While '_auto' was useful for testing purposes, it is no longer needed. All relevant files start with 'ct', which is sufficient.

Generated C Interface (CLib)
@remark The generated CLib API is a re-implementation of %Cantera's legacy C interface. It replaces the legacy CLib API starting in %Cantera 3.2.
@remark While many function names remain unchanged, the generated CLib is not meant to be a drop-in replacement. Breaking changes involve improved consistency with the C++ code base in terms of nomenclature and function/method signatures.
The generated C interface consists of a set of libraries that are designed to
encapsulate %Cantera functionality and to make it available for use in languages and
applications other than C++. Each library provides functions that are declared
extern "C". All %Cantera objects are stored and referenced by integers - no pointers
are passed to or from the calling application.
CLib Libraries
@warning The generated CLib API is an experimental part of %Cantera and may be changed without notice.
The @ref CAPIindex page provides a list of currently available libraries.
Code Generation
The generated CLib interface is installed by default if %Cantera was built with default options. A test suite ensures that code performs as expected:
