DESCRIPTION
The utility API is a set of routines to handle records on memory eas‐
ily. Especially, extensible string, array list, hash map, and ordered
tree are useful.
To use the utility API, include `tcutil.h' and related standard header
files. Usually, write the following description near the front of a
source file.
#include <tcutil.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>
Objects whose type is pointer to `TCXSTR' are used for extensible
string. An extensible string object is created with the function
`tcxstrnew' and is deleted with the function `tcxstrdel'. Objects
whose type is pointer to `TCLIST' are used for array list. A list
object is created with the function `tclistnew' and is deleted with the
function `tclistdel'. Objects whose type is pointer to `TCMAP' are
used for hash map. A map object is created with the function `tcmap‐
new' and is deleted with the function `tcmapdel'. Objects whose type
is pointer to `TCTREE' are used for ordered tree. A tree object is
created with the function `tctreenew' and is deleted with the function
`tctreedel'. To avoid memory leak, it is important to delete every
object when it is no longer in use.
API OF BASIC UTILITIES
The constant `tcversion' is the string containing the version informa‐
tion.
extern const char *tcversion;
The variable `tcfatalfunc' is the pointer to the call back function for
handling a fatal error.
extern void (*tcfatalfunc)(const char *);
The argument specifies the error message.
The initial value of this variable is `NULL'. If the
value is `NULL', the default function is called when a
fatal error occurs. A fatal error occurs when memory
allocation is failed.
The function `tcmalloc' is used in order to allocate a region on mem‐
ory.
void *tcmalloc(size_t size);
`size' specifies the size of the region.
The return value is the pointer to the allocated region.
This function handles failure of memory allocation
implicitly. Because the region of the return value is
allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released
with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.
The function `tccalloc' is used in order to allocate a nullified region
on memory.
void *tccalloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
`nmemb' specifies the number of elements.
`size' specifies the size of each element.
The return value is the pointer to the allocated nulli‐
fied region.
This function handles failure of memory allocation
implicitly. Because the region of the return value is
allocated with the `calloc' call, it should be released
with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcrealloc' is used in order to re-allocate a region on
memory.
void *tcrealloc(void *ptr, size_t size);
`ptr' specifies the pointer to the region.
`size' specifies the size of the region.
The return value is the pointer to the re-allocated
region.
This function handles failure of memory allocation
implicitly. Because the region of the return value is
allocated with the `realloc' call, it should be released
with the `free' call when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcmemdup' is used in order to duplicate a region on mem‐
ory.
void *tcmemdup(const void *ptr, size_t size);
`ptr' specifies the pointer to the region.
`size' specifies the size of the region.
The return value is the pointer to the allocated region
of the duplicate.
Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
the region of the return value, the return value can be
treated as a character string. Because the region of the
return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it
should be released with the `free' call when it is no
longer in use.
The function `tcstrdup' is used in order to duplicate a string on mem‐
ory.
char *tcstrdup(const void *str);
`str' specifies the string.
The return value is the allocated string equivalent to
the specified string.
Because the region of the return value is allocated with
the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free'
call when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcfree' is used in order to free a region on memory.
void tcfree(void *ptr);
`ptr' specifies the pointer to the region. If it is
`NULL', this function has no effect.
Although this function is just a wrapper of `free' call,
this is useful in applications using another package of
the `malloc' series.

put into an extensible string object.

acters as `s', `d', `o', `u', `x', `X', `c', `e', `E',
`f', `g', `G', `@', `?', `b', and `%'. `@' works as with
`s' but escapes meta characters of XML. `?' works as
with `s' but escapes meta characters of URL. `b' con‐
verts an integer to the string as binary numbers. The
other conversion character work as with each original.
The other arguments are used according to the format
string.
The function `tcsprintf' is used in order to allocate a formatted
string on memory.
char *tcsprintf(const char *format, ...);

acters as `s', `d', `o', `u', `x', `X', `c', `e', `E',

`s' but escapes meta characters of XML. `?' works as
with `s' but escapes meta characters of URL. `b' con‐
verts an integer to the string as binary numbers. The
other conversion character work as with each original.
The other arguments are used according to the format
string.
The return value is the pointer to the region of the
result string.

call when it is no longer in use.
