Detailed Description

Arrays are used to store data which is referenced sequentially or as a stack. Functions are provided to push and pop individual elements as well as to operate on the entire array.

Tables are used to store data which can be referenced by key. Limited capabilities are provided for tables with multiple elements which share a key; while key lookup will return only a single element, iteration is available. Additionally, a table can be compressed to resolve duplicates.

Both arrays and tables may store string or binary data; some features, such as concatenation or merging of elements, work only for string data.

const apr_array_header_t arr,
const char  sep 
)

Generate a new string from the apr_pool_t containing the concatenated sequence of substrings referenced as elements within the array.

keyThe key to search for (case does not matter)
Returns
The value associated with the key, or NULL if the key does not exist.

◆ apr_table_make()

apr_table_t* apr_table_make ( apr_pool_t p,
int  nelts 
)

Make a new table.

Parameters
pThe pool to allocate the pool out of
neltsThe number of elements in the initial table.
Returns
The new table.
Warning
This table can only store text data

◆ apr_table_merge()

void apr_table_merge ( apr_table_t t,
const char *  key,
const char *  val 
)

Add data to a table by merging the value with data that has already been stored. The merging is done by concatenating the two values, separated by the string ", ".

Parameters
tThe table to search for the data
keyThe key to merge data for (case does not matter)
valThe data to add
Remarks
If the key is not found, then this function acts like apr_table_add()

◆ apr_table_mergen()

void apr_table_mergen ( apr_table_t t,
const char *  key,
const char *  val 
)

Add data to a table by merging the value with data that has already been stored. The merging is done by concatenating the two values, separated by the string ", ".

Parameters
tThe table to search for the data
keyThe key to merge data for (case does not matter)
valThe data to add
Remarks
If the key is not found, then this function acts like apr_table_addn()

◆ apr_table_overlap()

void apr_table_overlap ( apr_table_t a,
const apr_table_t b,
unsigned  flags 
)

For each element in table b, either use setn or mergen to add the data to table a. Which method is used is determined by the flags passed in.

Parameters
aThe table to add the data to.
bThe table to iterate over, adding its data to table a
flagsHow to add the table to table a. One of: APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_SET Use apr_table_setn APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE Use apr_table_mergen APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_ADD Use apr_table_addn
Remarks
When merging duplicates, the two values are concatenated, separated by the string ", ".
This function is highly optimized, and uses less memory and CPU cycles than a function that just loops through table b calling other functions. Conceptually, apr_table_overlap does this:
 apr_array_header_t *barr = apr_table_elts(b);
 apr_table_entry_t *belt = (apr_table_entry_t *)barr->elts;
 int i;

 for (i = 0; i < barr->nelts; ++i) {
     if (flags & APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_MERGE) {
         apr_table_mergen(a, belt[i].key, belt[i].val);
     }
     else if (flags & APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_ADD) {
         apr_table_addn(a, belt[i].key, belt[i].val);
     }
     else {
         apr_table_setn(a, belt[i].key, belt[i].val);
     }
 }

Except that it is more efficient (less space and cpu-time) especially when b has many elements.

Notice the assumptions on the keys and values in b – they must be in an ancestor of a's pool. In practice b and a are usually from the same pool.

◆ apr_table_overlay()

apr_table_t* apr_table_overlay ( apr_pool_t p,
const apr_table_t overlay,
const apr_table_t base 
)

Merge two tables into one new table.

Parameters
pThe pool to use for the new table
overlayThe first table to put in the new table
baseThe table to add at the end of the new table
Returns
A new table containing all of the data from the two passed in

◆ apr_table_set()

void apr_table_set ( apr_table_t t,
const char *  key,
const char *  val 
)

Add a key/value pair to a table. If another element already exists with the same key, this will overwrite the old data.

Parameters
tThe table to add the data to.
keyThe key to use (case does not matter)
valThe value to add
Remarks
When adding data, this function makes a copy of both the key and the value.

◆ apr_table_setn()

void apr_table_setn ( apr_table_t t,
const char *  key,
const char *  val 
)

Add a key/value pair to a table. If another element already exists with the same key, this will overwrite the old data.

Parameters
tThe table to add the data to.
keyThe key to use (case does not matter)
valThe value to add
Warning
When adding data, this function does not make a copy of the key or the value, so care should be taken to ensure that the values will not change after they have been added..

◆ apr_table_unset()

void apr_table_unset ( apr_table_t t,
const char *  key 
)

Remove data from the table.

Parameters
tThe table to remove data from
keyThe key of the data being removed (case does not matter)

◆ apr_table_vdo()

int apr_table_vdo ( apr_table_do_callback_fn_t comp,
void *  rec,
const apr_table_t t,
va_list  vp 
)

Iterate over a table running the provided function once for every element in the table. The vp varargs parameter must be a list of zero or more (char *) keys followed by a NULL pointer. If zero keys are given, the comp function will be invoked for every element in the table. Otherwise, the function is invoked only for those elements matching the keys specified.

If an invocation of the comp function returns zero, iteration will continue using the next specified key, if any.

Parameters
compThe function to run
recThe data to pass as the first argument to the function
tThe table to iterate over
vpList of zero or more (char *) keys followed by NULL
