22 @section intro What is Eet?
24 It is a tiny library designed to write an arbitrary set of chunks of data
25 to a file and optionally compress each chunk (very much like a zip file)
26 and allow fast random-access reading of the file later on. It does not
27 do zip as a zip itself has more complexity than is needed, and it was much
28 simpler to implement this once here.
30 Eet is extremely fast, small and simple. Eet files can be very small and
31 highly compressed, making them very optimal for just sending across the
32 internet without having to archive, compress or decompress and install them.
33 They allow for lightning-fast random-acess reads once created, making them
34 perfect for storing data that is written once (or rarely) and read many
35 times, but the program does not want to have to read it all in at once.
37 It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as image
38 data for saving to Eet files or sending across the network to other
39 machines, or just writing to arbitrary files on the system. All data is
40 encoded in a platform independent way and can be written and read by any
43 @section example A simple example on using Eet
45 Here is a simple example on how to use Eet to save a series of strings to a
46 file and load them again. The advantage of using Eet over just
48 fscanf() is that not only can these entries be strings, they need no special
49 parsing to handle delimiter characters or escaping, they can be binary data,
50 image data, data structures containing integers, strings, other data
51 structures, linked lists and much more, without the programmer having to
52 worry about parsing, and best of all, Eet is very fast.
54 This is just a very simple example that doesn't show all of the capabilities
55 of Eet, but it serves to illustrate its simplicity.
59 @section compiling How to compile using Eet ?
61 Eet is a library your application links to. The procedure for this is very
62 simple. You simply have to compile your application with the appropriate
63 compiler flags that the @p pkg-config script outputs. For example:
65 Compiling C or C++ files into object files:
68 gcc -c -o main.o main.c `pkg-config --cflags eet`
71 Linking object files into a binary executable:
74 gcc -o my_application main.o `pkg-config --libs eet`
77 You simply have to make sure that pkg-config is in your shell's PATH (see
78 the manual page for your appropriate shell) and eet.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig
79 or its path is in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. It's that simple
80 to link and use Eet once you have written your code to use it.
82 Since the program is linked to Eet, it is now able to use any advertised
83 API calls to serialize your data.
85 You should make sure you add any extra compile and link flags to your
86 compile commands that your application may need as well. The above example
87 is only guaranteed to make Eet add it's own requirements.
90 @section install How is it installed?
102 @section next_steps Next Steps
104 After you understood what Eet is and installed it in your system you
105 should proceed understanding the programming interface. We'd recommend
106 you to take a while to learn Eina
107 (http://docs.enlightenment.org/auto/eina/) as it is very convenient
108 and optimized, and Eet provides integration with it.
112 @li @ref Eet_File_Group to know the basics to open and save files.
113 @li @ref Eet_Data_Group to know the convenient way to serialize and
114 parse your data structures automatically. Just create your
115 descriptors and let Eet do the work for you.

264 * Initialize the EET library.
266 * The first time this function is called, it will perform all the internal

268 * the initializiation counter. Any subsequent call only increment this counter
269 * and return its new value, so it's safe to call this function more than once.

317 * Functions to create, destroy and do basic manipulation of
320 * This sections explains how to use the most basic Eet functions, which
321 * are used to work with eet files, read data from them, store it back in or
322 * take a look at what entries it contains, without making use of the
323 * serialization capabilities explained in @ref Eet_Data_Group.
325 * The following example will serve as an introduction to most, if not all,
326 * of these functions.
328 * If you are only using Eet, this is the only header you need to include.
329 * @dontinclude eet-file.c
332 * Now let's create ourselves an eet file to play with. The following function
333 * shows step by step how to open a file and write some data in it.
334 * First, we define our file handler and some other things we'll put in it.
340 * We open a new file in write mode, and if it fails, we just return, since
341 * there's not much more we can do about it..
344 * Now, we need to write some data in our file. For now, strings will suffice,
345 * so let's just dump a bunch of them in there.
348 * As you can see, we copied a string into our static buffer, which is a bit
349 * bigger than the full length of the string, and then told Eet to write it
350 * into the file, compressed, returning the size of the data written into the
352 * This is all to show that Eet treats data as just data. It doesn't matter
353 * what that data represents (for now), it's all just bytes for it. As running
354 * the following code will show, we took a string of around 30 bytes and put it
355 * in a buffer of 1024 bytes, but the returned size won't be any of those.
