Additional comment, if the function is supposed to be called multiple
times during the liftetime of the process (couldn't say since the code
is not a complete program..), you'd want to get rid of the global init
and cleanup in the function and put them at the start of the program
and before exiting. It is not supposed to be done for each transfer.
