+These methods are currently unused, and as such, no replacement methods are
+required or planned.

OpenSSL has state that should be reset when a process forks. For example,
the entropy pool used to generate random numbers (and therefore encryption
keys) should not be shared across multiple programs.
functions are used to reset this internal state.
Platforms without fork(2) will probably not need to use these functions.

+Platforms with fork(2) but without pthread_atfork(3) will probably need
to call them manually, as described in the following paragraph. Platforms
such as Linux that have both functions will normally not need to call these
functions as the OpenSSL library will do so automatically.
L<OPENSSL_init_crypto(3)> will register these functions with the appropriate
handler, when the B<OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK> flag is used. For other
applications, these functions can be called directly. They should be used

documentation, which is summarized here. OPENSSL_fork_prepare() should
be called before a fork() is done. After the fork() returns, the parent
process should call OPENSSL_fork_parent() and the child process should
