Code Example
```c
- include <fido.h>
// … (Initialization and setup)
fido_dev_info_t *devlist; size_t devlist_len;
// Discover FIDO2 authenticators if (fido_dev_info_manifest(NULL, 0, &devlist, &devlist_len) != FIDO_OK) {
// Handle error}
// … (Select an authenticator and perform registration/authentication) ```
**Please note:** This is a simplified example. The actual implementation involves more steps, including error handling, credential management, and interaction with the user interface.
