Library\n==========================================\n\nAn idiomatic C++ client library for the [Bare Metal Solution API](https://cloud.google.com/bare-metal), a service that provides ways to manage Bare Metal Solution hardware installed in a regional extension located near a Google Cloud data center.\n\nWhile this library is **GA** , please note 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/baremetalsolution/quickstart/` directory, which should give you a taste of the Bare Metal Solution API C++ client library API. \n\n #include \"google/cloud/baremetalsolution/v2/bare_metal_solution_client.h\"\n #include \"google/cloud/location.h\"\n #include \u003ciostream\u003e\n\n int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {\n if (argc != 3) {\n std::cerr \u003c\u003c \"Usage: \" \u003c\u003c argv[0] \u003c\u003c \" project-id location-id\\n\";\n return 1;\n }\n\n auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], argv[2]);\n\n namespace bms = ::google::cloud::baremetalsolution_v2;\n auto client =\n bms::BareMetalSolutionClient(bms::MakeBareMetalSolutionConnection());\n\n for (auto i : client.ListInstances(location.FullName())) {\n if (!i) throw std::move(i).status();\n std::cout \u003c\u003c i-\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 [`baremetalsolution_v2::BareMetalSolutionClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1baremetalsolution__v2_1_1BareMetalSolutionClient). All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock [`baremetalsolution_v2::BareMetalSolutionClient`](/cpp/docs/reference/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/classgoogle_1_1cloud_1_1baremetalsolution__v2_1_1BareMetalSolutionClient) 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/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/baremetalsolution-override-endpoint) - describes how to override the default endpoint.\n- [How to Override the Authentication Credentials](/cpp/docs/reference/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/baremetalsolution-override-authentication) - describes how to change the authentication credentials used by the library.\n- [Override Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies](/cpp/docs/reference/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/baremetalsolution-override-retry) - describes how to change the default retry policies.\n- [Environment Variables](/cpp/docs/reference/baremetalsolution/2.17.0/baremetalsolution-env) - describes environment variables that can configure the behavior of the library."]]
