/**
 * @mainpage libsigrokdecode API
 *
 * @section sec_intro Introduction
 *
 * The <a href="http://sigrok.org">sigrok</a> project aims at creating a
 * portable, cross-platform, Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software
 * suite that supports various device types (such as logic analyzers,
 * oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
 *
 * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libsigrokdecode">libsigrokdecode</a> is a
 * shared library written in C which provides the basic API for (streaming)
 * protocol decoding functionality.
 *
 * The <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoders">protocol decoders</a>
 * are written in Python (>= 3.0).
 *
 * @section sec_api API reference
 *
 * See the "Modules" page for an introduction to various libsigrokdecode
 * related topics and the detailed API documentation of the respective
 * functions.
 *
 * You can also browse the API documentation by file, or review all
 * data structures.
 *
 * @section sec_mailinglists Mailing lists
 *
 * There is one mailing list for sigrok/libsigrokdecode: <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel">sigrok-devel</a>.
 *
 * @section sec_irc IRC
 *
 * You can find the sigrok developers in the

 *
 * Initializing and shutting down libsigrokdecode.
 *
 * Before using any of the libsigrokdecode functionality, srd_init() must
 * be called to initialize the library.
 *
 * When libsigrokdecode functionality is no longer needed, srd_exit() should
 * be called.
 *

/**
 * Initialize libsigrokdecode.
 *
 * This initializes the Python interpreter, and creates and initializes
 * a "sigrokdecode" Python module.
 *
 * Then, it searches for sigrok protocol decoders in the "decoders"
 * subdirectory of the the libsigrokdecode installation directory.
 * All decoders that are found are loaded into memory and added to an
 * internal list of decoders, which can be queried via srd_decoder_list().
 *
 * The caller is responsible for calling the clean-up function srd_exit(),
 * which will properly shut down libsigrokdecode and free its allocated memory.
 *
 * Multiple calls to srd_init(), without calling srd_exit() in between,
 * are not allowed.
 *
 * @param path Path to an extra directory containing protocol decoders
 *             which will be added to the Python sys.path. May be NULL.
 *
 * @return SRD_OK upon success, a (negative) error code otherwise.
 *         Upon Python errors, SRD_ERR_PYTHON is returned. If the decoders
 *         directory cannot be accessed, SRD_ERR_DECODERS_DIR is returned.
 *         If not enough memory could be allocated, SRD_ERR_MALLOC is returned.
