Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

#define AV_ESCAPE_FLAG_STRICT   0x02

Escape only specified special characters.

Without this flag, escape also any characters that may be considered special by av_get_token(), such as the single quote.

Definition at line 277 of file avstring.h.

Referenced by av_bprint_escape(), and main().

#define AV_ESCAPE_FLAG_WHITESPACE   0x01

Consider spaces special and escape them even in the middle of the string.

This is equivalent to adding the whitespace characters to the special characters lists, except it is guaranteed to use the exact same list of whitespace characters as the rest of libavutil.

Print arguments following specified format into a large enough auto allocated buffer.

It is similar to GNU asprintf().

Returns
the allocated string
Note
You have to free the string yourself with av_free().
const char* av_basename ( const char *  path)

Thread safe basename.

Parameters
paththe path, on DOS both \ and / are considered separators.
Returns
pointer to the basename substring.

int av_escape ( char **  dst,
const char *  src,

Escape string in src, and put the escaped string in an allocated string in *dst, which must be freed with av_free().

Parameters
dstpointer where an allocated string is put
srcstring to escape, must be non-NULL
special_charsstring containing the special characters which need to be escaped, can be NULL
modeescape mode to employ, see AV_ESCAPE_MODE_* macros. Any unknown value for mode will be considered equivalent to AV_ESCAPE_MODE_BACKSLASH, but this behaviour can change without notice.
flagsflags which control how to escape, see AV_ESCAPE_FLAG_ macros
Returns
the length of the allocated string, or a negative error code in case of error

)

Locate the first case-independent occurrence in the string haystack of the string needle.

A zero-length string needle is considered to match at the start of haystack.

This function is a case-insensitive version of the standard strstr().

Parameters
haystackstring to search in
needlestring to search for
Returns
pointer to the located match within haystack or a null pointer if no match

size_t av_strlcat ( char *  dst,
const char *  src,
size_t  size 
)

Append the string src to the string dst, but to a total length of no more than size - 1 bytes, and null-terminate dst.

This function is similar to BSD strlcat(), but differs when size <= strlen(dst).

Parameters
dstdestination buffer
srcsource string
sizesize of destination buffer
Returns
the total length of src and dst
Warning
since the return value use the length of src and dst, these absolutely must be a properly 0-terminated strings, otherwise this will read beyond the end of the buffer and possibly crash.

size_t av_strlcatf ( char *  dst,
size_t  size,
const char *  fmt,

Append output to a string, according to a format.

Never write out of the destination buffer, and always put a terminating 0 within the buffer.

Parameters
dstdestination buffer (string to which the output is appended)
sizetotal size of the destination buffer
fmtprintf-compatible format string, specifying how the following parameters are used
Returns
the length of the string that would have been generated if enough space had been available
size_t av_strlcpy ( char *  dst,
const char *  src,
size_t  size 
)

Copy the string src to dst, but no more than size - 1 bytes, and null-terminate dst.

This function is the same as BSD strlcpy().

Parameters
dstdestination buffer
srcsource string
sizesize of destination buffer
Returns
the length of src
Warning
since the return value is the length of src, src absolutely must be a properly 0-terminated string, otherwise this will read beyond the end of the buffer and possibly crash.

char* av_strnstr ( const char *  haystack,
const char *  needle,
size_t  hay_length 
)

Locate the first occurrence of the string needle in the string haystack where not more than hay_length characters are searched.

A zero-length string needle is considered to match at the start of haystack.

This function is a length-limited version of the standard strstr().

Parameters

If it is, *ptr is set to the address of the first character in str after the prefix.

Parameters
strinput string
pfxprefix to test
ptrupdated if the prefix is matched inside str
Returns
non-zero if the prefix matches, zero otherwise

char* av_strtok ( char *  s,
const char *  delim,
char **  saveptr 
)

Split the string into several tokens which can be accessed by successive calls to av_strtok().

A token is defined as a sequence of characters not belonging to the set specified in delim.

On the first call to av_strtok(), s should point to the string to parse, and the value of saveptr is ignored. In subsequent calls, s should be NULL, and saveptr should be unchanged since the previous call.

This function is similar to strtok_r() defined in POSIX.1.

Parameters
sthe string to parse, may be NULL
delim0-terminated list of token delimiters, must be non-NULL
saveptruser-provided pointer which points to stored information necessary for av_strtok() to continue scanning the same string. saveptr is updated to point to the next character after the first delimiter found, or to NULL if the string was terminated
Returns
the found token, or NULL when no token is found
