INITIALIZEEDIT
Allocates the EDIT file segment (EFS) to be used by IOEdit and initializes the data
structures that it contains.
nowait-option
INITIALIZER
Reads the startup message and, optionally, requests receipt of assign and param
messages sent by the Guardian command interpreter.
Considerations for C Programmers
Do not call INITIALIZER from a Guardian or OSS C program. You can instead obtain
the startup information from the C run-time library. Refer to the C/C++ Programmer’s
Guide for information on how to obtain the startup information from a Guardian C
program.
INTERPRETINTERVAL
Converts a value representing a number of microseconds into days, hours, minutes,
seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds.
