tag ~ AttrSet => Constructible String tag Source # 
Instance details

Defined in GI.GLib.Structs.String

Methods

new :: MonadIO m => (ManagedPtr String -> String) -> [AttrOp String tag] -> m String #

newZeroString :: MonadIO m => m String Source #

Construct a String struct initialized to zero.

noString :: Maybe String Source #

A convenience alias for Nothing :: Maybe String.

Methods

append

stringAppend Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Text

val: the string to append onto the end of string

-> m String

Returns: string

Adds a string onto the end of a String, expanding it if necessary.

appendC

stringAppendC Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int8

c: the byte to append onto the end of string

-> m String

Returns: string

Adds a byte onto the end of a String, expanding it if necessary.

appendLen

stringAppendLen Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Text

val: bytes to append

-> Int64

len: number of bytes of val to use, or -1 for all of val

-> m String

Returns: string

Appends len bytes of val to string.

If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.

If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len is considered to request the entire string length. This makes stringAppendLen equivalent to stringAppend.

appendUnichar

stringAppendUnichar Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Char

wc: a Unicode character

-> m String

Returns: string

Converts a Unicode character into UTF-8, and appends it to the string.

appendUriEscaped

stringAppendUriEscaped Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Text

unescaped: a string

-> Text

reservedCharsAllowed: a string of reserved characters allowed to be used, or Nothing

-> Bool

allowUtf8: set True if the escaped string may include UTF8 characters

-> m String

Returns: string

Appends unescaped to string, escaped any characters that are reserved in URIs using URI-style escape sequences.

Since: 2.16

asciiDown

stringAsciiDown Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a GString

-> m String

Returns: passed-in string pointer, with all the uppercase characters converted to lowercase in place, with semantics that exactly match asciiTolower.

Converts all uppercase ASCII letters to lowercase ASCII letters.

asciiUp

stringAsciiUp Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a GString

-> m String

Returns: passed-in string pointer, with all the lowercase characters converted to uppercase in place, with semantics that exactly match asciiToupper.

Converts all lowercase ASCII letters to uppercase ASCII letters.

assign

stringAssign Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: the destination String. Its current contents are destroyed.

-> Text

rval: the string to copy into string

-> m String

Returns: string

Copies the bytes from a string into a String, destroying any previous contents. It is rather like the standard strcpy() function, except that you do not have to worry about having enough space to copy the string.

down

stringDown Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> m String

Returns: the String

Deprecated: (Since version 2.2)This function uses the locale-specific tolower() function, which is almost never the right thing. Use stringAsciiDown or utf8Strdown instead.

Converts a String to lowercase.

equal

stringEqual Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

v: a String

-> String

v2: another String

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the strings are the same length and contain the same bytes

Compares two strings for equality, returning True if they are equal. For use with HashTable.

erase

stringErase Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int64

pos: the position of the content to remove

-> Int64

len: the number of bytes to remove, or -1 to remove all following bytes

-> m String

Returns: string

Removes len bytes from a String, starting at position pos. The rest of the String is shifted down to fill the gap.

free

stringFree Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Bool

freeSegment: if True, the actual character data is freed as well

-> m (Maybe Text)

Returns: the character data of string (i.e. Nothing if freeSegment is True)

Frees the memory allocated for the String. If freeSegment is True it also frees the character data. If it's False, the caller gains ownership of the buffer and must free it after use with free.

freeToBytes

stringFreeToBytes Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> m Bytes

Returns: A newly allocated Bytes containing contents of string; string itself is freed

Transfers ownership of the contents of string to a newly allocated Bytes. The String structure itself is deallocated, and it is therefore invalid to use string after invoking this function.

Note that while String ensures that its buffer always has a trailing nul character (not reflected in its "len"), the returned Bytes does not include this extra nul; i.e. it has length exactly equal to the "len" member.

Since: 2.34

hash

stringHash Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

str: a string to hash

-> m Word32

Returns: hash code for str

Creates a hash code for str; for use with HashTable.

insert

stringInsert Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int64

-> Text

val: the string to insert

-> m String

Returns: string

Inserts a copy of a string into a String, expanding it if necessary.

insertC

stringInsertC Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int64

pos: the position to insert the byte

-> Int8

c: the byte to insert

-> m String

Returns: string

Inserts a byte into a String, expanding it if necessary.

insertLen

stringInsertLen Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int64

pos: position in string where insertion should happen, or -1 for at the end

-> Text

val: bytes to insert

-> Int64

len: number of bytes of val to insert, or -1 for all of val

-> m String

Returns: string

Inserts len bytes of val into string at pos.

If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.

If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len is considered to request the entire string length.

If pos is -1, bytes are inserted at the end of the string.

insertUnichar

stringInsertUnichar Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int64

pos: the position at which to insert character, or -1 to append at the end of the string

-> Text

val: the string that will overwrite the string starting at pos

-> Int64

len: the number of bytes to write from val

-> m String

Returns: string

Overwrites part of a string, lengthening it if necessary. This function will work with embedded nuls.

Since: 2.14

prepend

stringPrepend Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Text

val: the string to prepend on the start of string

-> m String

Returns: string

Adds a string on to the start of a String, expanding it if necessary.

prependC

stringPrependC Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Int8

c: the byte to prepend on the start of the String

-> m String

Returns: string

Adds a byte onto the start of a String, expanding it if necessary.

prependLen

stringPrependLen Source #

Arguments

string: a String

-> Text

val: bytes to prepend

-> Int64

len: number of bytes in val to prepend, or -1 for all of val

Returns: string

Prepends len bytes of val to string.

If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.

If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len is considered to request the entire string length. This makes stringPrependLen equivalent to stringPrepend.

prependUnichar

stringPrependUnichar Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Char

wc: a Unicode character

-> m String

Returns: string

setSize

stringSetSize Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Word64

len: the new length

-> m String

Returns: string

Sets the length of a String. If the length is less than the current length, the string will be truncated. If the length is greater than the current length, the contents of the newly added area are undefined. (However, as always, string->str[string->len] will be a nul byte.)

truncate

stringTruncate Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> Word64

len: the new size of string

-> m String

Returns: string

Cuts off the end of the GString, leaving the first len bytes.

up

stringUp Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m) 
=> String

string: a String

-> m String

Returns: string

Deprecated: (Since version 2.2)This function uses the locale-specific toupper() function, which is almost never the right thing. Use stringAsciiUp or utf8Strup instead.

Converts a String to uppercase.

Properties

allocatedLen

the number of bytes that can be stored in the string before it needs to be reallocated. May be larger than len.

getStringAllocatedLen :: MonadIO m => String -> m Word64 Source #

Get the value of the “allocated_len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get string #allocatedLen

setStringAllocatedLen :: MonadIO m => String -> Word64 -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “allocated_len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set string [ #allocatedLen := value ]

len

contains the length of the string, not including the terminating nul byte.

getStringLen :: MonadIO m => String -> m Word64 Source #

Get the value of the “len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get string #len

setStringLen :: MonadIO m => String -> Word64 -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “len” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set string [ #len := value ]

str

points to the character data. It may move as text is added. The str field is null-terminated and so can be used as an ordinary C string.

clearStringStr :: MonadIO m => String -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “str” field to Nothing. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

clear #str

getStringStr :: MonadIO m => String -> m (Maybe Text) Source #

Get the value of the “str” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

get string #str

setStringStr :: MonadIO m => String -> CString -> m () Source #

Set the value of the “str” field. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

set string [ #str := value ]
