# Installer DLL API Reference Function
This section describes the syntax of the functions in the installer DLL API. The installer DLL API consists of 20 functions. Three of these functions, **SQLGetTranslator**, **SQLRemoveDSNFromIni**, and **SQLWriteDSNToIni**, are called only by setup DLLs. The other functions are called by the setup and administration programs.  
  
 Each function is labeled with the version of ODBC in which it was introduced.  
  
 This section contains the following topics.
