 Use is somewhat unique in that, by default, it has an average overhead of only 55% overhead over strdup(), for strings in the range of 0 to 20 bytes. Or, to put it another way it only uses 8 bytes to store a 2 byte string where strdup() uses 3.

Creating read-only Ustr functions

Function: USTR()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to Ustr data
Type[1]: void *

Explanation:

  This macro function is normally used with the empty string "".

Note:

  There is basically just a simple cast behind the macro.

Function: USTRP()
Returns: Ustrp string
Type: struct Ustrp *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to Ustrp data
Type[1]: void *

Explanation:

  This macro function is normally used with the empty string "".

Note:

  There is basically just a simple cast behind the macro.

Function: USTR1()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Encoded number of the length of Ustr string
Type[1]: symbol

Parameter[2]: Data for Ustr string
Type[2]: const char[]

Explanation:

  This macro function simplifies the creation of read-only Ustr string's. And is normally used like...

  USTR1(\x4, "abcd")

 ...it is worth pointing out that running with debugging turned on
 (USTR_CONF_USE_ASSERT) will complain if the length isn't encoded correctly, as in...

  USTR1(\x3, "abcd")

 ...here ustr_assert_valid() will fail, which is called before most functions do
 anything in debugging mode. Note also that extra debugging (USTR_CONF_USE_EOS_MARK) will still catch cases like...

  USTR1(\x3, "abc\0d")

 ...at least using debugging is esp. important if you are putting UTF-8
 characters into the strings.

Note:

  Having ustr_ro() return true means that the Ustr cannot be written to without be reallocated into allocation space ... not that ustr_add() etc. will fail.

  There is now USTR1_CHK() which performs a compile time check so you can never have an invalid ustr.

Function: USTR2()

Type[2]: symbol

Parameter[3]: Data for Ustr string
Type[3]: const char[]

Explanation:

Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Encoded number of the length of Ustr string
Type[1]: symbol

Parameter[2]: Data for Ustr string
Type[2]: const char[]

Explanation:

  This function works in the same way as USTR1() but it does a check against the length of (Parameter[2]) using sizeof() - 1.

Note:

  If the check fails the returned Ustr * will be "", so you can check ustr_len() to see if you screwed something up.

Creating fixed Ustr functions

Function: USTR_SIZE_FIXED()
Returns: Size of area of memory
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: Size of area of memory
Type[1]: size_t

Explanation:

  This macro function is replaced by a static conversion from the max length desired (Parameter[1]) to the storage size needed. In other words it works out what ustr_size_overhead() will be, and adds that value.

Note:

  This is useful is you want a small fixed size allocation, as you can declare it like so:

  char buf[USTR_SIZE_FIXED(4)];
 ...to give you exactly 4 bytes as a maximum, this is esp. useful if you want
 a limited (ustr_limited() == USTR_TRUE) Ustr string.

Function: ustr_init_fixed()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to area of memory to use as a Ustr string
Type[1]: void *

Parameter[2]: Size of area of memory
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Whether the fixed size Ustr should be limited
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: The initial length of the Ustr
Type[4]: size_t

Explanation:

  This creates a new Ustr string, which is "fixed". This means the Ustr storage is managed outside of the ustr_* API, it is often used for stack allocated strings.

  As you add data to the Ustr past the size allowed via. the fixed storge the Ustr will automatically be converted into an allocated Ustr. So if this is possible you should always call ustr_free(), as this does nothing if given a fixed size Ustr.

Note:

  For simplicity you probably want to use USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO() or USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO() when possible.

Function: USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Area of memory to use as a Ustr string
Type[1]: char[]

Parameter[2]: Whether the fixed size Ustr should be limited
Type[2]: int

Parameter[3]: The initial length of the Ustr
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This calls ustr_init_fixed() with sizeof() the area of memory (Parameter[1]) as the second argument.

Note:

  This does mean that the first argument must be the correct size, as far as sizeof() is concerned, as in...

 char buf_sz[1024];
 Ustr *s1 = USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO(buf_sz, USTR_FALSE, 0);

 ...so passing pointers to memory from malloc() will probably just return NULL.

Function: USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO_OSTR()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Area of memory to use as a Ustr string
Type[1]: char[]

Parameter[2]: Whether the fixed size Ustr should be limited
Type[2]: int

Parameter[3]: The initial string in the buffer, as a constant string
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This calls ustr_init_fixed() with sizeof() the area of memory (Parameter[1]) as the second argument, given as an "object string".

Note:

  This does mean that the first argument must be the correct size, as far as sizeof() is concerned, as in...

 char buf_sz[1024] = USTR_BEG_FIXED2 "abcd";
 Ustr *s1 = USTR_SC_INIT_AUTO_OSTR(buf_sz, USTR_FALSE, "abcd");

 ...so passing pointers to memory from malloc() will probably just return NULL.

Debugging functions

Function: ustr_assert_valid()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function asserts a few internal consistency checks, and can help point out when a Ustr is invalid.

Note:

  This calls ustr_assert_ret() so that when USTR_DEBUG if off the checks are still performed and the result is returned.

Function: ustr_assert_valid_subustr()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: Ustr *

Parameter[2]: Position in the Ustr
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Length to delete from the Ustr
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function calls ustr_assert_valid() and also checks that the position and length are within the Ustr. If they aren't valid it returns 0, if they are valid it returns ustr_len().

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_BEG()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Condition for begin malloc checking or not
Type[1]: int

Explanation:

  This function begins malloc checking, meaning all ustr allocations will go through the malloc check routines, but it fails if the condition check (Parameter[1]) fails.

Note:

  Turning malloc checking on after one or more allocations has happened will lead to false failures unless you really known what you are doing.

  You can automatically turn malloc checking on by giving the USTR_CNTL_MC environment variable the value of "1", "yes" or "on".

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_LVL()
Returns: Level of current malloc check
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Nothing
Type[1]: void

Explanation:

  This function returns the current "level" of the malloc check, with 0 indicating that malloc check isn't enabled.

  The level goes up by one whenever USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_BEG() or USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_ADD() returns success, and goes down by one whenever USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_DEL() or USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_END() returns success.

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer returned from malloc check
Type[1]: void *

Explanation:

  This function asserts that the pointer (Parameter[1]) was allocated from malloc checking.

Note:

  Unless you are doing something special, or using a builtin Ustr_pool it is very likely you want to just call USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTR().

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_SZ()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer returned from malloc check
Type[1]: void *

Parameter[2]: Length of allocated memory
Type[2]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function asserts that the pointer (Parameter[1]) was allocated from malloc checking, and has the specified size (Parameter[2]).

Note:

  Unless you are doing something special, or using a builtin Ustr_pool it is very likely you want to just call USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTR().

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_MINSZ()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer returned from malloc check
Type[1]: void *

Parameter[2]: Length of allocated memory
Type[2]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function asserts that the pointer (Parameter[1]) was allocated from malloc checking, and has at least the specified size (Parameter[2]).

Note:

  Unless you are doing something special, or using a builtin Ustr_pool it is very likely you want to just call USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTR().

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTR()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function asserts that the pointer (Parameter[1]) is a Ustr allocated from malloc checking, if the Ustr is allocated (if not it returns TRUE).

Note:

  Because of the layering between the Ustr code and the pool code, if you allocate an implicity sized Ustrp from a pool and then delete some data from it (which fails) the Ustr layer will think it has an implicit less than the actual size so this function will fail. This is what USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTRP() is for.

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_MEM_USTRP()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustrp string
Type[1]: Ustrp *

Explanation:

  This function asserts that the pointer (Parameter[1]) is a Ustr allocated from a builtin pool using malloc checking, if the Ustr is allocated (if not it returns TRUE).

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_END()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Nothing
Type[1]: void

Explanation:

  This macro will cleanup any memory used by malloc check, and assert that no memory is left allocated.

Note:

  If any memory is left allocated, each one found is output to stderr with the file/line/function of the level it was allocated from.

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_ADD()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Condition to begin malloc checking or not
Type[1]: int

Explanation:

  This function works like USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_END() but it fails if the condition check (Parameter[1]) fails, or if USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_LVL() is zero.

