COM API overview

The COM API enables applications to invoke maps remotely.

This API provides interfaces for running and controlling maps. It provides additional functionality, masks the need for visible structures, and removes the need to construct command lines.

The COM API is based on Map, Card, Adapter, and Stream objects. Card, Adapter, and Stream objects are used for source and target overrides.

Adapter objects interface with the adapter API. Stream objects eliminate the need for large, contiguous, memory buffers for passing data directly to a map object.
