The scds_initialize Call

The DSDL requires that each callback method call the scds_initialize(3HA) function at the beginning of the method. This function does the following.

• Checks and processes the command line arguments (argc and argv[]) that the framework passes to the data service method. The method does not have to do any additional processing of the command-line arguments.

• Sets up internal data structures for use by the other functions in the DSDL.

• Initializes the logging environment.

• Validates fault monitor probe settings.

Use the scds_close function to reclaim the resources allocated by scds_initialize.