358 * Next, we copy into our buffer our set of strings, including their null
359 * terminators and write them into the file. No error checking for the sake
360 * of brevitiy. And a call to eet_sync() to make sure all out data is
361 * properly written down to disk, even though we haven't yet closed the file.
364 * One more write, this time our large array of binary data and... well, I
365 * couldn't come up with a valid use of the last set of strings we stored,
366 * so let's take it out from the file with eet_delete().
369 * Finally, we close the file, saving any changes back to disk and return.
370 * Notice how, if there's any error closing the file or saving its contents,
371 * the return value from the function will be a false one, which later on
372 * will make the program exit with an error code.
375 * Moving onto our main function, we will open the same file and read it back.
376 * Trivial, but it'll show how we can do so in more than one way. We'll skip
377 * the variable declarations, as they aren't very different from what we've
380 * We start from the beginning by initializing Eet so things in general work.
381 * Forgetting to do so will result in weird results or crashes when calling
382 * any eet function, so if you experience something like that, the first thing
383 * to look at is whether eet_init() is missing.
384 * Then we call our @p create_eet_file function, described above, to make
385 * sure we have something to work with. If the function fails it will return
386 * 0 and we just exit, since nothing from here onwards will work anyway.
390 * Let's take a look now at what entries our file has. For this, we use
391 * eet_list(), which will return a list of strings, each being the name of
392 * one entry. Since we skipped before, it may be worth noting that @p list
393 * is declared as a @p char **.
394 * The @p num parameter will, of course, have the number of entries contained
396 * If everything's fine, we'll get our list and print it to the screen, and
397 * once done with it, we free the list. That's just the list, not its contents,
398 * as they are internal strings used by Eet and trying to free them will surely
402 * Reading back plain data is simple. Just a call to eet_read() with the file
403 * to read from, and the name of the entry we are interested in. We get back
404 * our data and the passed @p size parameter will contain the size of it. If
405 * the data was stored compressed, it will decompressed first.
408 * Another simple read for the set of strings from before, except those were
409 * deleted, so we should get a NULL return and continue normally.
412 * Finally, we'll get our binary data in the same way we got the strings. Once
413 * again, it makes no difference for Eet what the data is, it's up to us to
414 * know how to handle it.
417 * Now some cheating, we know that this data is an Eet file because, well...
418 * we just know it. So we are going to open it and take a look at its insides.
419 * For this, eet_open() won't work, as it needs to have a file on disk to read
420 * from and all we have is some data in RAM.
422 * So how do we do? One way would be to create a normal file and write down
423 * our data, then open it with eet_open(). Another, faster and more efficient
424 * if all we want to do is read the file, is to use eet_memopen_read().
427 * As you can see, the size we got from our previous read was put to good use
428 * this time. Unlike the first one where all we had were strings, the size
429 * of the data read only serves to demonstrate that we are reading back the
430 * entire size of our original @p buf variable.
432 * A little peeking to see how many entries the file has and to make an
433 * example of eet_num_entries() to get that number when we don't care about
437 * More cheating follows. Just like we knew this was an Eet file, we also know
438 * what key to read from, and ontop of that we know that the data in it is not
440 * Knowing all this allows us to take some shortcuts.
443 * That's a direct print of our data, whatever that data is. We don't want
444 * to worry about having to free it later, so we just used eet_direct_read()
445 * to tell Eet to gives a pointer to the internal data in the file, without
446 * duplicating it. Since we said that data was not compressed, we shouldn't
447 * worry about printing garbage to the screen (and yes, we also know the data
448 * is yet another string).
449 * We also don't care about the size of the data as it was stored in the file,
450 * so we passed NULL as the size parameter.
451 * One very important note about this, however, is that we don't care about
452 * the size parameter because the data in the file contains the null
453 * terminator for the string. So when using Eet to store strings this way,
454 * it's very important to consider whether you will keep that final null
455 * byte, or to always get the size read and do the necessary checks and copies.
