DESCRIPTION

       Cabin is the utility API which provides memory allocating functions, sorting functions, extensible datum,
       array list, hash map, heap array, and so on for handling records easily on  memory.   This  API  features
       also parsing MIME, CSV, and XML, and features various types of encoding and decoding.

       In  order  to  use  Cabin, you should include `cabin.h' and `stdlib.h' in the source files.  Usually, the
       following description will be near the beginning of a source file.

              #include <cabin.h>
              #include <stdlib.h>

       A pointer to `CBDATUM' is used as a handle of an extensible datum.  A datum handle  is  opened  with  the
       function  `cbdatumopen'  and closed with `cbdatumclose'.  A pointer to `CBLIST' is used as a handle of an
       array list.  A list handle is opened with the function `cblistopen' and  closed  with  `cblistclose'.   A
       pointer  to  `CBMAP'  is  used  as  a  handle  of  a  hash map.  A map handle is opened with the function
       `cbmapopen' and closed with `cbmapclose'.  A pointer to `CBHEAP' is used as a handle of a heap array.   A
       heap handle is opened with the function `cbheapopen' and closed with `cbheapclose'.  You should not refer
       directly to any member of each handles.

       The external variable `cbfatalfunc' is the pointer to call back function for handling a fatal error.

       extern void (*cbfatalfunc)(const char *message);
              The argument specifies the error message.  The initial value of this variable is `NULL'.   If  the
              value  is  `NULL', the default function is called when a fatal error occurs.  A fatal error occurs
              when memory allocation is failed.

       The function `cbmalloc' is used in order to allocate a region on memory.

       void *cbmalloc(size_t size);
              `size' specifies the size of the region.  The return value is the pointer to the allocated region.
              Because  the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released
              with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbrealloc' is used in order to re-allocate a region on memory.

       void *cbrealloc(void *ptr, size_t size);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to a region.  `size' specifies the size of  the  region.   The  return
              value  is  the  pointer  to  the  re-allocated  region.  Because the region of the return value is
              allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in
              use.

       The function `cbmemdup' is used in order to duplicate a region on memory.

       char *cbmemdup(const char *ptr, int size);
              `ptr'  specifies  the  pointer  to  a  region.  `size' specifies the size of the region.  If it is
              negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.   The  return  value  is  the  pointer  to  the
              allocated  region of the duplicate.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the
              region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character  string.   Because  the
              region  of  the  return  value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbfree' is used in order to free a region on memory.

       void cbfree(void *ptr);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to a region.  If it is `NULL', this function has no effect.   Although
              this  function  is  just  a  wrapper  of `free' call, this is useful in applications using another
              package of the `malloc' series.

       The function `cbglobalgc' is used in order to register the pointer or handle of an object to  the  global
       garbage collector.

       void cbglobalgc(void *ptr, void (*func)(void *));
              `ptr' specifies the pointer or handle of an object.  `func' specifies the pointer to a function to
              release resources of the object.  Its argument is the pointer or handle of the object to  release.
              This  function assures that resources of an object are released when the process exits normally by
              returning from the `main' function or calling the `exit' function.

       The function `cbggcsweep' is used in order to exercise the global garbage collector explicitly.

       void cbggcsweep(void);
              Note that you should not use objects registered to the global garbage collector any  longer  after
              calling  this  function.  Because the global garbage collector is initialized and you can register
              new objects into it.

       The function `cbvmemavail' is used in order to check availability of allocation of the virtual memory.

       int cbvmemavail(size_t size);
              `size' specifies the size of region to be allocated newly.  The return value is true if allocation
              should be success, or false if not.

       The function `cbisort' is used in order to sort an array using insert sort.

       void cbisort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));
              `base'  specifies the pointer to an array.  `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array.
              `size' specifies the size of each element.  `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing  function.
              The  two  arguments  specify  the  pointers  of  elements.   The comparing function should returns
              positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal.  Insert sort is
              useful only if most elements have been sorted already.

       The function `cbssort' is used in order to sort an array using shell sort.

       void cbssort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));
              `base'  specifies the pointer to an array.  `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array.
              `size' specifies the size of each element.  `compar' specifies the pointer to comparing  function.
              The  two  arguments  specify  the  pointers  of  elements.   The comparing function should returns
              positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big,  0  if  both  are  equal.   If  most
              elements have been sorted, shell sort may be faster than heap sort or quick sort.

       The function `cbhsort' is used in order to sort an array using heap sort.

       void cbhsort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));
              `base'  specifies the pointer to an array.  `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array.
              `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to  comparing  function.
              The  two  arguments  specify  the  pointers  of  elements.   The comparing function should returns
              positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equal.  Although  heap
              sort is robust against bias of input, quick sort is faster in most cases.

       The function `cbqsort' is used in order to sort an array using quick sort.

       void cbqsort(void *base, int nmemb, int size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));
              `base'  specifies the pointer to an array.  `nmemb' specifies the number of elements of the array.
              `size' specifies the size of each element. `compar' specifies the pointer to  comparing  function.
              The  two  arguments  specify  the  pointers  of  elements.   The comparing function should returns
              positive if the former is big, negative if the  latter  is  big,  0  if  both  are  equal.   Being
              sensitive to bias of input, quick sort is the fastest sorting algorithm.

