Macro Definition Documentation

BU_VLB_NULL

#define BU_VLB_NULL   ((struct bu_vlb *)0)

Definition at line 52 of file vlb.h.

BU_CK_VLB

#define BU_CK_VLB

(

_vp

)

BU_CKMAG(_vp, BU_VLB_MAGIC, "bu_vlb")

assert the integrity of a bu_vlb struct.

Definition at line 57 of file vlb.h.

BU_VLB_INIT

#define BU_VLB_INIT

(

_vp

)

Value:

        { \
        (_vp)->magic = BU_VLB_MAGIC; \
        (_vp)->buf = NULL; \
        (_vp)->bufCapacity = (_vp)->nextByte = 0; \
    }

initializes a bu_vlb struct without allocating any memory.

Definition at line 62 of file vlb.h.

BU_VLB_INIT_ZERO

#define BU_VLB_INIT_ZERO   { BU_VLB_MAGIC, NULL, 0, 0 }

macro suitable for declaration statement initialization of a bu_vlb struct. does not allocate memory.

Definition at line 72 of file vlb.h.

BU_VLB_IS_INITIALIZED

#define BU_VLB_IS_INITIALIZED

(

_vp

)

(((struct bu_vlb *)(_vp) != BU_VLB_NULL) && ((_vp)->magic == BU_VLB_MAGIC))

returns truthfully whether a bu_vlb struct has been initialized. is not reliable unless the struct has been allocated with BU_ALLOC(), bu_calloc(), or a previous call to bu_vlb_init() or BU_VLB_INIT() has been made.

Definition at line 80 of file vlb.h.

Typedef Documentation

bu_vlb_t

typedef struct bu_vlb bu_vlb_t

Definition at line 51 of file vlb.h.

Function Documentation

bu_vlb_init()

void bu_vlb_init ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb )

extern

Initialize the specified bu_vlb structure and mallocs the initial block of memory.

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to an uninitialized bu_vlb structure

bu_vlb_initialize()

void bu_vlb_initialize ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb, size_t  initialSize  )

extern

Initialize the specified bu_vlb structure and mallocs the initial block of memory with the specified size

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to an uninitialized bu_vlb structure
initialSize	The desired initial size of the buffer

bu_vlb_write()

void bu_vlb_write ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb, unsigned char *  start, size_t  len  )

extern

Write some bytes to the end of the bu_vlb structure. If necessary, additional memory will be allocated.

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure to receive the bytes
start	Pointer to the first byte to be copied to the bu_vlb structure
len	The number of bytes to copy to the bu_vlb structure

bu_vlb_reset()

void bu_vlb_reset ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb )

extern

Reset the bu_vlb counter to the start of its byte array. This essentially ignores any bytes currently in the buffer, but does not free any memory.

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure to be reset

bu_vlb_addr()

unsigned char * bu_vlb_addr ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb )

extern

Get a pointer to the byte array held by the bu_vlb structure

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure

Returns

A pointer to the byte array contained by the bu_vlb structure

bu_vlb_buflen()

size_t bu_vlb_buflen ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb )

extern

Return the number of bytes used in the bu_vlb structure

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure

Returns

The number of bytes written to the bu_vlb structure

bu_vlb_free()

void bu_vlb_free ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb )

extern

Free the memory allocated for the byte array in the bu_vlb structure. Also uninitializes the structure.

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure

bu_vlb_print()

void bu_vlb_print ( struct bu_vlb *  vlb, FILE *  fd  )

extern

Write the current byte array from the bu_vlb structure to a file

Parameters

vlb	Pointer to the bu_vlb structure that is the source of the bytes
fd	Pointer to a FILE to receive the bytes

bu_pr_vlb()

void bu_pr_vlb ( const char *  title, const struct bu_vlb *  vlb  )

extern

Print the bytes set in a variable-length byte array.
