CIL Coding Conventions
This chapter discusses coding conventions used in the CTI OS Client Interface

available with the CIL, this chapter provides useful and practical explanation of
how to program with the CIL – the glue that brings everything together.

One of the design goals of the CTI OS CIL is to make programming as easy and
consistent as possible for client developers. As such, many design decisions about
the CIL interfaces were made in order to keep things simple, clear, and consistent
across various objects, methods, and programming environments.
