53<h1>C-Language Wrappers</h1>
54<h2>Description</h2>
55    <div class="section">
56<p>The CTR-SDK APIs are mostly written in C++. C++ APIs cannot be called directly from C-language files.</p><p>The CTR-SDK therefore provides wrappers that allow you to call the C++ APIs from C source files.</p>
57    </div>
58<h3>Mutex Example</h3>
59<div class="section"><p>In C++, you would use the <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/Overview.html"><CODE>nn::os::Mutex</CODE></a> class to use mutexes. The mutex class maintains mutex objects internally.</p><p>The names of the wrappers that allow this class to be used in C begin with <CODE>nnosMutex</CODE>, as shown in the examples below. These functions have a 1:1 correspondence with the C++ methods.</p><p><itemizedlist><listitem><para><a href="../nn_os_Mutex_c/nnosMutexInitialize.html">nnosMutexInitialize</a> → <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/Initialize.html">nn::os::Mutex::Initialize</a><br /></para></listitem><listitem><para><a href="../nn_os_Mutex_c/nnosMutexLock.html">nnosMutexLock</a> → <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/Lock.html">nn::os::Mutex::Lock</a><br /></para></listitem><listitem><para><a href="../nn_os_Mutex_c/nnosMutexTryLock.html">nnosMutexTryLock</a> → <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/TryLock.html">nn::os::Mutex::TryLock</a><br /></para></listitem><listitem><para><a href="../nn_os_Mutex_c/nnosMutexUnlock.html">nnosMutexUnlock</a> → <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/Unlock.html">nn::os::Mutex::Unlock</a><br /></para></listitem><listitem><para><a href="../nn_os_Mutex_c/nnosMutexInitialize.html">nnosMutexInitialize</a> → <a href="../nn/os/Mutex/Initialize.html">nn::os::Mutex::Initialize</a><br /></para></listitem></itemizedlist> To learn details about the C wrapper functions, see the explanations for the corresponding class methods.</p><p>The <a href="../nnosMutex/Overview.html"><CODE>nnosMutex</CODE></a> structure, the data type that stores mutex objects in C, is an exception. This structure is actually a class instance under the hood, so it cannot be referenced directly from the C language.</p></div>
