Building, Installing, and
+ Packaging Mini-XMLThe following abbreviations are used throughout this manual:
+Building, Installing, and
+ Packaging Mini-XMLThis chapter describes how to build, install, and package Mini-XML on + your system from the source archive. You will need an ANSI/ISO-C + compatible compiler to build Mini-XML - GCC works, as do most vendors' + C compilers. If you are building Mini-XML on Windows, we recommend + using the Visual C++ environment with the supplied solution file. For + other operating systems, you'll need a POSIX-compatible shell and +make program in addition to the C compiler.
+All of the examples so far have concentrated on creating and loading + new XML data nodes. Many applications, however, need to manipulate or + change the nodes during their operation, so Mini-XML provides functions + to change node values safely and without leaking memory.
+Existing nodes can be changed using the +mxmlSetElement(), +mxmlSetInteger(), +mxmlSetOpaque(), +mxmlSetReal(), +mxmlSetText(), and +mxmlSetTextf() functions. For example, use the following + function call to change a text node to contain the text "new" with + leading whitespace:
++ mxml_node_t *node; + + mxmlSetText(node, 1, "new"); ++
As noted previously, mxmldoc looks for in-line comments to + describe the functions, types, and constants in your code. Mxmldoc + will document all public names it finds in your source files - any + names starting with the underscore character (_) or names that are + documented with the @private@ directive are + treated as private and are undocumented.
+Comments appearing directly before a function or type definition are + used to document that function or type. Comments appearing after + argument, definition, return type, or variable declarations are used to + document that argument, definition, return type, or variable. For + example, the following code excerpt defines a key/value structure and a + function that creates a new instance of that structure:
+
+ /* A key/value pair. This is used with the
+ dictionary structure. */
+
+ struct keyval
+ {
+ char *key; /* Key string */
+ char *val; /* Value string */
+ };
+
+ /* Create a new key/value pair. */
+
+ struct keyval * /* New key/value pair */
+ new_keyval(
+ const char *key, /* Key string */
+ const char *val) /* Value string */
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Mxmldoc also knows to remove extra asterisks (*) from the + comment string, so the comment string:
++ /* + * Compute the value of PI. + * + * The function connects to an Internet server + * that streams audio of mathematical monks + * chanting the first 100 digits of PI. + */ ++
will be shown as:
++ Compute the value of PI. + + The function connects to an Internet server + that streams audio of mathematical monks + chanting the first 100 digits of PI. ++
Comments can also include the following + special @name ...@ directive strings:
+Mini-XML comes with both an autoconf-based configure script and a + Visual C++ solution that can be used to compile the library and + associated tools.
+Type the following command to configure the Mini-XML source code for + your system:
++ ./configure ENTER ++
The default install prefix is /usr/local, which can be + overridden using the --prefix option:
++ ./configure --prefix=/foo ENTER ++
Other configure options can be found using the --help + option:
++ ./configure --help ENTER ++
Once you have configured the software, use the make(1) + program to do the build and run the test program to verify that things + are working, as follows:
++ make ENTER ++
Open the mxml.sln solution in the vcnet folder. + Choose the desired build configuration, "Debug" (the default) or + "Release", and then choose Build Solution from the + Build menu.
+When saving XML documents, Mini-XML normally wraps output lines at + column 75 so that the text is readable in terminal windows. The +mxmlSetWrapMargin function overrides the default wrap + margin:
++ /* Set the margin to 132 columns */ + mxmlSetWrapMargin(132); + + /* Disable wrapping */ + mxmlSetWrapMargin(0); ++ + +
Mini-XML includes two files that can be used to create binary + packages. The first file is mxml.spec which is used by the +rpmbuild(8) software to create Red Hat Package Manager ("RPM") + packages which are commonly used on Linux. Since rpmbuild + wants to compile the software on its own, you can provide it with the + Mini-XML tar file to build the package:
++ rpmbuild -ta mxml-version.tar.gz ENTER ++
The second file is mxml.list which is used by the +epm(1) program to create software packages in a variety of formats. + The epm program is available from the following URL:
++ http://www.easysw.com/epm/ ++
Use the make command with the epm target to + create portable and native packages for your system:
++ make epm ENTER ++
The packages are stored in a subdirectory named dist for + your convenience. The portable packages utilize scripts and tar files + to install the software on the target system. After extracting the + package archive, use the mxml.install script to install the + software.
+The native packages will be in the local OS's native format: RPM for + Red Hat Linux, DPKG for Debian Linux, PKG for Solaris, and so forth. + Use the corresponding commands to install the native packages.
+You can create and update XML documents in memory using the various +mxmlNew functions. The following code will create the XML document + described in the previous section:
+
+ mxml_node_t *xml; /* <?xml ... ?> */
+ mxml_node_t *data; /* <data> */
+ mxml_node_t *node; /* <node> */
+ mxml_node_t *group; /* <group> */
+
+ xml = mxmlNewXML("1.0");
+
+ data = mxmlNewElement(xml, "data");
+
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val1");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val2");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val3");
+
+ group = mxmlNewElement(data, "group");
+
+ node = mxmlNewElement(group, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val4");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(group, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val5");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(group, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val6");
+
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val7");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val8");
+
+We start by creating the <?xml version="1.0"?> node common + to all XML files using the +mxmlNewXML function:
+
+ xml = mxmlNewXML("1.0");
+
+We then create the <data> node used for this document using + the mxmlNewElement + function. The first argument specifies the parent node (xml +) while the second specifies the element name (data):
++ data = mxmlNewElement(xml, "data"); ++
Each <node>...</node> in the file is created using the +mxmlNewElement and +mxmlNewText functions. The first argument of mxmlNewText + specifies the parent node (node). The second argument + specifies whether whitespace appears before the text - 0 or false in + this case. The last argument specifies the actual text to add:
++ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node"); + mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val1"); ++
The resulting in-memory XML document can then be saved or processed + just like one loaded from disk or a string.
+ + +Mini-XML supports custom data types via global load and save + callbacks. Only a single set of callbacks can be active at any time, + however your callbacks can store additional information in order to + support multiple custom data types as needed. The MXML_CUSTOM + node type identifies custom data nodes.
+The load callback receives a pointer to the current data node and a + string of opaque character data from the XML source with character + entities converted to the corresponding UTF-8 characters. For example, + if we wanted to support a custom date/time type whose value is encoded + as "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ" (ISO format), the load callback would look + like the following:
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ unsigned year, /* Year */
+ month, /* Month */
+ day, /* Day */
+ hour, /* Hour */
+ minute, /* Minute */
+ second; /* Second */
+ time_t unix; /* UNIX time */
+ } iso_date_time_t;
+
+ int
+ load_custom(mxml_node_t *node,
+ const char *data)
+ {
+ iso_date_time_t *dt;
+ struct tm tmdata;
+
+ /*
+ * Allocate data structure...
+ */
+
+ dt = calloc(1, sizeof(iso_date_time_t));
+
+ /*
+ * Try reading 6 unsigned integers from the
+ * data string...
+ */
+
+ if (sscanf(data, "%u-%u-%uT%u:%u:%uZ",
+ &(dt->year), &(dt->month),
+ &(dt->day), &(dt->hour),
+ &(dt->minute),
+ &(dt->second)) != 6)
+ {
+ /*
+ * Unable to read numbers, free the data
+ * structure and return an error...
+ */
+
+ free(dt);
+
+ return (-1);
+ }
+
+ /*
+ * Range check values...
+ */
+
+ if (dt->month <1 || dt->month > 12 ||
+ dt->day <1 || dt->day > 31 ||
+ dt->hour <0 || dt->hour > 23 ||
+ dt->minute <0 || dt->minute > 59 ||
+ dt->second <0 || dt->second > 59)
+ {
+ /*
+ * Date information is out of range...
+ */
+
+ free(dt);
+
+ return (-1);
+ }
+
+ /*
+ * Convert ISO time to UNIX time in
+ * seconds...
+ */
+
+ tmdata.tm_year = dt->year - 1900;
+ tmdata.tm_mon = dt->month - 1;
+ tmdata.tm_day = dt->day;
+ tmdata.tm_hour = dt->hour;
+ tmdata.tm_min = dt->minute;
+ tmdata.tm_sec = dt->second;
+
+ dt->unix = gmtime(&tmdata);
+
+ /*
+ * Assign custom node data and destroy
+ * function pointers...
+ */
+
+ node->value.custom.data = dt;
+ node->value.custom.destroy = free;
+
+ /*
+ * Return with no errors...
+ */
+
+ return (0);
+ }
+
+The function itself can return 0 on success or -1 if it is unable to + decode the custom data or the data contains an error. Custom data nodes + contain a void pointer to the allocated custom data for the + node and a pointer to a destructor function which will free the custom + data when the node is deleted.
+The save callback receives the node pointer and returns an allocated + string containing the custom data value. The following save callback + could be used for our ISO date/time type:
+
+ char *
+ save_custom(mxml_node_t *node)
+ {
+ char data[255];
+ iso_date_time_t *dt;
+
+
+ dt = (iso_date_time_t *)node->custom.data;
+
+ snprintf(data, sizeof(data),
+ "%04u-%02u-%02uT%02u:%02u:%02uZ",
+ dt->year, dt->month, dt->day,
+ dt->hour, dt->minute, dt->second);
+
+ return (strdup(data));
+ }
+
+You register the callback functions using the +mxmlSetCustomHandlers() function:
++ mxmlSetCustomHandlers(load_custom, + save_custom); ++ + +
The mxmlWalkPrev + and mxmlWalkNext +functions can be used to iterate through the XML node tree:
++ mxml_node_t *node; + + node = mxmlWalkPrev(current, tree, + MXML_DESCEND); + + node = mxmlWalkNext(current, tree, + MXML_DESCEND); ++
In addition, you can find a named element/node using the +mxmlFindElement function:
++ mxml_node_t *node; + + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "name", + "attr", "value", + MXML_DESCEND); ++
The name, attr, and value arguments can be + passed as NULL to act as wildcards, e.g.:
+ + ++ /* Find the first "a" element */ + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", + NULL, NULL, + MXML_DESCEND); ++ + +
+ /* Find the first "a" element with "href" + attribute */ + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", + "href", NULL, + MXML_DESCEND); ++ + +
+ /* Find the first "a" element with "href" + to a URL */ + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, "a", + "href", + "http://www.easysw.com/", + MXML_DESCEND); ++ + +
+ /* Find the first element with a "src" + attribute */ + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, + "src", NULL, + MXML_DESCEND); ++ + +
+ /* Find the first element with a "src" + = "foo.jpg" */ + node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree, NULL, + "src", "foo.jpg", + MXML_DESCEND); ++
You can also iterate with the same function:
+
+ mxml_node_t *node;
+
+ for (node = mxmlFindElement(tree, tree,
+ "name",
+ NULL, NULL,
+ MXML_DESCEND);
+ node != NULL;
+ node = mxmlFindElement(node, tree,
+ "name",
+ NULL, NULL,
+ MXML_DESCEND))
+ {
+ ... do something ...
+ }
+
+
+
+The MXML_DESCEND argument can actually be one of three + constants:
+The previous node from "group" would be the "node" element to the
+ left, while the next node from "group" would be the "node" element to
+ the right.
+
+
This mode is only applicable to the search function; the walk
+ functions treat this as MXML_DESCEND since every call is a
+ first time.
+
+
If you were to walk from the root node "?xml" to the end of the tree + with mxmlWalkNext(), the order would be:
+?xml data node val1 node val2 node val3 group node val4 node val5 + node val6 node val7 node val8
+If you started at "val8" and walked using mxmlWalkPrev(), + the order would be reversed, ending at "?xml".
+The mxmlNewTextf() + and mxmlSetTextf() + functions create and change text nodes, respectively, using printf +-style format strings and arguments. For example, use the following + function call to create a new text node containing a constructed + filename:
++ mxml_node_t *node; + + node = mxmlNewTextf(node, 1, "%s/%s", + path, filename); ++
Getting Started with Mini-XMLThis chapter describes how to write programs that use Mini-XML to + access data in an XML file. Mini-XML provides the following + functionality:
+Mini-XML doesn't do validation or other types of processing on the + data based upon schema files or other sources of definition + information, nor does it support character entities other than those + required by the XML specification.
+Mini-XML provides functions for managing indices of nodes. The + current implementation provides the same functionality as +mxmlFindElement(). The advantage of using an index is that + searching and enumeration of elements is significantly faster. The only + disadvantage is that each index is a static snapshot of the XML + document, so indices are not well suited to XML data that is updated + more often than it is searched. The overhead of creating an index is + approximately equal to walking the XML document tree. Nodes in the + index are sorted by element name and attribute value.
+Indices are stored in +mxml_index_t structures. The +mxmlIndexNew() function creates a new index:
++ mxml_node_t *tree; + mxml_index_t *ind; + + ind = mxmlIndexNew(tree, "element", + "attribute"); ++
The first argument is the XML node tree to index. Normally this will + be a pointer to the ?xml element.
+The second argument contains the element to index; passing NULL + indexes all element nodes alphabetically.
+The third argument contains the attribute to index; passing NULL + causes only the element name to be indexed.
+Once the index is created, the +mxmlIndexEnum(), +mxmlIndexFind(), and +mxmlIndexReset() functions are used to access the nodes in + the index. The +mxmlIndexReset() function resets the "current" node pointer in + the index, allowing you to do new searches and enumerations on the same + index. Typically you will call this function prior to your calls to +mxmlIndexEnum() and +mxmlIndexFind().
+The mxmlIndexEnum() + function enumerates each of the nodes in the index and can be used + in a loop as follows:
+
+ mxml_node_t *node;
+
+ mxmlIndexReset(ind);
+
+ while ((node = mxmlIndexEnum(ind)) != NULL)
+ {
+ // do something with node
+ }
+
+The mxmlIndexFind() + function locates the next occurrence of the named element and + attribute value in the index. It can be used to find all matching + elements in an index, as follows:
+
+ mxml_node_t *node;
+
+ mxmlIndexReset(ind);
+
+ while ((node = mxmlIndexFind(ind, "element",
+ "attr-value"))
+ != NULL)
+ {
+ // do something with node
+ }
+
+The second and third arguments represent the element name and + attribute value, respectively. A NULL pointer is used to + return all elements or attributes in the index. Passing NULL + for both the element name and attribute value is equivalent to calling +mxmlIndexEnum.
+When you are done using the index, delete it using the +mxmlIndexDelete() function:
++ mxmlIndexDelete(ind); ++
If you are using Visual C++, copy the mxml.lib and and + mxml.h files to the Visual C++ lib and include + directories, respectively.
+Otherwise, use the make command with the install + target to install Mini-XML in the configured directories:
++ make install ENTER ++
IntroductionThis programmers manual describes Mini-XML version 2.3, a small XML + parsing library that you can use to read and write XML data files in + your C and C++ applications.
+Mini-XML was initially developed for the +Gutenprint project to replace the rather large and unwieldy +libxml2 library with something substantially smaller and + easier-to-use. It all began one morning in June of 2003 when Robert + posted the following sentence to the developer's list:
+It's bad enough that we require libxml2, but rolling our + own XML parser is a bit more than we can handle.+
I then replied with:
+Given the limited scope of what you use in XML, it + should be trivial to code a mini-XML API in a few hundred lines of + code.+
I took my own challenge and coded furiously for two days to produced + the initial public release of Mini-XML, total lines of code: 696. + Robert promptly integrated Mini-XML into Gutenprint and removed + libxml2.
+Thanks to lots of feedback and support from various developers, + Mini-XML has evolved since then to provide a more complete XML + implementation and now stands at a whopping 3,441 lines of code, + compared to 103,893 lines of code for libxml2 version 2.6.9.
+Aside from Gutenprint, Mini-XML is used for the following + projects/software applications:
+ +Please email me (mxml @ easysw . com) if you would like your project + added or removed from this list, or if you have any comments/quotes you + would like me to publish about your experiences with Mini-XML.

