	   It is allowed to call it again after \ref rsb_lib_exit().

	   \n
	   Options may be specified also after \ref rsb_lib_init() by calling \ref rsb_lib_reinit().
	   \n
	   One may call #RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE_GET  with flag  #RSB_IO_WANT_IS_INITIALIZED_MARKER  to verify whether the library has been initialized or not.
