Use the Purify application programming interface (API) for fine-grained control over the collection and display of error data.
Unless otherwise specified, Purify API functions return 0, indicating success.
Output from Purify API functions is sent to the Purify Viewer or, if you are not using the Purify graphical interface, to stderr.
The Purify API includes the following functions:
