Description

Fvsinit() initializes all members in a C structure to the NULL values specified in the view description, view. cstruct is a pointer to a C structure. view is a pointer to a compiled view description.

Fvsinit() sets the associated count member of an element to 0 if the C flag was used when the view was compiled, and sets the associated length member to the length of the associated NULL value if the L flag was used in the viewfile.

Fvsinit32() is used for views defined with viewc32 or VIEW32 typed buffers for larger views with more fields.

A thread in a multithreaded application may issue a call to Fvsinit() or Fvsinit32() while running in any context state, including TPINVALIDCONTEXT.
