C SDK#

The C ABI (net.h) is the smallest, most explicit binding. It exposes the event bus — ingest and poll — with manual memory management, and it's what you use to embed Net in a C/C++ program or bind a language that isn't one of the first-class SDKs.

# build the shared library + bundle the header
cargo build --release --features ffi,net
# then link against the cdylib and include net.h

Scope (stated plainly)#

The C ABI covers the bus (net_init, net_ingest_raw, net_poll_ex, net_shutdown) plus keypair and dedup helpers. The higher-level agentic mesh surface — capability announce/discover, tools, nRPC invoke, blob transfer — is not exposed in the C ABI. For that loop, use one of the fuller bindings (Rust, TypeScript, Python, Go), or drive the mesh from C by shelling out to the net-mesh CLI (CLI Reference).

So the C spine is two pages, not seven — pretending otherwise would be fiction:

1. Quickstart — ingest and poll, with memory rules.
2. Errors — return codes and ownership.
