KvpFrame Value Fetching

Value accessors. These all take a unix-style slash-separated path as an argument, and return the value stored at that location. If the object at the end of that path is not of the type that was asked for, then a NULL or a zero is returned. So, for example, asking for a string when the path stored an int will return a NULL. In some future date, this may be changed to a looser type system, such as perl's automatic re-typing (e.g. an integer value might be converted to a printed string representing that value).

If any part of the path does not exist, then NULL or zero will be returned.

The values returned for GUID, binary, GList, KvpFrame and string are "non-copying" -- the returned item is the actual item stored. Do not delete this item unless you take the required care to avoid possible bad pointer derefrences (i.e. core dumps). Also, be careful hanging on to those references if you are also storing at the same path names: the referenced item will be freed during the store.

That is, if you get a string value (or guid, binary or frame), and then store something else at that path, the string that you've gotten will be freed during the store (internally, by the set_*() routines), and you will be left hanging onto an invalid pointer.

KvpFrame KvpValue low-level storing routines.

You probably shouldn't be using these low-level routines

All of the kvp_frame_set_slot_*() routines set the slot values "destructively", in that if there was an old value there, that old value is destroyed (and the memory freed). Thus, one should not hang on to value pointers, as these will get trashed if set_slot is called on the corresponding key.

If you want the old value, use kvp_frame_replace_slot().

KvpFrame KvpValue Low-Level Retrieval Routines

You probably shouldn't be using these low-level routines

Returns the KvpValue in the given KvpFrame 'frame' that is associated with 'key'. If there is no key in the frame, NULL is returned. If the value associated with the key is NULL, NULL is returned.

Pointers passed as arguments into get_slot are the responsibility of the caller. Pointers returned by get_slot are owned by the kvp_frame. Make copies as needed.

Detailed Description

A KvpFrame is a set of associations between character strings (keys) and KvpValue structures. A KvpValue is a union with possible types enumerated in the KvpValueType enum, and includes, among other things, ints, doubles, strings, guid's, lists, time and numeric values. KvpValues may also be other frames, so KVP is inherently hierarchical.

Values are stored in a 'slot' associated with a key. Pointers passed as arguments into set_slot and get_slot are the responsibility of the caller. Pointers returned by get_slot are owned by the kvp_frame. Make copies as needed.

A 'path' is a sequence of keys that can be followed to a value. Paths may be specified as varargs (variable number of arguments to a subrutine, NULL-terminated), as a GSList, or as a standard URL-like path name. The later is parsed and treated in the same way as file paths would be: / separates keys, /./ is treated as / and /../ means backup one level. Repeated slashes are treated as one slash.

Note that although, in principle, keys may contain the / and . and .. characters, doing so may lead to confusion, and will make path-string parsing routines fail. In other words, don't use a key such as 'some/key' or 'some/./other/../key' because you may get unexpected results.

To set a value into a frame, you will want to use one of the kvp_frame_set_xxx() routines. Most of the other routines provide only low-level access that you probably shouldn't use.

Function Documentation

GSList* g_hash_table_key_value_pairs ( GHashTable *  table)

Returns a GSList* of all the keys and values in a given hash table. Data elements of lists are actual hash elements, so be careful, and deallocation of the GHashTableKVPairs in the result list are the caller's responsibility. A typical sequence might look like this:

GSList *kvps = g_hash_table_key_value_pairs(hash); ... use kvps->data->key and kvps->data->val, etc. here ... g_slist_foreach(kvps, g_hash_table_kv_pair_free_gfunc, NULL); g_slist_free(kvps);

    return result_list;
}
void kvp_frame_add_double ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
gdouble  dval 
)

Add the value of the double to the glist bag.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If the value previously stored at this path was not a glist bag, then a bag will be formed there, the old value placed in the bag, and the new value added to the bag.

}
void kvp_frame_add_frame ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
KvpFrame chld 
)

Copy the frame to the glist bag at the indicated path.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If there was another item previously stored at that path, then the path is converted to a bag, and the old value, along with the new value, is added to the bag.

}
void kvp_frame_add_guid ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
const GUID guid 
)

Copy the GUID to the glist bag at the indicated path.

const gchar *  path,
QofNumeric  nval 
)

Add the value of the QofNumeric to the glist bag.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If the value previously stored at this path was not a glist bag, then a bag will be formed there, the old value placed in the bag, and the new value added to the bag.

}
void kvp_frame_add_string ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
const gchar *  str 
)

Copy the string to the glist bag at the indicated path.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If there was another item previously stored at that path, then the path is converted to a bag, and the old value, along with the new value, is added to the bag.

void kvp_frame_add_time ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
QofTime qt 
)

Add the value of the QofTime to the glist bag.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If the value previously stored at this path was not a glist bag, then a bag will be formed there, the old value placed in the bag, and the new value added to the bag.

}
void kvp_frame_add_url_encoding ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  enc 
)

The kvp_frame_add_url_encoding() routine will parse the value string, assuming it to be URL-encoded in the standard way, turning it into a set of key-value pairs, and adding those to the indicated frame. URL-encoded strings are the things that are returned by web browsers when a form is filled out. For example, 'start-date=June&end-date=November' consists of two keys, 'start-date' and 'end-date', which have the values 'June' and 'November', respectively. This routine also handles % encoding.

This routine treats all values as strings; it does *not* attempt to perform any type-conversion.

Definition at line 877 of file kvpframe.c.

