#define AV_ESCAPE_FLAG_WHITESPACE (1 << 0)

Consider spaces special and escape them even in the middle of the string.

This is equivalent to adding the whitespace characters to the special characters lists, except it is guaranteed to use the exact same list of whitespace characters as the rest of libavutil.

#define AV_ESCAPE_FLAG_STRICT (1 << 1)

char* av_stristr	(	const char *	haystack,
		const char *	needle
	)

Locate the first case-independent occurrence in the string haystack of the string needle.

A zero-length string needle is considered to match at the start of haystack.

This function is a case-insensitive version of the standard strstr().

Parameters

haystack	string to search in
needle	string to search for

Returns: pointer to the located match within haystack or a null pointer if no match

		const char *	needle,
		size_t	hay_length
	)

Locate the first occurrence of the string needle in the string haystack where not more than hay_length characters are searched.

A zero-length string needle is considered to match at the start of haystack.

This function is a length-limited version of the standard strstr().

Parameters

haystack	string to search in
needle	string to search for
hay_length	length of string to search in

Returns: pointer to the located match within haystack or a null pointer if no match

Definition at line 69 of file avstring.c.

size_t av_strlcpy	(	char *	dst,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	size
	)

Copy the string src to dst, but no more than size - 1 bytes, and null-terminate dst.

This function is the same as BSD strlcpy().

Parameters

dst	destination buffer
src	source string
size	size of destination buffer

Returns: the length of src

Warning: since the return value is the length of src, src absolutely must be a properly 0-terminated string, otherwise this will read beyond the end of the buffer and possibly crash.

		const char *	src,
		size_t	size
	)

Append the string src to the string dst, but to a total length of no more than size - 1 bytes, and null-terminate dst.

This function is similar to BSD strlcat(), but differs when size <= strlen(dst).

Parameters

dst	destination buffer
src	source string
size	size of destination buffer

Returns: the total length of src and dst

Warning: since the return value use the length of src and dst, these absolutely must be a properly 0-terminated strings, otherwise this will read beyond the end of the buffer and possibly crash.

Never write out of the destination buffer, and always put a terminating 0 within the buffer.

Parameters

dst	destination buffer (string to which the output is appended)
size	total size of the destination buffer
fmt	printf-compatible format string, specifying how the following parameters are used

Returns: the length of the string that would have been generated if enough space had been available

Print arguments following specified format into a large enough auto allocated buffer.

It is similar to GNU asprintf().

Parameters

fmt	printf-compatible format string, specifying how the following parameters are used.

Returns: the allocated string

Note: You have to free the string yourself with av_free().

char char* av_d2str ( double d )

Convert a number to a av_malloced string.

Definition at line 139 of file avstring.c.

char* av_get_token	(	const char **	buf,
		const char *	term
	)

Unescape the given string until a non escaped terminating char, and return the token corresponding to the unescaped string.

The normal \ and ' escaping is supported. Leading and trailing whitespaces are removed, unless they are escaped with '\' or are enclosed between ''.

Parameters

char* av_strtok	(	char *	s,
		const char *	delim,
		char **	saveptr
	)

Split the string into several tokens which can be accessed by successive calls to av_strtok().

A token is defined as a sequence of characters not belonging to the set specified in delim.

On the first call to av_strtok(), s should point to the string to parse, and the value of saveptr is ignored. In subsequent calls, s should be NULL, and saveptr should be unchanged since the previous call.

This function is similar to strtok_r() defined in POSIX.1.

Parameters

s	the string to parse, may be NULL
delim	0-terminated list of token delimiters, must be non-NULL
saveptr	user-provided pointer which points to stored information necessary for av_strtok() to continue scanning the same string. saveptr is updated to point to the next character after the first delimiter found, or to NULL if the string was terminated

Returns: the found token, or NULL when no token is found

Parameters

dst	pointer where an allocated string is put
src	string to escape, must be non-NULL
special_chars	string containing the special characters which need to be escaped, can be NULL
mode	escape mode to employ, see AV_ESCAPE_MODE_* macros. Any unknown value for mode will be considered equivalent to AV_ESCAPE_MODE_BACKSLASH, but this behaviour can change without notice.

		const uint8_t *	buf_end,
		unsigned int	flags
	)

Read and decode a single UTF-8 code point (character) from the buffer in *buf, and update *buf to point to the next byte to decode.

In case of an invalid byte sequence, the pointer will be updated to the next byte after the invalid sequence and the function will return an error code.

Depending on the specified flags, the function will also fail in case the decoded code point does not belong to a valid range.

Note: For speed-relevant code a carefully implemented use of GET_UTF8() may be preferred.

Parameters

codep	pointer used to return the parsed code in case of success. The value in *codep is set even in case the range check fails.
bufp	pointer to the address the first byte of the sequence to decode, updated by the function to point to the byte next after the decoded sequence
buf_end	pointer to the end of the buffer, points to the next byte past the last in the buffer. This is used to avoid buffer overreads (in case of an unfinished UTF-8 sequence towards the end of the buffer).
flags	a collection of AV_UTF8_FLAG_* flags

Returns: >= 0 in case a sequence was successfully read, a negative value in case of invalid sequence

int av_match_list	(	const char *	name,
