Initialize the widget library
int PtInit( char const *name );
ph
This function initializes the widget library. If no Photon channel is currently attached, this function calls PhAttach() with the given Photon server name (/net/darrin/dev/photon, for example). If there is a current channel, PhAttach() isn't called.
Once a channel is attached, PtInit() initializes all the widgets supplied by QNX Software Systems.
|  | The application that calls PtInit() must have the appropriate permissions to read from and write to the attached Photon server, or the call will fail. | 
See PtClearWidget().
