Photos would help.
The sail's luff (or forward edge) will either have a wire luff tape, if the boat has a roller furling setup, a wire luff, if the boat has a foil-less roller furling setup, or hanks, if the boat has a standard forestay.
There should be a jib halyard, which usually comes from the mast, but on some roller furling setups it is integral to the roller furling unit. There should also be a shackle for the tack (lower forward corner) of the jib to clip to. The shackle might be just above a furling drum for a roller furled unit, or on the chainplate for the forestay for a hanked on jib.
I would highly recommend you buy and read Dave Seidman's The Complete Sailor. It covers much of the basic terminology and fundamentals, which you seem to be lacking. I'd also recommend you take at least a basic ASA 101 learn to sail type course.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
