Function Documentation
EAPI Eina_Module * eina_module_new | ( | const char * | file | ) |
Return a new module.
- Parameters:
-
file The name of the file module to load.
This function returns a new module. If file
is NULL
, the function returns NULL
, otherwise, it allocates an Eina_Module, stores a duplicate string of file
, sets its reference to 0
and its handle to NULL
.
When the new module is not needed anymore, use eina_module_free() to free the allocated memory.
- See also:
- eina_module_load
EAPI Eina_Bool eina_module_free | ( | Eina_Module * | m | ) |
Delete a module.
- Parameters:
-
m The module to delete.
- Returns:
- EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise.
This function calls eina_module_unload() if m
has been previously loaded and frees the allocated memory. On success this function returns EINA_TRUE and EINA_FALSE otherwise. If m
is NULL
, the function returns immediatly.
EAPI Eina_Bool eina_module_load | ( | Eina_Module * | m | ) |
Load a module.
- Parameters:
-
m The module to load.
- Returns:
- EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise.
This function load the shared file object passed in eina_module_new(). If it is a internal Eina module (like the mempools), it also initialize it. It the shared file object can not be loaded, the error EINA_ERROR_WRONG_MODULE is set and EINA_FALSE is returned. If it is a internal Eina module and the module can not be initialized, the error EINA_ERROR_MODULE_INIT_FAILED is set and EINA_FALSE is returned. If the module has already been loaded, it's refeence counter is increased by one and EINA_TRUE is returned. If m
is NULL
, the function returns immediatly EINA_FALSE.
When the symbols of the shared file objetcts are not needed anymore, call eina_module_unload() to unload the module.
EAPI Eina_Bool eina_module_unload | ( | Eina_Module * | m | ) |
Unload a module.
- Parameters:
-
m The module to load.
- Returns:
- EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise.
This function unload the module m
that has been previously loaded by eina_module_load(). If the reference counter of m
is strictly greater than 1
, EINA_FALSE is returned. Otherwise, the shared object file is closed and if it is a internal Eina module, it is shutted down just before. In that case, EINA_TRUE is returned. In all case, the reference counter is decreased. If m
is NULL
, the function returns immediatly EINA_FALSE.
EAPI void * eina_module_symbol_get | ( | const Eina_Module * | m, | |
const char * | symbol | |||
) |
Retrive the data associated to a symbol.
- Parameters:
-
m The module. symbol The symbol.
- Returns:
- The data associated to the symbol, or
NULL
on failure.
This function returns the data associated to symbol
of m
. m
must have been loaded before with eina_module_load(). If m
is NULL
, or if it has not been correctly loaded before, the function returns immediatly NULL
.
EAPI const char * eina_module_file_get | ( | const Eina_Module * | m | ) |
Return the file name associated to the module.
- Parameters:
-
m The module.
- Returns:
- The file name.
Return the file name passed in eina_module_new(). If m
is NULL
, the function returns immediatly NULL
. The returned value must no be freed.
EAPI Eina_Array * eina_module_list_get | ( | Eina_Array * | array, | |
const char * | path, | |||
unsigned int | recursive, | |||
Eina_Module_Cb | cb, | |||
void * | data | |||
) |
Get a list of modules found on the directory path.
- Parameters:
-
array The array that stores the list of the modules. path The directory's path to search for modules recursive Iterate recursively on the path cb Callback function to call, if the return value of the callback is zero it won't be added to the list, if it is one, it will. data Data passed to the callback function
EAPI void eina_module_list_load | ( | Eina_Array * | array | ) |
Load every module on the list of modules.
- Parameters:
-
array The array of modules to load
EAPI void eina_module_list_unload | ( | Eina_Array * | array | ) |
Unload every module on the list of modules.
- Parameters:
-
array The array of modules to unload
EAPI Eina_Module * eina_module_find | ( | const Eina_Array * | array, | |
const char * | module | |||
) |
Find an module in array.
- Parameters:
-
array The array to find the module. module The name of module to be searched;
This function finds an module
in an array
; If the element is found return the module else NULL.