Function: USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_DEL()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Condition to end malloc checking or not
Type[1]: int

Explanation:

  This function works like USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_END() but it fails if the condition check (Parameter[1]) fails, or if USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_LVL() is one.

Note:

  The condition (Parameter[1]) to this macro should almost certainly be the return value from USTR_CNTL_MALLOC_CHECK_ADD().

Creating allocated Ustr functions

Function: ustr_init_size()
Returns: Size that needs to be allocated
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[2]: Number of bytes to use for reference count
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocations
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: Length of data in the Ustr
Type[4]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function finds out the exact size of memory needed to store the specified Ustr of the given configuration.

Function: ustr_init_alloc()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to area of memory to use as a Ustr string
Type[1]: void *

Parameter[2]: Size of area of memory
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Whether Ustr should store the size
Type[3]: size_t

Parameter[4]: Number of bytes to use for references
Type[4]: size_t

Parameter[5]: Whether the Ustr should use exact allocations
Type[5]: int

Parameter[6]: Whether the Ustr should have the "enomem" flag set
Type[6]: int

Parameter[7]: The initial length of the Ustr
Type[7]: size_t

Explanation:

  This creates a new Ustr string, you should have allocated the data via.  USTR_CONF_MALLOC() or bad things will happen if the Ustr string is ever free'd or reallocated.

Function: ustr_dupx_empty()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[2]: Number of bytes to use for reference count
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocation flag
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Explanation:

  This function creates an empty Ustr, owned by you, that is allocated from system memory, or it returns NULL.

  The size is the desired allocation size for the entire Ustr, including overhead for metadata. This value will be rounded up, if it's too small, so passing 1 as the size means you want a stored size but to allocate the smallest amount of memory possible.

  The exact memory allocation flag says if the Ustr should round allocations up to the nearest half power of two or should be no more than needed.

  The ENOMEM memory error flag sets the iniital state of the user visible flag for memory allocation errors. Eg. ustr_enomem(), ustr_setf_enomem_clr() and ustr_setf_enomem_err()

Note:

  The reference byte count can only be one of the following values: 0, 1, 2 or 4, or 8 (on environments with a 64bit size_t).

  It can be useful to ensure that the Ustr is in system memory, so that you can add things to it and check for errors with ustr_enomem().

  If you chose to store the allocated size in the Ustr then the number of bytes allocated for the reference count will be a minimum of 2.

Function: ustr_dup_empty()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Nothing
Type[1]: void

Explanation:

  This function is the same as calling ustr_dupx_empty() with the current set of default options.

Function: ustr_dupx_undef()
Returns: Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[2]: Number of bytes to use for reference count
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocations
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Parameter[5]: Length of new undefined data
Type[5]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function works like you called ustr_dupx_empty() and then ustr_add_undef().

Function: ustr_dup_undef()
Returns: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Length of new undefined data
Type[1]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function is the same as calling ustr_dupx_undef() with the current set of default options.

Function: ustr_dup()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function tries to increase the reference count on the passed Ustr string, and if that succeeds returns that as an argument. If that fails it tries creates a new Ustr string that looks identical to the old Ustr string, apart from the reference count.

Note:

  Because the new Ustr string is configured identically to the old Ustr string this means the result can be very different to what you get if you call ustr_dup_buf() with ustr_cstr() and ustr_len() from the original string where the configuration would be whatever the default is.

  Esp. worth of note is that if you ustr_dup() a Ustr string with an explicit size of 900 but a length of 1, and the reference count is full the returned Ustr string will have a size of 900 bytes and so will have allocated a little over that. ustr_dup_buf(), even with a sized configuration would only allocate about 12 bytes and have a size a little less than that.

Function: ustr_dupx()
Returns: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[2]: Number of bytes to use for reference count
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocations
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Parameter[5]: Pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[5]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function tries to add a reference if the value of the size, reference bytes, exact memory allocations and ENOMEM are the same as those in the passed Ustr string (Parameter[5]). If the comparison fails or the addition of a reference fails it works like ustr_dupx_buf() using ustr_cstr() and ustr_len().

Function: ustr_sc_dup()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Explanation:

  This function works like calling ustr_dup(), but if the reference count is maxed out then and so a new Ustr string has been allocated then that is stored in the passed argument (Parameter[1]) and the "old" Ustr string is returned.