Library ReferenceChapter 2 introduced the +mxmlLoadFile() and +mxmlLoadString() functions. The last argument to these + functions is a callback function which is used to determine the value + type of each data node in an XML document.
+Mini-XML defines several standard callbacks for simple XML data + files:
+You can provide your own callback functions for more complex XML + documents. Your callback function will receive a pointer to the current + element node and must return the value type of the immediate children + for that element node: MXML_INTEGER, MXML_OPAQUE, +MXML_REAL, or MXML_TEXT. The function is called after + the element and its attributes have been read, so you can look at the + element name, attributes, and attribute values to determine the proper + value type to return.
+ + +The following callback function looks for an attribute named "type" + or the element name to determine the value type for its child nodes:
+
+ mxml_type_t
+ type_cb(mxml_node_t *node)
+ {
+ const char *type;
+
+ /*
+ * You can lookup attributes and/or use the
+ * element name, hierarchy, etc...
+ */
+
+ type = mxmlElementGetAttr(node, "type");
+ if (type == NULL)
+ type = node->value.element.name;
+
+ if (!strcmp(type, "integer"))
+ return (MXML_INTEGER);
+ else if (!strcmp(type, "opaque"))
+ return (MXML_OPAQUE);
+ else if (!strcmp(type, "real"))
+ return (MXML_REAL);
+ else
+ return (MXML_TEXT);
+ }
+
+To use this callback function, simply use the name when you call any + of the load functions:
+
+ FILE *fp;
+ mxml_node_t *tree;
+
+ fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r");
+ tree = mxmlLoadFile(NULL, fp, type_cb);
+ fclose(fp);
+
+You load an XML file using the +mxmlLoadFile function:
+
+ FILE *fp;
+ mxml_node_t *tree;
+
+ fp = fopen("filename.xml", "r");
+ tree = mxmlLoadFile(NULL, fp,
+ MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK);
+ fclose(fp);
+
+The first argument specifies an existing XML parent node, if any. + Normally you will pass NULL for this argument unless you are + combining multiple XML sources. The XML file must contain a complete + XML document including the ?xml element if the parent node is +NULL.
+The second argument specifies the stdio file to read from, as opened + by fopen() or popen(). You can also use stdin + if you are implementing an XML filter program.
+The third argument specifies a callback function which returns the + value type of the immediate children for a new element node: +MXML_CUSTOM, MXML_IGNORE, MXML_INTEGER, +MXML_OPAQUE, MXML_REAL, or MXML_TEXT. Load + callbacks are described in detail in +Chapter 3. The example code uses the MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK + constant which specifies that all data nodes in the document contain + whitespace-separated text values. Other standard callbacks include +MXML_IGNORE_CALLBACK, MXML_INTEGER_CALLBACK, +MXML_OPAQUE_CALLBACK, and MXML_REAL_CALLBACK.
+The mxmlLoadString + function loads XML node trees from a string:
+ + ++ char buffer[8192]; + mxml_node_t *tree; + + ... + tree = mxmlLoadString(NULL, buffer, + MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK); ++
The first and third arguments are the same as used for +mxmlLoadFile(). The second argument specifies the string or + character buffer to load and must be a complete XML document including + the ?xml element if the parent node is NULL.
+ + +Create a new custom data node.
+The new custom node is added to the end of the specified parent's + child list. The constant MXML_NO_PARENT can be used to specify that the + new element node has no parent. NULL can be passed when the data in the + node is not dynamically allocated or is separately managed.

+ numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
Preamble
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom + to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses + are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free + software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
+This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some + specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any + other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your + libraries, too.
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not + price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you + have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for + this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it + if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in + new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid + anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. + These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you + distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
+For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis + or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave + you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source + code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete + object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the + library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And + you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the + library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal + permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
+Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that + everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. + If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its + recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so + that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original + authors' reputations.
+Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software + patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free + software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect + transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we + have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free + use or not licensed at all.
+Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the + ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility + programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies + to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from + the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that + anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.
+The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is + that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or + adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a + library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using + the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or + application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked + executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, + and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.
+Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General + Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software + sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We + concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
+However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the + users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the + libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended + to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while + preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free + libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to + achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved + it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope + is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and + modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a + "work based on the libary" and a "work that uses the library". The + former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only + works together with the library.
+Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary + General Public License rather than by this special one.
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND + MODIFICATION
+0. This License Agreement applies to any software + library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other + authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this + Library General Public License (also called "this License"). Each + licensee is addressed as "you".
+A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data + prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs + (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
+The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work + which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the + Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under + copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a + portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated + straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is + included without limitation in the term "modification".)
+"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for + making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means + all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated + interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control + compilation and installation of the library.
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not + covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running + a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a + program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the + Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing + it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the + program that uses the Library does.
+1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of + the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, + provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy + an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact + all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any + warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and + you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library + or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and + copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of + Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+a) The modified work must itself be a software + library.
+b) You must cause the files modified to carry + prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of + any change.
+c) You must cause the whole of the work to be + licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this + License.
+d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a + function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program + that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the + facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure + that, in the event an application does not supply such function or + table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its + purpose remains meaningful.
+(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a + purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. + Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied + function or table used by this function must be optional: if the + application does not supply it, the square root function must still + compute square roots.)
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, + and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in + themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those + sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you + distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based + on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of + this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the + entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote + it.
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest + your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to + exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or + collective works based on the Library.
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the + Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a + volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other + work under the scope of this License.
+3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary + GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of + the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to + this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public + License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version + than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, + then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any + other change in these notices.
+Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that + copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all + subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
+This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the + Library into a program that is not a library.
+4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a + portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or + executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that + you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 + and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
+If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy + from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the + source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute + the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy + the source along with the object code.
+5. A program that contains no derivative of any + portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by + being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the + Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the + Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
+However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library + creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it + contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the + library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section + 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
+When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file + that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a + derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. + Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be + linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The + threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
+If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure + layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten + lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is + unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. + (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library + will still fall under Section 6.)
+Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may + distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. + Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether + or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
+6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may + also compile or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to + produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that + work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit + modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse + engineering for debugging such modifications.
+You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the + Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by + this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work + during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the + copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference + directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one + of these things:
+b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid + for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified + in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of + performing this distribution.
+c) If distribution of the work is made by offering + access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy + the above specified materials from the same place.
+d) Verify that the user has already received a copy + of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
+For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the + Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for + reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, + the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally + distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components + (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the + executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the + executable.
+It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license + restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally + accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot + use both them and the Library together in an executable that you + distribute.
+7. You may place library facilities that are a work + based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with + other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute + such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the + work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is + otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
+b) Give prominent notice with the combined library + of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and + explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same + work.
+8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, + or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this + License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, + or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate + your rights under this License. However, parties who have received + copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their + licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+9. You are not required to accept this License, + since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you + permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. + These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. + Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based + on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, + and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying + the Library or works based on it.
+10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any + work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a + license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or + modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not + impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the + rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance + by third parties to this License.
+11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or + allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited + to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court + order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this + License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If + you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations + under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a + consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if + a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the + Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through + you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would + be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under + any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to + apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other + circumstances.
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any + patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any + such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the + integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented + by public license practices. Many people have made generous + contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that + system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up + to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute + software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that + choice.
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to + be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is + restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted + interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under + this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation + excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or + among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License + incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised + and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to + time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present + version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library + specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any + later version", you have the option of following the terms and + conditions either of that version or of any later version published by + the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license + version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free + Software Foundation.
+14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library + into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible + with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software + which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free + Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our + decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status + of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing + and reuse of software generally.
+NO WARRANTY
+15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, + THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY + APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT + HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT + WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT + LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A + PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE + OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU + ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR + AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO + MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE + LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL + OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE + LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING + RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A + FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF + SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH + DAMAGES.
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
+If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest + possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that + everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting + redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of + the ordinary General Public License).
+To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It + is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most + effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have + at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is + found.
+one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.

