Obsolete and replacement functions

Table C-1 maps obsolete Monitor Client Library functions to their replacement functions:

**Table C-1: Obsolete functions and replacement functions**
Obsolete	Replacement
smc_change_error_handler	smc_connect_props
smc_connect	smc_connect_alloc smc_connect_props smc_connect_ex
smc_create_alarm	smc_create_alarm_ex
smc_disconnect	smc_close smc_connect_drop
smc_refresh	smc_refresh_ex

The most significant syntactic difference between the obsolete and replacement functions is the callback function parameter. In earlier versions, SMC_CALLBACK, SMC_ALARM_CALLBACK, and SMC_ERR_CALLBACK were used to specify a callback function. These callback function types are have been replaced by SMC_GEN_CALLBACK.

The new refresh function, smc_refresh_ex, does not use any callback function, unlike the obsolete smc_refresh.

In addition to changing the callback function types, smc_connect and smc_disconnect have been replaced by a set of functions that allow for greater flexibility and control.
