     3 ------------------------

     5 To use this Native Platform Toolkit library, you need to add 

     6 -Isrc/share/npt and -I/src/${platform}/npt (platform is solaris or windows)

     7 to your compilation lines.

     8 

     9 To initialize/use the library:

    10 

    11     #include "npt.h"

    12     

    13     NptEnv *npt;

    14     

    15     NPT_INITIALIZE(&npt, NPT_VERSION, NULL);

    16     if (npt == NULL) {

    17         FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt library"));

    18     }

    19 

    20     /* To use the npt utf functions, they require initialization */

    21     npt->utf = (npt->utfInitialize)(NULL);

    22     if (npt->utf == NULL) {

    23         FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt utf functions"));

    24     }

    25 

    26     ...

    27

    29     /* After all uses is done, it can be terminated, however, if the

    30      *   process will be exiting anyway it isn't necessary, and if

    31      *   you have other threads running that might use these handles

    32      *   you will need to wait here until all those threads have terminated.

    33      *   So in general, termination can be a pain and slow your process

    34      *   termination down.

    35      */

    36     (npt->utfTerminate)(npt->utf,NULL);

    37     NPT_TERMINATE(&npt, NULL);
