```

## Parameters

- `allocator`: The allocator that should be used to allocate memory for the local dynamic store object. This parameter may be NULL in which case the current default allocator is used.

- `callout`: The function to be called when a watched value in the dynamic store is changed. Pass NULL if no callouts are desired.
