DsInitialize(3D)

NAME
DsInitialize - Initialize Dor

SYNOPSIS
C:
void DsInitialize(processors)
DtInt processors;

FORTRAN:
CALL DSINIT(PROS)
INTEGER*4 PROS

DESCRIPTION
DsInitialize initializes the Dor system. This must be the first Dor call made by an application. Successive calls to this function are ignored unless preceded by a call to DsTerminate <DSTERM>.

The processors parameter specifies the multiprocessor usage of this run of Dore. The allowable values are:

0	use only one processor
positive number	run in multiprocessor mode, with the specified
	number of processors

Note that a value of 1 tells Dore to run in a multiprocessor mode, but with only one processor. This mode is useful for debugging purposes, but is generally less efficient than specifying 0 (true uniprocessor operation).
