The LNK programming interface includes language-specific methods and objects that provide common functionality across multiple environments.
The Link programming interface is an object-oriented approach that enables applications to invoke HCL Link maps, thus removing reliance on command lines.
The Link programming interface map, card, and adapter object properties define the properties that can be set for each object. Use these methods to GET or SET the object properties.
This method sets the specified binary property on the object.
Retrieves all object properties in XML document.
This method gets a pointer to the specified binary property of the object. The data is not copied by this method.
This method returns the number of defined property values.
This method gets the specified integral property of the object.
This method gets a pointer to the specified text property of the object. The data is not copied by this method.
Retrieves requested property values as an XML document. Properties are specified in the form of an XML document.
This method sets the specified integral property on the object.
This method sets the specified text property on the object.
Sets properties specified in XML document. Properties are specified in the form of an XML document.
The Link programming interface is based on map, card, adapter, connection, and stream objects.
Use the Link programming interface to load, run and control maps.
The C API enables applications to invoke maps and to develop adapters to use with HCL Link.
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.
The Java API interfaces enable you to create, edit, and run maps and schemas from a Java™ program.
The Java™ Tools provide objects and JNI utilities that you can use to get information about your map instances.
