int odm_initialize( )
The odm_initialize subroutine starts ODM for use with an application program.
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. If the odm_initialize subroutine is unsuccessful, a value of -1 is returned and the odmerrno variable is set to an error code.
Failure of the odm_initialize subroutine sets the odmerrno variable to one of the following error codes:
| ODMI_INVALID_PATH | |
| The specified path does not exist on the file system. Make sure the path is accessible. | |
| ODMI_MALLOC_ERR | |
| Cannot allocate sufficient storage. Try again later or contact the person responsible for the system. | |
This subroutine is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
