1. Create a connector instance

unsigned int port = 6565;

Connector c(port);

2. Establish a connection and start a new search tree

/// Establishes a socket connection using the port specified above
c.connect();

/// Tells the profiler to start a new tree
c.restart("example");

/// Also used in case of a restart with restart id specified
c.restart("example", 1);

3. Send data every time the solver branches/fails/finds a solution

/// Create a node on a stack with mandatory fields
Node node = c.createNode(node_id, parent_id, alt, kids, status);

// Specify optional fields (whichever available)
node.set_label("b");

// Send the node
c.sendNode(node);

Or all in one line:

c.createNode(node_id, parent_id, alt, kids, status).set_label("b").send();

The parameters are:

field	type	description
node_id	int	current node's identifier
parent_id	int	identifier of node's parent
alt	int	which of its siblings the node is (0 for the left-most)
kids	int	number of children
status	Profiling::NodeStatus	determines the node's type (solution, failure, branching etc)
label	std::string	some text-based information to go along with the node (ie branching decision

4. Finish the tree and release the socket

c.done();
c.disconnect();
