- This routine initializes certain private \*L structures.
- For environments that require it,
- the application must call \f2dbinit()\f1 before calling any other \*L routine.
- Most \*L routines will cause the application to exit if they are called
- before \f2dbinit()\f1.
- .Bl
- Currently, \f2dbinit()\f1 is required only in the Macintosh environment.
- However, to ensure future compatibility and portability,
- it is strongly recommended that all applications
- call \f2dbinit()\f1, no matter what their operating environment.
