This group discusses the functions that provide string buffers management.

Remarks:: The String Buffer data type is designed to be a mutable string, allowing to append, prepend, or insert a string into a buffer.

Function Documentation

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str
	)

Appends a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

This function appends str to buf. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_append_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant. If buf can't append it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	str	The string to append

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

See also:: eina_strbuf_append(); eina_strbuf_append_length()

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_char	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		char	c
	)

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

This function inserts c to buf. If it cannot insert it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	c	The character to append

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_escaped	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str
	)

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

This function escapes and then appends the string str to buf. If str cannot be appended, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise, EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	str	The string to append

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_length	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	length
	)

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

This function appends str to buf. str must be at most of size length. It is slightly faster than eina_strbuf_append() as it does not compute the size of str. It is useful when dealing with strings of known size, such as eina_stringshare. If buf can't append it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	str	The string to append
[in]	length	The exact length to use

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

See also:: eina_stringshare_length(); eina_strbuf_append(); eina_strbuf_append_n()

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_n	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	maxlen
	)

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

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 it is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_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). If str cannot be appended, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	str	The string to append
[in]	maxlen	The maximum number of characters to append

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

See also:: eina_strbuf_append(); eina_strbuf_append_length()

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_append_printf	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	fmt,
			...
	)

Appends a string to a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

This function appends the string defined by the format fmt to buf. fmt must be of a valid format from the printf family of functions. If it can't insert it, EINA_FALSE is returned, otherwise EINA_TRUE is returned.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to append to
[in]	fmt	The string to append

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, otherwise EINA_FALSE on failure

Eina_Bool eina_strbuf_insert	(	Eina_Strbuf *	buf,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	pos
	)

Inserts a string into a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

This function inserts str into buf at position pos. It computes the length of str, so is slightly slower than eina_strbuf_insert_length(). If the length is known beforehand, consider using that variant. If buf can't insert it, EINA_FALSE

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	buf	The string buffer to insert into

		size_t	length,
		size_t	pos
	)

Inserts a string of exact length into a buffer, reallocating as necessary.

This function inserts str into buf. str must be at most of size length. It is slightly faster than eina_strbuf_insert() as it does not compute the size of str.
