extern LIBVEM_API vem_handle_t* vem_open(vem_openreq_t *)
Open communication handle to VEM.Routine opens library configuration file to get master hostname and port number to connect to. The file field in vem_openreq can be used to specify the location of the configuration file. If it is NULL, environment variable VEMKD_LIB_CONF will be used.
