<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>Each function provided by BrlAPI comes in two versions.</p>
<p>1. A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi_ for clients opening only one simultaneous connection with BrlAPI (most frequen case)</p>
<p>2. A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi__ for use by clients wishing to open more than one connection to BrlAPI.</p>
<p>A function called brlapi__foo is used in exactly the same way as its brlapi_foo counterpart, except that it takes an additional argument (the first one), which is a handle letting the client refer to a given connection in a similar manner to what file descriptors do.</p>
<p>In case you want to check that your code is not erroneously using brlapi_foo functions, define BRLAPI_NO_SINGLE_SESSION before including <<a class="el" href="brlapi_8h.html" title="Types, defines and functions prototypes for BrlAPI's library.">brlapi.h</a>>: that will disable the declaration of all single session functions. </p>
