.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Initializes the dumping handle, grabs the statistic lock and appends an empty TLV header to the socket buffer for use a container for all other statistic TLVS\&.
.PP
The dumping handle is marked to be in backward compatibility mode telling all
\fBgnet_stats_copy_XXX\fR
functions to fill a local copy of struct tc_stats\&.
.PP
Returns 0 on success or \-1 if the room in the socket buffer was not sufficient\&.
