The C/C++ APIs

THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF THE C/C++ APIS AVAILABLE FOR THE WINDOWS AND LINUX PLATFORMS.

OR DETAILS ON USING THE API WITH A SPECIFIC OS PLATFORM, CONSULT THE CORRESPONDING PLATFORM

UIDE.

Detailed documentation for the API is contained in the header files. You can simply read the header files or you can

view the Doxygen files. Consult the platform guide for details of where the Doxygen files are located.

The API is thread-safe.

DP Capture API

The DP Capture API consists of library management, reader management, capturing and streaming.

Library Management

Function Description

dpfpdd_init Initialize the library (allocate system resources and initialize data). This

must be the first function called.

dpfpdd_exit Release the library and its resources.

dpfpdd_version Query the library version. This is the only function that can be called

before dpfpdd_init or after dpfpdd_exit.

This returns the DP Capture API library version (not the U.are.U SDK

version). This is analogous to the dpfj_version function which returns the

version of the FingerJet library file.
