scds_initialize() Function

The DSDL requires that each callback method call the scds_initialize() function at the beginning of the method. This function performs the following operations:

• 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 process any additional 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 that are allocated by scds_initialize().
