If you have the ability * to run Tor as a separate executable, you should probably do that instead * of embedding it as a library. * * To use this API, first construct a tor_main_configuration_t object using * tor_main_configuration_new(). Then, you use one or more other function * calls (such as tor_main_configuration_set_command_line() to configure how * Tor should be run. Finally, you pass the configuration object to * tor_run_main(). * * At this point, tor_run_main() will block its thread to run a Tor daemon; * when the Tor daemon exits, it will return. See notes on bugs and * limitations below. * * There is no other public C API to Tor: calling any C Tor function not * documented in this file is not guaranteed to be stable. **/ #ifndef TOR_API_H #define TOR_API_H typedef struct tor_main_configuration_t tor_main_configuration_t; /** * Create and return a new tor_main_configuration(). */ tor_main_configuration_t *tor_main_configuration_new(void); /** * Set the command-line arguments in cfg. * * The argc and argv values here are as for main().

Concurrent calls will cause undefined behavior. * We do not currently have plans to change this. * * LIMITATION: While we will try to fix any problems found here, you * should be aware that Tor was originally written to run as its own * process, and that the functionality of this file was added later.
