ESET CLI C++ API for Linux

[CSanchezAustin 0]

in case anyone is interested, I translated the example Windows cli wrapper for the ESET API to Linux.

 

Compile and runs as follows. Note: All 3 shared libraries need to be in the same directory as the executable that get created. Limitation on how ESET created their shared libraries.

g++ -c -g -o esetapi_cli.o esetapi_cli.cpp && g++ esetapi_cli.o -L/usr/local/lib  -ldl -o esetapi

Source: esetapi_cli.cpp

#include <string>
