Getting Started

use simconnect_sys::*;

// open handle to SimConnect
let mut handle = std::ptr::null_mut();
let hr = unsafe { SimConnect_Open(
    &mut handle,
    CString::new("Example").as_ptr(),
    std::ptr::null_mut(),
    0,
    std::ptr::null_mut(),
    0,
) };
if hr != 0 || handle.is_null() {
    println!("SimConnect_Open failed");
}

See examples/sys-basic for a working example of using the FFI bindings for SimConnect.
