.TH LC_REGISTER_CALLBACK 3 "25 Oct 04" "@PACKAGE_STRING@"
.SH NAME
lc_register_callback \- Register a function for callback in config processing.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <libconfig.h>
.sp
.BI "int lc_register_callback(const char *" var ", char " opt ", lc_var_type_t " type ", int (*callback)(const char *, const char *, const char *, const char *, lc_flags_t, void *), void *" extra);
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B lc_register_callback
function registers a function to be called when
.IR var
is encounted in a configuration file, command line, or environment variable.
The parameters are as follows:
.TP
.IR "const char *var"
.RS
The
.IR var
parameter indicates the name of the variable to register for a callback when encountered in a configuration file, the environment, or as a long option. The
.IR var
may be prefixed with "*." to indicate that the object can occur in any section or subsection.
.RE
.TP
.IR "const char opt"
.RS
The
.IR opt
parameter indicates the single charectar short option to use from the command line to invoke the register callback. A value of 0 indicates that no short option is acceptable.
.RE
.TP
.IR "lc_var_type_t type"
.RS
The
.IR type
parameter indicates the type of values that are acceptable for this callback. Currently only LC_VAR_NONE is acceptable, since callbacks may not have values (though they may have arguments).
.RE
.TP
.IR "int (*callback)(...)"
.RS
The
.IR callback
parameter indicates the name of the function to invoke when the above parameters are met. The specified function should take 6 parameters, see below for more information. This value may not be NULL.
.RE
.TP
.IR "void *extra"
.RS
The
.IR extra
parameter is a pointer that can be used to pass data to the callback upon invocation, it will not be mangled or examined by any function.
.RE
The arguments to the function specified as
.IR callback
are as follows:
.TP
.I "const char *shortvar"
.RS
The
.I shortvar
parameter is the local variable name, provided as a convience. It is the portion of the variable name after the first "dot" (.) in the fully qualified variable name. The "dot" (.) value in the fully qualified variable name indicates a section or subsection that the variable belongs to.
This may be
.B NULL
if the
.IR var
parameter to
.BI lc_register_callback (3)
was
.B NULL
too.
.RE
.TP
.I "const char *var"
.RS
The
.I var
parameter is the fully qualified variable name. It includes in the prefix any sections and subsections that contain this variable.
This may be
.B NULL
if the
.IR var
parameter to
.BI lc_register_callback (3)
was
.B NULL
too.
.RE
.TP
.I "const char *arguments"
.RS
The
.I arguments
parameter provides the arguments passed to the variable, currently only sections may have arguments.
This may be
.B NULL
if there were no arguments specified, or if arguments were not applicable.
.RE
.TP
.I "const char *value"
.RS
The
.I value
parameter provides the value of the variable specified.
This may be
.B NULL
if no value was specified. Values are required if the
.IR type
parameter to
.BI lc_register_callback (3)
was not specified as one of LC_VAR_NONE, LC_VAR_SECTION, LC_VAR_SECTIONSTART, or LC_VAR_SECTIONEND.
.RE
.TP
.I "lc_flags_t flags"
.RS
The flags parameter provides information about the type of command being called. The valid values are:
.IP LC_FLAGS_VAR
To indicate a regular variable in a configuration file.
.IP LC_FLAGS_CMDLINE
To indicate a command line option has been used to invoke this option.
.IP LC_FLAGS_SECTIONSTART
To indicate that this command represents the beginning of a section.
.IP LC_FLAGS_SECTIONEND
To indicate that this command represents the end of a section.
.RE
.TP
.I "void *extra"
.RS
The
.I extra
parameter is just a copy of the
.IR extra
parameter passed to
.BI lc_register_callback (3)
when the callback was registered.
.RE
The
.IR callback
function should return one of three values:
.TP
LC_CBRET_IGNORESECTION
Returning LC_CBRET_IGNORESECTION from a callback that begins a section causes the entire section to be ignored without generating an error.
.TP
LC_CBRET_OKAY
Returning LC_CBRET_OKAY from a callback indicates that all went well and further processing may continue.
.TP
LC_CBRET_ERROR
Returnning LC_CBRET_ERROR from a callback indicates that the command failed for some reason, the error will be passed back down the chain back to the
.BI lc_process (3)
call that began processing the configuration data. If LC_CBRET_ERROR is returned from a callback that begins a section, the entire section is ignored.
"RETURN VALUE"
On success 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
#include <libconfig.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int callback_ifmodule(const char *shortvar, const char *var,
const char *arguments, const char *value,
lc_flags_t flags, void *extra) {
if (flags == LC_FLAGS_SECTIONEND) {
return(LC_CBRET_OKAY);
}
if (flags != LC_FLAGS_SECTIONSTART) {
fprintf(stderr, "IfModule can only be used as a \\
section.\\n");
return(LC_CBRET_ERROR);
}
if (arguments == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "You must specify an argument to \\
IfModule.\\n");
return(LC_CBRET_ERROR);
}
printf("IfModule %s\\n", arguments);
if (strcasecmp(arguments, "MyModule") == 0) {
return(LC_CBRET_IGNORESECTION);
}
return(LC_CBRET_OKAY);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int lc_rc_ret = 0, lc_p_ret;
lc_rc_ret = lc_register_callback("*.IfModule", 0, LC_VAR_NONE,
callback_ifmodule, NULL);
if (lc_rc_ret != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error registering callback.\\n");
return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
lc_p_ret = lc_process(argc, argv, "example", LC_CONF_APACHE,
NULL);
if (lc_p_ret != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error processing configuration: \\
%s\\n", lc_geterrstr());
return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
