What is OCC ?

[barisbasar1209]

Hi,

I want to contribute to the desktop client. Towards this end I was studying the source code.
There I found OCC used in many places. Mainly to declare namespace OCC. In the desktop/src/gui/main.cpp I found in line 94 OCC::Application app(argc, argv); . I wanted to look into OCC in order to understand what it is and can be used for, but couldn't find it anywhere, even after looking for clarification for over an hour.

Can someone please help me out by providing a referrence or explanation?

Thanks!

The namespace is called OCC for historical reasons. That is all.
It means 'owncloud console', see https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/occ_command.html
I believe that is why the desktop client also uses it.
