DC_CONTEXT_NEW(3) Library Functions Manual DC_CONTEXT_NEW(3) NAME dc_context_new -- create a new device-handling context LIBRARY libdivecomputer SYNOPSIS #include <libdivecomputer/context.h> dc_status_t dc_context_new(dc_context_t **context); DESCRIPTION Create a context in which dive computers may be queried. The "context" supplies logging messages and so on, and may be re-used for multiple dive computer query sessions. It is usually passed to dc_device_open(3) to query a specific dive computer device. On success, the context must be freed with dc_context_free(3). You may configure the context with dc_context_set_loglevel(3) and dc_con- text_set_logfunc(3). This is highly recommended as the default logging be- haviour of dc_context_new depends upon compile-time values. RETURN VALUES This returns DC_STATUS_OK on success, in which case context is filled in, or an error code on failure.
