No C API, only D-Bus or command line tools. Your C API would be the
API to whichever D-Bus implementation you choose.
Setting up WiFi can be done without direct D-Bus interaction by using
connmanctl alone. You'd have to generate the commands for system(3) or
the like and process its output. It's a bit messy, but easier than
having to deal with D-Bus, especially if you have never done this
before. You can also use dbus-monitor to learn how connmanctl is
communicating with connmand.
But this approach will only get you so far; at some point you may have
to use the D-Bus interface. It depends on how much control you need.
Julien's suggestion to write a Python prototype is good advice. It is
a lot easier and faster to try out a few things this way than doing it
in C++.
