# Administration Overview

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service C Admin API provides a C program with the ability to query the tibemsd server and obtain information regarding the state of the tibemsd, message consumers, producers, topics and queues at runtime. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service C Admin API closely mimics a subset of the Java Admin API query functionality. It does not provide configuration capability.

## Including the Administration Library

The C Admin API is provided as a separate library. For information about including the C Admin API, see the "C Programmer’s Checklist" of the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User’s Guide.
