# VMware Engine API C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the
[VMware Engine API][cloud-service-docs], a service to programmatically
manage VMware environments.

While this library is **GA**, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client
libraries do **not** follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

## Quickstart

The [quickstart/](quickstart/README.md) directory contains a minimal environment
to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following
"Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of
this library.

For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the
top-level [README](/README.md#building-and-installing).

```cc
#include "google/cloud/vmwareengine/v1/vmware_engine_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace vmwareengine = ::google::cloud::vmwareengine_v1;
  auto client = vmwareengine::VmwareEngineClient(
      vmwareengine::MakeVmwareEngineConnection());

  auto const parent =
      std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
  for (auto c : client.ListPrivateClouds(parent)) {
    if (!c) throw std::move(c).status();
    std::cout << c->DebugString() << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}
```
