Libartefact is a client library that can be used to connect to the Artefact data server, for data retrieval and insertion.
The library takes care of http communication, encryption/decryption (optionally), XML translations and error handling. It is intended as a complete interface to the communication possibilities with the Artefact server.

// ... here should be some code that allocates handle and does something useful ...
 
atf_error_t err = atf_get_last_error(handle);
 
if(err != ATF_NO_ERROR) {
  char buf[512];
  printf("Error: %s\n", atf_get_error_string(err, buf, sizeof(buf));
}
