Utilities

The Clinfo C API has several utility routines.

cl_initialize routine
The cl_initialize() routine was used in prior releases to attach to shared memory.
cl_errmsg routine
The cl_errmsg routine takes a status code returned by Clinfo and returns the text for that error code.
cl_errmsg_r routine
The cl_errmsg_r routine takes a status code returned by Clinfo and returns the text for that error code.
cl_perror routine
The cl_perror routine writes a message that describes a specified error code to standard error. cl_perror places the supplied error string before the error message, and places a colon following the error message.
