NAME
      DCE_SVC_INTRO - Introduction to the DCE serviceability macros

  DESCRIPTION

  The DCE_SVC_DEFINE_HANDLE macro is used to create a serviceability
  handle.  This can be useful in a library that has no explicit
  initialization routine in which a call to dce_svc_register() could
  be added.  The remaining macros can be "compiled out" of production
  code, or left in to aid diagnostics, depending on whether or not
  DCE_DEBUG (normally found in dce/dce.h) is defined.

  The DCE Serviceability Macros

  The serviceability macros are as follows, listed in alphabetical order:

  DCE_SVC_DEBUG()     Used to generate debugging output.

  DCE_SVC_DEBUG_ATLEAST()
                      Can be used to test the debug level of a
                      subcomponent for a specified handle. Tests
                      whether the debug level is at least at the
                      specified level.

  DCE_SVC_DEBUG_IS()  Can be used to test the debug level of a
                      subcomponent for a specified handle. Tests
                      for an exact match with the specified level.

  DCE_SVC_DEFINE_HANDLE()
                      Registers a serviceability message table.

  DCE_SVC_LOG()       Generates debugging output based on a message
                      defined in an application's sams file.
