<concept id="GUID-6E4CAA18-635E-5476-8CE4-DCA69C05CC07" xml:lang="en"><title>HybridApp: Demonstrating P.I.P.S. Hybrid Applications</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>This example shows how to develop P.I.P.S. hybrid applications.
The example uses both pure C and native Symbian C++ APIs. </p>

<section id="GUID-EDB901A4-0601-442C-8B2D-1FAF7822CFD6"><title>Description</title> <p>This example displays the memory information of all available
drives of the system. As P.I.P.S. APIs cannot be used to access these
drives, native Symbian C++ APIs are used. The <codeph>RFs::Drive()</codeph> and <codeph>RFs::Volume()</codeph> APIs are used to access the drives
and get their memory information. </p> <p>It displays the drive information
by using the standard Input/Output functions defined in P.I.P.S. libraries.
The <codeph>DescToChar()</codeph> function defined in the example
converts the native Symbian descriptor strings to C strings. As the
drive name is stored in a descriptor, the example uses this function
to convert it to a C string. </p> </section>

LIBRARY libc.lib
STATICLIBRARY libcrt0.lib</codeblock> <p> <b>Note:</b> You require
these statements because of the following reasons: </p> <ul>
<li id="GUID-90620295-032C-5057-9D1D-04064322C0A6"><p>The <filepath>epoc32\include\stdapis</filepath> directory contains header files
such as, <filepath>stdio.h</filepath>, <filepath>unistd.h</filepath> and so on that are required to build an Open Environment application. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-3CC12EEF-4472-5782-A1F0-81B576B99249"><p>The <filepath>libc.lib</filepath> file contains the definitions of all functions
that are defined in the header files associated with this example. </p> </li>
<li id="GUID-CADEFC9F-45F6-5E13-8336-6EC6457A102E"><p>The <filepath>libcrt0.lib</filepath> file provides the <codeph>E32Main()</codeph> function, which is the entry point for the <codeph>main()</codeph> function of the example. </p> </li>
</ul> <p>For the emulator, the example builds an executable
file called <filepath>hybridapp.exe</filepath> in the <filepath>epoc32\release\winscw\&lt;udeb
or urel&gt;\</filepath> directory. </p> </section>