Note:

  The reason to use this is that if you have a "main" Ustr string pointer that a lot of things are getting references too then when the reference count maxes out you'll degrade into worst case behaviour which acts as though there are no reference counts. This function stops that problem.

  As an example, if you have a 1 byte reference count and have 255 * 2 references then using ustr_dup() will create 256 Ustr strings using this function will create 4 Ustr strings.

Function: ustr_sc_dupx()
Returns: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[2]: Number of bytes to use for reference count
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocations
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Parameter[5]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[5]: struct Ustr **

Explanation:

  This function works like calling ustr_dupx(), but if the reference count is maxed out then and so a new Ustr string is allocated then that is stored in the passed argument (Parameter[1]) and the "old" Ustr string is returned.

  If the configurations of the new Ustr string and the old Ustr string are not the same, this function works identically to ustr_dupx().

Note:

  The reason to use this is that if you have a "main" Ustr string pointer that a lot of things are getting references too then when the reference count maxes out you'll degrade into worst case behaviour which acts as though there are no reference counts. This function stops that problem.

  As an example, if you have a 1 byte reference count and have 255 * 2 references then using ustr_dupx() will create 256 Ustr strings using this function will create 4 Ustr strings.

Function: ustr_dup_buf()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to data
Type[1]: const void *

Parameter[2]: Length of data

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Parameter[5]: Pointer to data
Type[5]: const void *

Parameter[6]: Length of data
Type[6]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function works as if you had called ustr_dupx_undef() and then copied the data into the new undefined space.

Function: ustr_dup_cstr()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Pointer to constant C-style string
Type[1]: const char *

Explanation:

  This function works as if you had called ustr_dup_buf() and passed strlen() as the length.

Function: ustr_dupx_cstr()
Returns: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Exact memory allocations
Type[3]: int

Parameter[4]: ENOMEM, memory error flag
Type[4]: int

Parameter[5]: Pointer to constant C-style string
Type[5]: const char *

Function: USTR_DUP_OSTR()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: A constant C-style string
Type[1]: const char []

Explanation:

  This function works as if you had called ustr_dup_buf() and passed sizeof() - 1 as the length.

Function: USTR_DUP_OBJ()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: A symbol
Type[1]: ...

Explanation:

  This function works as if you had called ustr_dup_buf() and passed sizeof() as the length.

Note:

  In most cases you'll want to use USTR_DUP_OSTR().

Function: ustr_dup_subustr()
Returns: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Parameter[2]: Position in the Ustr
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Length to add from the Ustr
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function mostly works as if you had called ustr_dup_buf() with the ustr_cstr() + position - 1 and length values of the Ustr string to be added.

Note:

  If the position is 1 and the length is the length of the Ustr string then it just calls ustr_dup().

Function: ustr_dupx_subustr()
Returns: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type: struct Ustr *

Parameter[1]: Size of allocated storage
Type[1]: size_t

Deleting a Ustr, or data within a Ustr

Function: ustr_free()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustr
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function decrements the reference count on a Ustr, if there is one, and free's it if it is allocated and the reference count becomes zero.

Note:

  This function does nothing if passed USTR_NULL.

Function: ustrp_free()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a Ustr pool object
Type[1]: struct Ustr_pool *

Parameter[2]: Pointer to a Ustrp (pool allocated Ustr)
Type[2]: struct Ustrp *

Explanation:

  This function works like ustr_free() but calls the pool_free member function of the Ustr_pool (Parameter[1]) instead of the ustr system free.

Function: ustr_sc_free()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Explanation:

  This function calls ustr_free() and then sets the pointer (Parameter[1]) to USTR_NULL, which is a noop when passed to ustr_free(). This can be used to help prevent "double free" errors.

Note:

  While the point to the pointer must be non-NULL, this function also accepts a NULL ustr and does nothing. So you can pass the same pointer to this function multiple times and only the first one will do anything.

Function: ustr_sc_free2()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Pointer to a Ustr string
Type[2]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function works like ustr_sc_free() but instead of setting the pointer (Parameter[1]) to USTR_NULL it sets it to the Ustr string (Parameter[2]).

