Function Documentation

◆ janus_config_add()

int janus_config_add ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent,
janus_config_container * item )

Add an item/category/array instance to a category or array.

Note
If adding to a category and the item/category/array already exists, it is replaced; it is appended if the target is an array instead, where duplicates are accepted.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe category or array to add the item to, if any
[in]itemThe item/category/array to add
Returns
0 if successful, a negative integer otherwise

◆ janus_config_array_create()

janus_config_array * janus_config_array_create ( const char * name)

Method to create a new janus_config_array instance.

Parameters
[in]nameName to give to the array
Returns
A valid janus_config_array instance if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_category_create()

janus_config_category * janus_config_category_create ( const char * name)

Method to create a new janus_config_category instance.

Parameters
[in]nameName to give to the category
Returns
A pointer to a valid janus_config_category instance if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_container_destroy()

void janus_config_container_destroy ( janus_config_container * container)

Helper method to quickly destroy an item, category or array.

Note
This method also destroys anything it contains, if it's a category or array, but will not unlink the object from its parent: this is up to the caller
Parameters
[in]containerThe item/category/array to destroy

◆ janus_config_create()

janus_config * janus_config_create ( const char * name)

Method to create a new, empty, configuration.

Parameters
[in]nameName to give to the configuration
Returns
A pointer to a valid janus_config instance if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_destroy()

void janus_config_destroy ( janus_config * config)

Destroy a configuration container instance.

Parameters
[in]configThe configuration to destroy

◆ janus_config_get()

janus_config_container * janus_config_get ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent,
janus_config_type type,
const char * name )

Helper method to quickly get an item, category, or array.

Note
If the parent container is NULL, the lookup is done at the root. If something is found but type doesn't match (name is an array but we're looking for a category), NULL is returned.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe parent container (category or array), if any
[in]typeThe type of container to look for
[in]nameThe name of the item/category/array to look for
Returns
A pointer to a valid janus_config_container instance if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_get_arrays()

GList * janus_config_get_arrays ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent )

Helper method to return the list of arrays, either in root or from a parent.

Note
The method returns a new GList: it's up to the caller to free it. The values of the list data must NOT be freed, though, as it's just linked from the configuration.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe parent container (category or array), if any
Returns
A pointer to the categories GLib linked list of arrays if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_get_categories()

GList * janus_config_get_categories ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent )

Helper method to return the list of categories, either in root or from a parent.

Note
The method returns a new GList: it's up to the caller to free it. The values of the list data must NOT be freed, though, as it's just linked from the configuration.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe parent container (category or array), if any
Returns
A pointer to the categories GLib linked list of categories if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_get_create()

janus_config_container * janus_config_get_create ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent,
janus_config_type type,
const char * name )

Same as janus_config_get, but creates the element if it doesn't exist.

Note
Nothing is created if type is janus_config_type_any.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe parent container (category or array), if any
[in]typeThe type of container to look for
[in]nameThe name of the item/category/array to look for
Returns
A pointer to a valid janus_config_container instance if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_get_items()

GList * janus_config_get_items ( janus_config * config,
janus_config_container * parent )

Helper method to return the list of plain items, either in root or from a parent.

Note
The method returns a new GList: it's up to the caller to free it. The values of the list data must NOT be freed, though, as it's just linked from the configuration.
Parameters
[in]configThe configuration instance
[in]parentThe parent container (category or array), if any
Returns
A pointer to the categories GLib linked list of items if successful, NULL otherwise

◆ janus_config_item_create()

Parameters
[in]nameName to give to the item
[in]valueValue of the item (optional)
Returns

void janus_config_print_as ( janus_config * config,
int level )

Helper method to print a configuration on the standard output using a different logging level than LOG_VERB.
