QUVIcode quvi_init

(

quvi_t *

quvi

)

Start a new libquvi session.

Initializes a new session handle and locates the website scripts used to parse the video page links. The library searches the following paths in the following order:

• $QUVI_BASEDIR defined path (exclusive, overrides default search paths)
• Current working directory (./lua/website/)
• $HOME./quvi/
• $HOME/.config/quvi/
• $HOME/.local/share/quvi/
• --datadir=DIR (and pkgdatadir) specified with configure (script)
  • These directories are typically $prefix/share/ and $prefix/share/quvi/

Note that you can have libquvi dump (to stderr) the scanned directory paths by setting the QUVI_SHOW_SCANDIR environment variable.

Parameters:

quvi

Pointer to a new handle

Note:

• Close each created handle with quvi_close() when done using it
• libcurl will use the http_proxy environment setting if it is set
• See http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html on how to override that

Returns:

Non-zero if an error occurred
