NAME

       RkInitialize - initialize the kana-kanji conversion functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <canna/RK.h>
       int RkInitialize(dhdpath)
       char *dhdpath;

DESCRIPTION

       RkInitialize initiates the kana-kanji conversion functions.  dhdpath names the dictionary home directory.

       Because  this  library  permits  multiple  kana-kanji  conversions  to  proceed concurrently, it uses the
       conversion context method of control  to  manage  the  kana-kanji  conversions.   Each  context  contains
       internal data needed to perform a kana-kanji conversion.

       Users  identify the conversion contexts from one another by their context number.  A context number is an
       integer of 0 or greater and is used as the first parameter of the kana-kanji conversion function.

       Right after the kana-kanji conversion functions  are  initialized  by  RkInitialize,  only  the  standard
       context with context number 0 exists.  Applications using only one context can use the standard context.

RETURN VALUE

       This function returns 0 if successful; otherwise, it returns -1.