456 * It's up to the user and the particular use cases to decide how this will
459 * With everything done, close this second file and free the data used to open
460 * it. And this is important, we can't free that data until we are done with
461 * the file, as Eet is using it. When opening with eet_memopen_read(), the data
462 * passed to it must be available for as long as the the file is open.
465 * Finally, we close the first file, shutdown all internal resources used by
466 * Eet and leave our main function, thus terminating our program.
469 * You can look at the full code of the example @ref eet-file.c "here".
474 * @enum _Eet_File_Mode

522 * NULL will be returned.
524 * It will also open an eet file for writing. This will, if successful,
525 * delete the original file and replace it with a new empty file, till
526 * the eet file handle is closed or flushed. If it cannot be opened for
527 * writing or a memory error occurs, NULL is returned.
529 * You can also open the file for read/write. If you then write a key that
530 * does not exist it will be created, if the key exists it will be replaced
533 * If the same file is opened multiple times, then the same file handle will
534 * be returned as eet maintains an internal list of all currently open
535 * files. Note that it considers files opened for read only and those opened
536 * for read/write and write only as 2 separate sets. Those that do not write
537 * to the file and those that do. Eet will allow 2 handles to the same file
538 * if they are in the 2 separate lists/groups. That means opening a file for
539 * read only looks in the read only set, and returns a handle to that file
540 * handle and increments its reference count. If you open a file for read/write
541 * or write only it looks in the write set and returns a handle after
542 * incrementing the reference count. You need to close an eet file handle
543 * as many times as it has been opened to maintain correct reference counts.

935 * Eet can handle both lossy compression with different levels of quality and
936 * non-lossy compression with different compression levels. It's also possible,

938 * without decoding the entire content for it.

943 * and return the uncompressed image.

946 * from an Eet file, under the specified key.

1882 * Convenience functions to serialize and parse complex data
1883 * structures to binary blobs.
1885 * While Eet core just handles binary blobs, it is often required
1886 * to save some structured data of different types, such as
1887 * strings, integers, lists, hashes and so on.
1889 * Eet can serialize and then parse data types given some
1890 * construction instructions. These are defined in two levels:
1892 * - #Eet_Data_Descriptor_Class to tell generic memory handling,
1893 * such as the size of the type, how to allocate memory, strings,
1894 * lists, hashes and so on.
1896 * - #Eet_Data_Descriptor to tell inside such type, the members and
1897 * their offsets inside the memory blob, their types and
1898 * names. These members can be simple types or other
1899 * #Eet_Data_Descriptor, allowing hierarchical types to be
1902 * Given that C provides no introspection, this process can be
1903 * quite cumbersome, so we provide lots of macros and convenience
1904 * functions to aid creating the types.
1906 * We make now a quick overview of some of the most commonly used elements
1907 * of this part of the library. A simple example of a configuration system
1908 * will work as a somewhat real life example that is still simple enough to
1910 * Only the relevant sections will be shown here, but you can get the full
1911 * code @ref eet-data-simple.c "here".
1913 * Ignoring the included headers, we'll begin by defining our configuration
1915 * @dontinclude eet-data-simple.c
1919 * When using Eet, you don't think in matters of what data the program needs
1920 * to run and which you would like to store. It's all the same and if it makes
1921 * more sense to keep them together, it's perfectly fine to do so. At the time
1922 * of telling Eet how your data is comprised you can leave out the things
1923 * that are runtime only and let Eet take care of the rest for you.
1925 * The key used to store the config follows, as well as the variable used to
1926 * store our data descriptor.
1927 * This last one is very important. It's the one thing that Eet will use to
1928 * identify your data, both at the time of writing it to the file and when
1931 * @skipline Eet_Data_Descriptor
1933 * Now we'll see how to create this descriptor, so Eet knows how to handle
1934 * our data later on.
1935 * Begin our function by declaring an Eet_Data_Descriptor_Class, which is
1936 * used to create the actual descriptor. This class contains the name of
1937 * our data type, its size and several functions that dictate how Eet should
1938 * handle memory to allocate the necessary bits to bring our data to life.
