How to check whether a MySql connection is alive in C API?

From the documentation, I know how to check MySql connection state in C++

These methods can be used to check the connection state or reconnect:

  • sql::Connection::isValid() checks whether the connection is alive.

  • sql::Connection::reconnect() reconnects if the connection has gone down.

Is there a C API to do the same thing?

Yes, the link you shared is to Connector/C++, which is a C++ API. What you're looking for is Connector/C, or just the regular C API.

mysql_stat is a function which will return status of the server to tell you if the connection is gone.
