=========
C/C++ API
=========
The libopenmc shared library that is built when installing OpenMC exports a
number of C interoperable functions and global variables that can be used for
in-memory coupling. While it is possible to directly use the C/C++ API as
documented here for coupling, most advanced users will find it easier to work
with the Python bindings in the :py:mod:`openmc.lib` module.
.. warning:: The C/C++ API is still experimental and may undergo substantial
changes in future releases.
----------------
Type Definitions
----------------
.. c:type:: Bank
Attributes of a source particle.
.. c:member:: double wgt
Weight of the particle
.. c:member:: double xyz[3]
Position of the particle (units of cm)
.. c:member:: double uvw[3]
Unit vector indicating direction of the particle
.. c:member:: double E
Energy of the particle in eV
.. c:member:: int delayed_group
If the particle is a delayed neutron, indicates which delayed precursor
group it was born from. If not a delayed neutron, this member is zero.
