+ <para>Before we begin, you will have to set up a running Zookeeper
server so that we can start developing the client. For C client bindings, we
will be using the multithreaded library(zookeeper_mt) with a simple example
written in C. To establish a connection with Zookeeper server, we make use of C
API - <emphasis>zookeeper_init</emphasis> with the following signature:</para>

can we use a c compiler for consistency?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-169
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Robbie Scott
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> We need the content which describes how to a client should connect to a
> zookeeper server. Ideally this would have pseudo code describing any lead-up
> (for example resource allocation, etc), a few lines of sample code in Java,
> and a few parallel lines in C.
> Any commentary would be highly appreciated. Stuff like, "You can open an
> unlimited number of ZooKeeper connections because..." or "Opening too many
> connections to ZooKeeper is not advisable because..." -- in short, anything
> that is not obvious to the new ZooKeeper developer.
