Detailed Description

The module implements a parameter list data type, a container for the cpl_parameter type. It provides a convenient way to pass a set of parameters, as a whole, to a function.

It is used in the plugin interface (cf. Plugin Interface), for instance, to pass the parameters a recipe accepts from the plugin to the calling application and vice versa.

All functions expect a valid pointer to a parameter list as input, unless otherwise specified.

Synopsis:

#include <cpl_parameterlist.h>

	)

Append a parameter to a parameter list.

Parameters

self	A parameter list.
parameter	The parameter to append.

Errors

CPL_ERROR_NULL_INPUT

The parameter self is a NULL pointer.

References CPL_ERROR_NONE, and CPL_ERROR_NULL_INPUT.

cpl_parameterlist_delete()

void cpl_parameterlist_delete

(

cpl_parameterlist *

self

)

Destroy a parameter list.

Parameters

self	The parameter list to destroy.

Returns

Nothing.

The function destroys the parameter list object self and all parameters it possibly contains. The individual parameters are destroyed using the parameter destructor (cf. Parameters). If self is NULL, nothing is done and no error is set.

References cpl_parameter_delete().

cpl_parameterlist_dump()

void cpl_parameterlist_dump	(	const cpl_parameterlist *	self,
		FILE *	stream
	)

Dump the contents of a parameter list to the given stream.

Parameters

self	The parameter list.
stream	The output stream to use.

Returns

Nothing.

The function dumps the debugging information for each parameter found in the parameter list self to the output stream stream. The debugging information for each individual parameter is dumped using cpl_parameter_dump(). If self is NULL the function does nothing.

The function returns the next parameter in the parameter list self if it exists and NULL otherwise. The function uses the last cached search position to determine the most recently accessed parameter. This means that the function only works as expected if the self has been initialised by a call to cpl_parameterlist_get_first(), and if no function updating the internal cache was called between two subsequent calls to this function.
