.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libar2_init ()
function initialises the library, specifically
it selects which versions of different functions
the library shall use, based on the capabilities
of the machine that runs the function.
.PP
The
.BR libar2_init ()
function is called automatically by the
.BR libar2_hash (3)
function, but it is desirable, but not necessary,
for multi-threaded applications to call it manually,
also depending on the capabilities of the compiler
and linker that was used to create the library, the
.BR libar2_init ()
function may be called automatically at load-time.

None.
