Primitave Data Structures

BVal_t, FVal_t, SVal_t, DVal_t - hold a boolean, float (not double), string, or date value (respectively). These data structures are designed so that they may be initialized to all 0s (and hence included directly within larger structures, rather than allocated and initialized individually). You must, however, call their clear method to deallocate any additional memory used to store the actual value once they have been initialized. The following methods are defined on all four data types ("X" should be either "B" "F" "S" or "D", XType is "BOOL" "float" "char *" or "char *", respectively):

BOOL XVal_readVal(XVal_t, char *), etc. - convert the string to a value of the specified type. Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure. If successful, may allocate additional storage.
BOOL XVal_initialized(XVal_t) - Returns TRUE if the value has been initialized (hence contains a legitimate value and may have additional storage allocated internally), FALSE otherwise.
XType XVal_value(XVal_t) -- Returns the value stored in the object.
void XVal_clear(XVal_t) -- Mark the object as uninitialized and release any memory associated with the value currently stored in the object.

BVal

- Boolean value.

definition

typedef struct {
    enum {BVal_UNINITIALIZED = 0,BVal_YES = 1, BVal_INITIALIZED = 2} state;
    } BVal_t;

extern BOOL BVal_readVal(BVal_t * pBVal, const char * valueStr);
extern BOOL BVal_initialized(const BVal_t * pBVal);
extern BOOL BVal_value(const BVal_t * pBVal);
extern void BVal_clear(BVal_t * pBVal);

additional methods

void set - assign value

extern void BVal_set(BVal_t * pBVal, BOOL value);

FVal

- Float value with negative and positive infinity values

definition

typedef struct {
    float value;
    enum {FVal_UNINITIALIZED = 0, FVal_VALUE = 1, FVal_NEGATIVE_INF = 2, 
	  FVal_POSITIVE_INF = 3} stat;
    } FVal_t;

extern BOOL FVal_readVal(FVal_t * pFVal, const char * valueStr);
extern BOOL FVal_initialized(const FVal_t * pFVal);
extern float FVal_value(const FVal_t * pFVal);
extern void FVal_clear(FVal_t * pFVal);

additional methods

void set - assign a float value
void setInfinite - set to negative or positive infinity
BOOL isZero - see if value is zero
int isInfinite - -1 or 1 for negative or positive infinity
BOOL nearerZero - see if check is nearer zero than check
FVal_t FVal_minus - subtract small from big
char * FVal_toStr - convert to allocated CString, caller must free

extern void FVal_set(FVal_t * pFVal, float value);
extern void FVal_setInfinite(FVal_t * pFVal, BOOL negative);
extern BOOL FVal_isZero(const FVal_t * pFVal);
extern int FVal_isInfinite(const FVal_t * pFVal);
extern BOOL FVal_nearerZero(const FVal_t * pRef, const FVal_t * pCheck);
extern FVal_t FVal_minus(const FVal_t * pBig, const FVal_t * pSmall);
extern char * FVal_toStr(FVal_t * pFVal);

initializers

FVal intializers may be used when creating an FVal
eg. FVal_t localFVal = FVal_NEGATIVE_INF;

#define FVal_NEW_UNINITIALIZED {(float) 0.0, FVal_UNINITIALIZED}
#define FVal_NEW_NEGATIVE_INF {(float) 0.0, FVal_NEGATIVE_INF}
#define FVal_NEW_POSITIVE_INF {(float) 0.0, FVal_POSITIVE_INF}
#define FVal_NEW_ZERO {(float) 0.0, FVal_VALUE}

SVal

- String value.

definition

typedef struct {
    char * value;
    BOOL initialized;
    } SVal_t;

extern BOOL SVal_readVal(SVal_t * pSVal, const char * valueStr);
extern BOOL SVal_initialized(const SVal_t * pSVal);
extern char * SVal_value(const SVal_t * pSVal);
extern void SVal_clear(SVal_t * pSVal);

DVal

- Date value.

