Application level definition files

The initialization file

The initialization file is a file containing descriptors that apply to your application as a whole. If you want to use an initialization file for your application, its name can be supplied as an argument, -i initialization_file, when the fmli command is invoked. As its name implies, its contents are read when your application is invoked. (It can also be reread using the reinit command.) In the initialization file you can define the following facets of your application:

A suggested order for initialization file descriptors is the following, although the only order that is enforced is that any sets of screen-labeled function key descriptors must be last in the initialization file.

   [introductory_frame_descriptor_1
   .
   .
   .
   introductory_frame_descriptor_n]

[banner_line_descriptor_1 . . . banner_line_descriptor_n]

[color_attribute_descriptor_1 . . . color_attribute_descriptor_n]

[general_application_descriptor_1 . . . general_application_descriptor_n]

[SLK-n_descriptor_1 . . . SLK-n_descriptor_n

...]

Note that all sets of descriptors in an initialization file are optional, as is the initialization file itself.
