NAME

       votequorum_initialize - Create a new connection to the VoteQuorum service

SYNOPSIS

       #include <corosync/votequorum.h>

       int votequorum_initialize(votequorum_handle_t *handle, votequorum_callbacks_t *callbacks);

DESCRIPTION

       The  votequorum_initialize  function  is used to initialize a connection to the vote-based
       quorum database API.

       Each application may have several connections to the  votequorum  API.   Each  application
       uses the handle argument to uniquely identify the connection.  The handle argument is then
       used in other function calls to identify the connection to be used for communication  with
       the votequorum service.

       Every  time  the  voting  configuraton changes (eg a node joins or leave the cluster), the
       callback is called.  The callback function is described by the following type definitions:

       typedef void (*votequorum_notification_fn_t) (
            votequorum_handle_t handle,
            uint64_t context,
            uint32_t quorate,
            uint32_t node_list_entries,
            votequorum_node_t node_list[]
            );

       Every time the expected votes are changed, the callback is  called.   The  expected  votes
       callback function is described by the following type definitions:

       typedef void (*votequorum_expectedvotes_notification_fn_t) (
               votequorum_handle_t handle,
               uint64_t context,
               uint32_t expected_votes);

       The callbacks argument is of the type:

       typedef struct {
            votequorum_notification_fn_t votequorum_notify_fn;
            votequorum_expectedvotes_notification_fn_t votequorum_expectedvotes_notify_fn;
       } votequorum_callbacks_t;

       When  a configuration change occurs, the callback is called from the votequorum_dispatch()
       function.

RETURN VALUE

       This call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
