1.1 Hash table
==============
-- Special Form: typedef u_int32_t (*cfuhash_function_t)(const void *
KEY, size_t LENGTH)
Prototype for a pointer to a hashing function.
-- Special Form: typedef void (*cfuhash_free_fn_t)(void * DATA)
Prototype for a pointer to a free function.
-- Special Form: typedef int (*cfuhash_remove_fn_t)(void * KEY, size_t
KEY_SIZE, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, void * ARG)
Prototype for a pointer to a function that determines whether or
not to remove an entry from the hash.
-- Special Form: typedef int (*cfuhash_foreach_fn_t)(void * KEY,
size_t KEY_SIZE, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, void * ARG)
Prototype for a pointer to a function to be called foreach
key/value pair in the hash by cfuhash_foreach(). The return
value should normally be zero. A non-zero return value means to
stop iterating over the key/value pairs.
-- Function: cfuhash_table_t * cfuhash_new (size_t SIZE, u_int32_t
FLAGS)
Creates a new hash table.
-- Function: cfuhash_table_t * cfuhash_new_with_initial_size (size_t
SIZE)
Creates a new hash table with the specified size (number of
buckets).
-- Function: cfuhash_table_t * cfuhash_new_with_flags (u_int32_t FLAGS)
Creates a new hash table with the specified flags. Pass zero for
flags if you want the defaults.
-- Function: cfuhash_table_t * cfuhash_new_with_free_fn (size_t SIZE,
u_int32_t FLAGS, cfuhash_free_fn_t FF)
Same as cfuhash_new() except automatically calls
cfuhash_set_free_fn().
-- Function: int cfuhash_copy (cfuhash_table_t * SRC, cfuhash_table_t
* DST)
Copies entries in src to dst
-- Function: cfuhash_table_t * cfuhash_merge (cfuhash_table_t * HT1,
cfuhash_table_t * HT2, u_int32_t FLAGS)
Returns a new hash containing entries from both hash tables. For
any entries with the same key, the one from ht2 wins.
-- Function: int cfuhash_set_hash_function (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
cfuhash_function_t HF)
Sets the hashing function to use when computing which bucket to add
entries to. It should return a 32-bit unsigned integer. By
default, Perl's hashing algorithm is used.
-- Function: int cfuhash_set_thresholds (cfuhash_table_t * HT, float
LOW, float HIGH)
Sets the thresholds for when to rehash. The ratio
num_entries/buckets is compared against low and high. If it is
below 'low' or above 'high', the hash will shrink or grow,
respectively, unless the flags say to do otherwise.
-- Function: int cfuhash_set_free_function (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
cfuhash_free_fn_t FF)
Sets the function to use when removing an entry from the hash,
i.e., when replacing an existing entry, deleting an entry, or
clearing the hash. It is passed the value of the entry as a void
*.
-- Function: u_int32_t cfuhash_get_flags (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Returns the hash's flags. See below for flag definitions.
-- Function: u_int32_t cfuhash_set_flag (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
u_int32_t FLAG)
Sets a flag.
-- Function: u_int32_t cfuhash_clear_flag (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
u_int32_t NEW_FLAG)
Clears a flag.
-- Function: int cfuhash_get_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const void *
KEY, size_t KEY_SIZE, void ** DATA, size_t * DATA_SIZE)
Returns the value for the entry with given key. If key_size is -1,
key is assumed to be a null-terminated string. If data_size is
not NULL, the size of the value is placed into data_size.
-- Function: int cfuhash_exists_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const void
* KEY, size_t KEY_SIZE)
Returns 1 if an entry with the given key exists in the hash, 0
otherwise.
-- Function: int cfuhash_put_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const void *
KEY, size_t KEY_SIZE, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, void **
R)
Inserts the given data value into the hash and associates it with
key. If key_size is -1, key is assumed to be a null-terminated
string. If data_size is -1, it is assumed to be a null-terminated
string (it's length will be calculated using strlen). If
data_size is zero, it will be returned as zero when the value is
requested.
