amqp exchange types

[l rus]

i am new to amqpmq-c. please bare with me. amqp support a handful of exchange types: direct, topic, fanout etc.

Is this functionality exposed thru rabbitmq-c library package or is this thru naming convention?

 

e.g. java implementations have exchangeDeclare() that takes exchange type.

So does librabbitmq-c:
https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmqc/blob/master/examples/amqps_exchange_declare.c#L101

Exchange type is a separate (string) field on the wire. The only convention there
is is that non-standard exchange types begin with the "x-" prefix.
