# Initialization
|
|
|
|
Before using libfeedback, it must be initialized. To use the library
|
|
call [func@Lfb.init]() with the id of your application (usually
|
|
the desktop file name without the .desktop extension). For that you
|
|
include the `libfeedback.h` header. Since the API is considered
|
|
unstable at this point in time you need to acknowledge this by
|
|
defining `LIBFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API`:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#define LIBFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API
|
|
#include <libfeedback.h>
|
|
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
g_autoptr (GError) *err = NULL;
|
|
if (lfb_init ("com.example.appid", &err)) {
|
|
g_error ("%s", err->message);
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
lfb_uninit ();
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also acknowledge this with the definition option of your C
|
|
compiler, like `-DFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API`.
|
|
|
|
After initializing the library you can trigger feedback using
|
|
[class@Lfb.Event] objects. When your application finishes call
|
|
[func@Lfb.uninit]() to free any resources:
