Initialization

Before using libfeedback, it must be initialized. To use the library call lfb_init()() with the id of your application (usually the desktop file name without the .desktop extension). For that you include the libfeedback.h header. Since the API is considered unstable at this point in time you need to acknowledge this by definining LIBFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API:

  #define LIBFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API
  #include <libfeedback.h>

  int main(void)
  {
     g_autoptr (GError) *err = NULL;
     if (lfb_init ("com.example.appid", &err)) {
       g_error ("%s", err->message);
     }
     ...
     lfb_uninit ();
     return 0;
  }

You can also acknowledge this with the definition option of your C compiler, like -DFEEDBACK_USE_UNSTABLE_API.

After initializing the library you can trigger feedback using LfbEvent objects. When your application finishes call lfb_uninit()() to free any resources:
