Function Documentation

Eina_Strbuf* eina_strbuf_new

(

void

)

Create a new string buffer.

Returns:

Newly allocated string buffer instance.

This function creates a new string buffer. On error, NULL is returned and Eina error is set to EINA_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY. To free the resources, use eina_strbuf_free().

See also:

eina_strbuf_free()

eina_strbuf_append()

eina_strbuf_string_get()

void eina_strbuf_free

(

Eina_Strbuf *

buf

)

Free a string buffer.

Parameters:

buf

The string buffer to free.

This function frees the memory of buf. buf must have been created by eina_strbuf_new().

void eina_strbuf_reset

(

Eina_Strbuf *

buf

)

Reset a string buffer.

Parameters:

buf

The string buffer to reset.

This function reset buf: the buffer len is set to 0, and the string is set to '\0'. No memory is free'd.

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str
	)

Append a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:

	buf	The string buffer to append to.
	str	The string to append.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function appends str to buf. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_append_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant. If buf can't append it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

See also:

eina_strbuf_append()

eina_strbuf_append_length()

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_escaped	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str
	)

Append an escaped string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:

	buf	The string buffer to append to.
	str	The string to append.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function appends the escaped string str to buf. If str can not be appended, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise, EINA_TRUE is returned.

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_n	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	maxlen
	)

Append a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary, limited by the given length.

Parameters:

	buf	The string buffer to append to.
	str	The string to append.
	maxlen	The maximum number of characters to append.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function appends at most maxlen characters of str to buf. It can't appends more than the length of str. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_append_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant (maxlen should then be checked so that it is greater than the size of str). If str can not be appended, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise, EINA_TRUE is returned.

See also:

eina_strbuf_append()

eina_strbuf_append_length()

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_length	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	length
	)

Append a string of exact length to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:

	buf	The string buffer to append to.
	str	The string to append.
	length	The exact length to use.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function appends str to buf. str must be of size at most length. It is slightly faster than eina_strbuf_append() as it does not compute the size of str. It is useful when dealing with strings of known size, such as eina_strngshare. If buf can't append it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

	c	The char to append.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function inserts c to buf. If it can not insert it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function inserts str ot buf at position pos, with at most maxlen bytes. The number of inserted characters can not be greater than the length of str. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_insert_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant (maxlen should then be checked so that it is greater than the size of str). If str can not be inserted, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise, EINA_TRUE is returned.

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_insert_length	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	length,
		size_t	pos
	)

Parameters:

	buf	The string buffer to insert to.
	str	The string to insert.
	length	The exact length to use.
	pos	The position to insert the string.

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure.

This function inserts str to buf. str must be of size at most length. It is slightly faster than eina_strbuf_insert() as it does not compute the size of str. It is useful when dealing with strings of known size, such as eina_strngshare. If buf can't insert it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.
