# PDF library C interface binding

Using the Apryse C headers, you can bind the Apryse C library to other languages not directly supported by Apryse.

Apryse’s PDF SDK ships with a powerful C API to bring accurate, reliable, and fast document reading, writing, editing, and printing capabilities to commercial applications. Using the Apryse C headers, you can bind the Apryse C library to other languages not directly supported by Apryse. See [Server SDK get started guide](/core/get-started/get-started.md) for a list of supported languages and frameworks.

**C interface binding example**

This guide is a demo for using our C interface binding and is not a production version of the Go wrapper. Please visit our [Apryse SDK for Go](/core/get-started/languages/go.md) documentation for more information on using our production version of Go.

## Header basics

The Apryse SDK download package contains headers detailing the methods available in the C API which can be used as an interface for various other languages, including but not limited to Go, Rust and more. You can find these headers in the `PDFNetC(64)/Headers/C` directory. Importing these headers into your project will allow you to use the Apryse API, but the method of importing the library differs from language to language.

## Memory ownership

Responsibility for creating or deallocating certain variables or chunks of memory depends on the function. The best way to learn about this is to look at:

1. Function documentation
2. The implementation in the C++ wrapper
3. The C wrapper headers

All of these are contained in the `Headers` folder of the package.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/core/get-started/languages/c-interface-binding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
