FIPS_selftest() Usage

[Dipak B <deepak.redmi2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

For an application linked to FIPS capable OpenSSL, 

1) After calls to FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() both succeed, is it good practice to call FIPS_selftest()? Or is this redundant call?

2) Did come across documentation which only hinted that FIPS_mode_set() calls FIPS_selftest() internally. Is this correct?

Regards.
