FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
void AdmError_create (AdmError ** error, int num, const char * format, ...)
Constructor/allocator for our AdmError structure. Fails safely and silently if error is NULL.
Parameters:
error The pointer to the AdmError pointer in which the newly allocated AdmError structure will be returned.
num The integer error code of the new AdmError structure.
format The output format in printf(3) format.
... The variable arguments for the printf(3) format.
void AdmError_ref (AdmError * error)
Parameters:
error The pointer to the AdmError structure to be deallocated.
void AdmError_unref (AdmError * error)
Decrements the reference count of the given AdmError function, and deallocates it when the count reaches 0. This function must only be
called by reference holders.
Parameters:
error The pointer to the AdmError structure to be deallocated.
const char* AdmError_strerr (AdmError * error)
Returns the error string of the given AdmError structure. The error string returned is guaranteed for only as long as the AdmError is
refed. Users that want a copy, should make one.
Parameters:
error The pointer to the AdmError structure.
Returns:
The character string that contains the description of the error of the given AdmError structure.
Note:
Based on the strerror(3) *NIX C library.
int AdmError_errno (AdmError * error)
Returns the error code of the given AdmError structure.
Parameters:
error The pointer to the AdmError structure.
Returns:
The int error code of the given AdmError structure. See admerror.h for a list of valid error code.
Note:
Based on errno(3) *NIX C library.

void AdmRefStr_unref (AdmRefStr * refstr)
size_t AdmRefStr_len (AdmRefStr * refstr)
AdmRefStr* AdmRefStr_get (const char * str, int force)
Parameters:
str the string to match the AdmRefStr to
force if we should create a matching AdmRefStr if one does not already exist
Returns:
the unique matching AdmRefStr, or NULL if there is no match
AdmRefStr* AdmRefStr_nget (const char * str, size_t len, int force)
Parameters:
str the string to match the AdmRefStr to
len the lenght of the string, as strlen would report it
force if we should create a matching AdmRefStr if one does not already exist
Returns:
the unique matching AdmRefStr, or NULL if there is no match
AdmContext* AdmContext_new (const char * name, unsigned int serial, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_new: create a new AdmContext element.
This function creates a new AdmContext element. Its root id node will be initialized using the passed name and serial. The returned
AdmContext will be given a ref for the caller.
Parameters:
name The name of the new AdmContext.
serial The serial number of the new AdmContext.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The pointer to the new AdmContext element or NULL on failure.
AdmContext* AdmContext_ref (AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_ref: ref an AdmContext element.
Increases the refcount of an AdmContext element
Parameters:
context
The AdmContext to increase the reference to.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The AdmContext
void AdmContext_unref (AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_unref: unref an AdmContext element.
Unrefs an AdmContext. This will free the context, and all its children, when the ref count reaches 0. It is an error for an entity which
does not own a ref to a context to call AdmContext_unref. AdmContext refs can be acquired only by calls to AdmContext_new, AdmContext_copy,
AdmContext_merge, AdmContext_fromXML, and AdmContext_ref.
Parameters:
context
The AdmContext to decrease the reference to.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
AdmContext* AdmContext_copy (AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
This function creates a full depth copy of an AdmContext element. It is one of the AdmContext refing functions.
Parameters:
context
The pointer to the AdmContext element to be copied.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The pointer to the copied AdmContext element.
AdmContext* AdmContext_merge (const char * name, unsigned int serial, AdmContext * contextA, AdmContext * contextB, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_merge: merge two AdmContext elements into a third.
This is the heart function of the Alchemist. It performs the context merge algorithm upon two contexts, and returns the result. It is also
one of the refing functions, as the returned child is refed for the caller.
Parameters:
name The name of the new AdmContext.
serial The serial number of the new AdmContext.
contextA
The pointer to the first AdmContext element.
contextB
The pointer to the second AdmContext element.
error Optional pointer to an AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The pointer to the new AdmContext element which contains the result of the merge operation of contextA and contextB or NULL on failure.
void AdmContext_flatten (AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_flatten: flatten an AdmContext element.
