CScript API Reference

Sambar Server Documentation

CScript API Reference

This document, the CScript API Reference, contains information on how to write an application using the CScript Application Programming Interface (API). Important! The CScript engine can be utilized independently of the Sambar Server as long as a Sambar Server Pro license is purchased for each CScript deployment.

Audience

The CScript API Reference is written for programmers familiar with the C programming language.

Public Header File

The cspublic.h file must be included in any DLL used by the CScript Engine.

Thread-safe APIs

The Sambar Server has a multithreaded architecture, with the server acting as a collection of threads, each executing functions to accomplish its specific task(s). To run well within this environment, all CScript interfaces and extensions must be thread-safe (allowing them to be called simultaneously for unique client connections). This allows the server to simultaneously support multiple applications - all calling the same APIs and extensions - and maintain the integrity of each application's context. This places a burden on the software developer to ensure that all extensions to the CScript interface are thread-aware.
