Initializes the X.25 application programming interface (API).
X.25 Communications Library (libx25s.a)
int x25_init(link_name) struct cb_link_name_struct *link_name;
The x25_init subroutine establishes communications with the X.25 device driver to set up X.25 communications with the X.25 port named by the link_name parameter. The application must invoke the x25_init subroutine before any other X.25 subroutines.
Note: Initializing a port does not guarantee that the port is connected (see the x25_link_query subroutine).
| link_name | Indicates a pointer to the cb_link_name_struct structure, which gives the name of the X.25 port. |
If successful, the x25_init subroutine returns a value of 0. If an error occurs, the x25_init subroutine returns a value of -1 and sets the x25_errno global variable to one of the error codes shown below.
On failure, the x25_errno global variable is set to one of the following:
