* \file tor_api.h
* \brief Public C API for the Tor network service.
*
* This interface is intended for use by programs that need to link Tor as
* a library, and launch it in a separate thread. If you have the ability
* to run Tor as a separate executable, you should probably do that instead
* of embedding it as a library.

* This function will not return until Tor is done running. It returns zero
* on success, and nonzero on failure.
*
* BUG 23848: In many cases, tor_main will call exit() or abort() instead of
* returning. This is not the intended long-term behavior; we are trying to
* fix it.
*
* BUG 23847: You can only call tor_main() once in a single process; if it
* returns and you call it again, you may crash. This is not intended
* long-term behavior; we are trying to fix it.
*
* LIMITATION: You cannot run more than one instance of Tor in the same
* process at the same time. Concurrent calls will cause undefined behavior.
* We do not currently have plans to change this.
