	   This is the library initialization function.
	   \n
	   It must be called only once before using any other library function.
	   \n
	   It is allowed to call it again after \ref rsb_lib_exit().
	   \n
	   To fine-tune the library behaviour, one may specify a number of options via the \c iop parameter.
	   \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.
	   \n
	   If the \c RSB_NUM_THREADS environment variable is set, \ref rsb_lib_init() uses it and sets the number of active threads, thus overriding what detected by the OpenMP runtime (e.g. \c OMP_NUM_THREADS).
