Fragment Initialization Block
The Code Fragment Manager passes to your fragment's initialization routine a pointer to a fragment initialization block, which contains information about the fragment. A fragment initialization block is defined by the InitBlock data type.
struct InitBlock {
   long                    contextID;     /*context ID*/
   long                    closureID;     /*closure ID*/
   long                    connectionID;  /*connection ID*/
   FragmentLocator         fragLocator;   /*fragment location*/
   Ptr                     libName;       /*pointer to fragment name*/
   long                    reserved4a;    /*reserved*/
   long                    reserved4b;    /*reserved*/
   long                    reserved4c;    /*reserved*/
   long                    reserved4d;    /*reserved*/
};
typedef struct InitBlock InitBlock, *InitBlockPtr;
Field Description