-- Function: void cfuhash_clear (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Clears the hash table (deletes all entries).
-- Function: void * cfuhash_delete_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const
void * KEY, size_t KEY_SIZE)
Deletes the entry in the hash associated with key. If the entry
existed, it's value will be returned.
-- Function: void **cfuhash_keys_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, size_t *
NUM_KEYS, size_t ** KEY_SIZES, int FAST)
Returns all the keys from the hash. The number of keys is placed
into the value pointed to by num_keys. If key_sizes is not NULL,
it will be set to an array of key sizes. If fast is zero, copies
of the keys are returned. Otherwise, pointers to the real keys
will be returned.
-- Function: int cfuhash_each_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, void ** KEY,
size_t * KEY_SIZE, void ** DATA, size_t * DATA_SIZE)
Initializes a loop over all the key/value pairs in the hash. It
returns the first key/value pair (see cfuhash_next_data()). 1 is
returned if there are any entries in the hash. 0 is returned
otherwise.
-- Function: int cfuhash_next_data (cfuhash_table_t * HT, void ** KEY,
size_t * KEY_SIZE, void ** DATA, size_t * DATA_SIZE)
Gets the next key/value pair from the hash. You must initialize
the loop using cfuhash_each_data() before calling this function.
If a entry is left to return, 1 is returned from the function. 0
is returned if there are no more entries in the hash.
-- Function: size_t cfuhash_foreach_remove (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
cfuhash_remove_fn_t R_FN, cfuhash_free_fn_t FF, void * ARG)
Iterates over the key/value pairs in the hash, passing each one
to r_fn, and removes all entries for which r_fn returns true. If
ff is not NULL, it is the passed the data to be freed. arg is
passed to r_fn.
-- Function: size_t cfuhash_foreach (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
cfuhash_foreach_fn_t FE_FN, void * ARG)
Iterates over the key/value pairs in the hash, passing each one
to fe_fn, along with arg. This locks the hash, so do not call any
operations on the hash from within fe_fn unless you really know
what you're doing.
If the return value from fe_fn() is not zero, the iteration stops.
-- Function: int cfuhash_destroy (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Frees all resources allocated by the hash.
-- Function: int cfuhash_destroy_with_free_fn (cfuhash_table_t * HT,
cfuhash_free_fn_t FF)
Frees all resources allocated by the hash. If ff is not NULL, it
is called for each hash entry with the value of the entry passed as
its only argument. If ff is not NULL, it overrides any function
set previously with cfuhash_set_free_function().
-- Function: int cfuhash_rehash (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Rebuild the hash to better accomodate the number of entries. See
cfuhash_set_thresholds().
-- Function: size_t cfuhash_num_entries (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Returns the number entries in the hash.
-- Function: size_t cfuhash_num_buckets (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Returns the number of buckets allocated for the hash.
-- Function: size_t cfuhash_num_buckets_used (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Returns the number of buckets actually used out of the total number
allocated for the hash.
-- Function: char * cfuhash_bencode_strings (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Assumes all the keys and values are null-terminated strings and
returns a bencoded string representing the hash (see
http://www.bittorrent.com/protocol.html)
-- Function: int cfuhash_lock (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Locks the hash. Use this with the each and next functions for
concurrency control. Note that the hash is locked automatically
when doing inserts and deletes, so if you lock the hash and then
try to insert something into it, you may get into a deadlock,
depending on your system defaults for how mutexes work.
-- Function: int cfuhash_unlock (cfuhash_table_t * HT)
Unlocks the hash. Use this with the each an next functions for
concurrency control. The caveat for cfuhash_lock() also applies to
this function.
-- Function: int cfuhash_pretty_print (cfuhash_table_t * HT, FILE * FP)
Pretty print the hash's key/value pairs to the stream fp. It is
assumed that all the keys and values are null-terminated strings.
These are like the _data versions of these functions, with the
following exceptions:
1) They assume that the key provided is a null-terminated string.
2) They don't worry about the size of the data.
3) Returned keys or values are the return value of the function.
