Bulk-Library initialization and cleanup

Bulk-Library operations require a CS_BLKDESC structure. An application can allocate a CS_BLKDESC by calling blk_alloc. When a bulk operation is complete, the application can drop its CS_BLKDESC by calling blk_drop.

blk_init initiates a bulk copy operation.

The Bulk-Library routine blk_init has parameters for structure, tablename and direction values that are equivalent to parameters in CT-Library’s bcp_init. However, blk_init does not handle host file or error file name parameters.
