The Bfv API Functions

November 2009

Some administration functions and macros cannot be classified with 

other functions, but are useful in various ways. For example:

„

_dll... functions for use on Windows® operating systems. These 

functions call standard C library functions such as fopen, fclose, 

fread, and fwrite; their arguments use the runtime library linked 

with the DLL.

„

The getopt function parses command line options in a UNIX 

environment. Most of the sample applications/utilities use this 

„

The BfvMemAllocFuncSet function allows you to write your 

own functions to dynamically allocate and free memory instead 

of using the Bfv API functions to do so.

„

The sleep macro lets you write applications that sleep for a 

defined period of time (in seconds). This macro is only defined for 

environments that do not have built-in sleep functions.
