Simple example

#include "irbis.h"

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#pragma comment (lib, "irbis.lib") // autolink hack

int main()
{
    std::wcout.imbue ( std::locale ("") ); // for cyrillic output

    irbis::Connection connection;
    connection.host = L"192.168.1.35";
    connection.port = 6666;
    connection.username = L"librarian";
    connection.password = L"secret";

    const auto isConnected = connection.connect();
    std::wcout << L"connected: " << isConnected << std::endl;
    if (!isConnected) {
        return -1;
    }

    const auto version = connection.getServerVersion();
    std::wcout << L"Version: " << version.version << std::endl;

    const auto maxMfn = connection.getMaxMfn (L"IBIS");
    std::wcout << L"max MFN: " << maxMfn << std::endl;

    const auto formatted = connection.formatRecord (L"@brief", 1);
    std::wcout << L"FORMAT: " << formatted << std::endl;

    const auto record = connection.readRecord (1);
    std::wcout << L"READ: "  << record.fm (200, 'a') << std::endl;

    irbis::MfnList found = connection.search (L"K=alg$");
    std::wcout << L"SEARCH:";
    for (auto mfn : found) {
        std::wcout << L" " << mfn;
    }
    std::wcout << std::endl;
