NAME

       stConvertPattern, stSubstituteString, stStrtok, stStrEnter - string handling

SYNOPSIS

       #include <config.h>
       #include <sttk.h>

       char* stConvertPattern (char *pattern);

       char* stSubstituteString (char *original, char *old, char *new);

       char* stStrtok (char *string);

       char* stStrEnter (char *string);

DESCRIPTION

       stConvertPattern converts sh(1) filename generation patterns to ed(1) string patterns.

       question (?)
	       gets converted to period (.)

       asterisk (*)
	       gets converted to a period followed by an asterisk (.*)

       period (.)
	       will be escaped by a backslash character (.).

       exclam (!)
	       gets converted to circumflex (^) if it follows an left bracket ([).  Otherwise it remains unmodified.

       The whole pattern will be enclosed in a circumflex (^) as leftmost an a dollar sign ($) as rightmost character.

       stSubstituteString replaces all occurrences of substring old in original by string new. It returns a pointer to an allocated string that is
       the result of this operation. Returns NULL if anything goes seriously wrong.

       stStrtok considers the string string to consist of a sequence of zero or more text tokens separated by whitespace.  The	first  call  (with
       pointer	string	specified) returns a pointer to the first character of the first token, and will have written a null character into string
       immediately following the returned token. The function keeps track of its position between separate calls, so that subsequent calls  (which
       must  be  made with the string argument set to NULL) will work through the string immediately following that token.  In this way subsequent
       calls will work through the string until no tokens remain. When no token remains in string, a NULL pointer is returned.

       stStrEnter adds the given string to an internal string table and returns a pointer to appropriate string table  entry.  Equal  strings  are
       mapped to equal locations in the table. Equality of two strings in the string table can be checked by simple pointer comparison.

NAME

       sttk_intro - introduction to the ShapeTools Toolkit Library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <config.h>
       #include <sttk.h>

       char* stVersion (void);

DESCRIPTION

       The ShapeTools Toolkit library (sttk) is a set of functions to be used in various parts of the ShapeTools configuration management toolkit.

       Inclusion of config.h may be omitted when atfs.h is included.

       stVersion returns a version identification string for the ShapeTools Toolkit library.
