       shishi_init - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int shishi_init(Shishi ** handle);

DESCRIPTION

       Create  a  Shishi  library handle, using shishi(), and read the system configuration file,
       user configuration file and user tickets from their default locations.  The paths  to  the
       system configuration file is decided at compile time, and is $sysconfdir/shishi.conf.  The
       user  configuration  file  is  $HOME/.shishi/config,  and  the   user   ticket   file   is
       $HOME/.shishi/ticket.

       The  handle is allocated regardless of return values, except for SHISHI_HANDLE_ERROR which
       indicates a problem allocating the handle.  (The other error conditions comes from reading
       the files.)

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SHISHI_OK iff successful.
