brlapi_handles(3)                   BrlAPI                   brlapi_handles(3)



NAME
       brlapi_handles - Each function provided by BrlAPI comes in two
       versions.


SYNOPSIS
   Typedefs
       typedef struct brlapi_handle_t brlapi_handle_t

   Functions
       size_t BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi_getHandleSize (void)

Detailed Description
       1.  A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi_ for clients opening
           only one simultaneous connection with BrlAPI (most frequen case)

       2.  A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi__ for use by clients
           wishing to open more than one connection to BrlAPI.

       A function called brlapi__foo is used in exactly the same way as its
       brlapi_foo counterpart, except that it takes an additional argument
       (the first one), which is a handle letting the client refer to a given
       connection in a similar manner to what file descriptors do.

       In case you want to check that your code is not erroneously using
       brlapi_foo functions, define BRLAPI_NO_SINGLE_SESSION before including
       <brlapi.h>: that will disable the declaration of all single session
       functions.
