The File objects are * structs directly corresponding to the real files in the filesystem, while * Entities are a little more abstract. * * An Entity is composed by delimited area on a File object (it can take the * whole File object or just part of it), plus a group of known options. * In order to parse this file, first you need to create a File object with * the silc_config_open() function, and then you need to create the Entity * with the silc_config_init() function. * * Now you can use the newly created Entity to register a group of expected * known options and sub-blocks, and then you can call the main parsing loop * with the silc_config_main() function. When silc_config_main() will * return, if some error encoured the object file will point to the file * that caused this error (this can be different from the originally * opened file if it contained `Include' directives). If no errors * encoured then the File objects will still point to the original file. * * While silc_config_main() will take care of destroying Entities before * returning, you need to take care that the File object you created is freed * with the silc_config_close() function. * * The SILC Config library won't take care about storing the values contained * in the config file. You must take care about it with the callback * functions. * * The config file syntax is pretty straightforward. All lines starting * with `#' will be skipped, while sub-blocks are delimited by braces (see * the example below). * * Options with argument must have the `=' character between the option * name and the value. Simple words and numbers does not require quoting. * There is a special built-in directive "Include" which allows you to include * another config file in the point the directive is. You can also Include * inside a sub-block body, in this case when parsing the included config file * it will be assumed that we are within this block, and the included file * won't be allowed to close his root block. * * Example: * * cipher { * name = aes-256-cbc; * module = "aes.sim.so"; * key_length = 32; # usually the default is just fine * block_length = 16; * }; * Include "/etc/silc/hash_funcs.conf"; * ***/ #ifndef SILCCONFIG_H #define SILCCONFIG_H /****d* silcutil/SilcConfigAPI/SilcConfigErrno * * NAME * * enum { ... } - describe a SILC Config error * * DESCRIPTION * * The virtual integer `errno' is returned by the silc_config_main() * function and indicates what went wrong. * You can convert it to the corresponding error string with the function * silc_config_strerror(). * * SOURCE */ enum { SILC_CONFIG_OK, /* OK */ SILC_CONFIG_ESILENT, /* Error defined by callback function */ SILC_CONFIG_EPRINTLINE, /* Error defined by callback function */ SILC_CONFIG_EGENERIC, /* Invalid syntax */ SILC_CONFIG_EINTERNAL, /* Internal Error (caused by developer) */ SILC_CONFIG_ECANTOPEN, /* Can't open specified file */ SILC_CONFIG_EOPENBRACE, /* Expected open-brace '{' */ SILC_CONFIG_ECLOSEBRACE, /* Missing close-brace '}' */ SILC_CONFIG_ETYPE, /* Invalid data type */ SILC_CONFIG_EBADOPTION, /* Unknown option */ SILC_CONFIG_EINVALIDTEXT, /* Invalid text */ SILC_CONFIG_EDOUBLE, /* Double option specification */ SILC_CONFIG_EEXPECTED, /* Expected data but not found */ SILC_CONFIG_EEXPECTEDEQUAL, /* Expected '=' */ SILC_CONFIG_EUNEXPECTED, /* Unexpected data */ SILC_CONFIG_EMISSFIELDS, /* Missing mandatory fields */ SILC_CONFIG_EMISSCOLON, /* Missing ';' */ }; /***/ /****d* silcutil/SilcConfigAPI/SilcConfigType * * NAME * * typedef enum { ... } SilcConfigType; * * DESCRIPTION * * This identifies the parameter type that an option has.
