geokernel-sys

Low-level Rust bindings for the GeoKernel native C ABI. The crate loads the GeoKernel shared library at runtime; install the matching GeoKernel SDK runtime for your platform before opening a library.

This crate is the unsafe FFI layer. Applications should normally depend on geokernel instead.

globe::GlobeApi loads all 56 exports from GeoKernel.Globe.dll or libGeoKernel.Globe.so. It uses UTF-8 buffers, u64 handles/jobs and usize native parent IDs; these differ from the legacy Viewer's wide-string ABI. GeoKernelGlobeOptions and GeoKernelGlobeCamera are repr(C) structs whose size/version fields must be initialized on both input and output calls. All GUI operations require the process main thread. Follow GlobeInterop.h for pointer, capacity, parent ownership and teardown rules. Modules remain resident after loading. Released SDK 1.5.34 does not provide this Globe ABI.