More Mini-XML Programming
+ TechniquesThis chapter shows additional ways to use the Mini-XML library in + your programs.
+Every piece of information in an XML file (elements, text, numbers) + is stored in memory in "nodes". Nodes are defined by the +mxml_node_t structure. The type + member defines the node type (element, integer, opaque, real, or + text) which determines which value you want to look at in the +value union.
+ + +| Value | Type | Node member |
|---|---|---|
| Custom | void * | +node->value.custom.data |
| Element | char * | +node->value.element.name |
| Integer | int | node->value.integer + |
| Opaque (string) | char * | +node->value.opaque |
| Real | double | node->value.real | +
| Text | char * | node->value.text.string + |
Each node also has a user_data member which allows you to + associate application-specific data with each node as needed.
+New nodes are created using the +mxmlNewElement, +mxmlNewInteger, +mxmlNewOpaque, +mxmlNewReal, +mxmlNewText +mxmlNewTextf +mxmlNewXML functions. Only elements can have child nodes, and + the top node must be an element, usually the <?xml version="1.0"?> + node created by mxmlNewXML().
+Nodes have pointers to the node above (parent), below ( +child), left (prev), and right (next) of the + current node. If you have an XML file like the following:
++ <?xml version="1.0"?> + <data> + <node>val1</node> + <node>val2</node> + <node>val3</node> + <group> + <node>val4</node> + <node>val5</node> + <node>val6</node> + </group> + <node>val7</node> + <node>val8</node> + </data> ++
the node tree for the file would look like the following in memory:
++ ?xml + | + data + | + node - node - node - group - node - node + | | | | | | + val1 val2 val3 | val7 val8 + | + node - node - node + | | | + val4 val5 val6 ++
where "-" is a pointer to the next node and "|" is a pointer to the + first child node.
+Once you are done with the XML data, use the +mxmlDelete function to recursively free the memory that is + used for a particular node or the entire tree:
++ mxmlDelete(tree); ++ + +
Various font and syntax conventions are used in this guide. Examples + and their meanings and uses are explained below:

Release NotesMini-XML supports an implementation of the Simple API for XML (SAX) + which allows you to load and process an XML document as a stream of + nodes. Aside from allowing you to process XML documents of any size, + the Mini-XML implementation also allows you to retain portions of the + document in memory for later processing.
+The mxmlSAXLoadFd, +mxmlSAXLoadFile, and +mxmlSAXLoadString functions provide the SAX loading APIs. + Each function works like the corresponding mxmlLoad function + but uses a callback to process each node as it is read.
+The callback function receives the node, an event code, and a user + data pointer you supply:
+
+ void
+ sax_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ mxml_sax_event_t event,
+ void *data)
+ {
+ ... do something ...
+ }
+
+The event will be one of the following:
+Elements are released after the close element is processed. + All other nodes are released after they are processed. The SAX callback + can retain the node using the +mxmlRetain function. For example, the following SAX + callback will retain all nodes, effectively simulating a normal + in-memory load:
+
+ void
+ sax_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ mxml_sax_event_t event,
+ void *data)
+ {
+ if (event != MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_CLOSE)
+ mxmlRetain(node);
+ }
+
+More typically the SAX callback will only retain a small portion of + the document that is needed for post-processing. For example, the + following SAX callback will retain the title and headings in an XHTML + file. It also retains the (parent) elements like <html>, +<head>, and <body>, and processing directives like +<?xml ... ?> and <!DOCTYPE ... >:
+ + +
+ void
+ sax_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ mxml_sax_event_t event,
+ void *data)
+ {
+ if (event == MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_OPEN)
+ {
+ /*
+ * Retain headings and titles...
+ */
+
+ char *name = node->value.element.name;
+
+ if (!strcmp(name, "html") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "head") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "title") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "body") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h1") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h2") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h3") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h4") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h5") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h6"))
+ mxmlRetain(node);
+ }
+ else if (event == MXML_SAX_DIRECTIVE)
+ mxmlRetain(node);
+ else if (event == MXML_SAX_DATA &&
+ node->parent->ref_count > 1)
+ {
+ /*
+ * If the parent was retained, then retain
+ * this data node as well.
+ */
+
+ mxmlRetain(node);
+ }
+ }
+
+The resulting skeleton document tree can then be searched just like + one loaded using the mxmlLoad functions. For example, a filter + that reads an XHTML document from stdin and then shows the title and + headings in the document would look like:
+
+ mxml_node_t *doc, *title, *body, *heading;
+
+ doc = mxmlSAXLoadFd(NULL, 0,
+ MXML_TEXT_CALLBACK,
+ sax_cb, NULL);
+
+ title = mxmlFindElement(doc, doc, "title",
+ NULL, NULL,
+ MXML_DESCEND);
+
+ if (title)
+ print_children(title);
+
+ body = mxmlFindElement(doc, doc, "body",
+ NULL, NULL,
+ MXML_DESCEND);
+
+ if (body)
+ {
+ for (heading = body->child;
+ heading;
+ heading = heading->next)
+ print_children(heading);
+ }
+
+Chapter 2 also introduced the +mxmlSaveFile(), +mxmlSaveString(), and +mxmlSaveAllocString() functions. The last argument to these + functions is a callback function which is used to automatically insert + whitespace in an XML document.
+Your callback function will be called up to four times for each + element node with a pointer to the node and a "where" value of +MXML_WS_BEFORE_OPEN, MXML_WS_AFTER_OPEN, +MXML_WS_BEFORE_CLOSE, or MXML_WS_AFTER_CLOSE. The callback + function should return NULL if no whitespace should be added + and the string to insert (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, and newlines) + otherwise.
+The following whitespace callback can be used to add whitespace to + XHTML output to make it more readable in a standard text editor:
+
+ const char *
+ whitespace_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ int where)
+ {
+ const char *name;
+
+ /*
+ * We can conditionally break to a new line
+ * before or after any element. These are
+ * just common HTML elements...
+ */
+
+ name = node->value.element.name;
+
+ if (!strcmp(name, "html") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "head") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "body") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "pre") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "p") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h1") ||
+ !strcmp(name, "h2") ||

