.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm prop_string
|
|
family of functions operate on a string value property object type.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_create "void"
|
|
Create an empty mutable string.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_create_cstring "const char *cstring"
|
|
Create a mutable string that contains a copy of
|
|
.Fa cstring .
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_create_cstring_nocopy "const char *cstring"
|
|
Create an immutable string that contains a reference to
|
|
.Fa cstring .
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_copy "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Copy a string.
|
|
If the the string being copied is an immutable external C string reference,
|
|
then the copy is also immutable and references the same external C string.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_copy_mutable "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Copy a string, always creating a mutable copy.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_size "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Returns the size of the string, not including the terminating NUL.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_mutable "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
if the string is mutable.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_cstring "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Returns a copy of the string's contents as a C string.
|
|
The caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In user space, the buffer is allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 .
|
|
In the kernel, the buffer is allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
using the malloc type
|
|
.Dv M_TEMP .
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_cstring_nocopy "prop_string_t string"
|
|
Returns an immutable reference to the contents of the string as a
|
|
C string.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_append "prop_string_t str1" "prop_string_t str2"
|
|
Append the contents of
|
|
.Fa str2
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa str1 ,
|
|
which must be mutable.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
upon success and
|
|
.Dv FALSE
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_append_cstring "prop_string_t string" "const char *cstring"
|
|
Append the C string
|
|
.Fa cstring
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa string ,
|
|
which must be mutable.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
upon success and
|
|
.Dv FALSE
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_equals "prop_string_t str1" "prop_string_t str2"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
if the two string objects are equivalent.
|
|
.It Fn prop_string_equals_cstring "prop_string_t string" "const char *cstring"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv TRUE
|
|
if the string's value is equivalent to
|
|
.Fa cstring .
