README: For NPT Library. ------------------------ To use this Native Platform Toolkit library, you need to add -Isrc/share/npt and -I/src/${platform}/npt (platform is solaris or windows) to your compilation lines. To initialize/use the library: #include "npt.h" NptEnv *npt; NPT_INITIALIZE(&npt, NPT_VERSION, NULL); if (npt == NULL) { FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt library")); } /* To use the npt utf functions, they require initialization */ npt->utf = (npt->utfInitialize)(NULL); if (npt->utf == NULL) { FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt utf functions")); } ... /* After all uses is done, it can be terminated, however, if the * process will be exiting anyway it isn't necessary, and if * you have other threads running that might use these handles * you will need to wait here until all those threads have terminated. * So in general, termination can be a pain and slow your process * termination down. */ (npt->utfTerminate)(npt->utf,NULL); NPT_TERMINATE(&npt, NULL);