+
+To use this callback function, simply use the name when you call any + of the save functions:
+
+ FILE *fp;
+ mxml_node_t *tree;
+
+ fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w");
+ mxmlSaveFile(tree, fp, whitespace_cb);
+ fclose(fp);
+
+
+
+You save an XML file using the +mxmlSaveFile function:
+
+ FILE *fp;
+ mxml_node_t *tree;
+
+ fp = fopen("filename.xml", "w");
+ mxmlSaveFile(tree, fp, MXML_NO_CALLBACK);
+ fclose(fp);
+
+The first argument is the XML node tree to save. It should normally + be a pointer to the top-level ?xml node in your XML document.
+The second argument is the stdio file to write to, as opened by +fopen() or popen(). You can also use stdout if + you are implementing an XML filter program.
+The third argument is the whitespace callback to use when saving the + file. Whitespace callbacks are covered in detail in +Chapter 3. The previous example code uses the MXML_NO_CALLBACK + constant to specify that no special whitespace handling is required.
+The +mxmlSaveAllocString, and +mxmlSaveString functions save XML node trees to strings:
++ char buffer[8192]; + char *ptr; + mxml_node_t *tree; + + ... + mxmlSaveString(tree, buffer, sizeof(buffer), + MXML_NO_CALLBACK); + + ... + ptr = mxmlSaveAllocString(tree, MXML_NO_CALLBACK); ++
The first and last arguments are the same as used for +mxmlSaveFile(). The mxmlSaveString function takes pointer + and size arguments for saving the XML document to a fixed-size buffer, + while mxmlSaveAllocString() returns a string buffer that was + allocated using malloc().
+Mini-XML provides a single header file which you include:
++ #include <mxml.h> ++
The Mini-XML library is included with your program using the +-lmxml option:
++ gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c -lmxml ENTER ++
If you have the pkg-config(1) software installed, you can + use it to determine the proper compiler and linker options for your + installation:
++ pkg-config --cflags mxml ENTER + pkg-config --libs mxml ENTER ++
Originally developed to generate the Mini-XML and CUPS API + documentation, mxmldoc is now a general-purpose utility which + scans C and C++ source files to produce HTML and man page documentation + along with an XML file representing the functions, types, and + definitions in those source files. Unlike popular documentation + generators like Doxygen or Javadoc, mxmldoc uses in-line + comments rather than comment headers, allowing for more "natural" code + documentation.
+By default, mxmldoc produces HTML documentation. For + example, the following command will scan all of the C source and header + files in the current directory and produce a HTML documentation file + called filename.html:
++ mxmldoc *.h *.c >filename.html ENTER ++
You can also specify an XML file to create which contains all of the + information from the source files. For example, the following command + creates an XML file called filename.xml in addition to the + HTML file:
++ mxmldoc filename.xml *.h *.c >filename.html ENTER ++
The --no-output option disables the normal HTML output:
++ mxmldoc --no-output filename.xml *.h *.c ENTER ++
You can then run mxmldoc again with the XML file alone to + generate the HTML documentation:
++ mxmldoc filename.xml >filename.html ENTER ++
The --man filename option tells mxmldoc to create a + man page instead of HTML documentation, for example:
++ mxmldoc --man filename filename.xml \ + >filename.man ENTER + + mxmldoc --man filename *.h *.c \ + >filename.man ENTER + + mxmldoc --man filename filename.xml *.h *.c \ + >filename.man ENTER ++
Mxmldoc also provides options to set the title, section, and + introduction text for the generated documentation. The --title text + option specifies the title for the documentation. The title string is + usually put in quotes:
++ mxmldoc filename.xml \ + --title "My Famous Documentation" \ + >filename.html ENTER ++
The --section name option specifies the section for the + documentation. For HTML documentation, the name is placed in a HTML + comment such as:
++ <!-- SECTION: name --> ++
For man pages, the section name is usually just a number ("3"), or a + number followed by a vendor name ("3acme"). The section name is used in + the .TH directive in the man page:
++ .TH mylibrary 3acme "My Title" ... ++
The default section name for man page output is "3". There is no + default section name for HTML output.
+Finally, the --intro filename option specifies a file to + embed after the title and section but before the generated + documentation. For HTML documentation, the file must consist of valid + HTML without the usual DOCTYPE, html, and body + elements. For man page documentation, the file must consist of valid +nroff(1) text.
+
Using the mxmldoc UtilityThis chapter describes how to use mxmldoc(1) program to + automatically generate documentation from C and C++ source files.

