Modules

 Benchmark
 These functions allow you to add benchmark framework in a project for timing critical part and detect slow parts of code.
 Convert
 These functions allow you to convert integer or real numbers to string or conversely.
 Counter
 These functions allow you to get the time spent in a part of a code.
 Error
 These functions provide error management for projects.
 Lazy allocator
 Lock
 These functions provide Mutual Exclusion objects management.
 Log
 Full-featured logging system.
 Magic
 Eina_Magic provides run-time type-checking.
 Memory Pool
 These functions provide memory pool management.
 Module
 Eina module provides some helpers over POSIX dlopen().
 Rectangle
 These functions provide rectangle management.
 Safety Checks
 Safety checks are a set of macros to check for parameters or values that should never happen, it is similar in concept to assert(), but will log and return instead of abort() your program.
 Simple_XML
 Simplistic relaxed SAX-like XML parser.
 String
 Provide useful functions for C string manipulation.
 File
 Functions to handle files and directories.

Enumeration Type Documentation

define extended attribute creation

Since
1.1
Enumerator:
EINA_XATTR_INSERT 

This is the default behaviour, it will either create or replace the extended attribute.

EINA_XATTR_REPLACE 

This will only succeed if the extended attribute previously existed.

EINA_XATTR_CREATED 

This will only succeed if the extended attribute wasn't previously set.

Function Documentation

Eina_Iterator* eina_xattr_ls ( const char *  file)

Get an iterator that list all extended attribute of a file.

Parameters
fileThe filename to retrieve the extended attribute list from.
Returns
an iterator.

The iterator will not allocate any data during the iteration step, so you need to copy them yourself if you need.

Since
1.1

Eina_Iterator* eina_xattr_value_ls ( const char *  file)

Get an iterator that list all extended attribute value related to a fd.

Parameters
fileThe filename to retrieve the extended attribute list from.
Returns
an iterator.

The iterator will not allocate any data during the iteration step, so you need to copy them yourself if you need. The iterator will provide an Eina_Xattr structure.

Eina_Iterator* eina_xattr_fd_ls ( int  fd)

Get an iterator that list all extended attribute related to a fd.

Parameters
fdThe file descriptor to retrieve the extended attribute list from.
Returns
an iterator.

The iterator will not allocate any data during the iteration step, so you need to copy them yourself if you need.

Eina_Iterator* eina_xattr_value_fd_ls ( int  fd)

Get an iterator that list all extended attribute value related to a fd.

Parameters
fdThe file descriptor to retrieve the extended attribute list from.
Returns
an iterator.

The iterator will not allocate any data during the iteration step, so you need to copy them yourself if you need. The iterator will provide an Eina_Xattr structure.
