question about sending trap from a C program

Hello,

I have written a C programme (called send_trap.c), which calls the
send_enterprise_trap_vars  API.

If I include the following lines in my programme:
init_agent("myTestAgent")
init_snmp("myTestAgent")

=> then it works: the trap is sent

If I don't
=> then the trap is not sent.


So my questions are:

- why is it needed to do those init ?
- does it create a sub-agent which lives during the execution of my
programme ?
- if so, how does this sub-agent communicate with the master agent ?

regards
Sebastien
