-Bindings
-========
-
-.. module:: cryptography.hazmat.bindings
-
-``cryptography`` aims to provide low-level CFFI based bindings to multiple
-native C libraries. These provide no automatic initialization of the library
-and may not provide complete wrappers for its API.
-
-Using these functions directly is likely to require you to be careful in
-managing memory allocation, locking and other resources.

-OpenSSL binding
-===============

-.. currentmodule:: cryptography.hazmat.bindings.openssl.binding
-
-These are `CFFI`_ bindings to the `OpenSSL`_ C library. Cryptography supports
-OpenSSL version 1.0.2 and greater.
-
-.. class:: cryptography.hazmat.bindings.openssl.binding.Binding()
-
-    This is the exposed API for the OpenSSL bindings. It has two public
-    attributes:
-
-    .. attribute:: ffi
-
-        This is a ``cffi.FFI`` instance. It can be used to allocate and
-        otherwise manipulate OpenSSL structures.
-
-    .. attribute:: lib
-
-        This is a ``cffi`` library. It can be used to call OpenSSL functions,
-        and access constants.
-
-    .. classmethod:: init_static_locks
-
-        Enables the best available locking callback for OpenSSL.
-        See :ref:`openssl-threading`.

-Threading
----------
-
-``cryptography`` enables OpenSSLs `thread safety facilities`_ in several
-different ways depending on the configuration of your system. For users on
-OpenSSL 1.1.0 or newer (including anyone who uses a binary wheel) the OpenSSL
-internal locking callbacks are automatically used. Otherwise, we first attempt
-to use the callbacks provided by your Python implementation specifically for
-OpenSSL. This will work in every case except where ``cryptography`` is linked
-against a different version of OpenSSL than the one used by your Python
-implementation. For this final case we have a C-based locking callback.
