 The API for these graphics apps is [GraphicsApi here].
 
-BOINC applications may consist of several programs that are executed in sequence;
-these are called compound applications.
-See the [CompoundApps compound application API].

 == Initialization and termination == #init
 
 Initialization must be done before calling other BOINC functions.
 
-To initialize a single-thread program, call
-{{{
-#!c++
-int boinc_init();

-To initialize a multi-thread program, call
-{{{
-#!c++
-int boinc_init_parallel();

-Note that `boinc_init_parallel` will `fork` on Unix systems,
-so you must not create any thread or try to store the current PID
-before calling this function.
-If this function succeeds,
-the parent (original) process will run an internal loop,
-and will not return;
-code following the `boinc_init_parallel` call will run in the child process.
