Construct Handle to Initial Context

This operation returns a handle to the callers initial context. On successful return, the context handle points to a context containing the bindings described in "Initial Context Bindings".

FN_ctx_t *fn_ctx_handle_from_initial(
    unsigned int authoritative,
    FN_status_t *status);

authoritative specifies whether the handle to the Initial Context returned should be authoritative, with respect to information the context obtains from the naming service. When the flag is non-zero, subsequent operations on this context handle can access the most authoritative information. When authoritative is zero, the handle to the Initial Context returned need not be authoritative. Authoritativeness is determined by specific naming services. In some, the authoritative source is a single "master" servers, while in others, the authoritative source is a quorum of servers.
