Note for the moment, the interfaces defined here are experimental and may change in the future. Eventually they will stabilse and this notice will be removed.

C

The shims are a thin wrapper over the rclone RPC.

Build a shared library like this:

go build --buildmode=c-shared -o librclone.so github.com/rclone/rclone/librclone

Build a static library like this:

go build --buildmode=c-archive -o librclone.a github.com/rclone/rclone/librclone

Both the above commands will also generate librclone.h which should be #included in C programs wishing to use the library.

The library will depend on libdl and libpthread.

Documentation

For documentation see the Go documentation for:

C Example

There is an example program ctest.c with Makefile in the ctest subdirectory

gomobile

The gomobile subdirectory contains the equivalent of the C binding but suitable for using with gomobile using something like this.

gomobile bind -v -target=android github.com/rclone/rclone/librclone/gomobile

python

The python subdirectory contains a simple python wrapper for the C API using rclone linked as a shared library.

This needs expanding and submitting to pypi...