Note:

  While the point to the pointer must be non-NULL, this function also accepts a NULL ustr to be free'd and does nothing. So you can pass the same pointer to ustr_sc_free() and then this function safely.

  The passed value (Parameter[2]) shouldn't be USTR_NULL, and in debugging mode the function will assert() that it isn't.

Function: ustr_sc_free_shared()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Explanation:

  This function is a simple way to "free" a Ustr string that has been shared (ustr_shared() returns USTR_TRUE), normally ustr_free() is ignored on a shared Ustr string. It just calls ustr_setf_owner() and then ustr_sc_free().

Function: ustr_del()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Length to delete from the Ustr
Type[2]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function deletes data from the end of Ustr, possibly re-sizing the Ustr at the same time.

Note:

  The Ustr is never re-sized when the size is stored explicitly, so the pointer never changes.

Function: ustr_del_subustr()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Position in the Ustr
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Length to delete from the Ustr
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function works like ustr_del() but can delete an arbitrary section of the Ustr.

Function: ustr_sc_del()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Explanation:

  This function is like calling ustr_del() with ustr_len() as the length, however if that fails it does a ustr_free() and then sets the pointer to USTR("").

Note:

  While the benifit is that you don't have to check for memory failure errors, if there is a memory failure and you have a non-default configuration the configuration will revert back to the default.

Function: ustr_add_undef()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Length of new undefined data
Type[2]: size_t

Explanation:

  The Ustr string is expanded (possibly reallocated) so that it can contain length (Parameter[2]) extra data, if the length is not zero the Ustr will be writable. Or it'll return USTR_FALSE (zero) on failure.

Function: ustr_add_buf()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Pointer to data

Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: A symbol
Type[2]: ...

Explanation:

  This function works as if you had called ustr_add_buf() and passed sizeof() as the length.

Note:

  In most cases you'll want to use USTR_ADD_OSTR().

Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[2]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function mostly works as if you had called ustr_add_buf() with the ustr_cstr() and ustr_len() values of the Ustr string to be added.

Note:

  If the Ustr string is zero length and isn't writable this function may just add a reference, this is fine for Ustr strings that are "constant" because if the Ustr is read-only then the memory will not be written to.

Function: ustr_add_subustr()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string

Explanation:

  This function mostly works as if you had called ustr_add_buf() with the ustr_cstr() + position - 1 and length values of the Ustr string to be added. The exception being if you add a ustr to itself, while only having a single reference count, the simple method would access a free'd ustr, but this function just works.

Note:

  If the position is 1 and the length is the length of the Ustr string then it just calls ustr_add().

Function: ustr_add_rep_chr()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Byte value of data
Type[2]: char

Accessing the variables of a Ustr

Function: ustr_len()
Returns: The length of the Ustr
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function returns the length of the data within the Ustr, much like strlen() but without getting the value wrong in the case of extra NIL bytes.

Function: ustr_cstr()
Returns: Read-only pointer to the start of data in the Ustr
Type: const char *

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function returns a read-only pointer to the start of the data of the Ustr string. Due to there always being a terminating NIL byte in a Ustr, this is also a valid C-style string.

Function: ustr_wstr()
Returns: Writable pointer to the start of data in the Ustr, or NULL
Type: char *

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function returns a writable pointer to the start of the data of the Ustr string. Due to there always being a terminating NIL byte in a Ustr, this is also a valid C-style string.

  If the ustr is read-only (ustr_ro() == USTR_TRUE) then this function will return NULL.

Note:

  Unless the string is owned (ustr_owner() == USTR_TRUE) it can be a very bad idea to use this to change data, as then all references will be updated. See ustr_sc_wstr().

Function: ustr_alloc()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr is currently in allocated storage.

Function: ustr_exact()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr is doing exact allocations, so as the Ustr grows it will only have storage allocated exactly as required and not in half powers of two.

Note:

  This will always be USTR_FALSE for read-only Ustr strings (ustr_ro() == USTR_TRUE), even though the default may be to used exact sized allocations when  adding data to them etc.

