Can you provide documentation on C API best practices?

[limingyao001]

I need to call its C api when using this algorithm, but I haven't found a complete usage document or interface document, which makes it difficult to use its C interface perfectly.

[limingyao001]

LIGHTGBM_C_EXPORT int LGBM_DatasetCreateFromMat(const void *data, int data_type, int32_t nrow, int32_t ncol, int is_row_major, const char *parameters, const DatasetHandle reference, DatasetHandle *out)

In this interface, is the first parameter a one-dimensional array? What is his situation like? For example, my training set has four sample points, feature 1 is 2, 3, 4, and 6, and feature 2 is 100, 105, 321, and 134 respectively. So is the first parameter data [2,3,4,6,100,105,321,134] or a two-dimensional array?

You can refer to our test for c_api: https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM/blob/master/tests/c_api_test/test_.py
You can also check how we use these apis in python/R packages.
