Unicode String Buffer

These functions provide unicode string buffer management.

The Unicode String Buffer data type is designed to be a mutable string, allowing the appending, prepending or insertion of a string to a buffer.

Typedef Documentation

Type for a unicode string buffer.


Function Documentation

Appends a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to append.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE on failure such as if str could not be appended.

This function appends str to buf. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_ustrbuf_append_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant.

See also:
eina_ustrbuf_append()
eina_ustrbuf_append_length()
Since :
2.3

Appends a character to a string buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]cThe char to append.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if c could not be appended.

This function appends c to buf.

Since :
2.3

Appends an escaped string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to append.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be appended.

This function appends the escaped string str to buf.

Since :
2.3
Eina_Bool eina_ustrbuf_append_length ( Eina_UStrbuf buf,
const Eina_Unicode str,
size_t  length 
)

Appends a string of exact length to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to append.
[in]lengthThe exact length to use.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be appended.

This function appends str to buf. str must be of size at most length. It is slightly faster than eina_ustrbuf_append() as it does not compute the size of str. It is useful when dealing with strings of known size, such as eina_stringshare.

Since :
2.3
Eina_Bool eina_ustrbuf_append_n ( Eina_UStrbuf buf,
const Eina_Unicode str,
size_t  maxlen 
)

Appends a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary, limited by the given length.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to append.
[in]maxlenThe maximum number of characters to append.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be appended.

This function appends at most maxlen characters of str to buf. It can't append more than the length of str. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_ustrbuf_append_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant (maxlen should then be checked so that it is greater than the size of str).

See also:
eina_ustrbuf_append()
eina_ustrbuf_append_length()
Since :
2.3

Appends a slice to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:

Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if slice could not be appended.

This function appends slice to buf.

Since (EFL) :
1.19.0

Frees a string buffer.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer to free.

Since :
2.3
Eina_Bool eina_ustrbuf_insert ( Eina_UStrbuf buf,
const Eina_Unicode str,
size_t  pos 
)

Inserts a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to insert.
[in]posThe position to insert the string.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be inserted.

This function inserts str to buf at position pos. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_ustrbuf_insert_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant.

Since :
2.3

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.
[in]strThe string to insert.
[in]posThe position to insert the string.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be inserted.

[in]lengthThe exact length to use.
[in]posThe position to insert the string.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE if str could not be inserted.

This function inserts str into buf. str must be no longer than length. It is slightly faster than eina_ustrbuf_insert() as it does not compute the size of str. It is useful when dealing with strings of known size, such as eina_stringshare.

Eina_Bool eina_ustrbuf_insert_n ( Eina_UStrbuf buf,

It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_ustrbuf_insert_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant (maxlen should then be checked so that it is greater than the size of str).

eina_ustrbuf_string_get()
Since :
2.3

Frees the buffer, returning its old contents.

Parameters:

Since (EFL) :
1.19
Eina_Bool eina_ustrbuf_remove ( Eina_UStrbuf buf,
size_t  start,
size_t  end 
)

Removes a section of the given string buffer.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer to remove a slice.
[in]startThe initial (inclusive) slice position to start removing, in bytes.
[in]endThe final (non-inclusive) slice position to finish removing, in bytes.
Returns:

This function removes a slice of buf, starting at start (inclusive) and ending at end (non-inclusive). Both values are in bytes.

Since :
2.3

Resets a string buffer.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.

This function resets buf: the buffer len is set to 0, and the string data is set to '\0'. No memory is freed.

Since :
2.3

Gets a read-write slice of the buffer contents.

Parameters:
[in]bufThe string buffer.
Returns:
A read-write slice for the current contents. It may become invalid as soon as the buf is changed, such as through calls like eina_ustrbuf_append() or eina_ustrbuf_remove().
Since (EFL) :
1.19.0

Gets a read-only slice of the buffer contents.

Parameters:
[in]bufThe string buffer.
Returns:
A read-only slice for the current contents. It may become invalid as soon as buf is changed.
Since (EFL) :
1.19

Frees the contents of a string buffer but not the buffer.

Parameters:
[in,out]bufThe string buffer.

This function frees the string contained in buf without freeing buf.

Since :
2.3

Retrieves a pointer to the contents of a string buffer.

Parameters:
[in]bufThe string buffer.
Returns:
The current string in the string buffer.

This function returns the string contained in buf. The returned value must not be modified and will no longer be valid if buf is modified. In other words, calling eina_ustrbuf_append() or similar functions will make this pointer invalid.

See also:
eina_ustrbuf_string_steal()
Since :
2.3

Steals the contents of a string buffer.

Parameters:
[in]bufThe string buffer.
Returns:
The string that was contained in buf.

This function returns the string contained in buf. buf is then initialized and does not own the returned string anymore. The caller must release the memory of the returned string by calling free().
