## Description

Initialization functions for Bonobo applications.

## Details

### bonobo_is_initialized ()

    gboolean    bonobo_is_initialized           (void);

This allows you to protect against double initialization in your code.

Returns : | whether the ORB is initialized

### bonobo_init ()

    gboolean    bonobo_init                     (int *argc,
                                                 char **argv);

Initializes the bonobo component model.

`argc` : | a pointer to the number of arguments
`argv` : | the array of arguments
Returns : | `TRUE` on success, or `FALSE` on failure.

### bonobo_init_full ()

    gboolean    bonobo_init_full                (int *argc,
                                                 char **argv,
                                                 CORBA_ORB opt_orb,
                                                 PortableServer_POA opt_poa,
                                                 PortableServer_POAManager opt_manager);

Initializes the bonobo document model. It requires at least the value for `orb`. If `poa` is CORBA_OBJECT_NIL, then the RootPOA will be used, in this case `manager` should be CORBA_OBJECT_NIL.

`argc` : | a pointer to the number of arguments
`argv` : | the array of arguments
`opt_orb` : | the ORB in which we run
`opt_poa` : | optional, a POA
`opt_manager` : | optional, a POA Manager
Returns : | `TRUE` on success, or `FALSE` on failure.

### bonobo_debug_init ()

    void        bonobo_debug_init               (void);

### bonobo_debug_print ()

    void        bonobo_debug_print              (char *name,
                                                 char *fmt,
                                                 ...);

`name` : |
`fmt` : |
`...` : |

### bonobo_debug_shutdown ()

    int         bonobo_debug_shutdown           (void);

This shuts down the ORB and any other bonobo related resources.

Returns : | whether the shutdown was clean, a good value to return from 'main'.

### bonobo_main ()

    void        bonobo_main                     (void);

Activates the Bonobo POA Manager and enters the main event loop.

### bonobo_main_quit ()

    void        bonobo_main_quit                (void);

Quits the main event loop.

### bonobo_main_level ()

    guint       bonobo_main_level               (void);

Determines the number of times the bonobo main loop has been entered (minus the number of exits from the main loop).

Returns : | The number of main loops currently running (0 if no main loops are running).

### bonobo_activate ()

    gboolean    bonobo_activate                 (void);

Activates the Bonobo POA manager registered by bonobo_init. This should be called at the end of application initialization. You do not need to call this function if you use `bonobo_main()`.

Returns : | `TRUE` on success, or `FALSE` on failure.

### bonobo_setup_x_error_handler ()

    void        bonobo_setup_x_error_handler    (void);

### bonobo_orb ()

    CORBA_ORB   bonobo_orb                      (void);

Returns : | The ORB used for this Bonobo application. The ORB is created in `bonobo_init()`.

### bonobo_poa ()

    PortableServer_POA bonobo_poa               (void);

Returns : | The POA used for this Bonobo application. The POA is created when `bonobo_init()` is called.

### bonobo_poa_manager ()

    PortableServer_POAManager bonobo_poa_manager
                                                (void);

Returns : | The POA Manager used for this Bonobo application. The POA Manager is created when `bonobo_init()` is called, but it is not activated until `bonobo_main()` is called.

### bonobo_poa_get_threaded ()

    PortableServer_POA bonobo_poa_get_threaded  (ORBitThreadHint hint,
                                                 ...);

Get a predefined POA for a given threading policy/hint. The returned POA can be passed as the "poa" constructor property of a BonoboOject.

`hint` : | the desired thread hint
`...` : |
Returns : | the requested POA.
