matrix - DATA MATRIX

SYNOPSIS

Dataptr matrix;

DESCRIPTION

Pointer to the data matrix to use with the library during the current program's execution. It is not possible to change the matrix used once it has been read from file.

To discourage direct access, matrix is not declared in lvb.h. It should be declared in functions as required.


lvb_initialize - INITIALIZE lvb LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

void lvb_initialize(void);

DESCRIPTION

Initializes the LVB library. Must be called once, before any other LVB functions.

Currently, this function just checks that some features of the system are suitable for use with LVB. If not, it crashes verbosely.
