In case of success, it also increments both the structural and the functional reference count by 1. If no .Fa init_f was installed, .Fn ENGINE_init always succeeds. Calling .Fn ENGINE_init again after it already succeeded always succeeds, but has no effect except that it increments both the structural and the functional reference count by 1. .Pp .Fn ENGINE_finish decrements the functional reference count by 1. When it reaches 0, it calls the .Fa finish_f previously installed with .Fn ENGINE_set_finish_function , if any. If no .Fa finish_f was installed, .Fn ENGINE_finish always succeeds. Unless .Fa finish_f fails, .Fn ENGINE_finish also calls .Xr ENGINE_free 3 . .Pp .Fn ENGINE_init is internally called by the functions documented in the .Xr ENGINE_get_default_RSA 3 manual page. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn ENGINE_init and .Fn ENGINE_finish return 1 on success or 0 on error. .Pp .Fn ENGINE_set_init_function and .Fn ENGINE_set_finish_function always return 1. .Pp .Fn ENGINE_get_init_function and .Fn ENGINE_get_finish_function return a function pointer to the respective callback, or .Dv NULL if none is installed. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ENGINE_add 3 , .Xr ENGINE_ctrl 3 , .Xr ENGINE_get_default_RSA 3 , .Xr ENGINE_new 3 , .Xr ENGINE_register_RSA 3 , .Xr ENGINE_set_default 3 , .Xr ENGINE_set_flags 3 , .Xr ENGINE_set_RSA 3 , .Xr ENGINE_unregister_RSA 3 .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and have been available since .Ox 2.9 .
