} xmlDict;
void xmlDictCleanup (void)
DEPRECATED: This function is a no-op. Call xmlCleanupParser to free global state but see the warnings there. xmlCleanupParser should be only called once at program exit. In most cases, you don't have call cleanup functions at all.
xmlDictPtr xmlDictCreate (void)
Create a new dictionary
| Returns: | the newly created dictionary, or NULL if an error occurred. |
xmlDictPtr xmlDictCreateSub (xmlDictPtr sub)
Create a new dictionary, inheriting strings from the read-only dictionary @sub. On lookup, strings are first searched in the new dictionary, then in @sub, and if not found are created in the new dictionary.
| sub: | an existing dictionary |
| Returns: | the newly created dictionary, or NULL if an error occurred. |
const xmlChar * xmlDictExists (xmlDictPtr dict,
const xmlChar * name,
int len)
Check if a string exists in the dictionary.
| dict: | the dictionary |
| name: | the name of the userdata |
| len: | the length of the name, if -1 it is recomputed |
| Returns: | the internal copy of the name or NULL if not found. |
void xmlDictFree (xmlDictPtr dict)
Free the hash @dict and its contents. The userdata is deallocated with @f if provided.
| dict: | the dictionary |
size_t xmlDictGetUsage (xmlDictPtr dict)
Get how much memory is used by a dictionary for strings Added in 2.9.0
| dict: | the dictionary |
| Returns: | the amount of strings allocated |
const xmlChar * xmlDictLookup (xmlDictPtr dict,
const xmlChar * name,
int len)
Lookup a string and add it to the dictionary if it wasn't found.
| dict: | dictionary |
| name: | string key |
| len: | length of the key, if -1 it is recomputed |
| Returns: | the interned copy of the string or NULL if a memory allocation failed. |
int xmlDictOwns (xmlDictPtr dict,
const xmlChar * str)
check if a string is owned by the dictionary
| dict: | the dictionary |
| str: | the string |
| Returns: | 1 if true, 0 if false and -1 in case of error -1 in case of error |
const xmlChar * xmlDictQLookup (xmlDictPtr dict,
const xmlChar * prefix,
const xmlChar * name)
Lookup the QName @prefix:@name and add it to the dictionary if it wasn't found.
| dict: | the dictionary |
| prefix: | the prefix |
| name: | the name |
| Returns: | the interned copy of the string or NULL if a memory allocation failed. |
int xmlDictReference (xmlDictPtr dict)
Increment the reference counter of a dictionary
| dict: | the dictionary |
| Returns: | 0 in case of success and -1 in case of error |
size_t xmlDictSetLimit (xmlDictPtr dict,
size_t limit)
Set a size limit for the dictionary Added in 2.9.0
| dict: | the dictionary |
| limit: | the limit in bytes |
| Returns: | the previous limit of the dictionary or 0 |
int xmlDictSize (xmlDictPtr dict)
Query the number of elements installed in the hash @dict.
| dict: | the dictionary |
| Returns: | the number of elements in the dictionary or -1 in case of error |
