Detailed Description

Arrays are used to store data which is referenced sequentially or as a stack. Functions are provided to push and pop individual elements as well as to operate on the entire array.

Tables are used to store data which can be referenced by key. Limited capabilities are provided for tables with multiple elements which share a key; while key lookup will return only a single element, iteration is available. Additionally, a table can be compressed to resolve duplicates.

Both arrays and tables may store string or binary data; some features, such as concatenation or merging of elements, work only for string data.

#define APR_ARRAY_IDX	(	ary,
		i,
		type

A helper macro for accessing a member of an APR array.

Parameters:

ary	the array

type	the type of the objects stored in the array

Returns:: the item at index i

Function Documentation

APR_DECLARE ( const apr_array_header_t * ) const

Get the elements from a table.

Parameters:

t The table

Returns:: An array containing the contents of the table

APR_DECLARE ( int ) const

Determine if the table is empty (either NULL or having no elements).

Parameters:

t	The table to check

Returns:: True if empty, False otherwise

Determine if the array is empty (either NULL or having no elements).

Parameters:

a	The array to check

Returns:: True if empty, False otherwise

Iterate over a table running the provided function once for every element in the table. The

Parameters:

vp	varargs parameter must be a list of zero or more (char *) keys followed by a NULL pointer. If zero keys are given, the
comp	function will be invoked for every element in the table. Otherwise, the function is invoked only for those elements matching the keys specified.

If an invocation of the

Parameters:

comp	function returns zero, iteration will continue using the next specified key, if any.
comp	The function to run
rec	The data to pass as the first argument to the function
t	The table to iterate over
vp	List of zero or more (char *) keys followed by NULL

Returns:: FALSE if one of the comp() iterations returned zero; TRUE if all iterations returned non-zero

See also:: apr_table_do_callback_fn_t

Remarks:: The alternate apr_array_copy_hdr copies only the header, and arranges for the elements to be copied if (and only if) the code subsequently does a push or arraycat.

Copy the headers of the array, and arrange for the elements to be copied if and only if the code subsequently does a push or arraycat.

Parameters:

p	The pool to allocate the copy of the array out of
arr	The array to copy

APR_DECLARE ( void )

Remove all elements from an array.

Parameters:

dst	The destination array, and the one to go first in the combined array
src	The source array to add to the destination array

Delete all of the elements from a table.

Parameters:

t	The table to clear

Add a key/value pair to a table. If another element already exists with the same key, this will overwrite the old data.

Parameters:

t	The table to add the data to.
key	The key to use (case does not matter)
val	The value to add

Remarks:: When adding data, this function makes a copy of both the key and the value.

Add a key/value pair to a table. If another element already exists with the same key, this will overwrite the old data.

Parameters:

t	The table to add the data to.
key	The key to use (case does not matter)
val	The value to add

Warning:: When adding data, this function does not make a copy of the key or the value, so care should be taken to ensure that the values will not change after they have been added..

Remove data from the table.

Parameters:

t	The table to remove data from
key	The key of the data being removed (case does not matter)

Add data to a table by merging the value with data that has already been stored. The merging is done by concatenating the two values, separated by the string ", ".

Parameters:

t	The table to search for the data
key	The key to merge data for (case does not matter)
val	The data to add

Remarks:: If the key is not found, then this function acts like apr_table_add

Add data to a table by merging the value with data that has already been stored. The merging is done by concatenating the two values, separated by the string ", ".

Parameters:

t	The table to search for the data
key	The key to merge data for (case does not matter)
val	The data to add

Remarks:: If the key is not found, then this function acts like apr_table_addn

Add data to a table, regardless of whether there is another element with the same key.

Parameters:

t	The table to add to
key	The key to use
val	The value to add.

Remarks:: When adding data, this function makes a copy of both the key and the value.

Add data to a table, regardless of whether there is another element with the same key.

Parameters:

t	The table to add to
key	The key to use
val	The value to add.

Remarks:: When adding data, this function does not make a copy of the key or the value, so care should be taken to ensure that the values will not change after they have been added.

For each element in table b, either use setn or mergen to add the data to table a. Which method is used is determined by the flags passed in.

Parameters:

a	The table to add the data to.
b	The table to iterate over, adding its data to table a
flags	How to add the table to table a. One of: APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_SET Use apr_table_setn APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE Use apr_table_mergen

Remarks:: When merging duplicates, the two values are concatenated, separated by the string ", ".; This function is highly optimized, and uses less memory and CPU cycles than a function that just loops through table b calling other functions. Conceptually, apr_table_overlap does this:

  apr_array_header_t *barr = apr_table_elts(b);
  apr_table_entry_t *belt = (apr_table_entry_t *)barr->elts;
  int i;

  for (i = 0; i < barr->nelts; ++i) {
      if (flags & APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE) {
          apr_table_mergen(a, belt[i].key, belt[i].val);
      }
      else {
          apr_table_setn(a, belt[i].key, belt[i].val);
      }
  }

Except that it is more efficient (less space and cpu-time) especially when b has many elements.

Notice the assumptions on the keys and values in b -- they must be in an ancestor of a's pool. In practice b and a are usually from the same pool.

Eliminate redundant entries in a table by either overwriting or merging duplicates.

Parameters:

t	Table.
flags	APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE to merge, or APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_SET to overwrite

Remarks:: When merging duplicates, the two values are concatenated, separated by the string ", ".

APR_DECLARE ( char * )

Generate a new string from the apr_pool_t containing the concatenated sequence of substrings referenced as elements within the array. The string will be empty if all substrings are empty or null, or if there are no elements in the array. If sep is non-NUL, it will be inserted between elements as a separator.

Parameters:

p	The pool to allocate the string out of
arr	The array to generate the string from
sep	The separator to use

Returns:: A string containing all of the data in the array.

APR_DECLARE ( apr_table_t * )

Parameters:

comp	function will be invoked for every element in the table. Otherwise, the function is invoked only for those elements matching the keys specified.

If an invocation of the
