.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm prop_array
|
|
family of functions operate on the array property collection object type.
|
|
An array is an ordered set; an iterated array will return objects in the
|
|
same order with which they were stored.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_create "void"
|
|
Create an empty array.
|
|
The array initially has no capacity.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_create_with_capacity "unsigned int capacity"
|
|
Create an array with the capacity to store
|
|
.Fa capacity
|
|
objects.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_copy "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Copy an array.
|
|
The new array has an initial capacity equal to the number of objects stored
|
|
in the array being copied.
|
|
The new array contains references to the original array's objects, not
|
|
copies of those objects
|
|
.Pq i.e. a shallow copy is made .
|
|
If the original array is immutable, the resulting array is also immutable.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_copy_mutable "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Like
|
|
.Fn prop_array_copy ,
|
|
except the resulting array is always mutable.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_capacity "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Returns the total capacity of the array, including objects already stored
|
|
in the array.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't an array, zero is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_count "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Returns the number of objects stored in the array.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't an array, zero is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_ensure_capacity "prop_array_t array" "unsigned int capacity"
|
|
Ensure that the array has a total capacity of
|
|
.Fa capacity ,
|
|
including objects already stored in the array.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the capacity of the array is greater or equal to
|
|
.Fa capacity
|
|
or if expansion of the array's capacity was successful
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_iterator "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Create an iterator for the array.
|
|
The array is retained by the iterator.
|
|
An array iterator returns the object references stored in the array.
|
|
Storing to or removing from the array invalidates any active iterators for
|
|
the array.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_make_immutable "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Make
|
|
.Fa array
|
|
immutable.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_mutable "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the array is mutable.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_get "prop_array_t array" "unsigned int index"
|
|
Return the object stored at the array index
|
|
.Fa index .
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_set "prop_array_t array" "unsigned int index" \
|
|
"prop_object_t obj"
|
|
Store a reference to the object
|
|
.Fa obj
|
|
at the array index
|
|
.Fa index .
|
|
This function is not allowed to create holes in the array;
|
|
the caller must either be setting the object just beyond the existing
|
|
count or replacing an already existing object reference.
|
|
The object will be retained by the array.
|
|
If an existing object reference is being replaced, that object will be
|
|
released.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if storing the object was successful and
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_add "prop_array_t array" "prop_object_t obj"
|
|
Add a reference to the object
|
|
.Fa obj
|
|
to the array, appending to the end and growing the array's capacity if
|
|
necessary.
|
|
The object will be retained by the array.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if storing the object was successful and
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
During expansion, array's capacity is augmented by the
|
|
.Dv EXPAND_STEP
|
|
constant, as defined in
|
|
.Pa libprop/prop_array.c
|
|
file, e.g.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
#define EXPAND_STEP 16
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_remove "prop_array_t array" "unsigned int index"
|
|
Remove the reference to the object stored at array index
|
|
.Fa index .
|
|
The object will be released and the array compacted following
|
|
the removal.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_equals "prop_array_t array1" "prop_array_t array2"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the two arrays are equivalent.
|
|
If at least one of the supplied objects isn't an array,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
|
|
Note: Objects contained in the array are compared by value, not by reference.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_externalize "prop_array_t array"
|
|
Externalizes an array, returning a NUL-terminated buffer containing
|
|
the XML representation of the array.
|
|
The caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer.
|
|
If converting to the external representation fails for any reason,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.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_array_internalize "const char *xml"
|
|
Parse the XML representation of a property list in the NUL-terminated
|
|
buffer
|
|
.Fa xml
|
|
and return the corresponding array.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if parsing fails for any reason.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_externalize_to_file "prop_array_t array" "const char *path"
|
|
Externalizes an array and writes it to the file specified by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
The file is saved with the mode
|
|
.Dv 0666
|
|
as modified by the process's file creation mask
|
|
.Pq see Xr umask 3
|
|
and is written atomically.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
if externalizing or writing the array fails for any reason.
|
|
.It Fn prop_array_internalize_from_file "const char *path"
|
|
Reads the XML property list contained in the file specified by
|
|
.Fa path ,
|
|
internalizes it, and returns the corresponding array.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
