Typedef Documentation

typedef float lf_f32

The type of a 32-bit floating-point pixel

typedef double lf_f64

The type of a 64-bit floating-point pixel

typedef unsigned short lf_u16

The type of a 16-bit pixel

typedef unsigned int lf_u32

The type of a 32-bit pixel

typedef unsigned char lf_u8

The type of a 8-bit pixel

typedef char* lfMLstr

The storage of "multi-language" strings is simple yet flexible, handy and effective. The first (default) string comes first, terminated by \0 as usual, after that a language code follows, then \0 again, then the translated value and so on. The list terminates as soon as a \0 is encountered instead of next string, e.g. last string in list is terminated with two null characters.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum lfError

liblensfun error codes: negative codes are -errno, positive are here

Enumerator
LF_NO_ERROR	No error occured
LF_WRONG_FORMAT	Wrong XML data format
LF_NO_DATABASE	No database could be loaded

Function Documentation

void lf_free

(

void *

data

)

The basics of memory allocation: never free objects allocated by the library yourselves, instead use this function. It is a direct equivalent of standard C free(), however you should not use free() in the event that the library uses a separate heap.

Parameters

data	A pointer to memory to be freed.

Examples:

lenstool.cpp, and tfun.cpp.

lfMLstr lf_mlstr_add	(	lfMLstr	str,
		const char *	lang,
		const char *	trstr
	)

Add a new translated string to a multi-language string.

This uses realloc() so returned value may differ from input.

Parameters

str	The string to append to. Can be NULL.
lang	The language for the new added string. If NULL, the default string is replaced (the first one in list, without a language designator).
trstr	The translated string

Returns

The reallocated multi-language string. To free a multi-language string, use lf_free().

lfMLstr lf_mlstr_dup

(

const lfMLstr

str

)

Create a complete copy of a multi-language string.

Parameters

str	The string to create a copy of

Returns

A new allocated multi-language string

const char* lf_mlstr_get

(

const lfMLstr

str

)

Get a string corresponding to current locale from a multi-language string.

Current locale is determined from LC_MESSAGES category at the time of the call, e.g. if you change LC_MESSAGES at runtime, next calls to lf_mlstr_get() will return the string for the new locale.

Examples:

example.c, and tfun.cpp.
