// * TF_Status holds error information.  It is an object type
//   and therefore is passed around as a pointer to an opaque
//   struct as mentioned above.
// * Every call that has a TF_Status* argument clears it on success
//   and fills it with error info on failure.
// * unsigned char is used for booleans (instead of the 'bool' type).
//   In C++ bool is a keyword while in C99 bool is a macro defined
//   in stdbool.h. It is possible for the two to be inconsistent.
