Mandatory

For each runtime derivative, you must supply a C-based variable and an external entry point. Respectively, these are:

• KcsDLOpen()XXXXCount()()

• KcsCreate()XXXX()()

The KcsDLOpenStatusCount()()variable is the only requirement for extending the KcsStatus class.

KcsDLOpen()XXXXCount()()

extern

long

KcsDLOpen()XXXXCount();

KcsDLOpen()XXXXCount()()is the number of times the shareable object was opened. It is equivalent to the number of times the shareable object is being shared. The CMM should not set this variable. It is controlled by the KCMS framework.

KcsCreate()XXXX()()

KcsXXXX

*KcsCreateXXXX(KcsStatus *,

XXXX creation

args);

KcsCreate()XXXX()() is one of possibly many creation entry points. This entry point maps directly to the static create()XXXX()() methods of the base class from which it is being derived. The arguments following KcsStatus * are specific to the base class and are described in the appropriate class chapter. See the chapters describing the KcsIO, KcsProfile, KcsProfileFormat, and KcsXform classes (Chapter 4, KcsIO Derivative through Chapter 7, KcsXform Derivative , respectively). The CMM must support all declared create()XXXX()() methods; otherwise, applications receive CMM errors from calls to load()().
