loc_new - Create a new libloc context
#include <libloc/libloc.h>
struct loc_ctx;
int loc_new(struct loc_ctx** ctx);
struct loc_ctx* loc_ref(struct loc_ctx* ctx);
struct loc_ctx* loc_unref(struct loc_ctx* ctx);
Every operation in libloc requires to set up a context first. This is done by calling loc_new(3).
Every time another part of your code is holding a reference to the context, you will need to call loc_ref() to increase the reference counter. If you no longer need the context, you will need to call loc_unref().