Function: ustr_sized()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr stores an explicit allocation size, if not the size is implied as the next highest half power of two.

Function: ustr_ro()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  Read-only storage is not writable but can be referenced via. ustr_dup() an infinite amount of times.

Function: ustr_fixed()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr is current in fixed size storage.

  Fixed size storage is writable but cannot be referenced.

Note:

  Fixed size storage always explicitly stores the size of the storage.

Function: ustr_enomem()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function just returns the value of the user settable flag in the Ustr. It can be set via. ustr_setf_enomem_err() and cleared by ustr_setf_enomem_clr().

  This function is automatically set to on whever a memory allocation failure happens for a Ustr.

Note:

  If a Ustr is referenced multiple times, ustr_setf_enomem_err() will fail.

  This always fails for Ustr's in read-only storage.

Function: ustr_shared()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr is in the "shared" mode. It can be set via. ustr_setf_shared() and cleared by ustr_setf_owner() on allocated Ustr's.

  Shared mode means that a Ustr can be referenced and unreferenced an infinite number of times.

Note:

  This always succeeds for Ustr's in read-only storage.

  This always fails for Ustr's in fixed size storage.

Function: ustr_limited()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if the Ustr is currently in fixed size storage and cannot move to allocated storage.

Note:

  This always fails for Ustr's in allocated storage.

  This always fails for Ustr's in read-only storage.

Function: ustr_owner()
Returns: A boolean flag of either USTR_TRUE or USTR_FALSE
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function says if there is only a single reference to the Ustr string.

Note:

  This always fails for Ustr's in read-only storage.

  This always succeeds for Ustr's in fixed size storage.

Function: ustr_size()
Returns: size_t
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function calculates the maximum amount of data that could be stored (Ie. the max ustr_len()) without having to re-size the Ustr string.

Function: ustr_size_alloc()
Returns: size_t
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function returns the size of the storage for the Ustr.

Function: ustr_size_overhead()
Returns: size_t
Type: size_t

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function returns the difference between the size of the storage and the maximum amount of data that could be stored without having to re-size the Ustr string.

Function: ustr_conf()
Returns: Nothing
Type: void

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a constant Ustr string
Type[1]: const struct Ustr *

Parameter[2]: Return size allocated number
Type[2]: size_t *

Parameter[3]: Return number of bytes used in the reference count
Type[3]: size_t *

Parameter[4]: Return exact allocations flag
Type[4]: int *

Parameter[5]: Return number of bytes used in the length
Type[5]: size_t *

Parameter[5]: Return number of references to this Ustr
Type[5]: size_t *

Explanation:

  This function gives the configuration of the current Ustr needed to duplicate it via. the ustr_dupx_*() functions. It also gives the number of bytes used for the length and the number of references, which are mainly informational.

Note:

  This function differs from calling the ustr_exact() etc. functions in that it returns the global options if this Ustr isn't allocated, thus telling you what the configuration would be if the Ustr was turned into an allocated Ustr by adding data etc.

  Zero references for an allocated Ustr with a non-zero number of bytes for a reference count means it's in "shared" mode).

Setting the flags of a Ustr

Function: ustr_setf_enomem_err()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function sets the enomem flag, which can be observed via. the ustr_enomem() function.

  The implication of setting this flag is that a memory error has occured in a previous function call on this Ustr.

Note:

  This function fails if ustr_owner() fails for the Ustr.

Function: ustr_setf_enomem_clr()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function clears the enomem flag, which can be observed via. the ustr_enomem() function.

  The implication of this flag being set is that a memory error has occured in a previous function call on this Ustr, so on clearing the flag you should know you have brought the Ustr back to a known state.

Note:

  This function fails if ustr_owner() fails for the Ustr.

Function: ustr_setf_share()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function sets the shared mode, which can be observed via. the ustr_shared() function.

  This is used on a Ustr so that it can have more references than it is able to hold in it's reference count. After this call the Ustr can be referenced and unreferenced an infinite number of times.

Note:

  After this call the Ustr will never be deleted until ustr_setf_owner() is called.

  This function fails if ustr_alloc() fails for the Ustr.

Function: ustr_setf_owner()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: A pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr *

Explanation:

  This function removes the shared mode, which can be observed via. the ustr_shared() function.