{
    gchar *buff, *p;
    if (!frame || !enc)
        return;

    /* Loop over all key-value pairs in the encoded string */
    buff = g_strdup (enc);
    p = buff;
    while (*p)
    {
        gchar *n, *v;
        n = strchr (p, '&');    /* n = next key-value */
        if (n)
            *n = 0x0;

        v = strchr (p, '=');    /* v =  pointer to value */
        if (!v)
            break;
        *v = 0x0;
        v++;

        decode (p);
        decode (v);
        kvp_frame_set_slot_nc (frame, p, kvp_value_new_string (v));

        if (!n)
            break;              /* no next key, we are done */
        p = ++n;
    }

    g_free (buff);
}
KvpFrame* kvp_frame_add_value ( KvpFrame frame,
const gchar *  path,
KvpValue value 
)

Add a copy of the value to the glist bag.

If not all frame components of the path exist, they are created. If there was another item previously stored at that path, then the path is converted to a bag, and the old value, along with the new value, is added to the bag. This routine returns the pointer to the last frame (the actual frame to which the value was added), or NULL if there was an error of any sort (typically, a parse error in the path).

This routine returns the last frame of the path. If the frame path doesn't exist, it is created. Note that this is *VERY DIFFERENT FROM* kvp_frame_get_frame()

The kvp_frame_get_frame_slash() routine takes a single string where the keys are separated by slashes; thus, for example: /this/is/a/valid/path and///so//is////this/ Multiple slashes are compresed. Leading slash is optional. The pointers . and .. are *not* currently followed/obeyed. (This is a bug that needs fixing).

The kvp_frame_set_slot() routine copies the value into the frame, associating it with a copy of 'key'. Pointers passed as arguments into kvp_frame_set_slot are the responsibility of the caller; the pointers are *not* taken over or managed. The old value at this location, if any, is destroyed.

The kvp_frame_set_slot_nc() routine puts the value (without copying it) into the frame, associating it with a copy of 'key'. This routine is handy for avoiding excess memory allocations & frees. Note that because the KvpValue was grabbed, you can't just delete unless you remove the key as well (or unless you replace the value). The old value at this location, if any, is destroyed.

gint64 kvp_value_get_gint64 ( const KvpValue value)

Value accessors. Those for GUID, binary, GList, KvpFrame and string are non-copying -- the caller can modify the value directly. Just don't free it, or you screw up everything. Note that if another value is stored at the key location that this value came from, then this value will be uncermoniously deleted, and you will be left pointing to garbage. So don't store values at the same time you are examining their contents.

Todo:
kvp_value_get_ functions need to set QofError so that users can check that a NULL or zero value is actually a real value and not an error result.

Convert a KvpValueType to a QofIdType.

Used by various backends to convert QofParam into SQL structures.

Note:
Not all KvpValueType types can be converted to QofIdTypeConst, in particular KVP_TYPE_BINARY, KVP_TYPE_GLIST and KVP_TYPE_FRAME
Returns:
The QofIdTypeConst or NULL if the type cannot be converted.

KvpFrame* qof_kvp_bag_add ( KvpFrame kvp_root,
const gchar *  path,
QofTime qt,
const gchar *  first_name,
  ... 
)

The qof_kvp_bag_add() routine is used to maintain a collection of pointers in a kvp tree.

The thing being pointed at is uniquely identified by its GUID. This routine is typically used to create a linked list, and/or a collection of pointers to objects that are 'related' to each other in some way.

The var-args should be pairs of strings (const char *) followed by the corresponding GUID pointer (const GUID *). Terminate the varargs with a NULL as the last string argument.

The actual 'pointer' is stored in a subdirectory in a bag located at the node directory 'path'. A 'bag' is merely a collection of (unamed) values. The name of our bag is 'path'. A bag can contain any kind of values, including frames. This routine will create a frame, and put it in the bag. The frame will contain named data from the subroutine arguments. Thus, for example:

qof_kvp_array (kvp, "foo", secs, "acct_guid", aguid, "book_guid", bguid, NULL);

will create a frame containing "/acct_guid" and "/book_guid", whose values are aguid and bguid respecitvely. The frame will also contain "/date", whose value will be secs. This frame will be placed into the bag located at "foo".

This routine returns a pointer to the frame that was created, or NULL if an error occured.

}
KvpFrame* qof_kvp_bag_find_by_guid ( KvpFrame root,
const gchar *  path,
const gchar *  guid_name,
GUID desired_guid 
)

The qof_kvp_bag_find_by_guid() routine examines the bag pointed located at root. It looks for a frame in that bag that has the guid value of "desired_guid" filed under the key name "guid_name". If it finds that matching guid, then it returns a pointer to the KVP frame that contains it. If it is not found, or if there is any other error, NULL is returned.

void qof_kvp_bag_merge ( KvpFrame kvp_into,
const gchar *  intopath,
KvpFrame kvp_from,
const gchar *  frompath 
)

The qof_kvp_bag_merge() routine will move the bag contents from the 'kvp_from', to the 'into' bag. It will then delete the 'from' bag from the kvp tree.

}
void qof_kvp_bag_remove_frame ( KvpFrame root,
const gchar *  path,
KvpFrame fr 
)

Remove the given frame from the bag. The frame is removed, however, it is not deleted. Note that the frame pointer must be a pointer to the actual frame (for example, as returned by gnc_kvp_bag_find_by_guid() for by gnc_kvp_bag_add()), and not some copy of the frame.
