Sets up connections, signal handlers, sockets etc.

Returns:

1 or greater on success, 0 otherwise.

This function sets up all singal handlers and the basic event loop. If it succeeds, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0 will be returned.

 #include <Ecore.h>

 int main(int argc, char **argv)
 {
   if (!ecore_init())
   {
     printf("ERROR: Cannot init Ecore!\n");
     return -1;
   }
   ecore_main_loop_begin();
   ecore_shutdown();
 }

This function is affected by some environment variables:

• ECORE_NO_SYSTEM_MODULES=1 may be used to temporarily disable system modules, often useful for debug.

• ECORE_FPS_DEBUG=1 prints frames per second, usefult to detect lags and blocking calls.

• ECORE_MEM_STAT=1 will generate ecore_mem_stat.${PID} file with memory statistics.

• ECORE_ERROR_ABORT=1 will abort on errors.

This function will call eina_init(), so other environment variables may apply.

Shuts down connections, signal handlers sockets etc.

Returns:

0 if ecore shuts down, greater than 0 otherwise. This function shuts down all things set up in ecore_init() and cleans up all event queues, handlers, filters, timers, idlers, idle enterers/exiters etc. set up after ecore_init() was called.

Do not call this function from any callback that may be called from the main loop, as the main loop will then fall over and not function properly.
