XDS API defines a set of functions that only interact with the XDS interface and have no counterpart in the directory standard definition:
· ds_initialize( )
· ds_version( )
· ds_shutdown( )
These interface functions perform operations that involve the initialization, management, and termination of sessions with the XDS interface service.
