Chartable(3m17n) The m17n Library Chartable(3m17n) NAME
Chartable - Chartable objects and API for them. Typedefs typedef struct MCharTable MCharTable Type of chartables. Functions MCharTable * mchartable (MSymbol key, void *default_value) Create a new chartable. int mchartable_min_char (MCharTable *table) Return the minimum character whose value is set in a chartabe. int mchartable_max_char (MCharTable *table) Return the maximum character whose value is set in a chartabe. void * mchartable_lookup (MCharTable *table, int c) Return the assigned value of a character in a chartable. int mchartable_set (MCharTable *table, int c, void *val) Assign a value to a character in a chartable. int mchartable_set_range (MCharTable *table, int from, int to, void *val) Assign a value to the characters in the specified range. void mchartable_range (MCharTable *table, int *from, int *to) Search for characters that have non-default value. int mchartable_map (MCharTable *table, void *ignore, void(*func)(int, int, void *, void *), void *func_arg) Call a function for characters in a chartable. Variables MSymbol Mchar_table Symbol whose name is 'char-table'. Detailed Description Chartable objects and API for them. The m17n library supports enormous number of characters. Thus, if attributes of each character are to be stored in a simple array, such an array would be impractically big. The attributes usually used, however, are often assigned only to a range of characters. Even when all characters have attributes, characters of consecutive character code tend to have the same attribute values. The m17n library utilizes this tendency to store characters and their attribute values efficiently in an object called Chartable. Although a chartable object is not a simple array, application programs can handle a chartable as if it is an array. Attribute values of a character can be obtained by accessing a Chartable for the attribute with the character code of the specified character. A chartable is a managed object. Typedef Documentation typedef struct MCharTable MCharTable Type of chartables. The type MCharTable is for a chartable objects. Its internal structure is concealed from application programs. Variable Documentation MSymbol Mchar_table Symbol whose name is 'char-table'. The symbol Mchar_table has the name 'char-table'.

Symbol(3m17n) The m17n Library Symbol(3m17n) NAME
Symbol - Symbol objects and API for them. Typedefs typedef struct MSymbolStruct * MSymbol Type of symbols. Functions MSymbol msymbol (const char *name) Get a symbol. MSymbol msymbol_as_managing_key (const char *name) Create a managing key. int msymbol_is_managing_key (MSymbol symbol) Check if a symbol is a managing key. MSymbol msymbol_exist (const char *name) Search for a symbol that has a specified name. char * msymbol_name (MSymbol symbol) Get symbol name. int msymbol_put (MSymbol symbol, MSymbol key, void *val) Set the value of a symbol property. void * msymbol_get (MSymbol symbol, MSymbol key) Get the value of a symbol property. int msymbol_put_func (MSymbol symbol, MSymbol key, M17NFunc func) Set the value (function pointer) of a symbol property. M17NFunc msymbol_get_func (MSymbol symbol, MSymbol key) Get the value (function pointer) of a symbol property. Variables MSymbol Mnil Symbol whose name is 'nil'. MSymbol Mt Symbol whose name is 't'. MSymbol Mstring Symbol whose name is 'string'. MSymbol Msymbol Symbol whose name is 'symbol'. Detailed Description Symbol objects and API for them. The m17n library uses objects called symbols as unambiguous identifiers. Symbols are similar to atoms in the X library, but a symbol can have zero or more symbol properties. A symbol property consists of a key and a value, where key is also a symbol and value is anything that can be cast to (void *). 'The symbol property that belongs to the symbol S and whose key is K' may be shortened to 'K property of S'. Symbols are used mainly in the following three ways. o As keys of symbol properties and other properties. o To represent various objects, e.g. charsets, coding systems, fontsets. o As arguments of the m17n library functions to control their behavior. There is a special kind of symbol, a managing key. The value of a property whose key is a managing key must be a managed object. See Managed Object for the detail. Typedef Documentation typedef struct MSymbolStruct* MSymbol Type of symbols. The type MSymbol is for a symbol object. Its internal structure is concealed from application programs. Variable Documentation MSymbol Mnil Symbol whose name is 'nil'. The symbol Mnil has the name 'nil' and, in general, represents false or no. When coerced to 'int', its value is zero. Mnil can't have any symbol property. MSymbol Mt Symbol whose name is 't'. The symbol Mt has the name 't' and, in general, represents true or yes. MSymbol Mstring Symbol whose name is 'string'. The symbol Mstring has the name 'string' and is used as an argument of the functions mchar_define_property(), etc. MSymbol Msymbol Symbol whose name is 'symbol'. The symbol Msymbol has the name 'symbol' and is used as an argument of the functions mchar_define_property(), etc. Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for The m17n Library from the source code.
