Using the C/C++ API

This section provides details about using the SDK with the C/C++ API.

Part II contains the following chapters:

• Windows Implementation Details

• UNIX Implementation Details

• Data Access Common Functions

• Export Functions

• Redirected IO

• Search Export C/C++ Options

Windows Implementation Details
This chapter describes the implementation of the Search Export SDK on the Windows platform. The Windows implementation of this software is delivered as a set of DLLs.

UNIX Implementation Details
This chapter describes the implementation of the Search Export SDK on the UNIX platform. The UNIX implementation of the Export product set is delivered as a set of shared libraries.

Data Access Common Functions
This chapter describes common Data Access functions. The Data Access module is common to all Oracle Outside In technologies. It provides a way to open a generic handle to a source file. This handle can then be used in the functions described in this chapter.

Export Functions
This chapter outlines the basic functions used to initiate the conversion of documents using the Search Export SDK.

Redirected IO
This chapter describes the use of Redirected IO. Anywhere a file specification (dwSpecType and pSpec parameters) is passed to a function in the product, the developer may use Redirected IO to completely take over responsibility for the low level IO calls of that particular file. The source file and all output files can be redirected in this way.

Search Export C/C++ Options
Options are parameters affecting the behavior of an export or transformation. This chapter presents the C/C++ options relevant to the Search Export product.