1939 * You, as a user, will very hardly set this class' contents directly. The
1940 * most common scenario is to use one of the provided macros that set it using
1941 * the Eina data types, so that's what we'll be doing across all our examples.
1943 * @until eet_data_descriptor_stream_new
1945 * Now that we have our descriptor, we need to make it describe something.
1946 * We do so by telling it which members of our struct we want it to know about
1948 * The eet_data_descriptor_element_add() function takes care of this, but it's
1949 * too cumbersome for normal use, so several macros are provided that make
1950 * it easier to handle. Even with them, however, code can get very repetitive
1951 * and it's not uncommon to define custom macros using them to save on typing.
1955 * Now our descriptor knows about the parts of our structure that we are
1956 * interesting in saving. You can see that not all of them are there, yet Eet
1957 * will find those that need saving and do the right thing. When loading our
1958 * data, any non-described fields in the structure will be zeroed, so there's
1959 * no need to worry about garbage memory in them.
1960 * Refer to the documentation of #EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_BASIC to understand
1961 * what our macro does.
1963 * We are done with our descriptor init function and it's proper to have the
1964 * relevant shutdown. Proper coding guidelines indiciate that all memory
1965 * allocated should be freed when the program ends, and since you will most
1966 * likely keep your descriptor around for the life or your application, it's
1967 * only right to free it at the end.
1971 * Not listed here, but included in the full example are functions to create
1972 * a blank configuration and free it. The first one will only be used when
1973 * no file exists to load from, or nothing is found in it, but the latter is
1974 * used regardless of where our data comes from. Unless you are reading direct
1975 * data from the Eet file, you will be in charge of freeing anything loaded
1978 * Now it's time to look at how we can load our config from some file.
1979 * Begin by opening the Eet file normally.
1980 * @skip static My_Conf_Type
1983 * And now we need to read the data from the file and decode it using our
1984 * descriptor. Fortunately, that's all done in one single step.
1987 * And that's it for all Eet cares about. But since we are dealing with a
1988 * common case, as is save and load of user configurations, the next fragment
1989 * of code shows why we have a version field in our struct, and how you can
1990 * use it to load older configuration files and update them as needed.
1993 * Finally, clsoe the file and return the newly loaded config data.
1996 * Saving data is just as easy. The full version of the following function
1997 * includes code to save to a temporary file first, so you can be sure not
1998 * to lose all your data in the case of a failure mid-writing. You can look
1999 * at it @ref eet-data-simple.c "here".
2000 * @skip static Eina_Bool
2002 * @skipline Eina_Bool ret
2008 * To close, our main function, which doesn't do much. Just take some arguments
2009 * from the command line with the name of the file to load and another one
2010 * where to save again. If input file doesn't exist, a new config structure
2011 * will be created and saved to our output file.

2028 * have structures inside other structures.
2030 * Now, there's a very simple case of this, for when you have inline structs
2031 * to keep your big structure more organized, you don't need anything else
2032 * besides what @ref eet-data-simple.c "this simple example does".
2033 * Just use something like @p some_struct.sub_struct.member when adding the
2034 * member to the descriptor and it will work.
2048 * void some_function()
2051 * my_desc = eet_data_descriptor_stream_new(&eddc);
2052 * EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_BASIC(my_desc, some_struct, "a_number",
2053 * a_number, EET_T_INT);
2054 * EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_BASIC(my_desc, some_struct, "a_string",
2055 * a_string, EET_T_STRING);
2056 * EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_BASIC(my_desc, some_struct, "sub.other_num",
2057 * sub.other_num, EET_T_INT);
2058 * EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_BASIC(my_desc, some_struct, "sub.one_more",
2059 * sub.one_more", EET_T_INT);
2064 * But this is not what we are here for today. When we talk about nested
2065 * structures, what we really want are things like lists and hashes to be
2066 * taken into consideration automatically, and all their contents saved and
2067 * loaded just like ordinary integers and strings are.
2069 * And of course, Eet can do that, and considering the work it saves you as a
2070 * programmer, we could say it's even easier to do than handling just integers.
2072 * Let's begin with our example then, which is not all too different from the
2073 * simple one introduced earlier.
