How does multi threading work in Snort 3? I mean - i made IPS Option and I
want it to be stateful (as in use global data shared amongst all ips option
instances). However from what I saw in manual Snort 3 support multi
threading. So how do I handle critical sections in IPS Option module code?
Can I just use pthread mutexes? Or is there some other recommended way?

Best regards
