+** deallocates any resources that were allocated by sqlite3_initialize().
+**
+** A call to sqlite3_initialize() is an "effective" call if it is
+** the first time sqlite3_initialize() is invoked during the lifetime of
+** the process, or if it is the first time sqlite3_initialize() is invoked
+** following a call to sqlite3_shutdown().  Only an effective call
+** of sqlite3_initialize() does any initialization.  All other calls
+** are harmless no-ops.
+**
+** Among other things, sqlite3_initialize() shall invoke
+** sqlite3_os_init().  Similarly, sqlite3_shutdown()
+** shall invoke sqlite3_os_end().
+**
+** The sqlite3_initialize() routine returns SQLITE_OK on success.
+** If for some reason, sqlite3_initialize() is unable to initialize
+** the library (perhaps it is unable to allocate a needed resource such
+** as a mutex) it returns an [error code] other than SQLITE_OK.
+**
+** The sqlite3_initialize() routine is called internally by many other
+** SQLite interfaces so that an application usually does not need to
+** invoke sqlite3_initialize() directly.  For example, [sqlite3_open()]
+** calls sqlite3_initialize() so the SQLite library will be automatically
+** initialized when [sqlite3_open()] is called if it has not be initialized
+** already.  However, if SQLite is compiled with the SQLITE_OMIT_AUTOINIT
+** compile-time option, then the automatic calls to sqlite3_initialize()
+** are omitted and the application must call sqlite3_initialize() directly
+** prior to using any other SQLite interface.  For maximum portability,
+** it is recommended that applications always invoke sqlite3_initialize()
+** directly prior to using any other SQLite interface.  Future releases
+** of SQLite may require this.  In other words, the behavior exhibited
+** when SQLite is compiled with SQLITE_OMIT_AUTOINIT might become the
+** default behavior in some future release of SQLite.
+**
+** The sqlite3_os_init() routine does operating-system specific
+** initialization of the SQLite library.  The sqlite3_os_end()
+** routine undoes the effect of sqlite3_os_init().  Typical tasks

+** of static resources, initialization of global variables,
+** setting up a default [sqlite3_vfs] module, or setting up
+** a default configuration using [sqlite3_config()].
+**
+** The application should never invoke either sqlite3_os_init()
+** or sqlite3_os_end() directly.  The application should only invoke
+** sqlite3_initialize() and sqlite3_shutdown().  The sqlite3_os_init()
+** interface is called automatically by sqlite3_initialize() and

+** CAPI3REF: SQLite Runtime Status {F17200}
+**
+** This interface is used to retrieve runtime status information
+** about the preformance of SQLite, and optionally to reset various
+** highwater marks.  The first argument is an integer code for
+** the specific parameter to measure.  Recognized integer codes
+** are of the form [SQLITE_STATUS_MEMORY_USED | SQLITE_STATUS_...].
+** The current value of the parameter is returned into *pCurrent.
+** The highest recorded value is returned in *pHighwater.  If the
+** resetFlag is true, then the highest record value is reset after
+** *pHighwater is written. Some parameters do not record the highest
+** value.  For those parameters
+** nothing is written into *pHighwater and the resetFlag is ignored.
+** Other parameters record only the highwater mark and not the current
+** value.  For these latter parameters nothing is written into *pCurrent.
+**
+** This routine returns SQLITE_OK on success and a non-zero
+** [error code] on failure.
+**
+** This routine is threadsafe but is not atomic.  This routine can
+** called while other threads are running the same or different SQLite
+** interfaces.  However the values returned in *pCurrent and
+** *pHighwater reflect the status of SQLite at different points in time
+** and it is possible that another thread might change the parameter
+** in between the times when *pCurrent and *pHighwater are written.
+**
+** This interface is experimental and is subject to change or
+** removal in future releases of SQLite.

+**
+** <dl>
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_MEMORY_USED</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter is the current amount of memory checked out
+** using [sqlite3_malloc()], either directly or indirectly.  The
+** figure includes calls made to [sqlite3_malloc()] by the application
+** and internal memory usage by the SQLite library.  Scratch memory
+** controlled by [SQLITE_CONFIG_SCRATCH] and auxiliary page-cache
+** memory controlled by [SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE] is not included in
+** this parameter.  The amount returned is the sum of the allocation
+** sizes as reported by the xSize method in [sqlite3_mem_methods].</dd>
+**
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_PAGECACHE_USED</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter returns the number of pages used out of the
+** page cache buffer configured using [SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE].  The
+** value returned is in pages, not in bytes.</dd>
+**
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_PAGECACHE_OVERFLOW</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter returns the number of bytes of page cache
+** allocation which could not be statisfied by the [SQLITE_CONFIG_PAGECACHE]
+** buffer and where forced to overflow to [sqlite3_malloc()].</dd>
+**
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_SCRATCH_USED</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter returns the number of allocations used out of the
+** scratch allocation lookaside buffer configured using
+** [SQLITE_CONFIG_SCRATCH].  The value returned is in allocations, not
+** in bytes.  Since a single thread may only have one allocation
+** outstanding at time, this parameter also reports the number of threads
+** using scratch memory at the same time.</dd>
+**
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_SCRATCH_OVERFLOW</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter returns the number of bytes of scratch memory
+** allocation which could not be statisfied by the [SQLITE_CONFIG_SCRATCH]
+** buffer and where forced to overflow to [sqlite3_malloc()].</dd>
+**
+** <dt>SQLITE_STATUS_MALLOC_SIZE</dt>
+** <dd>This parameter records the largest memory allocation request
+** handed to [sqlite3_malloc()] or [sqlite3_realloc()] (or their
+** internal equivalents).  The value of interest is return in the
+** *pHighwater parameter to [sqlite3_status()].  The value written
+** into the *pCurrent parameter is undefined.</dd>
