Description

Details

struct BWriter

struct BWriter;

The BWriter struct is private.


b_writer_new ()

BWriter*    b_writer_new                    (FILE *stream,
                                             gint indent);

Creates a new BWriter which gives a convenient interface to write XML data to stream. The writer should later be freed using b_writer_free().

stream : a FILE stream prepared for writing
indent : how many characters to indent per nesting level
Returns : a newly allocate BWriter

b_writer_free ()

void        b_writer_free                   (BWriter *writer);

Frees the resources allocated for writer. You must not access writer after calling this function.

writer : a BWriter

b_write_header ()

void        b_write_header                  (BWriter *writer,
                                             const gchar *encoding);

Writes an XML header to the stream associated with writer.

writer : a BWriter
encoding : an optional encoding string or NULL

b_write_open_tag ()

void        b_write_open_tag                (BWriter *writer,
                                             const gchar *tag,
                                             ...);

Writes an opening XML tag with the element name tag to the stream associated with writer. You can pass a NULL-terminated list of key/value pairs that are written out as attributes.

writer : a BWriter
tag : the name of the element to open
... : an optional key/value pairs interpreted as attributes

b_write_close_tag ()

void        b_write_close_tag               (BWriter *writer,
                                             const gchar *tag);

Writes a closing XML tag with the element name tag to the stream associated with writer.

writer : a BWriter
tag : the name of the element to close

b_write_element ()

void        b_write_element                 (BWriter *writer,
                                             const gchar *tag,
                                             const gchar *value,
                                             ...);

Writes an XML element with the name tag and the value value to the stream associated with writer. If value is NULL, an empty element is written. You can pass a NULL-terminated list of key/value pairs that are written out as attributes.

writer : a BWriter
tag : the element name
value : the element value
... : an optional key/value pairs interpreted as attributes
