FF_PAD_STRUCTURE ( AVBPrint  ,
1024  ,
char *str;unsigned len;unsigned size;unsigned size_max;char reserved_internal_buffer;  [1] 
)

Buffer to print data progressively.

The string buffer grows as necessary and is always 0-terminated. The content of the string is never accessed, and thus is encoding-agnostic and can even hold binary data.

Small buffers are kept in the structure itself, and thus require no memory allocation at all (unless the contents of the buffer is needed after the structure goes out of scope). This is almost as lightweight as declaring a local "char buf[512]".

The length of the string can go beyond the allocated size: the buffer is then truncated, but the functions still keep account of the actual total length.

In other words, buf->len can be greater than buf->size and records the total length of what would have been to the buffer if there had been enough memory.

Append operations do not need to be tested for failure: if a memory allocation fails, data stop being appended to the buffer, but the length is still updated. This situation can be tested with av_bprint_is_complete().

The size_max field determines several possible behaviours:

size_max = -1 (= UINT_MAX) or any large value will let the buffer be reallocated as necessary, with an amortized linear cost.

size_max = 0 prevents writing anything to the buffer: only the total length is computed. The write operations can then possibly be repeated in a buffer with exactly the necessary size (using size_init = size_max = len + 1).

size_max = 1 is automatically replaced by the exact size available in the structure itself, thus ensuring no dynamic memory allocation. The internal buffer is large enough to hold a reasonable paragraph of text, such as the current paragraph. Convenience macros for special values for av_bprint_init() size_max parameter. Init a print buffer.

Parameters
bufbuffer to init
size_initinitial size (including the final 0)
size_maxmaximum size; 0 means do not write anything, just count the length; 1 is replaced by the maximum value for automatic storage; any large value means that the internal buffer will be reallocated as needed up to that limit; -1 is converted to UINT_MAX, the largest limit possible. Check also AV_BPRINT_SIZE_* macros.
void av_bprint_init_for_buffer ( AVBPrint *  buf,
char *  buffer,
unsigned  size 
)

Init a print buffer using a pre-existing buffer.

The buffer will not be reallocated.

Parameters
bufbuffer structure to init
bufferbyte buffer to use for the string data
sizesize of buffer

void av_bprint_strftime ( AVBPrint *  buf,
const char *  fmt,
const struct tm *  tm

Append a formatted date and time to a print buffer.

param buf bprint buffer to use param fmt date and time format string, see strftime() param tm broken-down time structure to translate

Note
due to poor design of the standard strftime function, it may produce poor results if the format string expands to a very long text and the bprint buffer is near the limit stated by the size_max option.

void av_bprint_get_buffer ( AVBPrint *  buf,

Allocate bytes in the buffer for external use.

Parameters

[in]sizerequired size
[out]mempointer to the memory area
[out]actual_sizesize of the memory area after allocation; can be larger or smaller than size

void av_bprint_clear ( AVBPrint *  buf)

Test if the print buffer is complete (not truncated).

It may have been truncated due to a memory allocation failure or the size_max limit (compare size and size_max if necessary).

int av_bprint_finalize ( AVBPrint *  buf,

Finalize a print buffer.

The print buffer can no longer be used afterwards, but the len and size fields are still valid.

  • [out] ret_str if not NULL, used to return a permanent copy of the buffer contents, or NULL if memory allocation fails; if NULL, the buffer is discarded and freed
    Returns
    0 for success or error code (probably AVERROR(ENOMEM))
