Initialization
From Lazarus wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchInitialization is the process by which an application sets the value of various internal variables, structures, tables, and other constructs which are used by the run-time library, or the operating system.
Initialization and startup are two very similar practices, with the difference being that initialization is presumed to be the setting of values and data which are used by the run-time library, while startup is the same actions perfomed upon the application program itself.
