NAME¶

shisa_init - API function

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <shisa.h>

int shisa_init(Shisa ** dbh);

ARGUMENTS¶

Shisa ** dbh

Returned pointer to a created Shisa library handle.

DESCRIPTION¶

Creates a Shisa library handle, using shisa(), reading the system configuration file from its default location. The path to the default system configuration file is decided at compile time ($sysconfdir/shisa.conf).

The handle is allocated regardless of return value, the only exception being SHISA_INIT_ERROR, which indicates a problem in allocating the handle. Other error conditions arise while reading a file.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns SHISA_OK, or an error code. The value SHISA_INIT_ERROR indicates a failure to create the handle.
