![]() libhomeradar is an easy to use library for all type of programming language which can use libraries. libhomeradar can connect to different sources to collect aircraft informations arround the world with extended informations, powerful filtering and structured data access. libhomeradar is written in C and is available for Linux and Windows (2003, XP, NT, Vista). Currently libhomeradar works with the Kinetic Avionics SBS-1 base station and the Airnav Systems Radarbox.

Predefined datatypesHere you'll see all in libhomeradar.h defined datatypes and structs. Main types are LHR_CONTACT and LHR_STATS. All other types will be used for special database lookups only.
