Function Documentation

ic4_exit_library()

void ic4_exit_library

(

)

Un-initializes the library.

Every successful call to ic4_init_library should be balanced by a matching call to ic4_exit_library before unloading the library DLL.

ic4_get_version_info()

bool ic4_get_version_info	(	char *	str,
		size_t *	size,
		enum IC4_VERSION_INFO_FLAGS	flags
	)

Retrieve version information description string.

Parameters

[out]	str	Pointer to a character array to receive an error message.
[in,out]	size	Size of str buffer
[in]	flags	What version information to retrieve

Returns

true on success

ic4_init_library()

bool ic4_init_library

(

const struct IC4_INIT_CONFIG *

init_config

)

Initializes the IC Imaging Control 4 C Library.

ic4_init_library must be called before any other library function.

Parameters

init_config

A structure configuring library settings, e.g. the log level.

Returns

true on success, otherwise false.
