OTCloneConfiguration

Copies an OTConfiguration structure.

C INTERFACE

OTConfiguration* OTCloneConfiguration(OTConfiguration* cfig);

C++ INTERFACE

None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

cfig

A pointer to the OTConfiguration structure that you want to copy.

function result

A pointer to a private OTConfiguration structure.

DISCUSSION

The OTCloneConfiguration function copies the OTConfiguration structure that you specify in the cfig parameter and returns a pointer to the copy. Because the format of an OTConfiguration structure is private, you must use the OTCloneConfiguration function to obtain two identical structures. Creating configurations through cloning is much faster than recreating them using the OTCreateConfiguration function.