2075 * We won't ignore the headers this time to show how easy it is to use Eina
2076 * data types with Eet, but we'll still skip most of the code that is not
2077 * pertinent to what we want to show now, but as usual, you can get it full
2078 * by follwing @ref eet-data-nested.c "this link".
2080 * @dontinclude eet-data-nested.c
2083 * @skip typedef struct
2084 * @until } My_Conf_Subtype
2086 * Extremely similar to our previous example. Just a new struct in there, and
2087 * a pointer to a list in the one we already had. Handling a list of subtypes
2088 * is easy on our program, but now we'll see what Eet needs to work with them
2089 * (Hint: it's easy too).
2090 * @skip _my_conf_descriptor
2091 * @until _my_conf_sub_descriptor
2093 * Since we have two structures now, it's only natural that we'll need two
2094 * descriptors. One for each, which will be defined exactly as before.
2097 * @skip EET_EINA_STREAM_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_CLASS_SET
2098 * @until _my_conf_sub_descriptor
2100 * We create our descriptors, each for one type, and as before, we are going to
2101 * use a simple macro to set their contents, to save on typing.
2103 * @until EET_T_UCHAR
2105 * So far, nothing new. We have our descriptors and we know already how to
2106 * save them separately. But what we want is to link them together, and even
2107 * more so, we want our main type to hold a list of more than one of the new
2108 * sub type. So how do we do that?
2110 * Simple enough, we tell Eet that our main descriptor will hold a list, of
2111 * which each node will point to some type described by our new descriptor.
2112 * @skip EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_LIST
2113 * @until _my_conf_sub_descriptor
2115 * And that's all. We are closing the function now so as to not leave dangling
2116 * curly braces, but there's nothing more to show in this example. Only other
2117 * additions are the necessary code to free our new data, but you can see it
2118 * in the full code listing.
2123 * @page eet_data_file_descriptor Advanced use of Eet Data Descriptors
2125 * A real life example is usually the best way to see how things are used,
2126 * but they also involve a lot more code than what needs to be shown, so
2127 * instead of going that way, we'll be borrowing some pieces from one in
2128 * the following example. It's been slightly modified from the original
2129 * source to show more of the varied ways in which Eet can handle our data.
2131 * @ref eet-data-file_descriptor_01.c "This example" shows a cache of user
2132 * accounts and messages received, and it's a bit more interactive than
2133 * previous examples.
2135 * Let's begin by looking at the structures we'll be using. First we have
2136 * one to define the messages the user receives and one for the one he posts.
2137 * Straight forward and nothing new here.
2138 * @dontinclude eet-data-file_descriptor_01.c
2142 * One more to declare the account itself. This one will contain a list of
2143 * all messages received, and the posts we make ourselves will be kept in an
2144 * array. No special reason other than to show how to use arrays with Eet.
2147 * Finally, the main structure to hold our cache of accounts. We'll be looking
2148 * for these accounts by their names, so let's keep them in a hash, using
2149 * that name as the key.
2152 * As explained before, we need one descriptor for each struct we want Eet
2153 * to handle, but this time we also want to keep around our Eet file and its
2154 * string dictionary. You will see why in a moment.
2155 * @skip Eet_Data_Descriptor
2156 * @until _my_post_descriptor
2158 * @until Eet_Dictionary
2160 * The differences begin now. They aren't much, but we'll be creating our
2161 * descriptors differently. Things can be added to our cache, but we won't
2162 * be modifying the current contents, so we can consider the data read from
2163 * it to be read-only, and thus allow Eet to save time and memory by not
2164 * duplicating thins unnecessary.
2166 * @until _my_post_descriptor
2168 * As the comment in the code explains, we are asking Eet to give us strings
2169 * directly from the mapped file, which avoids having to load it in memory
2170 * and data duplication.
2171 * Of course, there are things to take into account when doing things this
2172 * way, and they will be mentioned as we encounter those special cases.
2174 * Next comes the actual description of our data, just like we did in the
2175 * previous examples.
2181 * And the account struct's description doesn't add much new, but it's worth
2184 * @until _my_post_descriptor
2186 * How to add a list we've seen before, but now we are also adding an array.
