libpq is also the underlying engine for several otherPostgres Pro application interfaces, including those written for C++, Perl, Python, Tcl andECPG. So some aspects oflibpq's behavior will be important to you if you use one of those packages. In particular,Section 32.14,Section 32.15 andSection 32.18 describe behavior that is visible to the user of any application that useslibpq.
Some short programs are included at the end of this chapter (Section 32.21) to show how to write programs that uselibpq.
Client programs that uselibpq must include the header filelibpq-fe.h
and must link with thelibpq library.
