wget_strcmp()

int wget_strcmp	(	const char *	s1,

	)

Parameters

[in]	s1	String

0 if both s1 and s2 are NULL
-1 if s1 is NULL and s2 is not NULL
1 if s1 is not NULL and s2 is NULL else it returns strcmp(s1, s2)

This functions compares s1 and s2 as ASCII strings, case insensitive, up to a max number of n chars. It also accepts NULL values.

Parameters

[in,out]

wget_strncmp()

int wget_strncmp	(	const char *	s1,

	)

Parameters

[in]	s1	String
[in]	s2	String
[in]	n	Max. number of chars to compare

Returns

0 if both s1 and s2 are the same or if both s1 and s2 are NULL
<0 if s1 is NULL and s2 is not NULL or s1 is smaller than s2
>0 if s2 is NULL and s1 is not NULL or s1 is greater than s2.

This functions compares s1 and s2 in the same way as strncmp() does, except that it also handles NULL values.

wget_strncasecmp()

int wget_strncasecmp	(	const char *	s1,
		const char *	s2,
		size_t	n
	)

Parameters

[in]	s1	String
[in]	s2	String
[in]	n	Max. number of chars to compare

Returns

0 if both s1 and s2 are the same disregarding case or if both s1 and s2 are NULL
<0 if s1 is NULL and s2 is not NULL or s1 is smaller than s2
>0 if s2 is NULL and s1 is not NULL or s1 is greater than s2.

This functions compares s1 and s2 in the same way as strncasecmp() does, except that it also handles NULL values.

wget_memtohex()

void wget_memtohex	(	const unsigned char *	src,
		size_t	src_len,
		char *	dst,
		size_t	dst_size
	)

Parameters

[in]	src	Pointer to input buffer
[in]	src_len	Number of bytes to encode
[out]	dst	Buffer to hold the encoded string
[in]	dst_size	Size of dst in bytes

Encodes a number of bytes into a lowercase hexadecimal C string.

wget_millisleep()

void wget_millisleep

(

int

ms

)

Parameters

[in]

ms

Number of milliseconds to sleep

Pause for ms milliseconds.

wget_get_timemillis()

long long wget_get_timemillis

(

void

)

Return the current milliseconds since the epoch.

wget_percent_unescape()

int wget_percent_unescape

(

char *

src

)

Parameters

[in,out]

src

String to unescape

Returns

0 if the string did not change
1 if unescaping took place

Does an inline percent unescape. Each occurrence of xx (x = hex digit) will converted into it's byte representation.

wget_match_tail()

int wget_match_tail	(	const char *	s,
		const char *	tail
	)

Parameters

[in]	s	String
[in]	tail	String

Returns

1 if tail matches the end of s, 0 if not

Checks if tail matches the end of the string s.

wget_match_tail_nocase()

int wget_match_tail_nocase	(	const char *	s,
		const char *	tail
	)

Parameters

[in]	s	String
[in]	tail	String

Returns

1 if tail matches the end of s, 0 if not

Checks if tail matches the end of the string s, disregarding the case, ASCII only.

wget_strnglob()

char* wget_strnglob	(	const char *	str,
		size_t	n,
		int	flags
	)

Parameters

[in]	str	String
[in]	n	Size of string to run glob() against
[in]	flags	Flags to pass to glob()

Returns

Expanded string after running glob

Finds a pathname matching a given pattern in a part of the input string and returns a string with the the first n bytes replaced with the matching pattern obtained via glob() if one was found. Otherwise it returns NULL.

wget_human_readable()

char* wget_human_readable	(	char *	buf,
		size_t	bufsize,
		size_t	n
	)

Parameters

[in]	buf	Result buffer
[in]	bufsize	Size of /p buf
[in]	n	Number to convert

Returns

Pointer to printable representation of n

Returns a human readable representation of n. n, a byte quantity, is converted to a human-readable abbreviated form a la sizes printed by `ls -lh'. The result is written into the provided buffer.

Unlike `with_thousand_seps', this approximates to the nearest unit. Quoting GNU libit: "Most people visually process strings of 3-4 digits effectively, but longer strings of digits are more prone to misinterpretation. Hence, converting to an abbreviated form usually improves readability."

This intentionally uses kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), etc. in their original computer-related meaning of "powers of 1024". We don't use the "*bibyte" names invented in 1998, and seldom used in practice. Wikipedia's entry on "binary prefix" discusses this in some detail.

wget_get_screen_size()

int wget_get_screen_size	(	int *	width,
		int *	height
	)

Parameters

[out]	width	Number of columns in terminal
[out]	height	Number of rows in terminal

Returns

Upon successful completion, wget_get_screen_size will return 0, and the values of width and height will be set accordingly. If an error was encountered, the function will return -1 without touching the values of width and height.

Get the size of the terminal to which the output is currently printed (stderr). This function accepts two int pointers and will set their values to the width and height of the active terminal in number of columns. If either of the parameter is NULL, its value will not be set by the function.
