Deprecated Launch Services Functions
A function identified as deprecated has been superseded and may become unsupported in the future.
Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.3
LSInit
(Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.3. Formerly used to initialize Launch Services; now does nothing.)
Not recommended.
OSStatus LSInit ( LSInitializeFlags inFlags );
Discussion
Calling this function was formerly required in order to initialize Launch Services; it is no longer needed, however, because Launch Services is now initialized automatically the first time one of its functions is called. LSInit now does nothing at all.
Version Notes
Thread-safe since Mac OS version 10.2.
Availability
- Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
- Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.3.
