]]> DtSearchInit library call DtSearchInit Initialize the DtSearch online API for subsequent calls #include <Dt/Search.h> int DtSearchInit void *argv0 char *userid long switches char *ocf_file FILE *err_file char ***dbnames int *dbcount DtSearchInit opens databases and other files and initializes the search engine API for subsequent requests. It must be the first online DtSearch function called. DtSearchInit may be called only once, although DtSrReinit may be called at any time after DtSearchInit. If this function fails, the caller should display the MessageList returned and exit; no subsequent requests will be possible. argv0 Specifies the program name to be assembled into usage, error, and debug messages from the API. It is intended to be the value of argv[0] from main. userid Specifies a 1- to 8-character name to use for log messages to distinguish between users and applications where multiple copies of the engine are running. If NULL, the first 8 characters of the LOGNAME environment variable are used. switches Specifies a set of bit switches used principally to enable printing debugging statements and controlling signal registration. DtSrInNOLOCALE Do not execute setlocale within DtSearchInit. DtSrInSIGNAL Register DtSearch abort signal handlers. DtSrInENAB_NOHUP Reenable NOHUP for offline background programs. This is also the normal action unless DtSrInSIGNAL has been specified, in which case normal action is to abort on SIGHUP signal. DtSrInIDEBUG Writes initialization trace messages to err_file. DtSrInSDEBUG Writes query and search trace messages to err_file. DtSrInRDEBUG Writes document retrieval trace messages to err_file. DtSrInANY_DEBUG Equivalent to (DtSrInIDEBUG | DtSrInSDEBUG |DtSrInRDEBUG) DtSrInRDWR Opens database files for both read and write. The default is read-only. For example, to enable trace statements only for search and retrieval operations, pass switches as (DtSrInSDEBUG | DtSrInRDEBUG). Pass zero for switches for most normal API operations. ocf_file Specifies the fully qualified path and base file name of the API ocf configuration file. If NULL, the initialization function looks for an ocf file with a base name of either dtsearch.ocf or austext.ocf in the directory specified by the DTSROCFPATH environment variable, in the current working directory, or in the HOME directory, in that order. See &cdeman.dtsrocffile; for the format of an ocf file. err_file Specifies a pointer to a previously opened text stream file where the API will write fatal error and debug trace messages. The normal value passed for err_file is NULL, in which case such messages will be written to stderr. dbnames Specifies an address where a pointer to an array of static database name string pointers will be placed. Each string identifies a single database successfully opened by this function. A database name string from this array will be used in most later API function calls. The dbn member in DtSrResult is an index into this array. dbcount Specifies a pointer to the int where the size of the dbnames array will be stored. DtSearchInit returns DtSrOK, and possible messages on the MessageList, if the API is successfully initialized. It returns DtSrFAIL and messages on the MessageList if the API cannot be successfully initialized. LOGNAME First 8 characters are used for userid if that argument is not passed. DTSROCFPATH Specifies a directory where the API configuration ocf file may be located. Used in lieu of specifying the ocf_file argument. HOME Specifies an alternative directory in which to look for the ocf file if the ocf_file argument is not passed, if the DTSROCFPATH environment variable is not specified, or if the ocf file is not found either in the DTSROCFPATH directory or in the current working directory. &cdeman.DtSrAPI;, &cdeman.DtSearchReinit;, &cdeman.DtSearchGetMessages;, &cdeman.dtsrocffile;, &cdeman.DtSearch;
