scols_new_table (void);

Returns

A newly allocated table.


scols_ref_table ()

void
scols_ref_table (struct libscols_table *tb);

Increases the refcount of tb .

Parameters

tb

a pointer to a struct libscols_table instance

 

scols_table_add_column ()

int
scols_table_add_column (struct libscols_table *tb,
                        struct libscols_column *cl);

Adds cl to tb 's column list.

Parameters

tb

a pointer to a struct libscols_table instance

 

cl

Returns

0, a negative number in case of an error.


scols_table_add_line ()

int
scols_table_add_line (struct libscols_table *tb,
                      struct libscols_line *ln);

Note that this function calls scols_line_alloc_cells() if number of the cells in the line is too small for tb .

Parameters

Returns

0, a negative value in case of an error.


scols_table_colors_wanted ()

int
scols_table_colors_wanted (struct libscols_table *tb);

The ASCII-only output is relevant for tree-like outputs. The library checks if the current environment is UTF8 compatible by default. This function overrides this check and force the library to use ASCII chars for the tree.

If a custom libcols_symbols are specified (see scols_table_set_symbols() then ASCII flag setting is ignored.

This is shortcut for

cl = scols_new_column(); scols_column_set_....(cl, ...); scols_table_add_column(tb, cl);

The column width is possible to define by three ways:

whint = 0..1 : relative width, percent of terminal width

whint = 1..N : absolute width, empty colum will be truncated to the column header width

whint = 1..N

The column is necessary to address by sequential number. The first defined column has the colnum = 0. For example:

scols_table_new_column(tab, "FOO", 0.5, 0); // colnum = 0 scols_table_new_column(tab, "BAR", 0.5, 0); // colnum = 1 . . scols_line_get_cell(line, 0); // FOO column scols_line_get_cell(line, 1); // BAR column

table

 

name

column header

 

whint

column width hint (absolute width: N > 1; relative width: N < 1)

 

flags

flags integer

 

Returns

newly allocated column
