LNK APIs
The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.
- Link programming interface overview
  The Link programming interface is an object-oriented approach that enables applications to invoke HCL Link maps, thus removing reliance on command lines.
- C API
  The C API enables applications to invoke maps and to develop adapters to use with HCL Link.
  - C API interface methods overview
    The map, card, and adapter object properties define the properties that can be set for each object. Use the C API interface methods to GET or SET the adapter object properties.
  - Object methods
    - C API map object methods overview
      The following methods are supported by the C API map object.
    - C API card object methods overview
      The following methods are supported by the C API card object.
    - Adapter object methods
      The following methods are supported by the adapter objects.
      - mpiAdaptGetCardObject
        The C API uses different adapter object methods, including mpiAdaptGetCardObject.
      - mpiAdaptGetInputStreamObject
        The C API uses different adapter object methods, including mpiAdaptGetInputStreamObject.
      - mpiAdaptGetOutputStreamObject

  - Loading, running, and controlling maps
    There are various methods you can use to load, run, and control maps when you use APIs with HCL Link.
  - Custom adapters
    The custom adapters interface makes it possible for users to develop adapters with as much functionality as those provided with the product.
- Python API
  Use the Python API to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Python program. For details, see the documentation installed in install_dir/python/api/hip/docs/html/index.html. Examples of the Python API are installed in install_dir/python/api/examples. Documentation for the Python API examples is available in install_dir/python/api/docs/html/examples.html.
- Java API
  The Java API interfaces enable you to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Java™ program.
- Java Tools
  The Java™ Tools provide objects and JNI utilities that you can use to get information about your map instances.
