Using Windows and UNIX APIs › API Header Files

API Header Files

Programs using the API functions require these header files:

• eapidef.h - API function definition header file
• encyapi.h - API variable type definitions

These header files provide mnemonic definitions for object, property, and association type codes.

• atc.h - association type code mnemonics
• otc.h - object type code mnemonics
• ptc.h - property type code mnemonics

The same set of header files is installed for the read-only and Update APIs. These header files include definitions for the Update API even when the libraries for the Update API are not installed. If you attempt to use the update functions without installing the Update API, your programs will compile successfully, but will not link or load successfully.

Programs created with the Encyclopedia API require the developer libraries supplied with your database.
