OS Config API C++ Client Library

An idiomatic C++ client library for the OS Config API, a service for patch management, patch compliance, and configuration management on VM instances.

While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/osconfig/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the OS Config API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/osconfig/v1/os_config_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
 
if (argc != 2) {
    std
::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
   
return 1;
 
}

 
namespace osconfig = ::google::cloud::osconfig_v1;
 
auto client = osconfig::OsConfigServiceClient(
      osconfig
::MakeOsConfigServiceConnection());

 
auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);
 
for (auto p : client.ListPatchJobs(project.FullName())) {
   
if (!p) throw std::move(p).status();
    std
::cout << p->DebugString() << "\n";
 
}

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

Main classes

This library offers multiple *Client classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.

The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the *Client classes when testing your application.