+Mini-XML was initially developed for the +Gutenprint project to replace the rather large and unwieldy libxml2 library with something substantially smaller and easier-to-use. It all began one morning in June of 2003 when Robert posted the following sentence to the developer's list:

Thanks to lots of feedback and support from various developers, Mini-XML has evolved since then to provide a more complete XML - implementation and now stands at a whopping 2,974 lines of code, - compared to 103,893 lines of code for libxml2 version 2.6.9. Aside from - Gimp-Print, Mini-XML is used for the following projects/software - applications:

+Creating XML Documents

+ mxml_node_t *data; /* <data> */

+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val7");
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");
+ mxmlNewText(node, 0, "val8");
+
+We start by creating the <?xml version="1.0"?> node common
+ to all XML files using the mxmlNewXML
+ function:
+
+ xml = mxmlNewXML("1.0");
+
+We then create the <data> node used for this document using
+ the mxmlNewElement function. The
+ first argument specifies the parent node (xml) while the
+ second specifies the element name (data):
+
+ data = mxmlNewElement(xml, "data");
+
+Each <node>...</node> in the file is created using the
+mxmlNewElement and mxmlNewText
+ functions. The first argument of mxmlNewText specifies the
+ parent node (node). The second argument specifies whether
+ whitespace appears before the text - 0 or false in this case. The last
+ argument specifies the actual text to add:
+
+ node = mxmlNewElement(data, "node");

The first and last arguments are the same as used for
-mxmlSaveFile(). The mxmlSaveString() function takes
- pointer and size arguments for saving the XML document to a fixed-size
- buffer, while mxmlSaveAllocString() returns a string buffer
- that was allocated using malloc().

-The mxmlWalkPrev() and
-mxmlWalkNext()functions can be used to iterate through the
+mxmlSaveFile(). The mxmlSaveString function takes pointer

+Controlling Line Wrapping
+When saving XML documents, Mini-XML normally wraps output lines at
+ column 75 so that the text is readable in terminal windows. The
+mxmlSetWrapMargin function overrides the default wrap
+ margin:
+
+ /* Set the margin to 132 columns */
+ mxmlSetWrapMargin(132);
+
+ /* Disable wrapping */
+ mxmlSetWrapMargin(0);
+
+
+
+Finding and Iterating Nodes
+The mxmlWalkPrev and
+mxmlWalkNextfunctions can be used to iterate through the
XML node tree:
- mxml_node_t *node = mxmlWalkPrev(current, tree, MXML_DESCEND);
+ mxml_node_t *node;
+
+ node = mxmlWalkPrev(current, tree,
+ MXML_DESCEND);
- mxml_node_t *node = mxmlWalkNext(current, tree, MXML_DESCEND);

In addition, you can find a named element/node using the
-mxmlFindElement() function:
+mxmlFindElement function:

-4 - Using the mxmldoc Utility
-This chapter describes how to use the mxmldoc(1) utility
- that comes with Mini-XML to automatically generate documentation for
- your programs.
-The Basics
-The mxmldoc utility scans C and C++ source and header files
- and produces an XML file describing the library interface and an XHTML
- file providing a human-readable reference to the code. Each source and
- header file must conform to some simple code commenting conventions so
- that mxmldoc can extract the necessary descriptive text.
-The mxmldoc command requires the name of an XML file to
- store the code information; this file is created and updated as
- necessary. The XML file is optionally followed by a list of source
- files to scan. After scanning any source files on the command-line,
-mxmldoc writes XHTML documentation to the standard output, which
- can be redirected to the file using the >filename syntax:
-
- mxmldoc myfile.xml >myfile.html ENTER
- mxmldoc myfile.xml file1.c file2.cxx file3.h >myfile.html ENTER
-
-If no source files are provided on the command-line, the current
- contents of the XML file are converted to XHTML.
-Code Documentation Conventions
-As noted previously, source code must be commented properly for
-mxmldoc to generate correct documentation for the code. Single line
- comments can use the C++ // comment sequence, however all
- multi-line comments must use the C /* ... */ comment sequence.
-Functions and Methods
-All implementations of functions and methods must begin with a
- comment header describing what the function does, the possible input
- limits (if any), and the possible output values (if any), and any
- special information needed, as follows:
-
- /*
- * 'do_this()' - Compute y = this(x).
- *
- * Notes: none.
- */
-
- float /* O - Inverse power value, 0.0 <= y <= 1.1 */
- do_this(float x) /* I - Power value (0.0 <= x <= 1.1) */
+SAX (Stream) Loading of Documents
+Mini-XML supports an implementation of the Simple API for XML (SAX)
+ which allows you to load and process an XML document as a stream of
+ nodes. Aside from allowing you to process XML documents of any size,
+ the Mini-XML implementation also allows you to retain portions of the
+ document in memory for later processing.
+The mxmlSAXLoadFd,
+mxmlSAXLoadFile, and
+mxmlSAXLoadString functions provide the SAX loading APIs. Each
+ function works like the corresponding mxmlLoad function but
+ uses a callback to process each node as it is read.
+The callback function receives the node, an event code, and a user
+ data pointer you supply:
+
+ void
+ sax_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ mxml_sax_event_t event,
+ void *data)
{
- ...
- return (y);
+ ... do something ...
}
-Return/output values are indicated using an "O" prefix, input values
- are indicated using the "I" prefix, and values that are both input and
- output use the "IO" prefix for the corresponding in-line comment.
-Variables and Class/Structure/Union Members
-Each variable or member must be declared on a separate line and must
- be immediately followed by a comment describing the variable or member,
- as follows:
-
- int this_variable; /* The current state of this */
- int that_variable; /* The current state of that */
-
-Types
-Each type must have a comment block immediately before the typedef,
- as follows:
-
- /*
- * This type is for foobar options.
- */
- typedef int this_type_t;
+The event will be one of the following:
+
+- MXML_SAX_CDATA - CDATA was just read
+- MXML_SAX_COMMENT - A comment was just read
+- MXML_SAX_DATA - Data (custom, integer, opaque, real, or
+ text) was just read
+- MXML_SAX_DIRECTIVE - A processing directive was just read
+- MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_CLOSE - An open element was just read (
+<element>)
+- MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_OPEN - A close element was just read (
+</element>)
+
+Elements are released after the close element is processed.
+ All other nodes are released after they are processed. The SAX callback
+ can retain the node using the
+mxmlRetain function. For example, the following SAX callback
+ will retain all nodes, effectively simulating a normal in-memory load:
+
+ void
+ sax_cb(mxml_node_t *node,
+ mxml_sax_event_t event,
+ void *data)
+ {
+ if (event != MXML_SAX_ELEMENT_CLOSE)
+ mxmlRetain(node);
+ }
+More typically the SAX callback will only retain a small portion of
+ the document that is needed for post-processing. For example, the
+ following SAX callback will retain the title and headings in an XHTML
+ file. It also retains the (parent) elements like <html>,
+<head>, and <body>, and processing directives like
+<?xml ... ?> and <!DOCTYPE ... >:
-
-Classes, Structures, and Unions

