path-list API
=============
-Talk about <path-list.h>, things like
+The path_list API offers a data structure and functions to handle sorted
+and unsorted string lists.
-* it is not just paths but strings in general;
-* the calling sequence.
+The name is a bit misleading, a path_list may store not only paths but
+strings in general.
-(Dscho)
+The caller:
+
+. Allocates and clears a `struct path_list` variable.
+
+. Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag `strdup_paths`
+ if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary
+ when you add something like git_path("..."), since that function returns
+ a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path().
++
+If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the `items`
+member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the
+`nr` and `alloc` members in that case, too.
+
+. Adds new items to the list, using `path_list_append` or `path_list_insert`.
+
+. Can check if a string is in the list using `path_list_has_path` or
+ `unsorted_path_list_has_path` and get it from the list using
+ `path_list_lookup` for sorted lists.
+
+. Can sort an unsorted list using `sort_path_list`.
+
+. Finally it should free the list using `path_list_clear`.
+
+Example:
+
+----
+struct path_list list;
+int i;
+
+memset(&list, 0, sizeof(struct path_list));
+path_list_append("foo", &list);
+path_list_append("bar", &list);
+for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++)
+ printf("%s\n", list.items[i].path)
+----
+
+NOTE: It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it
+afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (`O(n log n)` instead of
+`O(n^2)`).
++
+However, if you use the list to check if a certain string was added
+already, you should not do that (using unsorted_path_list_has_path()),
+because the complexity would be quadratic again (but with a worse factor).
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+* General ones (works with sorted and unsorted lists as well)
+
+`print_path_list`::
+
+ Dump a path_list to stdout, useful mainly for debugging purposes. It
+ can take an optional header argument and it writes out the
+ string-pointer pairs of the path_list, each one in its own line.
+
+`path_list_clear`::
+
+ Free a path_list. The `path` pointer of the items will be freed in case
+ the `strdup_paths` member of the path_list is set. The second parameter
+ controls if the `util` pointer of the items should be freed or not.
+
+* Functions for sorted lists only
+
+`path_list_has_path`::
+
+ Determine if the path_list has a given string or not.
+
+`path_list_insert`::
+
+ Insert a new element to the path_list. The returned pointer can be handy
+ if you want to write something to the `util` pointer of the
+ path_list_item containing the just added string.
++
+Since this function uses xrealloc() (which die()s if it fails) if the
+list needs to grow, it is safe not to check the pointer. I.e. you may
+write `path_list_insert(...)->util = ...;`.
+
+`path_list_lookup`::
+
+ Look up a given string in the path_list, returning the containing
+ path_list_item. If the string is not found, NULL is returned.
+
+* Functions for unsorted lists only
+
+`path_list_append`::
+
+ Append a new string to the end of the path_list.
+
+`sort_path_list`::
+
+ Make an unsorted list sorted.
+
+`unsorted_path_list_has_path`::
+
+ It's like `path_list_has_path()` but for unsorted lists.
++
+This function needs to look through all items, as opposed to its
+counterpart for sorted lists, which performs a binary search.
+
+Data structures
+---------------
+
+* `struct path_list_item`
+
+Represents an item of the list. The `path` member is a pointer to the
+string, and you may use the `util` member for any purpose, if you want.
+
+* `struct path_list`
+
+Represents the list itself.
+
+. The array of items are available via the `items` member.
+. The `nr` member contains the number of items stored in the list.
+. The `alloc` member is used to avoid reallocating at every insertion.
+ You should not tamper with it.
+. Setting the `strdup_paths` member to 1 will strdup() the strings
+ before adding them, see above.

strbuf API
==========
-Talk about <strbuf.h>
+strbuf's are meant to be used with all the usual C string and memory
+APIs. Given that the length of the buffer is known, it's often better to
+use the mem* functions than a str* one (memchr vs. strchr e.g.).
+Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often
+stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs.
-(Pierre, JC)
+An strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the
+strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs.
+
+strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
+
+. The `buf` member is never NULL, so you it can be used in any usual C
+string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by
+`strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though.
++
+Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is
+allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory
+buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
+way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`.
++
+However, it it totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
+the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive).
+
+. The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes
+ allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the
+ `buf` member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
+ invariant is preserved.
++
+NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this
+ way:
++
+----
+strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1>
+strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
+----
+<1> Here, the memory array starting at `sb->buf`, and of length
+`strbuf_avail(sb)` is all yours, and you can be sure that
+`strbuf_avail(sb)` is at least `SOME_SIZE`.
++
+NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`.
++
+Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
+missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
++
+WARNING: Do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size `alloc
+- 1` even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
+"private" member that should not be messed with. Use `strbuf_avail()`
+instead.
+
+Data structures
+---------------

+* `struct strbuf`
+
+This is string buffer structure. The `len` member can be used to
+determine the current length of the string, and `buf` member provides access to
+the string itself.
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+* Life cycle
+
+`strbuf_init`::
+
+ Initialize the structure. The second parameter can be zero or a bigger
+ number to allocate memory, in case you want to prevent further reallocs.
