man vf_parse_init (Fonctions bibliothèques) - vf_parse_init()

NAME

vf_parse_init - vf_parse_init()

SYNOPSIS

#include <../vformat/vf_iface.h> extern bool_t vf_parse_init

(

VF_PARSER_T **pp_parser,

VF_OBJECT_T **pp_object

);

PARAMETERS

VF_PARSER_T **pp_parser
Ptr to allocated parser.
VF_OBJECT_T **pp_object
The object we're parsing into.

DESCRIPTION

Allocate and initialise a parser. To parse a VCARD (or any vObject) a user allocates a parser, pushes data through it using vf_parse_text() and finally calls vf_parse_end():

VF_PARSER_T *p_parser;

if (vf_parse_init(&p_parser, pp_object)) { do { char buffer[...]; Int numchars;

numchars = get_chars_from_somewhere(buffer, ...);

Ret = vf_parse_text(p_parser, buffer, numchars); } while (ret && (0 < charsread)) ;

if (!vf_parse_end(p_parser)) { ret = FALSE; } }

A parser allocated by vf_parse_init(), must be deallocated by calling vf_parse_end() whether or not parsing succeeds. Also, parsing may not be complete (ie. Values may be held buffered and not evaluated fully or assigned to a VF_OBJECT_T) untill the final call to vf_parse_end() => after a vf_parse_init() you _must_ vf_parse_end().

RETURNS

TRUE iff parser allocated successfully.