This function strips all masks and AdmCopy elements from an AdmContext element.
Parameters:
context
The pointer to the AdmContext element.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
void AdmContext_strip (AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
AdmContext_strip: strip an AdmContext's id tree.
This function strips all ids except for the root id from an AdmContext's id tree.
Parameters:
context

AdmContext* AdmBlackBox_read (AdmBlackBox * box, AdmError ** error)
Tries to read the most current context from the given AdmBlackBox and return it. The BlackBox may not be able to be readable in which case
NULL will be returned. Also it may allow caching and do so transparently.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox to read from.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The pointer to the AdmContext retrived through the given box.
int AdmBlackBox_listSerial (AdmBlackBox * box, unsigned int * array, unsigned int array_len, unsigned int top_serial, AdmError ** error)
Creates a list of serial numbers of the given AdmBlackBox subject to the constraints.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox to get the list of serial numbers from.
array The pointer to the preallocated array of int values to be filled with the serial numbers.
array_len
The size of the perallocated array.
top_serial
The highest serial number that we request. Only serial numbers below that will be returned. Use 0 to request the newest (highest)
serial numbers.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The amount of serial numbers filled in. Always less or equal to the array length.
Note:
The list of serial numbers can partially come from the local cached BlackBoxes as well.
AdmContext* AdmBlackBox_readSerial (AdmBlackBox * box, unsigned int serial, AdmError ** error)
Reads a context from the given AdmBlackBox with the specified serial number.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox to read the context from.
serial The serial number of the context we request.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The pointer to the AdmContext retrived through the given box or NULL if no context with that serial number exists.
int AdmBlackBox_write (AdmBlackBox * box, AdmContext * context, AdmError ** error)
Write the given AdmContext to the given AdmBlackBox. Does automatic caching if the given AdmBlackBox supports it.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox to write to.
context
The AdmContext to be written to the box.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
0 on success, all other values indicate an error.
unsigned int AdmBlackBox_getMark (AdmBlackBox * box, const char * mark, AdmError ** error)
Get the serial number of the given AdmBlackBox for the given mark. The whole business with marks allows us to 'tag' cached boxes and to
identify if they are dirty or not.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox from which to get the marked serial.
mark The mark string.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
The serial number of the marked cached box or 0 if no marked cached box exists.
int AdmBlackBox_setMark (AdmBlackBox * box, const char * mark, AdmError ** error)
Mark the given AdmBlackBox. The serial number is extracted from the given AdmBlackBox automatically. Any existing mark will be overwritten.
If an AdmBlackBox is cached, then it is possible to mark it. This provides a mechanism for marking the top serial number in the cache down
at a given mark, which is a string; allowing various applications to check to see if an interface has changed since the last time the
accessed by doing something along the lines of:
AdmBlackBox_setMark(box_p, 'app1_mark_string', error);
...
int i;
if ((AdmBlackBok_listSerial(box_p, &i, 1, 0, NULL) &&
(i != AdmBlackBox_getMark(box_p, 'app1_mark_string', NULL)) {
...
}
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox which we want to mark.
mark The mark string.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
0 on success, all other values indicate an error.
int AdmBlackBox_clearMark (AdmBlackBox * box, const char * mark, AdmError ** error)
Clear the mark for the given AdmBlackBox.
Parameters:
box The AdmBlackBox where we want to clear its mark.
mark The mark string.
error Optional pointer to AdmError pointer.
Returns:
0 on success, all other values indicate an error.
AdmRefStr* AdmSwitchboard_getSwbDir (AdmError ** error)
Gets the swb directory the alchemist is currently using.
Parameters:
error an optional pointer to an AdmError pointer
Returns:
the swb dir
Note:
you do not own the return stritg, and must not free it
int AdmSwitchboard_setSwbDir (const char * path, AdmError ** error)
Sets the swb directory the alchemist is currently using.
Parameters:
path the swb directory you want to use
error an optional pointer to an AdmError pointer
Returns:
-1 on failure, 0 on succes
Note:
passing NULL as the path resets the path to the default
