hdf_sort_obj(3) util/neo_hdf.h hdf_sort_obj(3) NAME
hdf_sort_obj - sort the children of an HDF node SYNOPSIS
#include <util/neo_hdf.h> hdf_sort_obj() ARGUMENTS
h - HDF node compareFunc - function which returns 1,0,-1 depending on some criteria. The arguments to this sort function are pointers to pointers to HDF elements. For example: int sortByName(const void *a, const void *b) { HDF **ha = (HDF **)a; HDF **hb = (HDF **)b; * return strcasecmp(hdf_obj_name(*ha), hdf_obj_name(*hb)); } * DESCRIPTION
hdf_sort_obj will sort the children of an HDF node, based on the given comparison function. This function works by creating an array of the pointers for each child object of h, using qsort to sort that array, and then re-ordering the linked list of children to the new order. The qsort compare function uses a pointer to the value in the array, which in our case is a pointer to an HDF struct, so your comparison function should work on HDF ** pointers. RETURN VALUE
None (h children will be sorted) SEE ALSO

hdf_set_valuef(3) util/neo_hdf.h hdf_set_valuef(3) NAME
hdf_set_valuef - Set the value of a named node SYNOPSIS
#include <util/neo_hdf.h> NEOERR* hdf_set_valuef (HDF *hdf, const char *fmt, ...) ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF(2,3); ARGUMENTS
hdf -> the pointer to the hdf dataset fmt -> the name=value printf(3) format string DESCRIPTION
hdf_set_valuef is a convenience function that wraps hdf_set_value. Due to limitations of C, the fmt is in the format "name=value", where we will first format the entire string, and then break it at the first (from the left) equal sign (=) and use the left portion as the name and the right portion as the value. This function is somewhat inefficient in that it first allocates the full name=value, and then the call to hdf_set_value duplicates the value portion, and then we free the name=value. Currently, we don't strip whitespace from the key or value. In the future, this function might work more like reading a single line of an HDF string or file, allowing for attributes and sym- links to be specified... maybe. RETURN VALUE
