Initialization

These routines set up and define the connection between the application program and a server. They handle such tasks as allocating and defining a LOGINREC structure, opening a connection to a server, and allocating a DBPROCESS structure. Only a few of the routines are absolutely necessary in every DB-Library/C program; in particular, an application requires dbinit, dblogin, and dbopen. The lists below specify the initialization routines in the approximate order in which a program is likely to call them.
