[Plib-users] netInit()

[Cameron M. <li...@to...>]

Simply because I'm curious...why does netInit() from src/netSocket.*
take argc & argv as parameters?  They are currently unused, and I'm
stretching trying to come up with a good reason for them being there in
the first place.  ;-p  Thanks

So that, like audio and graphics, the net library can take some command line
initialisation...

int alutInit ( int* argc, char** argv ) ; /* audio */
int glutInit ( int* argc, char** argv ) ; /* graphics */
int netInit ( int* argc, char** argv ) ; /* network */

Currently, it's not used, but it's nice to have if we need it later.

But:

  void puInit () ;
  void fntInit () ;
  void ssgInit () ;
  void slInit () ;

...I suppose the "right" thing to do would be to make them optional
arguments.

  void netInit ( int *argc = NULL, char **argv = NULL ) ;

Taken care of.  netInit() parameters are now optional.  --Dave
