.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBfstyp_init()\fR function returns a \fIhandle\fR associated with the
specified parameters. This \fIhandle\fR should be used with all other
\fBlibfstyp\fR functions.
.sp
.LP
If \fImodule_dir\fR is \fINULL\fR, \fBfstyp_init()\fR looks for modules in the
default location: \fB/usr/lib/fs\fR subdirectories. The \fBfstyp_init()\fR
function locates \fBlibfstyp\fR modules, but might defer loading the modules
until the subsequent \fBfstyp_ident()\fR call.
.sp
.LP
If \fImodule_dir\fR is other than \fINULL\fR, the \fBfstyp_init()\fR function
locates a module in the directory that is specified. If no module is found,
\fBfstyp_init\fR fails with \fBFSTYP_ERR_MOD_NOT_FOUND\fR.
.sp
.LP
Modules that do not support non-zero offset can fail \fBfstyp_init()\fR with
\fBFSTYP_ERR_OFFSET\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBfstyp_fini()\fR function releases all resources associated with a handle
and invalidates the handle.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBfstyp_init()\fR function returns \fB0\fR on success and an error value
on failure. See \fBfstyp_strerror\fR(3FSTYP).
