title: Using MariaDB in C
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a MariaDB database in a C script and I can't find the necessary documentation. I installed libmariadbclient-dev, but I couldn't find any accompanying documentation such as a man page. There's a basic description and limited documentation <a href="https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-client-library-for-c/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, but the documentation only includes descriptions of functions. The fact is, despite having scoured all sorts of Google results, I don't even know what to import to get this to work, much less how to use it. Is there any guide or documentation on how to use a MariaDB database in C?</p>
