DAT_PROVIDER_INIT(3DAT)				       DAT_PROVIDER_INIT(3DAT)

NAME
       dat_provider_init - locate the Provider in the Static Registry

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       void
	   dat_provider_init (
	   IN	 const DAT_PROVIDER_INFO    *provider_info,
	   IN	 const char *		    instance_data
	   )

PARAMETERS
       provider_info
			The  information  that was provided by the Consumer to
			locate the Provider in the Static Registry.

       instance_data
			The instance data string obtained from the entry found
			in the Static Registry for the Provider.

DESCRIPTION
       A constructor the Registry calls on a Provider before the first call to
       dat_ia_open(3DAT) for a given IA name when the Provider is auto-loaded.
       An  application	that explicitly loads a Provider on its own can choose
       to use dat_provider_init() just as the Registry would have done for  an
       auto-loaded Provider.

       The  Provider's	implementation	of  this  method  must	call  dat_reg‐
       istry_add_provider(3DAT),    using    the    IA	   name	    in	   the
       provider_info.ia_name  field,  to register itself with the Dynamic Reg‐
       istry. The implementation must not register  other  IA  names  at  this
       time.  Otherwise, the Provider is free to perform any initialization it
       finds useful within this method.

       This method is called before the first  call  to	 dat_ia_open()	for  a
       given IA name after one of the following has occurred:

	   o	  The Provider library was loaded into memory.

	   o	  The  Registry	 called	 dat_provider_fini(3DAT)  for  that IA
		  name.

	   o	  The Provider called  dat_registry_remove_provider(3DAT)  for
		  that	IA name (but it is still the Provider indicated in the
		  Static Registry).

       If this method fails, it should ensure that it does not leave its entry
       in the Dynamic Registry.

RETURN VALUES
       No values are returned.