definition

typedef struct {
    char * value; /* keep the string around for debugging and output */
    BOOL initialized;
    int year;
    int month;
    int day;
    int hour;
    int minute;
    int timeZoneHours;
    int timeZoneMinutes;
    } DVal_t;

extern BOOL DVal_readVal(DVal_t * pDVal, const char * valueStr);
extern BOOL DVal_initialized(const DVal_t * pDVal);
extern char * DVal_value(const DVal_t * pDVal);
extern void DVal_clear(DVal_t * pDVal);

additional methods

int compare - -1 or 1 for a before or after b, 0 for equivilence

extern int DVal_compare(const DVal_t * a, const DVal_t * b);

Range

- Range of FVals.

definition

typedef struct {
    FVal_t min;
    FVal_t max;
    } Range_t;

methods

rangeToStr - print range to malloced string. This string must be freed by caller
gap - find the difference between a and b

extern char * Range_toStr(Range_t * pRange);
extern FVal_t Range_gap(Range_t * a, Range_t * b);

initializers

#define Range_NEW_UNINITIALIZED {FVal_NEW_UNINITIALIZED, \
				 FVal_NEW_UNINITIALIZED}

Parser

CSParse_parseChunk

CSParse_t - ephemeral parser data, the CSParse structure is defined in CSParse.html.
CSDoMore_t - tells caller whether parseChunk expects more or encountered an error

typedef struct CSParse_s CSParse_t;
typedef enum {CSDoMore_more, CSDoMore_done, CSDoMore_error} CSDoMore_t;
extern CSDoMore_t CSParse_parseChunk (CSParse_t * pCSParse, const char * ptr, 
				      int len, void * pVoid);

Parse callbacks

During parsing, the parser makes callbacks to tell the caller that an error has been encountered or that the parser is reading into a new data structure.

CSParseTC

The TC, or TargetChange, type is a way of itemizing the different targets in a parsable object. It is used in the TargetChangeCallback

typedef unsigned int CSParseTC_t;

StateRet

typedef enum {StateRet_OK = 0, StateRet_DONE = 1, StateRet_WARN = 0x10, 
	      StateRet_WARN_NO_MATCH = 0x11, StateRet_WARN_BAD_PUNCT = 0x12, 
	      StateRet_ERROR = 0x100, StateRet_ERROR_BAD_CHAR = 0x101
} StateRet_t;

TargetChangeCallback

These callbacks keep the caller abreast of what type of object the parser is currently reading. TargetChangeCallbacks are made whenever the parser starts or finishes reading one of these objects. The actual values of targetChange, and what objects they correlate to, can be found in the modules for the object being parsed.

CSLL.html for PICS labels.
CSMR.html for machine-readable service descriptions.
CSUser.html for PICS user profiles.

Example: When reading a CSLabel, the callback will be called with pTargetObject = CSLLTC_SERVICE when reading a service, CSLLTC_LABEL when reading a label, etc.

typedef struct TargetObject_s TargetObject_t;
typedef StateRet_t TargetChangeCallback_t(CSParse_t * pCSParse, 
					 TargetObject_t * pTargetObject, 
					 CSParseTC_t targetChange, BOOL closed,
					 void * pVoid);

ParseErrorHandler

typedef StateRet_t ParseErrorHandler_t(CSParse_t * pCSParse, 
				       const char * token, 
				       char demark, StateRet_t errorCode);

CSList_acceptLabels

get a malloced HTTP Protocol-Request string requesting PICS labels for all services in pServiceList

typedef enum {CSCompleteness_minimal, CSCompleteness_short, 
	      CSCompleteness_full, CSCompleteness_signed} CSCompleteness_t;
extern char * CSList_acceptLabels(HTList * pServiceList, 
				  CSCompleteness_t completeness);

CSList_getLabels

typedef enum {CSOption_generic, CSOption_normal, CSOption_tree, 
	      CSOption_genericTree} CSOption_t;
extern char * CSList_getLabels(HTList * pServiceList, CSOption_t option, 
			       CSCompleteness_t completeness);

CSList_postLabels
