<p>PKCS#11 modules are used by crypto libraries and applications to access
crypto objects (like keys and certificates) and to perform crypto operations.</p>
<p>In order for applications to behave consistently with regard to the user's
installed PKCS#11 modules, each module must be configured so that applications
or libraries know that they should load it.</p>
<p>When multiple consumers of a module (such as libraries or applications) are
in the same process, coordination of the initialization and finalization
of PKCS#11 modules is required. To do this modules are managed by p11-kit.
This means that various unsafe methods are coordinated between callers. Unmanaged
modules are simply the raw PKCS#11 module pointers without p11-kit getting in the
way. It is highly recommended that the default managed behavior is used.</p>
<p>The functions here provide support for initializing configured modules. The
<a class="link" href="p11-kit-Modules.html#p11-kit-modules-load" title="p11_kit_modules_load ()"><code class="function">p11_kit_modules_load()</code></a> function should be used to load and initialize
the configured modules. When done, the <a class="link" href="p11-kit-Modules.html#p11-kit-modules-release" title="p11_kit_modules_release ()"><code class="function">p11_kit_modules_release()</code></a> function
should be used to release those modules and associated resources.</p>
<p>In addition <a class="link" href="p11-kit-Modules.html#p11-kit-config-option" title="p11_kit_config_option ()"><code class="function">p11_kit_config_option()</code></a> can be used to access other parts
of the module configuration.</p>
<p>If a consumer wishes to load an arbitrary PKCS#11 module that's not
configured use <a class="link" href="p11-kit-Modules.html#p11-kit-module-load" title="p11_kit_module_load ()"><code class="function">p11_kit_module_load()</code></a> to do so. And use <a class="link" href="p11-kit-Modules.html#p11-kit-module-release" title="p11_kit_module_release ()"><code class="function">p11_kit_module_release()</code></a>
to later release it.</p>
<p>Modules are represented by a pointer to their <code class="code">CK_FUNCTION_LIST</code>
entry points.</p>

<p>Finalize and then release the a set of loaded PKCS#11 modules.</p>
<p>The modules may be either managed or unmanaged. The array containing
the module pointers is also freed by this function.</p>
<p>Modules are released even if their finalization returns an error code.
Managed modules will not be actually finalized or released until all
callers using them have done so.</p>
<p>For managed modules the <code class="literal">C_Finalize</code> function
is overridden so that multiple callers can finalize the same
modules. In addition for managed modules multiple callers can
finalize from different threads, and still guarantee consistent
thread-safe behavior.</p>
<p>For unmanaged modules if multiple callers try to finalize
a module, then one of the calls will return
<code class="literal">CKR_CRYPTOKI_NOT_INITIALIZED</code> according to the
PKCS#11 specification. In addition there are no guarantees that
thread-safe behavior will occur if multiple callers initialize from
different threads.</p>
