Example of using yara rule in C++

I've been reading the documentation and another one documentation2, but I am still find it is hard to implement a code that scans a file with exisiting yara rule in C++. The documentation doesn't show any good example of it.

What I have tried:

I was looking for example through the internet, and I found one (click to see what I found), but unfortunately it was even harder to understand than the documentation. In most explanation videos I saw people use it in Linux, while the willing is to see a simple example that working on windows 10 using C++ in Visual Studio environment, it will help a lot!

If something needs to be more clear, you can write and I will do my best to explain my self better. Thank you very much beforehand.

Most of the examples are in Python and C. You're in a minority with C++.

Complete information on using this library in C/C++ are provided at The C API — yara 4.0.2 documentation[^]. If you have a specific issue with your code then you need to provide the code and the details of the problem.

First of all, thank you for giving a comment about my question.
Second, I know about this link that you added in your comment, and I know that there are explanations over there about using yara rules in c++, but, the problem is that I have no idea how to start my code, how the structure of the code should be. Therefore, it will be helpful to see an example of that.

I am afraid you are in the wrong place. This is the Quick Answers forum which offers help with specific technical questions. If you do not understand the code examples on the yara website there is not much that we can offer here.
