DESCRIPTION

In order to use Cabin, you should include `cabin.h' and `stdlib.h' in the source files. Usually, the following description will be near the beginning of a source file.

A pointer to `CBDATUM' is used as a handle of an extensible datum. A datum handle is opened with the function `cbdatumopen' and closed with `cbdatumclose'. A pointer to `CBLIST' is used as a handle of an array list. A list handle is opened with the function `cblistopen' and closed with `cblistclose'. A pointer to `CBMAP' is used as a handle of a hash map. A map handle is opened with the function `cbmapopen' and closed with `cbmapclose'. A pointer to `CBHEAP' is used as a handle of a heap array. A heap handle is opened with the function `cbheapopen' and closed with `cbheapclose'. You should not refer directly to any member of each handles.

The external variable `cbfatalfunc' is the pointer to call back function for handling a fatal error.

extern void (*cbfatalfunc)(const char *message);

The argument specifies the error message. The initial value of this variable is `NULL'. If the value is `NULL', the default function is called when a fatal error occurs. A fatal error occurs when memory allocation is failed.

The function `cbmalloc' is used in order to allocate a region on memory.

void *cbmalloc(size_t size);

`size' specifies the size of the region. The return value is the pointer to the allocated region. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

The function `cbrealloc' is used in order to re-allocate a region on memory.

void *cbrealloc(void *ptr, size_t size);

`ptr' specifies the pointer to a region. `size' specifies the size of the region. The return value is the pointer to the re-allocated region. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

The function `cbmemdup' is used in order to duplicate a region on memory.

char *cbmemdup(const char *ptr, int size);

`ptr' specifies the pointer to a region. `size' specifies the size of the region. If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'. The return value is the pointer to the allocated region of the duplicate. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

The function `cbfree' is used in order to free a region on memory.

void cbfree(void *ptr);

`ptr' specifies the pointer to a region. If it is `NULL', this function has no effect. Although this function is just a wrapper of `free' call, this is useful in applications using another package of the `malloc' series.

The function `cbglobalgc' is used in order to register the pointer or handle of an object to the global garbage collector.

void cbglobalgc(void *ptr, void (*func)(void *));

`ptr' specifies the pointer or handle of an object. `func' specifies the pointer to a function to release resources of the object. Its argument is the pointer or handle of the object to release. This function assures that resources of an object are released when the process exits normally by returning from the `main' function or calling the `exit' function.

The function `cbggcsweep' is used in order to exercise the global garbage collector explicitly.

void cbggcsweep(void);

Note that you should not use objects registered to the global garbage collector any longer after calling this function. Because the global garbage collector is initialized and you can register new objects into it.

The function `cbvmemavail' is used in order to check availability of allocation of the virtual memory.

int cbvmemavail(size_t size);

`size' specifies the size of region to be allocated newly. The return value is true if allocation should be success, or false if not.

The function `cbisort' is used in order to sort an array using insert sort.

void cbisort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));

`base' specifies the pointer to an array. `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array. `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing function. The two arguments specify the pointers of elements. The comparing function should returns positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal. Insert sort is useful only if most elements have been sorted already.

The function `cbssort' is used in order to sort an array using shell sort.

void cbssort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));

`base' specifies the pointer to an array. `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array. `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing function. The two arguments specify the pointers of elements. The comparing function should returns positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal. If most elements have been sorted, shell sort may be faster than heap sort or quick sort.

The function `cbhsort' is used in order to sort an array using heap sort.

void cbhsort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));

`base' specifies the pointer to an array. `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array. `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing function. The two arguments specify the pointers of elements. The comparing function should returns positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal. Although heap sort is robust against bias of input, quick sort is faster in most cases.

The function `cbqsort' is used in order to sort an array using quick sort.

void cbqsort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));

`base' specifies the pointer to an array. `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array. `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing function. The two arguments specify the pointers of elements. The comparing function should returns positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal. Being sensitive to bias of input, quick sort is the fastest sorting algorithm.

The function `cbstricmp' is used in order to compare two strings with case insensitive evaluation.

int cbstricmp(const char *astr, const char *bstr);

`astr' specifies the pointer of one string. `astr' specifies the pointer of the other string. The return value is positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equivalent. Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

The function `cbstrfwmatch' is used in order to check whether a string begins with a key.

int cbstrfwmatch(const char *str, const char *key);

`str' specifies the pointer of a target string. `key' specifies the pointer of a forward matching key string. The return value is true if the target string begins with the key, else, it is false.

The function `cbstrfwimatch' is used in order to check whether a string begins with a key, with case insensitive evaluation.

int cbstrfwimatch(const char *str, const char *key);

`str' specifies the pointer of a target string. `key' specifies the pointer of a forward matching key string. The return value is true if the target string begins with the key, else, it is false. Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

The function `cbstrbwmatch' is used in order to check whether a string ends with a key.

int cbstrbwmatch(const char *str, const char *key);

`str' specifies the pointer of a target string. `key' specifies the pointer of a backward matching key string. The return value is true if the target string ends with the key, else, it is false.