+
+`strbuf_release`::
+
+ Release a string buffer and the memory it used. You should not use the
+ string buffer after using this function, unless you initialize it again.
+
+`strbuf_detach`::
+
+ Detach the string from the strbuf and returns it; you now own the
+ storage the string occupies and it is your responsibility from then on
+ to release it with `free(3)` when you are done with it.
+
+`strbuf_attach`::
+
+ Attach a string to a buffer. You should specify the string to attach,
+ the current length of the string and the amount of allocated memory.
+ The amount must be larger than the string length, because the string you
+ pass is supposed to be a NUL-terminated string. This string _must_ be
+ malloc()ed, and after attaching, the pointer cannot be relied upon
+ anymore, and neither be free()d directly.
+
+`strbuf_swap`::
+
+ Swap the contents of two string buffers.
+
+* Related to the size of the buffer
+
+`strbuf_avail`::
+
+ Determine the amount of allocated but unused memory.
+
+`strbuf_grow`::
+
+ Ensure that at least this amount of unused memory is available after
+ `len`. This is used when you know a typical size for what you will add
+ and want to avoid repetitive automatic resizing of the underlying buffer.
+ This is never a needed operation, but can be critical for performance in
+ some cases.
+
+`strbuf_setlen`::
+
+ Set the length of the buffer to a given value. This function does *not*
+ allocate new memory, so you should not perform a `strbuf_setlen()` to a
+ length that is larger than `len + strbuf_avail()`. `strbuf_setlen()` is
+ just meant as a 'please fix invariants from this strbuf I just messed
+ with'.
+
+`strbuf_reset`::
+
+ Empty the buffer by setting the size of it to zero.
+
+* Related to the contents of the buffer
+
+`strbuf_rtrim`::
+
+ Strip whitespace from the end of a string.
+
+`strbuf_cmp`::
+
+ Compare two buffers. Returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater
+ than zero if the first buffer is found, respectively, to be less than,
+ to match, or be greater than the second buffer.
+
+* Adding data to the buffer
+
+NOTE: All of these functions in this section will grow the buffer as
+ necessary.
+
+`strbuf_addch`::
+
+ Add a single character to the buffer.
+
+`strbuf_insert`::
+
+ Insert data to the given position of the buffer. The remaining contents
+ will be shifted, not overwritten.
+
+`strbuf_remove`::
+
+ Remove given amount of data from a given position of the buffer.
+
+`strbuf_splice`::
+
+ Remove the bytes between `pos..pos+len` and replace it with the given
+ data.
+
+`strbuf_add`::
+
+ Add data of given length to the buffer.
+
+`strbuf_addstr`::
+
+Add a NUL-terminated string to the buffer.
++
+NOTE: This function will *always* be implemented as an inline or a macro
+that expands to:
++
+----
+strbuf_add(..., s, strlen(s));
+----
++
+Meaning that this is efficient to write things like:
++
+----
+strbuf_addstr(sb, "immediate string");
+----
+
+`strbuf_addbuf`::
+
+ Copy the contents of an other buffer at the end of the current one.
+
+`strbuf_adddup`::
+
+ Copy part of the buffer from a given position till a given length to the
+ end of the buffer.
+
+`strbuf_expand`::
+
+ This function can be used to expand a format string containing
+ placeholders. To that end, it parses the string and calls the specified
+ function for every percent sign found.
++
+The callback function is given a pointer to the character after the `%`
+and a pointer to the struct strbuf. It is expected to add the expanded
+version of the placeholder to the strbuf, e.g. to add a newline
+character if the letter `n` appears after a `%`. The function returns
+the length of the placeholder recognized and `strbuf_expand()` skips
+over it.
++
+All other characters (non-percent and not skipped ones) are copied
+verbatim to the strbuf. If the callback returned zero, meaning that the
+placeholder is unknown, then the percent sign is copied, too.
++
+In order to facilitate caching and to make it possible to give
+parameters to the callback, `strbuf_expand()` passes a context pointer,
+which can be used by the programmer of the callback as she sees fit.
+
+`strbuf_addf`::
+
+ Add a formatted string to the buffer.
+
+`strbuf_fread`::
+
+ Read a given size of data from a FILE* pointer to the buffer.
++
+NOTE: The buffer is rewinded if the read fails. If -1 is returned,
+`errno` must be consulted, like you would do for `read(3)`.
+`strbuf_read()`, `strbuf_read_file()` and `strbuf_getline()` has the
+same behaviour as well.
+
+`strbuf_read`::
+
+ Read the contents of a given file descriptor. The third argument can be
+ used to give a hint about the file size, to avoid reallocs.
+
+`strbuf_read_file`::
+
+ Read the contents of a file, specified by its path. The third argument
+ can be used to give a hint about the file size, to avoid reallocs.
+
+`strbuf_getline`::
+
+ Read a line from a FILE* pointer. The second argument specifies the line
+ terminator character, typically `'\n'`.
+
+`stripspace`::
+
+ Strip whitespace from a buffer. The second parameter controls if
+ comments are considered contents to be removed or not.
+
+`launch_editor`::
