ADBC C API Specification#
In C, ADBC consists of a self-contained header. The header is reproduced in full here, and is intended to be self-documenting.
From apache/arrow-adbc commit f044edf5256abfb4c091b0ad2acc73afea2c93c0:
166/// \defgroup adbc-error-handling Error Handling
167/// ADBC uses integer error codes to signal errors. To provide more
168/// detail about errors, functions may also return an AdbcError via an
169/// optional out parameter, which can be inspected. If provided, it is
170/// the responsibility of the caller to zero-initialize the AdbcError
171/// value.

746/// Generally, these functions return an ArrowArrayStream that can be
747/// consumed to get the metadata as Arrow data. The returned metadata
748/// has an expected schema given in the function docstring. Schema
749/// fields are nullable unless otherwise marked. While no
750/// AdbcStatement is used in these functions, the result set may count
751/// as an active statement to the driver for the purposes of
752/// concurrency management (e.g. if the driver has a limit on
753/// concurrent active statements and it must execute a SQL query
754/// internally in order to implement the metadata function).
755///
756/// Some functions accept "search pattern" arguments, which are
757/// strings that can contain the special character "%" to match zero
758/// or more characters, or "_" to match exactly one character. (See
759/// the documentation of DatabaseMetaData in JDBC or "Pattern Value
