gck_attributes_new_empty ()

GckAttributes *
gck_attributes_new_empty (gulong first_type,
                          ...);

Creates an GckAttributes array with empty attributes

Terminate the argument list with GCK_INVALID.

The returned set of attributes is floating, and should either be passed to another gck library function which consumes this floating reference, or if you wish to keep these attributes around you should ref them with gck_attributes_ref_sink() and unref them later with gck_attributes_unref().

gck_attributes_at ()

const GckAttribute *
gck_attributes_at (GckAttributes *attrs,
                   guint index);

Get attribute at the specified index in the attribute array.

Use gck_attributes_count() to determine how many attributes are in the array.

gck_attributes_find ()

const GckAttribute *
gck_attributes_find (GckAttributes *attrs,
                     gulong attr_type);

Find an attribute with the specified type in the array.

gck_attributes_find_boolean ()

gboolean
gck_attributes_find_boolean (GckAttributes *attrs,
                             gulong attr_type,
                             gboolean *value);

Find an attribute with the specified type in the array.

The attribute (if found) must be of the right size to store a boolean value (ie: CK_BBOOL). If the attribute is marked invalid then it will be treated as not found.

gck_attributes_find_ulong ()

gboolean
gck_attributes_find_ulong (GckAttributes *attrs,
                           gulong attr_type,
                           gulong *value);

Find an attribute with the specified type in the array.

The attribute (if found) must be of the right size to store a unsigned long value (ie: CK_ULONG). If the attribute is marked invalid then it will be treated as not found.

gck_attributes_find_string ()

gboolean
gck_attributes_find_string (GckAttributes *attrs,
                            gulong attr_type,
                            gchar **value);

Find an attribute with the specified type in the array.

If the attribute is marked invalid then it will be treated as not found. The resulting string will be null-terminated, and must be freed by the caller using g_free().

gck_attributes_find_date ()

gboolean
gck_attributes_find_date (GckAttributes *attrs,
                          gulong attr_type,
                          GDate *value);

Find an attribute with the specified type in the array.

The attribute (if found) must be of the right size to store a date value (ie: CK_DATE). If the attribute is marked invalid then it will be treated as not found.

gck_attributes_count ()

gulong
gck_attributes_count (GckAttributes *attrs);

Get the number of attributes in this attribute array.

gck_attributes_ref ()

GckAttributes *
gck_attributes_ref (GckAttributes *attrs);

Reference this attributes array.

gck_attributes_ref_sink ()

GckAttributes *
gck_attributes_ref_sink (GckAttributes *attrs);

GckAttributes uses a floating reference count system. gck_builder_end() and gck_attributes_new_empty() both return floating references.

Calling gck_attributes_ref_sink() on a GckAttributes with a floating reference will convert the floating reference into a full reference. Calling gck_attributes_ref_sink() on a non-floating GckAttributes results in an additional normal reference being added.

In other words, if the attrs is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference. If the attrs is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

All Gck library functions that assume ownership of floating references are documented as such. Essentially any Gck function that performs an operation using a GckAttributes argument rather than operating on the atributes themselves, will accept a floating reference.

gck_attributes_unref ()

void
gck_attributes_unref (gpointer attrs);

Unreference this attribute array.

When all outstanding references are gone, the array will be freed.

gck_attributes_contains ()

gboolean
gck_attributes_contains (GckAttributes *attrs,
                         const GckAttribute *match);

gck_attributes_to_string ()

gchar *
gck_attributes_to_string (GckAttributes *attrs);

Print out attributes to a string in aform that's useful for debugging or logging.

The format of the string returned may change in the future.

gck_attributes_dump ()

void
gck_attributes_dump (GckAttributes *attrs);

Dump the attributes using g_printerr().

gck_builder_init ()

void
gck_builder_init (GckBuilder *builder);

                       GckBuilderFlags flags);

gck_builder_new ()

GckBuilder *
gck_builder_new (GckBuilderFlags flags);

Create a new GckBuilder not allocated on the stack, so it can be shared across a single scope, and referenced / unreferenced.

gck_builder_set_data ()

void
gck_builder_set_data (GckBuilder *builder,
                      gulong attr_type,

The attr attribute must have been created or owned by the Gck library. If you call this function on an arbitrary GckAttribute that is allocated on the stack or elsewhere, then this will result in undefined behavior.

As an optimization, the attribute memory value is automatically shared between the attribute and the builder.

The GckBuilder will be cleared after this function call, and it is no longer necessary to use gck_builder_clear() on it, although it is also permitted. The builder may be used again to build another set of attributes after this function call.

The returned set of attributes is floating, and should either be passed to another gck library function which consumes this floating reference, or if you wish to keep these attributes around you should ref them with gck_attributes_ref_sink() and unref them later with gck_attributes_unref().

gck_builder_clear ()

void
gck_builder_clear (GckBuilder *builder);

Clear the builder and release all allocated memory. The builder may be used again to build another set of attributes after this function call.

GckAttributes

typedef struct _GckAttributes GckAttributes;

A set of GckAttribute structures.

struct GckBuilder

struct GckBuilder {
};

A builder for a set of attributes. Add attributes to a builder, and then use gck_builder_end() to get the completed GckAttributes.

The fields of GckBuilder are private and not to be accessed directly.

enum GckBuilderFlags

Flags to be used with a gck_builder_init_full() and gck_builder_new().

GCK_BUILDER_INIT

#define              GCK_BUILDER_INIT                       { { 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 } }

Values that can be assigned to a GckBuilder allocated on the stack.