  This is used so that a Ustr in shared mode can be free'd.

Note:

  This function fails if ustr_alloc() fails for the Ustr.

Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: A pointer to a C file object
Type[2]: FILE *

Parameter[3]: Number of bytes to write
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function works like calling ustr_io_put(), and then writting a '\n' to the file.

Note:

  This doesn't write a line from the Ustr to the file, if you want that call ustr_io_put() directly, using the return from ustr_srch_chr_fwd() (with a '\n') as the number of bytes argument.

Function: ustr_io_putfile()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string

Type[3]: const char *

Explanation:

  This function opens a specified file, and then calls ustr_io_putfile(). Finally closing the FILE * object.

Note:

  The errno value when this function ends could either be from fopen(), fwrite(), or if both of the those succeeded from fclose().

Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Position where to start substitution
Type[2]: size_t

Parameter[3]: Length of undefined data
Type[3]: size_t

Explanation:

  The Ustr string is expanded as required (possibly reallocated) so that it can contain length (Parameter[2]) data, from the required position. If the length is not zero the Ustr will be writable. Or it'll return USTR_FALSE (zero) on failure.

Note:

  You can think of the operation as two seperate tasks, one which makes the current data in the Ustr undefined and the second which adds undefined data to the ustr to accomodate the desired length.

Function: ustr_sub_buf()
Returns: Success or failure
Type: int

Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Position where to start substitution
Type[2]: size_t

Type: int

Parameter[1]: Pointer to a pointer to a Ustr string
Type[1]: struct Ustr **

Parameter[2]: Position where to start substitution
Type[2]: size_t

Type[5]: size_t

Explanation:

  This function mostly as if you had called ustr_sub_buf() with the ustr_cstr() + position - 1 and length values of the Ustr string to be insed. The exception being if you insert a ustr to itself, while only having a single reference count, the simple method would access a free'd ustr data, but this function just works.

  For example...

  Ustr *data = ustr_dup_cstr("xxxBxxCxDxxx");
  ustr_replace_rep_chr(&data,'x',2,'y',1, 0)

 ...would change data to be "yxByCxDyx".

Note:

  Changing the same letter the same number of times is considered a No-op since it is a vast performance improvement this way. So passing in  (&data,'y',2,'y',2 ,0) will have a return value of 0 and the string will be unchanged.

Splitting a Ustr

Function: ustr_split_buf()
Returns: pointer to a Ustr representing the next token

Parameter[5]: Pointer to a Ustr to be used as the return value
Type[5]: struct Ustr *

Parameter[6]: Flags with the prefix USTR_FLAG_SPLIT_
Type[6]: unsigned int

Explanation:

  This function works in a manner similar to strtok(). Each time the function is called, the string inside of the buffer (Parameter[3]) is used as a search pattern at which to split. If the pattern is not found, the entire string will be returned. A USTR_NULL return value indicates there are no more tokens remaining.

  Parameter[5] is a a pointer to a Ustr where the return value will be placed. Passing a USTR_NULL to this parameter will cause the string to be allocated and MUST be freed manually. If, however, you pass in a non-null Ustr to this parameter, each call to ustr_split_buf() will free what is in this pointer and place the new token there (when USTR_NULL is returned, nothing needs to be free'd).  For example, given...

  Ustr *data = ...;
  Ustr *tok = USTR_NULL;
  const char *sep = ",";
  size_t off = 0;
  unsigned int flags = USTR_FLAGS_SPLIT_DEF;

 ...there are two options...

  while ((tok = ustr_split_buf(data, &off, sep, strlen(sep), tok, flags)))
  {
 /* Do something with tok -- but next iteration of the loop will free
  * and overwrite tok, so you must ustr_dup() if you want to keep it */
  }
  /* tok is now NULL again after the loop */

 ...or...

  while ((tok = ustr_split_buf(data, &off, sep, strlen(sep), USTR_NULL, flags)))
  {
 /* Do something with tok, and it will NOT be freed in the next iteration of
  * the loop */
ustr_free(tok); /* have to free to avoid mem leaks */
  }

 ...the former of which being the safer option.

Note:
