NAME
gfs_pio_readdelim - read one record
SYNOPSIS
#include <gfarm/gfarm.h>
char *gfs_pio_readdelim (GFS_File f, char **bufp, size_t *sizep, size_t
*lenp, char *delimiter, size_t delimlen);
DESCRIPTION
gfs_pio_readdelim() works like gfs_pio_readline(), except a delimiter
of input records is not always newline, and can be specified. This
function reads one record from the file specified by the parameter gf,
by using the parameter delimiter as the delimiter of the input records.
You can include ’\0’ character in the delimiter, So, you have to
specify the length of the delimiter by the parameter delimlen. If
parameter delimiter is NULL, this function reads entire file as one
record. Otherwise, and if the parameter delimlen is 0, this function
treats two or more consecutive empty lines (/\n\n+/ in a regular
expression) as the input delimiter. This feature is derived from
INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR in perl language.
Parameter bufp specifies an address of a pointer variable initialzed by
NULL at first. gfs_pio_readdelim() allocates a buffer for I/O
dynamically, and stores the address of the buffer to this variable
pointed by bufp. Parameter sizep specifies an address of a size_t
variable initialized by 0. This size_t variable is used to record the
size of the buffer. Or, you can specify a buffer allocated by
malloc(3) in the variable pointed by the parameter bufp. In this case,
you have to specify the size of the allocated buffer by the parameter
sizep. If the length of the record exceeds the size of the buffer, the
buffer will be automatically realloc(3)ed, and the variable pointed by
bufp and sizep will be updated respectively. Note that you are
responsible to free(3) this buffer.
This function returns the length of the record to a variable pointed by
the parameter lenp. This length includes the length of the record
delimiter.
This function doesn’t remove the delimiter at the end of records.
Also, despite that you can use the value returned by the variable
pointed by lenp, this function always appends \0’ character at the end
of records.
If the file reaches its end, the length of the result record becomes 0.
gfs_pio_readdelim(f, bufp, sizep, lenp, "\n", 1) is equivalent to
gfs_pio_readline() function.
RETURN VALUES
NULL The function terminated successfully.
GFARM_ERR_NO_MEMORY
Insufficient memory was available.
Note that you need to free(3) the buffer pointed by the
parameter bufp
Others An error except the above occurred. The reason is shown by its
pointed strings.
