Detailed Description

Create, destroy and search database for objects.

Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

anonymous enum

Flags controlling the behavior of database searches.

Enumerator
LF_SEARCH_LOOSE	This flag selects a looser search algorithm resulting in more results (still sorted by score). If it is not present, all results where at least one of the input words is missing will be discarded.
LF_SEARCH_SORT_AND_UNIQUIFY	This flag makes LensFun to sort the results by focal length, and remove all double lens names. If a lens has entries for different crop factors/aspect ratios, the only best match is included into the result. This is meant to be used to create a list presented to the user to pick a lens. Or, to lookup a lens for which you know maker and model exactly, and to check whether the result list really contains only one element.

Function Documentation

lf_db_destroy()

void lf_db_destroy

(

lfDatabase *

db

)

Destroy the database object.

This is the only way to correctly destroy the database object.

Parameters

db	The database to destroy.

Examples:

		const char *	errcontext,
		const char *	data,
		size_t	data_size

lf_db_new()

lfDatabase* lf_db_new

(

void

)

Create a new empty database object.

Usually the application will want to do this at startup, after which it would be a good idea to call lf_db_load().

Returns

A new empty database object.
