<h1>strbuf API</h1>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>strbuf’s are meant to be used with all the usual C string and memory
APIs. Given that the length of the buffer is known, it’s often better to
use the mem* functions than a str* one (memchr vs. strchr e.g.).
Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often
stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>An strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the
strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
The <code>buf</code> member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
string operations safely. strbuf’s <em>have</em> to be initialized either by
<code>strbuf_init()</code> or by <code>= STRBUF_INIT</code> before the invariants, though.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Do <strong>not</strong> assume anything on what <code>buf</code> really is (e.g. if it is
allocated memory or not), use <code>strbuf_detach()</code> to unwrap a memory
buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later <code>free()</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
the <code>buf</code> member, between the indices <code>0</code> and <code>len-1</code> (inclusive).</p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The <code>buf</code> member is a byte array that has at least <code>len + 1</code> bytes
allocated. The extra byte is used to store a <code>'\0'</code>, allowing the
<code>buf</code> member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
invariant is preserved.
</p>
<div class="admonitionblock">
<table><tr>
<td class="icon">

strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="colist arabic"><ol>
<li>
<p>
Here, the memory array starting at <code>sb->buf</code>, and of length
<code>strbuf_avail(sb)</code> is all yours, and you can be sure that
<code>strbuf_avail(sb)</code> is at least <code>SOME_SIZE</code>.
</p>

<code>strbuf_init</code>

Initialize the structure. The second parameter can be zero or a bigger
number to allocate memory, in case you want to prevent further reallocs.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_release</code>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_detach</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Detach the string from the strbuf and returns it; you now own the

to release it with <code>free(3)</code> when you are done with it.

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_attach</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Attach a string to a buffer. You should specify the string to attach,
the current length of the string and the amount of allocated memory.
The amount must be larger than the string length, because the string you
pass is supposed to be a NUL-terminated string. This string <em>must</em> be
malloc()ed, and after attaching, the pointer cannot be relied upon
anymore, and neither be free()d directly.

Swap the contents of two string buffers.

Ensure that at least this amount of unused memory is available after

and want to avoid repetitive automatic resizing of the underlying buffer.
This is never a needed operation, but can be critical for performance in
some cases.

Set the length of the buffer to a given value. This function does <strong>not</strong>

length that is larger than <code>len + strbuf_avail()</code>. <code>strbuf_setlen()</code> is

<code>strbuf_expand</code>

<p>
This function can be used to expand a format string containing
placeholders. To that end, it parses the string and calls the specified
function for every percent sign found.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The callback function is given a pointer to the character after the <code>%</code>
and a pointer to the struct strbuf. It is expected to add the expanded
version of the placeholder to the strbuf, e.g. to add a newline
character if the letter <code>n</code> appears after a <code>%</code>. The function returns
the length of the placeholder recognized and <code>strbuf_expand()</code> skips
over it.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The format <code>%%</code> is automatically expanded to a single <code>%</code> as a quoting
mechanism; callers do not need to handle the <code>%</code> placeholder themselves,
and the callback function will not be invoked for this placeholder.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>All other characters (non-percent and not skipped ones) are copied
verbatim to the strbuf. If the callback returned zero, meaning that the
placeholder is unknown, then the percent sign is copied, too.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In order to facilitate caching and to make it possible to give
parameters to the callback, <code>strbuf_expand()</code> passes a context pointer,
which can be used by the programmer of the callback as she sees fit.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_expand_dict_cb</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Used as callback for <code>strbuf_expand()</code>, expects an array of
struct strbuf_expand_dict_entry as context, i.e. pairs of
placeholder and replacement string. The array needs to be
terminated by an entry with placeholder set to NULL.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_addbuf_percentquote</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Append the contents of one strbuf to another, quoting any

strbuf_expand or to the *printf family of functions.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_read_file</code>

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_getline</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Read a line from a FILE *, overwriting the existing contents
of the strbuf. The second argument specifies the line
terminator character, typically <code>'\n'</code>.
Reading stops after the terminator or at EOF. The terminator
is removed from the buffer before returning. Returns 0 unless
there was nothing left before EOF, in which case it returns <code>EOF</code>.

<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_getwholeline</code>

Like <code>strbuf_getline</code>, but keeps the trailing terminator (if
any) in the buffer.

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_getwholeline_fd</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Like <code>strbuf_getwholeline</code>, but operates on a file descriptor.
It reads one character at a time, so it is very slow. Do not
use it unless you need the correct position in the file
descriptor.
</p>
</dd>

<dd>
<p>
Split a string or strbuf into a list of strbufs at a specified
terminator character. The returned substrings include the
terminator characters. Some of these functions take a <code>max</code>
parameter, which, if positive, limits the output to that
number of substrings.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>strbuf_list_free</code>

Free a list of strbufs (for example, the return values of the

<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>launch_editor</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Launch the user preferred editor to edit a file and fill the buffer
with the file’s contents upon the user completing their editing. The
third argument can be used to set the environment which the editor is
run in. If the buffer is NULL the editor is launched as usual but the
file’s contents are not read into the buffer upon completion.
