PM_init

Initialise the PM library

Declaration

void PMAPI PM_init(void)

Prototype In

pmapi.h

Description

Initialise the PM library and connect to our helper device driver. If we cannot connect to our helper device driver, we bail out with an error message. Our Windows 9x VxD is dynamically loadable, so it can be loaded after the system has started. On Windows NT/2000/XP the device driver sevice must be installed first during application installation by a system administrator. On OS/2 the SDDHELP.SYS driver must be installed in the CONFIG.SYS file prior to use. On other platforms this function does not usually require an external device driver and just initialises the PM library internals.
