    4  * @page c_pathIter Path Iterator API

    6  * @subpage le_pathIter.h "API Reference"

    9  *
   10  * Paths are text strings that contain nodes separated by character separators.  Paths are used in
   11  * many common applications like file system addressing, URLs, etc. so being able to parse them
   12  * is quite important.
   13  *
   14  * The Path Iterator API is intended for general purpose use and supports UTF-8 null-terminated
   15  * strings and multi-character separators.
   16  *
   17  * This API can be used to iterate over paths, traversing the path node-by-node.  Or creating and
   18  * combining paths together while ensuring that the resultant paths are properly normalized.  For
   19  * instance the following path:
   20  *
   21  * @verbatim
   22     /a//path/to/a///some/../place
   23    @endverbatim
   24  *
   25  * Would be normalized to the path:
   26  *
   27  * @verbatim
   28     /a/path/to/a/place
   29    @endverbatim
   30  *
   31  * @section c_pathIter_create Create a Path Iterator
   32  *
   33  * Before iterating over a path, a path object must first be created by calling either
   34  * @c le_pathIter_Create(), or @c le_pathIter_CreateForUnix().  @c le_pathIter_Create() will
   35  * allow you to create an iterator for one of many different path styles.  While
   36  * @c le_pathIter_CreateForUnix() will create an iterator preconfigured for Unix style paths.
   37  *
   38  * All strings to this API must be formatted as UTF-8 null-terminated strings.
   39  *
   40  * When the path object is no longer needed, it can be deleted by calling le_pathIter_Delete().
   41  *
   42  * @section c_pathIter_iterate Iterating a Path
   43  *
   44  * Once an object is created, the nodes in it can be accessed using @c le_pathIter_GoToNext(), or
   45  * @c le_pathIter_GoToPrev().  To start over at the beginning of the path call
   46  * @c le_pathIter_GoToStart().  To position the iterator at the end of the path, use
   47  * @c le_pathIter_GoToEnd().  On creation, the default position of the iterator is at the end of
   48  * the path.
   49  *
   50  * Code sample, iterate over an entire path:
   51  *
   52  * @code
   53  *
   54  * // Create an iterator object, and move it to the front of the path.
   55  * le_pathIter_Ref_t iteratorRef = le_pathIter_CreateForUnix(myPathPtr);
   56  *
   57  * if (le_pathIter_IsEmpty(iteratorRef))
   58  * {
   59  *     return;
   60  * }
   61  *
   62  * le_pathIter_GoToStart(iteratorRef);
   63  *
   64  * // Now go through all of the path nodes and print out each one.
   65  * do
   66  * {
   67  *     char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE] = { 0 };
   68  *
   69  *     if (le_pathIter_GetCurrentNode(iteratorRef, buffer, BUFFER_SIZE) == LE_OK)
   70  *     {
   71  *         printf("%s\n", buffer);
   72  *     }
   73  * }
   74  * while (le_pathIter_GoToNext(iteratorRef) != LE_NOT_FOUND);
   75  *
   76  * // All done with the iterator, so free it now.
   77  * le_pathIter_Delete(iteratorRef);
   78  *
   79  * @endcode
   80  *
   81  * @note @c le_pathIter_GetNextNode() and @c le_pathIter_GetPreviousNode() treat consecutive
   82  *       separators as a single separator.
   83  *
   84  * @section c_pathIter_absoluteRelative Absolute versus Relative Paths
   85  *
   86  * Absolute paths begin with one or more separators.  Relative paths do not begin with a separator.
   87  * @c le_pathIter_IsAbsolute() can be used to determine if the path is absolute or relative.
   88  *
   89  * @section c_pathIter_modifyPath Modifying Paths
   90  *
   91  * In addition to pure iteration, the path iterator can allow you to modify a path.  For instance,
   92  * you can iterate to a node in the path and use @c le_pathIter_Truncate() to truncate everything at
   93  * and after that point.  While you can use @c le_pathIter_Append() to add new path nodes at the end
   94  * of the path.
   95  *
   96  * Take the following code:
   97  *
   98  * @code
   99  *
  100  * le_pathIter_Ref_t iteratorRef = le_pathIter_CreateForUnix("/a/path/to/a/place");
  101  * char fullPath[PATH_SIZE] = { 0 };
  102  *
  103  * le_pathIter_GoToStart(iteratorRef);
  104  *
  105  * le_pathIter_GoToNext(iteratorRef);
  106  * le_pathIter_GoToNext(iteratorRef);
  107  * le_pathIter_GoToNext(iteratorRef);
  108  *
  109  * le_pathIter_Truncate(iteratorRef);
  110  *
  111  * le_pathIter_Append(iteratorRef, "nowhere");
  112  *
  113  * le_pathIter_GetPath(iteratorRef, fullPath, PATH_SIZE);
  114  *
  115  * LE_ASSERT(strcmp(fullPath, "/a/path/to/nowhere") == 0);
  116  *
  117  * @endcode
  118  *
  119  * Note that @c le_pathIter_Append() will also normalize paths as it appends.  So, the following
  120  * example has the same effect as the previous one.
  121  *
  122  * @code
  123  *
  124  * le_pathIter_Ref_t iteratorRef = le_pathIter_CreateForUnix("/a/path/to/a/place");
  125  * char fullPath[PATH_SIZE] = { 0 };
  126  *
  127  * le_pathIter_Append(iteratorRef, "../../nowhere");
  128  * le_pathIter_GetPath(iteratorRef, fullPath, PATH_SIZE);
  129  *
  130  * le_pathIter_GetPath(iteratorRef, fullPath, PATH_SIZE);
  131  *
  132  * LE_ASSERT(strcmp(fullPath, "/a/path/to/nowhere") == 0);
  133  *
  134  * @endcode
