DESCRIPTION

cgi_init initializes the ClearSilver CGI environment, including creating the HDF data set. It will then import the standard CGI environment variables into that dataset, will parse the QUERY_STRING into the data set, and parse the HTTP_COOKIE into the data set.

RETURN VALUE

cgi - an allocated CGI struct, including
