int __stdcall SME_Initialize ( SME_HANDLE *  handle)

Initializes the interface and allocates internal memory.

Parameters
[out]handleSME Integer handle required by all other SME functions.
Return values
0Success.

SME_Initialize() allocates internal memory and prepares the SME interface. After using the SME interface, it is necessary to explicitly call SME_Cleanup() to avoid memory leaks.

Warning
The SME handle returned by SME_Initialize() is compatible with only the functions beginning with "SME_". The SME API was written only to locate and configure Ethernet enabled Sealevel I/O modules. In order to read or write to a particular SeaI/O module, the standard SeaMAX "SM_" functions should be used, after opening the module with SM_Open() and acquiring a SM handle.
