VixDiskLib_InitEx

# Description

    VixError
    VixDiskLib_InitEx(uint32 majorVersion,
                      uint32 minorVersion,
                      VixDiskLibGenericLogFunc *log,
                      VixDiskLibGenericLogFunc *warn,
                      VixDiskLibGenericLogFunc *panic,
                      const char *libDir,
                      const char *configFilePath);

This function initializes VixDiskLib.

# Parameters

majorVersion
  Major version number of VixDiskLib (VDDK release number).
minorVersion
  Minor version number of VixDiskLib (VDDK dot release number).
log
  User defined function to write log messages.
warn
  User defined function to write warning messages. In addition, VixDiskLib also writes this message to stderr.
panic
  User defined function to write panic message.
libDir
  A directory path to locate dependent DLL / shared objects (e.g vixDiskLibVim.dll, libeay32.dll). Can be NULL.
configFilePath
  Location of the config file in local encoding. Can be NULL.

# Return Value

VIX_OK if the function succeeded, otherwise an appropriate VIX error code.

# Remarks

- VixDiskLib_InitEx() must be the first VixDiskLib function to be called.
- Due to internationalization, you may not call VixDiskLib_InitEx() more than once per process.
- In a multi-threaded program, it is the application programmer's responsibility to serialize writing to the log file.
- VixDiskLib_InitEx() must be matched with VixDiskLib_Exit() near end of program.
- Calling VixDiskLib_InitEx() with NULL parameters for log, warn, and panic results in VixDiskLib creating and writing to a default log file.
- Passing NULL as configFilePath causes VixDiskLib to choose default configuration parameters.
- For a list of supported name/value pairs in the configFile, see the Virtual Disk Programming Guide.

# Example

       vixError = VixDiskLib_InitEx(VIXDISKLIB_VERSION_MAJOR,
                                    VIXDISKLIB_VERSION_MINOR,
                                    LogFunction, WarningFunction, PanicFunction,
                                    "C:\\Program Files\\Super Backup Company\\Super Backup 1.0",
                                    "C:\\Documents And Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Super Backup 1.0\\vixdisklib.ini");