2187 * There's nothing really special about it, but it's important to note that
2188 * the EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_VAR_ARRAY is used to add arrays of variable
2189 * length to a descriptor. That is, arrays just like the one we defined.
2190 * Since there's no way in C to know how long they are, we need to keep
2191 * track of the count ourselves and Eet needs to know how to do so as well.
2192 * That's what the @p posts_count member of our struct is for. When adding
2193 * our array member, this macro will look for another variable in the struct
2194 * named just like the array, but with @p _count attached to the end.
2195 * When saving our data, Eet will know how many elements the array contains
2196 * by looking into this count variable. When loading back from a file, this
2197 * variable will be set to the right number of elements.
2199 * Another option for arrays is to use EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_ARRAY, which
2200 * takes care of fixed sized arrays.
2201 * For example, let's suppose that we want to keep track of only the last
2202 * ten posts the user sent, and we declare our account struct as follows
2208 * Eina_List *messages;
2209 * My_Post posts[10];
2212 * Then we would add the array to our descriptor with
2214 * EET_DATA_DESCRIPTOR_ADD_ARRAY(_my_account_descriptor, My_Account, "posts",
2215 * posts, _my_post_descriptor);
2218 * Notice how this time we don't have a @p posts_count variable in our struct.
2219 * We could have it for the program to keep track of how many posts the
2220 * array actually contains, but Eet no longer needs it. Being defined that
2221 * way the array is already taking up all the memory needed for the ten
2222 * elements, and it is possible in C to determine how much it is in code.
2223 * When saving our data, Eet will just dump the entire memory blob into the
2224 * file, regardless of how much of it is really used. So it's important to
2225 * take into consideration this kind of things when defining your data types.
2226 * Each has its uses, its advantages and disadvantages and it's up to you
2227 * to decide which to use.
2229 * Now, going back to our example, we have to finish adding our data to the
2230 * descriptors. We are only missing the main one for the cache, which
2231 * contains our hash of accounts.
2232 * Unless you are using your own hash functions when setting the descriptor
2233 * class, always use hashes with string type keys.
2237 * If you remember, we told Eet not to duplicate memory when possible at the
2238 * time of loading back our data. But this doesn't mean everything will be
2239 * loaded straight from disk and we don't have to worry about freeing it.
2240 * Data in the Eet file is compressed and encoded, so it still needs to be
2241 * decoded and memory will be allocated to convert it back into something we
2242 * can use. We also need to take care of anything we add in the current
2243 * instance of the program.
2244 * To summarize, any string we get from Eet is likely to be a pointer to the
2245 * internal dictionary, and trying to free it will, in the best case, crash
2246 * our application right away.
2248 * So how do we know if we have to free a string? We check if it's part of
2249 * the dictionary, and if it's not there we can be sure it's safe to get
2256 * See how this is used when adding a new message to our cache.
2257 * @skip static My_Message
2262 * Skipping all the utility functions used by our program (remember you can
2263 * look at the full example @ref eet-data-file_descriptor_01.c "here") we get to
2264 * our cache loading code. Nothing out of the ordinary at first, just the
2265 * same old open file, read data using our main descriptor to decode it
2266 * into something we can use and check version of loaded data and if it doesn't
2267 * match, do something accordingly.
2268 * @skip static My_Cache
2273 * Then comes the interesting part. Remember how we kept two more global
2274 * variables with our descriptors? One of them we already used to check if
2275 * it was right to free a string or not, but we didn't know where it came from.
2276 * Loading our data straight from the mmapped file means that we can't close
2277 * it until we are done using it, so we need to keep its handler around until
2278 * then. It also means that any changes done to the file can, and will,
2279 * invalidate all our pointers to the file backed data, so if we add something
2280 * and save the file, we need to reload our cache.
2282 * Thus our load function checks if we had an open file, if there is it gets
2283 * closed and our variable is updated to the new handler. Then we get the
2284 * string dictionary we use to check if a string is part of it or not.
2285 * Updating any references to the cache data is up you as a programmer to
2286 * handle properly, there's nothing Eet can do in this situation.
2289 * The save function doesn't have anything new, and all that's left after it
2290 * is the main program, which doesn't really have anything of interest within
2291 * the scope of what we are learning.
