An idiomatic C++ client library for theCloud Storage Control API, a service to Lets you store and retrieve potentially-large, immutable data objects.
This library isexperimental. Its APIs are subject to change without notice.
Please, note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries donotfollowSemantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/storagecontrol/quickstart/directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Storage Control API C++ client library API.

Its APIs are subject to change without notice.\n\nPlease, note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do **not** follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).\n\n### Quickstart\n\nThe following shows the code that you'll run in the `google/cloud/storagecontrol/quickstart/` directory, which should give you a taste of the Cloud Storage Control API C++ client library API. \n\n #include \"google/cloud/storagecontrol/v2/storage_control_client.h\"\n #include \u003ciostream\u003e\n\n int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {\n if (argc != 2) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"Usage: \" \u003c\u003c argv[0] \u003c\u003c \" bucket-id\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n std::string const bucket_name = std::string{\"projects/_/buckets/\"} + argv[1];\n\n namespace storagecontrol = ::google::cloud::storagecontrol_v2;\n auto client = storagecontrol::StorageControlClient(\n storagecontrol::MakeStorageControlConnection());\n\n for (auto r : client.ListFolders(bucket_name)) {\n if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();\n std::cout \u003c\u003c r-\u003eDebugString() \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n }\n\n return 0;\n } catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"google::cloud::Status thrown: \" \u003c\u003c status \u003c\u003c \"\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n### Main classes\n\nThe main class in this library is [`storagecontrol_v2::StorageControlClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1storagecontrol__v2_1_1StorageControlClient). All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock [`storagecontrol_v2::StorageControlClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1storagecontrol__v2_1_1StorageControlClient) when testing your application.\n\n### More Information\n\n- [Error Handling](https://cloud.google.com/cpp/docs/reference/common/latest/common-error-handling.html) - describes how the library reports errors.\n- [How to Override the Default Endpoint](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/storagecontrol-override-endpoint) - describes how to override the default endpoint.\n- [How to Override the Authentication Credentials](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/storagecontrol-override-authentication) - describes how to change the authentication credentials used by the library.\n- [Override Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/storagecontrol-override-retry) - describes how to change the default retry policies.\n- [Environment Variables](/cpp/docs/reference/storagecontrol/2.22.1/storagecontrol-env) - describes environment variables that can configure the behavior of the library."]]
