46 * Add string to the end of list. If list->strdup_string is set, then
47 * string is copied; otherwise the new string_list_entry refers to the
48 * input string.
50 struct string_list_item *string_list_append(struct string_list *list, const char *string);
53 * Like string_list_append(), except string is never copied. When
54 * list->strdup_strings is set, this function can be used to hand
55 * ownership of a malloc()ed string to list without making an extra
56 * copy.

63 const char *string);
65 void unsorted_string_list_delete_item(struct string_list *list, int i, int free_util);
68 * Split string into substrings on character delim and append the
69 * substrings to list. The input string is not modified.
70 * list->strdup_strings must be set, as new memory needs to be
71 * allocated to hold the substrings. If maxsplit is non-negative,
72 * then split at most maxsplit times. Return the number of substrings
73 * appended to list.
75 * Examples:
76 * string_list_split(l, "foo:bar:baz", ':', -1) -> ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
77 * string_list_split(l, "foo:bar:baz", ':', 0) -> ["foo:bar:baz"]
78 * string_list_split(l, "foo:bar:baz", ':', 1) -> ["foo", "bar:baz"]
79 * string_list_split(l, "foo:bar:", ':', -1) -> ["foo", "bar", ""]
80 * string_list_split(l, "", ':', -1) -> [""]
81 * string_list_split(l, ":", ':', -1) -> ["", ""]
83 int string_list_split(struct string_list *list, const char *string,
84 int delim, int maxsplit);
87 * Like string_list_split(), except that string is split in-place: the
88 * delimiter characters in string are overwritten with NULs, and the
89 * new string_list_items point into string (which therefore must not
90 * be modified or freed while the string_list is in use).
91 * list->strdup_strings must *not* be set.
