## Use C++ in ROCm SMI

### Device Indices

Many of the functions in the library take a "device index". The device index is a number greater than or equal to 0, and less than the number of devices detected, as determined by `rsmi_num_monitor_devices()`. The index is used to distinguish the detected devices from one another. It is important to note that a device may end up with a different index after a reboot, so an index should not be relied upon to be constant over reboots.

## Hello ROCm SMI

The only required ROCm-SMI call for any program that wants to use ROCm-SMI is the `rsmi_init()` call. This call initializes some internal data structures that will be used by subsequent ROCm-SMI calls.

When ROCm-SMI is no longer being used, `rsmi_shut_down()` should be called. This provides a way to do any releasing of resources that ROCm-SMI may have held. In many cases, this may have no effect, but may be necessary in future versions of the library.

A simple "Hello World" type program that displays the device ID of detected devices would look like this:

```c
#include
#include "rocm_smi/rocm_smi.h"
int main() {
rsmi_status_t ret;
uint32_t num_devices;
uint16_t dev_id;

// We will skip return code checks for this example, but it
// is recommended to always check this as some calls may not
// apply for some devices or ROCm releases

ret = rsmi_init(0);
ret = rsmi_num_monitor_devices(&num_devices);

for (int i=0; i < num_devices; ++i) {
ret = rsmi_dev_id_get(i, &dev_id);
// dev_id holds the device ID of device i, upon a
// successful call
}
ret = rsmi_shut_down();
return 0;
}
```
