Appendix B C API Code Samples

C API Code Samples

This Appendix provides simple, sample code for use as examples that can also be used as a starting point for creating your own application. All examples use an Understand for C++ database. API usage with other Understand databases/languages is similar.

The following sections show each different example as a separate function within a larger module. The first section shows the common elements within a "main" function, from which any of the other example functions could be called.

Each example shows the C code, an explanation of the code, and sample output produced by the code.

This chapter contains the following:
Section Page
Open Database and Get All Entities

Report Cyclomatic Complexity of Functions
Report Functions with their Parameters and Types
Report Global Objects
Report Project Metrics
