The strings do not /* need to be null terminated and may contain arbitrary binary data. /* Operations that expect a null-terminated string as input will /* process only the input that precedes the first null byte. /* The strings manage their own memory and grow automatically when full. /* The optional string null terminator does not add to the string length. /* /* vstring_alloc() allocates storage for a variable-length string /* of at least "len" bytes. The minimal length is 1. The result /* is a null-terminated string of length zero. /* /* vstring_ctl() gives additional control over VSTRING behavior. /* The function takes a VSTRING pointer and a list of zero or /* more macros with zer or more arguments, terminated with /* CA_VSTRING_CTL_END which has none. /* .IP "CA_VSTRING_CTL_MAXLEN(ssize_t len)" /* Specifies a hard upper limit on a string's length. When the /* length would be exceeded, the program simulates a memory /* allocation problem (i.e. it terminates through msg_fatal()). /* This functionality is currently unimplemented. /* .IP "CA_VSTRING_CTL_EXACT (no argument)" /* Allocate the requested amounts, instead of rounding up. /* This should be used for tests only. /* .IP "CA_VSTRING_CTL_END (no argument)" /* Specifies the end of the argument list. Forgetting to terminate /* the argument list may cause the program to crash. /* .PP /* VSTRING_SPACE() ensures that the named string has room for /* "len" more characters. VSTRING_SPACE() is an unsafe macro /* that either returns zero or never returns. /* /* vstring_avail() returns the number of bytes that can be placed /* into the buffer before the buffer would need to grow. /* /* vstring_free() reclaims storage for a variable-length string. /* It conveniently returns a null pointer. /* /* vstring_str() is a macro that returns the string value /* of a variable-length string. It is a safe macro that /* evaluates its argument only once. /* /* VSTRING_LEN() is a macro that returns the current length of /* its argument (i.e. the distance from the start of the string /* to the current write position). VSTRING_LEN() is an unsafe macro /* that evaluates its argument more than once. /* /* vstring_end() is a macro that returns the current write position of /* its argument. It is a safe macro that evaluates its argument only once. /* /* VSTRING_ADDCH() adds a character to a variable-length string /* and extends the string if it fills up. \fIvs\fP is a pointer /* to a VSTRING structure; \fIch\fP the character value to be written. /* The result is the written character. /* Note that VSTRING_ADDCH() is an unsafe macro that evaluates some /* arguments more than once. The result is NOT null-terminated. /* /* vstring_truncate() truncates the named string to the specified /* length. If length is negative, the trailing portion is kept. /* The operation has no effect when the string is shorter. /* The string is not null-terminated. /* /* vstring_set_payload_size() sets the number of 'used' bytes /* in the named buffer's metadata. This determines the buffer /* write position and the VSTRING_LEN() result. The payload /* size must be within the closed range [0, number of allocated /* bytes]. The typical usage is to request buffer space with /* VSTRING_SPACE(), to use some non-VSTRING operations to write /* to the buffer, and to call vstring_set_payload_size() to /* update buffer metadata, perhaps followed by VSTRING_TERMINATE(). /* /* VSTRING_RESET() is a macro that resets the write position of its /* string argument to the very beginning. Note that VSTRING_RESET() /* is an unsafe macro that evaluates some arguments more than once. /* The result is NOT null-terminated. /* /* VSTRING_TERMINATE() null-terminates its string argument. /* VSTRING_TERMINATE() is an unsafe macro that evaluates some /* arguments more than once. /* VSTRING_TERMINATE() does not return an interesting result. /* /* VSTRING_SKIP() is a macro that moves the write position to the first /* null byte after the current write position. VSTRING_SKIP() is an unsafe /* macro that evaluates some arguments more than once. /* /* vstring_strcpy() copies a null-terminated string to a variable-length /* string. \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the /* target and result value. The result is null-terminated. /* /* vstring_strncpy() copies at most \fIlen\fR characters. Otherwise it is /* identical to vstring_strcpy(). /* /* vstring_strcat() appends a null-terminated string to a variable-length /* string. \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the /* target and result value. The result is null-terminated. /* /* vstring_strncat() copies at most \fIlen\fR characters. Otherwise it is /* identical to vstring_strcat(). /* /* vstring_memcpy() copies \fIlen\fR bytes to a variable-length string. /* \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the /* target and result value. The result is not null-terminated. /* /* vstring_memcat() appends \fIlen\fR bytes to a variable-length string. /* \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the /* target and result value. The result is not null-terminated. /* /* vstring_memchr() locates a byte in a variable-length string. /* /* vstring_insert() inserts a buffer content into a variable-length /* string at the specified start position. The result is /* null-terminated. /* /* vstring_prepend() prepends a buffer content to a variable-length /* string. The result is null-terminated. /* /* vstring_sprintf() produces a formatted string according to its /* \fIformat\fR argument. See vstring_vsprintf() for details. /* /* vstring_sprintf_append() is like vstring_sprintf(), but appends /* to the end of the result buffer. /* /* vstring_sprintf_append() is like vstring_sprintf(), but prepends /* to the beginning of the result buffer. /* /* vstring_vsprintf() returns a null-terminated string according to /* the \fIformat\fR argument. It understands the s, c, d, u, /* o, x, X, p, e, f and g format types, the l modifier, field width /* and precision, sign, and null or space padding. This module /* can format strings as large as available memory permits. /* /* vstring_vsprintf_append() is like vstring_vsprintf(), but appends /* to the end of the result buffer. /* /* In addition to stdio-like format specifiers, vstring_vsprintf() /* recognizes %m and expands it to the corresponding errno text. /* /* vstring_export() extracts the string value from a VSTRING. /* The VSTRING is destroyed. The result should be passed to myfree(). /* /* vstring_import() takes a `bare' string and converts it to /* a VSTRING. The string argument must be obtained from mymalloc(). /* The string argument is not copied. /* DIAGNOSTICS /* Fatal errors: memory allocation failure. /* BUGS /* Auto-resizing may change the address of the string data in /* a vstring structure. Beware of dangling pointers. /* HISTORY /* .ad /* .fi /* A vstring module appears in the UNPROTO software by Wietse Venema. /* AUTHOR(S) /* Wietse Venema /* IBM T.J. Watson Research /* P.O.
