//                        debug logs emitted by the library.
// 
//                multithreaded - Set to TRUE if the process is
//                                multithreaded.
// 
//                debugLevel - The level that the library should use for
//                             determining what information should be logged
//                             for debugging purposes. 0 being the lowest
//                             level.
// 
//                useSyslog - Set to TRUE to log debug statements using Syslog,
//                            else debugs are log to stderr.
//
// Arguments Out: None.
//
// Returns:       0 == Success

//
// Abstract:      Method to initialize the IPC infrastructure for process.
// 
// Note:          It is necessary to call the appropriate function to
