powerful. fast. easy.

Your C applications require the utmost in performance and reliability. Use the AMPS C/C++ Client to handcraft applications and libraries in C with blistering performance and rock-solid reliability. The AMPS C/C++ Client allows you to call the same low-level AMPS primitives used by our C++ client. Here's an example to get you started:

Example 1: Connect and Subscribe

Allocate and connect an AMPS client handle with just a few function calls:

#include <amps.h>
#include <stdio.h>
     void displayError(amps_handle client)
     {
       char textBuffer[512];
       amps_client_get_error(client, textBuffer, sizeof(textBuffer));
       printf("error from AMPS: %s\n", textBuffer);
     }
 
     amps_result receiveMessage(amps_handle message, void* userdata)
     {
       amps_char* data;
       size_t len;
       amps_message_get_data(message, &data, &len);
       fwrite(data, 1, len, stdout);
       fwrite("\n", 1, 1, stdout);
       return AMPS_E_OK;
     }
 
     int main()
     {
       amps_handle client, m;
       const char* uri="tcp://localhost:9004/nvfix";
 
       client = amps_client_create("myApp");
       if(amps_client_connect(client, uri) != AMPS_E_OK) {
         displayError(client);
         return -1;
       }
       m = amps_message_create(client);
       amps_message_set_field_value_nts(m, AMPS_QueryID, "1");
       amps_message_set_field_value_nts(m, AMPS_CommandId, "1");
       amps_message_set_field_value_nts(m, AMPS_Command,
         "subscribe");
       amps_message_set_field_value_nts(m, AMPS_Topic, "orders");
       amps_message_set_field_value_nts(m, AMPS_Filter,
         "/symbol LIKE 'ABCD'");
       amps_client_set_message_handler(client, receiveMessage, NULL);
 
       amps_client_send(client, m);
 
       sleep(10);
       return 0;
     }

In this example, we connect to AMPS and build an AMPS message to subscribe to the "orders" topic. Messages are filtered on the server: we're only sent messages whose "symbol" field contains "ABCD". We set our "receiveMessage" function to receive messages from the server as they arrive and write their data to stdout. If any errors occur while connecting, they're written to stdout as well.
