Typedef Documentation

typedef int yaml_write_handler_t(void *data, unsigned char *buffer, size_t size)

The prototype of a write handler.

The write handler is called when the emitter needs to flush the accumulated characters to the output. The handler should write size bytes of the buffer to the output.

Parameters:

[in,out]	data	A pointer to an application data specified by yaml_emitter_set_output().
[in]	buffer	The buffer with bytes to be written.
[in]	size	The size of the buffer.

Returns:: On success, the handler should return 1. If the handler failed, the returned value should be 0.

typedef enum yaml_emitter_state_e yaml_emitter_state_t

The emitter states.

typedef struct yaml_emitter_s yaml_emitter_t

The emitter structure.

All members are internal. Manage the structure using the yaml_emitter_ family of functions.

Function Documentation

int yaml_emitter_initialize ( yaml_emitter_t * emitter )

Initialize an emitter.

This function creates a new emitter object. An application is responsible for destroying the object using the yaml_emitter_delete() function.

Parameters:

[out] emitter An empty parser object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.

void yaml_emitter_delete ( yaml_emitter_t * emitter )

Destroy an emitter.

Parameters:

[in,out] emitter An emitter object.

void yaml_emitter_set_output_string	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t	size,
		size_t *	size_written
	)

Set a string output.

The emitter will write the output characters to the output buffer of the size size. The emitter will set size_written to the number of written bytes. If the buffer is smaller than required, the emitter produces the YAML_WRITE_ERROR error.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	output	An output buffer.
[in]	size	The buffer size.
[in]	size_written	The pointer to save the number of written bytes.

void yaml_emitter_set_output_file	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		FILE *	file
	)

Set a file output.

file should be a file object open for writing. The application is responsible for closing the file.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	file	An open file.

void yaml_emitter_set_output	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		yaml_write_handler_t *	handler,
		void *	data
	)

Set a generic output handler.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	handler	A write handler.
[in]	data	Any application data for passing to the write handler.

void yaml_emitter_set_encoding	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		yaml_encoding_t	encoding
	)

Set the output encoding.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	encoding	The output encoding.

void yaml_emitter_set_canonical	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		int	canonical
	)

Set if the output should be in the "canonical" format as in the YAML specification.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	canonical	If the output is canonical.

void yaml_emitter_set_indent	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		int	indent
	)

Set the intendation increment.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	indent	The indentation increment (1 < . < 10).

void yaml_emitter_set_width	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		int	width
	)

Set the preferred line width.

-1 means unlimited.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	width	The preferred line width.

void yaml_emitter_set_unicode	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		int	unicode
	)

Set if unescaped non-ASCII characters are allowed.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	unicode	If unescaped Unicode characters are allowed.

void yaml_emitter_set_break	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		yaml_break_t	line_break
	)

Set the preferred line break.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in]	line_break	The preferred line break.

int yaml_emitter_emit	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		yaml_event_t *	event
	)

Emit an event.

The event object may be generated using the yaml_parser_parse() function. The emitter takes the responsibility for the event object and destroys its content after it is emitted. The event object is destroyed even if the function fails.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in,out]	event	An event object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.

int yaml_emitter_open ( yaml_emitter_t * emitter )

Start a YAML stream.

This function should be used before yaml_emitter_dump() is called.

Parameters:

[in,out] emitter An emitter object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.

int yaml_emitter_close ( yaml_emitter_t * emitter )

Finish a YAML stream.

This function should be used after yaml_emitter_dump() is called.

Parameters:

[in,out] emitter An emitter object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.

int yaml_emitter_dump	(	yaml_emitter_t *	emitter,
		yaml_document_t *	document
	)

Emit a YAML document.

The documen object may be generated using the yaml_parser_load() function or the yaml_document_initialize() function. The emitter takes the responsibility for the document object and destoys its content after it is emitted. The document object is destroyedeven if the function fails.

Parameters:

[in,out]	emitter	An emitter object.
[in,out]	document	A document object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.

int yaml_emitter_flush ( yaml_emitter_t * emitter )

Flush the accumulated characters to the output.

Parameters:

[in,out] emitter An emitter object.

Returns:: 1 if the function succeeded, 0 on error.
