finite_shell_init

The finite_shell_init function creates a new FiniteShell.

FiniteShell *finite_shell_init(char *device)

Parameters

Type	Description
`char *device`	The Wayland device to conenct to. Defaults to “wayland-0”.

Code Example

#include <finite/draw.h>

FiniteShell *myShell = finite_shell_init("wayland-0");

if (!myShell) {
    FINITE_LOG_FATAL("Unable to init shell");
}

Standard Usage

When creating a new application, you must call this function. Although libfinite support custom implementations of some function, all libfinite functions that interact with the window expect a FiniteShell.

In production, you should use “wayland-0” as the Wayland Device.
