Make sure TDengine library _libtaos.so_ is installed and use _-ltaos_ option to link the library when compiling. In most cases, if the return value of an API is integer, it return _0_ for success and other values as an error code for failure; if the return value is pointer, then _NULL_ is used for failure.

### C/C++ parameter binding API
TDengine also provides parameter binding APIs, like MySQL, only question mark `?` can be used to represent a parameter in these APIs.
- `TAOS_STMT* taos_stmt_init(TAOS *taos)`
Create a TAOS_STMT to represent the prepared statement for other APIs.
- `int taos_stmt_prepare(TAOS_STMT *stmt, const char *sql, unsigned long length)`
Parse SQL statement _sql_ and bind result to _stmt_ , if _length_ larger than 0, its value is used to determine the length of _sql_, the API auto detects the actual length of _sql_ otherwise.
Bind values to parameters. _bind_ points to an array, the element count and sequence of the array must be identical as the parameters of the SQL statement. The usage of _TAOS_BIND_ is same as _MYSQL_BIND_ in MySQL, its definition is as below:
```c
typedef struct TAOS_BIND {
int buffer_type;
void * buffer;
unsigned long buffer_length; // not used in TDengine
unsigned long *length;
int * is_null;
int is_unsigned; // not used in TDengine
int * error; // not used in TDengine
} TAOS_BIND;
```
- `int taos_stmt_add_batch(TAOS_STMT *stmt)`
Add bound parameters to batch, client can call `taos_stmt_bind_param` again after calling this API. Note this API only support _insert_ / _import_ statements, it returns an error in other cases.
- `int taos_stmt_execute(TAOS_STMT *stmt)`
Execute the prepared statement. This API can only be called once for a statement at present.
Acquire the result set of an executed statement. The usage of the result is same as `taos_use_result`, `taos_free_result` must be called after one you are done with the result set to release resources.
- `int taos_stmt_close(TAOS_STMT *stmt)`
Close the statement, release all resources.
### C/C++ async API
### C/C++ async API
In addition to sync APIs, TDengine also provides async APIs, which are more efficient. Async APIs are returned right away without waiting for a response from the server, allowing the application to continute with other tasks without blocking. So async APIs are more efficient, especially useful when in a poor network.
