Now let's extend the program a bit so we can greet more than one ! 5: "target". We'd like to be able to specify a list of targets to greet. ! 6: </p><p> ! 7: The list versions of the initialization macros are named ! 8: <code class="function">CFG_STR_LIST()</code>, ! 9: <code class="function">CFG_INT_LIST()</code>, ! 10: <code class="function">CFG_BOOL_LIST()</code> and ! 11: <code class="function">CFG_FLOAT_LIST()</code>. They take the same ! 12: parameters as the non-list versions, except the default value must ! 13: be a string surrounded by curly braces. ! 14: </p><p> ! 15: The modified program is shown below: ! 16: </p><a id="listing4"></a><pre class="programlisting"> ! 17: 1 #include <stdio.h> ! 18: 2 #include <confuse.h> ! 19: 3 ! 20: 4 int main(void) ! 21: 5 { ! 22: 6 cfg_opt_t opts[] = ! 23: 7 { ! 24: 8 CFG_STR_LIST("targets", "{World}", CFGF_NONE), ! 25: 9 CFG_INT("repeat", 1, CFGF_NONE), ! 26: 10 CFG_END() ! 27: 11 }; ! 28: 12 cfg_t *cfg; ! 29: 13 int repeat; ! 30: 14 int i; ! 31: 15 ! 32: 16 cfg = cfg_init(opts, CFGF_NONE); ! 33: 17 if(cfg_parse(cfg, "hello.conf") == CFG_PARSE_ERROR) ! 34: 18 return 1; ! 35: 19 ! 36: 20 repeat = cfg_getint(cfg, "repeat"); ! 37: 21 while(repeat--) ! 38: 22 { ! 39: 23 printf("Hello"); ! 40: 24 for(i = 0; i < cfg_size(cfg, "targets"); i++) ! 41: 25 printf(", %s", cfg_getnstr(cfg, "targets", i)); ! 42: 26 printf("!\n"); ! 43: 27 } ! 44: 28 ! 45: 29 cfg_free(cfg); ! 46: 30 return 0; ! 47: 31 } ! 48: 32 ! 49: </pre><p> ! 50: Three things are a bit different here. First, the macro to ! 51: initialize the "targets" option is ! 52: <code class="function">CFG_STR_LIST()</code>. This tells libConfuse that ! 53: "targets" is a list of strings. Second, the default value in the ! 54: second parameter is surrounded by curly braces. This is needed to ! 55: indicate to libConfuse where the list of values ends. ! 56: </p><p> ! 57: The third change is in the printing of the greeting. First we print ! 58: the "Hello" string. Then we loop through all values found for the ! 59: "targets" option. The number of values is retrieved with the ! 60: <code class="function">cfg_size()</code> function. The string values are ! 61: then retrieved with <code class="function">cfg_getnstr()</code>, which is an ! 62: indexed version of <code class="function">cfg_getstr()</code>. In fact, ! 63: <code class="function">cfg_getstr()</code> is equivalent to ! 64: <code class="function">cfg_getnstr()</code> with an index of zero. ! 65: </p><p> ! 66: In the configuration file hello.conf, we can now specify a list of targets to ! 67: greet: ! 68: </p><pre class="programlisting"> ! 69: # this is the configuration file for the hello program ! 70: ! 71: targets = {"Life", "Universe", "Everything"} ! 72: repeat = 1 ! 73: </pre><p> ! 74: The output of the hello program, run with the above configuration file, is: ! 75: "Hello, Life, Universe, Everything!" ! 76: </p><p> ! 77: Again, if no targets were configured, the greeting would have been the standard ! 78: "Hello, World!". ! 79: </p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ar01s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ar01s04.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">2. Other types of options </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 4. Using sections</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
