HardView_SDK-1.0

HardView Temperature SDK-1.0

The HardView Temperature SDK-1.0 is a package that provides .dll libraries to monitor temperatures from any programming language that supports importing C functions (almost all popular languages).

Contents

dependencies

• LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll
  The core library for retrieving temperatures and sensors.
  Project Link

• HidSharp.dll
  A library required by LibreHardwareMonitorlib. Not directly used by HardView.
  Project Link

---

• HardwareWrapper.dll
  A library written in C++/CLI. Source: GitHub
  Provides an easy extern "C" interface to access temperatures and sensors from LibreHardwareMonitorlib.

• HardwareTemp.dll
  An additional wrapper for HardwareWrapper.dll, which you will load and use directly in your project. You can use HardwareWrapper.dll directly if you want, but HardwareTemp.dll is recommended.
  See README.md or SDK-Examples/* in the HardView GitHub project for usage.

• HardwareTemp.h
  You can include and use it directly in C/C++ instead of LoadLibrary for HardwareTemp.dll.

• licenses/
  Contains licenses for dependency libraries:
  -LibreHardwareMonitorlib : MPL-2.0

  • HidSharp: Apache 2.0