-- Function: void * cfuhash_get (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const char *
KEY)
-- Function: int cfuhash_exists (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const char *
KEY);
-- Function: void * cfuhash_put (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const char *
KEY, void * DATA);
-- Function: void * cfuhash_delete (cfuhash_table_t * HT, const char *
KEY);
-- Function: int cfuhash_each (cfuhash_table_t * HT, char ** KEY, void
** DATA);
-- Function: int cfuhash_next (cfuhash_table_t * HT, char ** KEY, void
** DATA);
-- Function: void ** cfuhash_keys (cfuhash_table_t * HT, size_t *
NUM_KEYS, int FAST);
Valid flags for cfuhash_new() or cfuhash_set_flag):
-- CFUHASH_NOCOPY_KEYS:
Don't copy the key when adding an entry to the hash table.
-- CFUHASH_NO_LOCKING:
Don't not use any mutexes. Beware that this flag makes the hash
table non thread-safe.
-- CFUHASH_FROZEN:
Do not rehash (don't grow or shrink the number of buckets in the
hash table when the thresholds are reached).
-- CFUHASH_FROZEN_UNTIL_GROWS:
Do not rehash until the upper threshold is reached the first time
(useful for preallocating a large hash to avoid rehashing while
filling it).
-- CFUHASH_FREE_DATA:
Call free() on the values when cfuhash_destroy() is called.
-- CFUHASH_IGNORE_CASE:
Treat the keys case-insensitively.

2 Conf
******
This needs to be better documented.
Apache-style conf files contain directives and containers.
Directives are simple one line specifications with or without
arguments, e.g.,
Doit Expires On LoadModule my_mod modules/my_mod.so
Containers have a type and a name associated with them and they in
turn contain directives and/or containers, e.g.,
<MyContainer test1> Expires Off <DB devdb>
DBHost db.example.com DBUser
test_user </DB> </MyContainer>
Values may be quoted, e.g.
DBUser "test user"
But must be specified on a single line. To escape quotes within a
quoted string, use the '\' character.
-- Function: int cfuconf_parse_file (char * FILE_PATH, cfuconf_t **
CONF, char ** ERROR)
Parse the apache-like conf file specified by file_path, returning
a pointer to a cfuconf_t structure in conf. Returns zero on
success, less than zero on error. If an error occurs and error
is not NULL, it will be set to an error message (which must be
free()'d by the caller).
-- Function: int cfuconf_parse_buffer (char * BUFFER, cfuconf_t **
CONF, char ** ERROR)
Same as cfuconf_parse_file(), except assume the contents of the
file are already in buffer.

4 Thread queue
**************
cfuthread_queue provides a way to serialize requests for a resource
where you want the resource to be accessed from a single thread only.
For instance, for a database connection where making calls in separate
threads does not work properly, you can use cfuthread_queue.
cfuthread_queue_new() creates a new thread that waits for something to
be added to the queue. Once something is added, the thread will
process the data by calling the function you pass as an argument to the
cfuthread_queue_new() function.
-- Function: cfuthread_queue_t * cfuthread_queue_new
(cfuthread_queue_fn_t FN)
Creates a new thread queue structure that will run the given
function when a request is received.
-- Function: cfuthread_queue_t * cfuthread_queue_new_with_cleanup
(cfuthread_queue_fn_t FN, cfuthread_queue_init_t INIT_FN,
void * INIT_ARG, cfuthread_queue_cleanup_t CLEANUP_FN, void *
CLEANUP_ARG)
Same as cfuthread_queue_new(), but with an initialization
function that gets called with the argument init_arg when the
thread is created, and a cleanup function that gets called with
the argument cleanup_arg when the thread exits, e.g., when
cfuthread_queue_destroy() is called.
-- Function: void * cfuthread_queue_make_request (cfuthread_queue_t *
TQ, void * DATA)
Add a request to the queue. data will get passed to the function
fn given to cfuthread_queue_new when it reaches the front of the
queue.
-- Function: void cfuthread_queue_destroy (cfuthread_queue_t * TQ)
Free up resources used by the queue, in addition to canceling the
thread.
