<a name="XMLSEC-NOTES-INIT-SHUTDOWN"></a>Initialization and shutdown.</h1>
<p>XML Security Library initialization/shutdown
process includes initialization and shutdown of the
dependent libraries:
</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><p>libxml library;</p></li>
<li><p>libxslt library;</p></li>
<li><p>crypto library (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, GCrypt, NSS, ...);</p></li>
<li><p>xmlsec library
(<a href="xmlsec-xmlsec.html#XMLSECINIT">xmlSecInit</a>
and <a href="xmlsec-xmlsec.html#XMLSECSHUTDOWN">xmlSecShutdown</a>
functions);
</p></li>
<li><p>xmlsec-crypto library
(<a href="xmlsec-dl.html#XMLSECCRYPTODLLOADLIBRARY">xmlSecCryptoDLLoadLibrary</a>
to load xmlsec-crypto library dynamicaly if needed,
<a href="xmlsec-app.html#XMLSECCRYPTOINIT">xmlSecCryptoInit</a>
and <a href="xmlsec-app.html#XMLSECCRYPTOSHUTDOWN">xmlSecCryptoShutdown</a>
functions);
</p></li>
</ul>
xmlsec-crypto library also provides a convinient functions
<font>xmlSecAppCryptoInit</font>
and <font>xmlSecAppCryptoShutdown</font>
to initialize the crypto library itself but application can do it
by itself.