The function `cbstrbwimatch' is used in order to check whether a string ends with a key, with case insensitive evaluation.

int cbstrbwimatch(const char *str, const char *key);

`str' specifies the pointer of a target string. `key' specifies the pointer of a backward matching key string. The return value is true if the target string ends with the key, else, it is false. Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

The function `cbstrstrkmp' is used in order to locate a substring in a string using KMP method.

char *cbstrstrkmp(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

`haystack' specifies the pointer of a target string. `needle' specifies the pointer of a substring to be found. The return value is the pointer to the beginning of the substring or `NULL' if the substring is not found. In most cases, `strstr' as a built-in function of the compiler is faster than this function.

The function `cbstrstrkmp' is used in order to locate a substring in a string using BM method.

char *cbstrstrbm(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

`haystack' specifies the pointer of a target string. `needle' specifies the pointer of a substring to be found. The return value is the pointer to the beginning of the substring or `NULL' if the substring is not found.

The function `cbdatumprintf' is used in order to perform formatted output into a datum.

void cbdatumprintf(CBDATUM *datum, const char *format, ...);

`format' specifies a printf-like format string. The conversion character `%' can be used with such flag characters as `s', `d', `o', `u', `x', `X', `c', `e', `E', `f', `g', `G', `@', `?', `:', `%'. `@' works as with `s' but escapes meta characters of XML. `?' works as with `s' but escapes meta characters of URL. `:' works as with `s' but performs MIME encoding as UTF-8. The other conversion character work as with each original.

The function `cbdatumtomalloc' is used in order to convert a datum to an allocated region.

char *cbdatumtomalloc(CBDATUM *datum, int *sp);

`datum' specifies a datum handle. `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. The return value is the pointer to the region of the datum. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. Because the region of the original datum is released, it should not be released again.

If it is `NULL', it is not used. The return value is the pointer to the region of the element. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. If `index' is equal to or more than the number of elements, the return value is `NULL'.

char *cblistpop(CBLIST *list, int *sp);

`list' specifies a list handle. `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. The return value is the pointer to the region of the value. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. If the list is empty, the return value is `NULL'.

The return value is the pointer to the region of the value. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. If the list is empty, the return value is `NULL'.

The function `cblistinsert' is used in order to add an element at the specified location of a list.

void cblistinsert(CBLIST *list, int index, const char *ptr, int size);

If it is `NULL', it is not used. The return value is the pointer to the region of the value. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. If `index' is equal to or more than the number of elements, no element is removed and the return value is `NULL'.

The function `cblistover' is used in order to overwrite an element at the specified location of a list.

If it is `NULL', it is not used. `mp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the number of missing characters by failure of conversion is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. If successful, the return value is the pointer to the result object, else, it is `NULL'. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. This function is available only if QDBM was built with ICONV enabled.

The function `cbencname' is used in order to detect the encoding of a string automatically.

const char *cbencname(const char *ptr, int size);

`ptr' specifies the pointer to a region. `size' specifies the size of the region. If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'. The return value is the string of the encoding name of the string. As it stands, US-ASCII, ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, CP932, EUC-JP, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE, and UTF-16LE are supported. If none of them matches, ISO-8859-1 is selected. This function is available only if QDBM was built with ICONV enabled.

The function `cbjetlag' is used in order to get the jet lag of the local time in seconds.

int cbjetlag(void);

The return value is the jet lag of the local time in seconds.

The function `cbcalendar' is used in order to get the Gregorian calendar of a time.

void cbcalendar(time_t t, int jl, int *yearp, int *monp, int *dayp, int *hourp, int *minp, int *secp);

`t' specifies a source time. If it is negative, the current time is specified. `jl' specifies the jet lag of a location in seconds. `yearp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the year is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. `monp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the month is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. 1 means January and 12 means December. `dayp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the day of the month is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. `hourp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the hours is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. `minp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the minutes is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. `secp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the seconds is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used.

The function `cbdayofweek' is used in order to get the day of week of a date.

int cbdayofweek(int year, int mon, int day);

`year' specifies the year of a date. `mon' specifies the month of the date. `day' specifies the day of the date. The return value is the day of week of the date. 0 means Sunday and 6 means Saturday.

The function `cbdatestrwww' is used in order to get the string for a date in W3CDTF.

char *cbdatestrwww(time_t t, int jl);

`t' specifies a source time. If it is negative, the current time is specified. `jl' specifies the jet lag of a location in seconds. The return value is the string of the date in W3CDTF (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ddTZD). Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

The function `cbdatestrhttp' is used in order to get the string for a date in RFC 1123 format.

char *cbdatestrhttp(time_t t, int jl);

`t' specifies a source time. If it is negative, the current time is specified. `jl' specifies the jet lag of a location in seconds. The return value is the string of the date in RFC 1123 format (Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY hh:mm:dd TZD). Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

The function `cbstrmktime' is used in order to get the time value of a date string in decimal, hexadecimal, W3CDTF, or RFC 822 (1123).

time_t cbstrmktime(const char *str);

`str' specifies a date string in decimal, hexadecimal, W3CDTF, or RFC 822 (1123). The return value is the time value of the date or -1 if the format is invalid. Decimal can be trailed by "s" for in seconds, "m" for in minutes, "h" for in hours, and "d" for in days.

The function `cbproctime' is used in order to get user and system processing times.

void cbproctime(double *usrp, double *sysp);

`usrp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the user processing time is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. The unit of time is seconds. `sysp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the system processing time is assigned. If it is `NULL', it is not used. The unit of time is seconds.
