Detailed Description

15       Each function provided by BrlAPI comes in two versions.
16
17       1. A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi_ for clients opening only
18       one simultaneous connection with BrlAPI (most frequen case)
19
20       2. A version whose name is prefixed by brlapi__ for use by clients
21       wishing to open more than one connection to BrlAPI.
22
23       A function called brlapi__foo is used in exactly the same way as its
24       brlapi_foo counterpart, except that it takes an additional argument
25       (the first one), which is a handle letting the client refer to a given
26       connection in a similar manner to what file descriptors do.
27
28       In case you want to check that your code is not erroneously using
29       brlapi_foo functions, define BRLAPI_NO_SINGLE_SESSION before including
30       <brlapi.h>: that will disable the declaration of all single session
31       functions.
