Initialization</A>

Before using libclamav, you should call <code>cl_init()</code> to initialize
it. When it's done, you're ready to create a new scan engine by calling
<code>cl_engine_new()</code>. To free resources allocated by the engine use
<code>cl_engine_free()</code>. Function prototypes:
<PRE>
int cl_init(unsigned int options);
struct cl_engine *cl_engine_new(void);
int cl_engine_free(struct cl_engine *engine);
</PRE>
<code>cl_init()</code> and <code>cl_engine_free()</code> return <code>CL_SUCCESS</code>
on success or another code on error. <code>cl_engine_new()</code> return
a pointer or NULL if there's not enough memory to allocate a new
engine structure.
