+ *
+ * \par Typical use case:
+ * Once before setting parameters of cynara configuration and passing to

+ *
+ * \par Method of function operation:
+ * This API initializes inner library structures and in case of success returns pointer
+ * to created cynara_configuration structure.
+ *
+ * \par Sync (or) Async:
+ * This as a synchronous API.
+ *
+ * \par Thread-safety:
+ * This function is NOT thread-safe. If functions from described API are called by multithreaded
+ * application from different threads, they must be put into protected critical section.
+ *
+ * \par Important notes:
+ * Structure cynara_configuration created by cynara_configuration_create() call
+ * should be released with cynara_configuration_destroy().
+ * Structure cynara_configuration should be destroyed after passing it to
+ * cynara_initialize().

+ * \par Typical use case:

+ *
+ * \par Method of function operation:
+ * Client (a process / application) demanding access to a privilege is running as some user.

+ * Depending on defined policy, an external application may be launched to ask user a question,

+ * may be used to distinguish between client session (e.g. for allowing access only for this
+ * particular application launch).

+/**
+ * \par Description:
+ * Check for (potential) permission to take some action or access a resource.
+ *
+ * \par Purpose:
+ * This API should be used for a quick check if a user running application identified as client
+ * has access to a given privilege.
+ *
+ * \par Typical use case:
+ * An application may use this API to check, if it has (potential) permission to take some action
+ * or access resource in future (permissions may rarely change). The typical use would be to disable
+ * or hide some of functionalities, if they probably could not be used anyways.
+ *
+ * \par Method of function operation:
+ * This function is very similar to cynara_check() with the difference, that in case of answer not
+ * being one of CYNARA_API_ACCESS_DENIED or CYNARA_API_ACCESS_ALLOWED, no external application will
+ * be consulted. Instead, CYNARA_API_ACCESS_NOT_RESOLVED is returned, meaning, that only running
+ * full cynara_check() API would yield eventual answer.
+ * Similarly, like in cynara_check(), argument client_session can be used to distinguish client
+ * sessions and grant possibility to yield answer from cache.
+ *
+ * \par Sync (or) Async:
+ * This is a synchronous API.
+ *
+ * \par Thread-safety:
+ * This function is NOT thread-safe. If functions from described API are called by multithreaded
+ * application from different threads, they must be put into mutex protected critical section.
+ *
+ * \par Important notes:
+ * \parblock
+ * The answer will be taken from Cynara's database without consulting any external applications.
+ * If the answer cannot be resolved in one of CYNARA_API_PERMISSION_DENIED or
+ * CYNARA_API_PERMISSION_ALLOWED without communicating with external application the API will return
+ * CYNARA_API_ACCESS_NOT_RESOLVED.