-Enumerations
-Each enumeration must have a comment block immediately before the
- definition describing what the enumeration is for, and each enumeration
- value must have a comment immediately after the value, as follows:
+The resulting skeleton document tree can then be searched just like
+ one loaded using the mxmlLoad functions. For example, a filter
+ that reads an XHTML document from stdin and then shows the title and
+ headings in the document would look like:
- /*

+Using the mxmldoc Utility
+This chapter describes how to use mxmldoc(1) program to
+ automatically generate documentation from C and C++ source files.
+The Basics
+Originally developed to generate the Mini-XML and CUPS API
+ documentation, mxmldoc is now a general-purpose utility which
+ scans C and C++ source files to produce HTML and man page documentation
+ along with an XML file representing the functions, types, and
+ definitions in those source files. Unlike popular documentation
+ generators like Doxygen or Javadoc, mxmldoc uses in-line
+ comments rather than comment headers, allowing for more "natural" code
+ documentation.
+By default, mxmldoc produces HTML documentation. For
+ example, the following command will scan all of the C source and header
+ files in the current directory and produce a HTML documentation file
+ called filename.html:
+
+ mxmldoc *.h *.c >filename.html ENTER
+
+You can also specify an XML file to create which contains all of the
+ information from the source files. For example, the following command
+ creates an XML file called filename.xml in addition to the
+ HTML file:
+
+ mxmldoc filename.xml *.h *.c >filename.html ENTER
+
+The --no-output option disables the normal HTML output:
+
+ mxmldoc --no-output filename.xml *.h *.c ENTER
+
+You can then run mxmldoc again with the XML file alone to
+ generate the HTML documentation:
+
+ mxmldoc filename.xml >filename.html ENTER
+
+The --man filename option tells mxmldoc to create a
+ man page instead of HTML documentation, for example:
+
+ mxmldoc --man filename filename.xml \
+ >filename.man ENTER
+

+
+Commenting Your Code
+As noted previously, mxmldoc looks for in-line comments to
+ describe the functions, types, and constants in your code. Mxmldoc
+ will document all public names it finds in your source files - any
+ names starting with the underscore character (_) or names that are
+ documented with the @private@ directive are
+ treated as private and are undocumented.
+Comments appearing directly before a function or type definition are
+ used to document that function or type. Comments appearing after
+ argument, definition, return type, or variable declarations are used to
+ document that argument, definition, return type, or variable. For
+ example, the following code excerpt defines a key/value structure and a
+ function that creates a new instance of that structure:
+
+ /* A key/value pair. This is used with the
+ dictionary structure. */
+
+ struct keyval
+ {
+ char *key; /* Key string */
+ char *val; /* Value string */
+ };

+
+ struct keyval * /* New key/value pair */
+ new_keyval(
+ const char *key, /* Key string */
+ const char *val) /* Value string */
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Mxmldoc also knows to remove extra asterisks (*) from the
+ comment string, so the comment string:

+Titles, Sections, and Introductions
+Mxmldoc also provides options to set the title, section, and
+ introduction text for the generated documentation. The --title text
+ option specifies the title for the documentation. The title string is
+ usually put in quotes:
+
+ mxmldoc filename.xml \
+ --title "My Famous Documentation" \
+ >filename.html ENTER
+
+The --section name option specifies the section for the
+ documentation. For HTML documentation, the name is placed in a HTML
+ comment such as:
+
+ <!-- SECTION: name -->
+
+For man pages, the section name is usually just a number ("3"), or a
+ number followed by a vendor name ("3acme"). The section name is used in
+ the .TH directive in the man page:
+
+ .TH mylibrary 3acme "My Title" ...
+
+The default section name for man page output is "3". There is no
+ default section name for HTML output.
+Finally, the --intro filename option specifies a file to
+ embed after the title and section but before the generated
+ documentation. For HTML documentation, the file must consist of valid
+ HTML without the usual DOCTYPE, html, and body
+ elements. For man page documentation, the file must consist of valid
+nroff(1) text.
