Chapter 1: Open Client Client-Library/C

Open Client Client-Library is a collection of routines you can use to write client applications. Client-Library includes routines that send commands to a server and other routines that process the results of those commands. Other routines set application properties, handle error conditions, and provide a variety of information about an application’s interaction with a server.

CS-Library, which is included with Open Client, is a collection of utility routines that you can use to write an Open Client application. All Client-Library applications include at least one call to CS-Library, because Client-Library routines use a structure that is allocated in CS-Library.

See the Software Developers Kit Release Bulletin for the current release for additional information about Open Client products and how they behave on your platform.

See the Open Server and SDK New Features for Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X for a list of operating system platforms where the Open Client Client-Library/C is available.
