There is fb_get_master_interface. It's an "extern C" function. And it's the only exported function of the new API. Everything else is in function pointers of structs similar to vtable of C++ classes. For FB/Java I have created Java generator in cloop. Most of this file is auto generated: https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/fbjava/blob/master/src/fbjava-impl/src/main/java/org/firebirdsql/fbjava/impl/FbClientLibrary.java Similar thing could be done for C#.
