NAME¶
buffer_get_new_token_sa_pred - read token from buffer
SYNTAX¶
#include <stralloc.h>
#include <buffer.h>
int buffer_get_new_token_sa_pred(buffer* b,stralloc* sa,
int (* predicate)(stralloc* * sa));
DESCRIPTION¶
buffer_get_token_sa_pred copies data from
b to
sa until
predicate(
sa) returns 1 or -1.
If
predicate returns 1 once a '\n' was read, that new-line character is
still appended to
sa -- use stralloc_chop or stralloc_chomp to get rid
of it.
predicate can also return 0 (indicating further input is
required to complete the token) or -1 (abort and return -1; use this if
predicate wants to enfore a maximum message size or does timeout
handling or detects a malformed message).
If reading from the buffer or allocating memory fails,
buffer_get_new_token_sa_pred returns -1 and sets
errno appropriately.
At that point
sa may already contain a partial token.
On success, buffer_get_new_token_sa_pred returns 0.
If you want to read from a non-blocking socket, use buffer_get_token_sa_pred
instead.