       The function `cbstricmp' is used in order to compare two strings with case insensitive evaluation.

       int cbstricmp(const char *astr, const char *bstr);
              `astr'  specifies  the  pointer  of one string.  `astr' specifies the pointer of the other string.
              The return value is positive if the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0  if  both  are
              equivalent.  Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

       The function `cbstrfwmatch' is used in order to check whether a string begins with a key.

       int cbstrfwmatch(const char *str, const char *key);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a target string.  `key' specifies the pointer of a forward matching
              key string.  The return value is true if the target string begins with the key, else, it is false.

       The function `cbstrfwimatch' is used in order to check whether a string begins  with  a  key,  with  case
       insensitive evaluation.

       int cbstrfwimatch(const char *str, const char *key);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a target string.  `key' specifies the pointer of a forward matching
              key string.  The return value is true if the target string begins with the key, else, it is false.
              Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

       The function `cbstrbwmatch' is used in order to check whether a string ends with a key.

       int cbstrbwmatch(const char *str, const char *key);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a  target  string.   `key' specifies the pointer of a backward
              matching key string.  The return value is true if the target string ends with the key, else, it is
              false.

       The  function  `cbstrbwimatch'  is  used  in  order  to check whether a string ends with a key, with case
       insensitive evaluation.

       int cbstrbwimatch(const char *str, const char *key);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a target  string.   `key'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a  backward
              matching key string.  The return value is true if the target string ends with the key, else, it is
              false.  Upper cases and lower cases of alphabets in ASCII code are not distinguished.

       The function `cbstrstrkmp' is used in order to locate a substring in a string using KMP method.

       char *cbstrstrkmp(const char *haystack, const char *needle);
              `haystack' specifies the pointer of  a  target  string.   `needle'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a
              substring  to  be  found.   The  return  value is the pointer to the beginning of the substring or
              `NULL' if the substring is not found.  In most cases, `strstr'  as  a  built-in  function  of  the
              compiler is faster than this function.

       The function `cbstrstrkmp' is used in order to locate a substring in a string using BM method.

       char *cbstrstrbm(const char *haystack, const char *needle);
              `haystack'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a  target  string.   `needle'  specifies the pointer of a
              substring to be found.  The return value is the pointer to  the  beginning  of  the  substring  or
              `NULL'  if  the  substring  is  not  found.  In most cases, `strstr' as a built-in function of the
              compiler is faster than this function.

       The function `cbstrtoupper' is used in order to convert the letters of a string to upper case.

       char *cbstrtoupper(char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a string to convert.  The  return  value  is  the  pointer  to  the
              string.

       The function `cbstrtolower' is used in order to convert the letters of a string to lower case.

       char *cbstrtolower(char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a  string  to convert.  The return value is the pointer to the
              string.

       The function `cbstrtrim' is used in order to cut space characters at head or tail of a string.

       char *cbstrtrim(char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a string to convert.  The  return  value  is  the  pointer  to  the
              string.

       The function `cbstrsqzspc' is used in order to squeeze space characters in a string and trim it.

       char *cbstrsqzspc(char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  of  a  string  to convert.  The return value is the pointer to the
              string.

       The function `cbstrcountutf' is used in order to count the number of characters in a string of UTF-8.

       int cbstrcountutf(const char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a string of UTF-8.  The return value is the number of characters in
              the string.

       The  function  `cbstrcututf'  is  used  in  order  to  cut  a  string of UTF-8 at the specified number of
       characters.

       char *cbstrcututf(char *str, int num);
              `str' specifies the pointer of a string of UTF-8.  `num' specifies the number of characters to  be
              kept.  The return value is the pointer to the string.

       The function `cbdatumopen' is used in order to get a datum handle.

       CBDATUM *cbdatumopen(const char *ptr, int size);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to the region of the initial content.  If it is `NULL', an empty datum
              is created.  `size' specifies the size of the region.  If it is negative,  the  size  is  assigned
              with `strlen(ptr)'.  The return value is a datum handle.

       The function `cbdatumdup' is used in order to copy a datum.

       CBDATUM *cbdatumdup(const CBDATUM *datum);
              `datum' specifies a datum handle.  The return value is a new datum handle.

       The function `cbdatumclose' is used in order to free a datum handle.

       void cbdatumclose(CBDATUM *datum);
              `datum'  specifies  a datum handle.  Because the region of a closed handle is released, it becomes
              impossible to use the handle.

       The function `cbdatumcat' is used in order to concatenate a datum and a region.

       void cbdatumcat(CBDATUM *datum, const char *ptr, int size);
              `datum' specifies a datum handle.  `ptr' specifies the pointer  to  the  region  to  be  appended.
              `size'  specifies  the  size  of  the  region.   If  it  is  negative,  the  size is assigned with
              `strlen(ptr)'.

       The function `cbdatumptr' is used in order to get the pointer of the region of a datum.

       const char *cbdatumptr(const CBDATUM *datum);
              `datum' specifies a datum handle.  The return value is the pointer  of  the  region  of  a  datum.
              Because  an  additional  zero  code  is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the
              return value can be treated as a character string.

       The function `cbdatumsize' is used in order to get the size of the region of a datum.

       int cbdatumsize(const CBDATUM *datum);
              `datum' specifies a datum handle.  The return value is the size of the region of a datum.

              `%'.  `@' works as with `s' but escapes meta characters of XML.  `?' works as with `s' but escapes
              meta characters of URL.  `:' works as with `s' but performs MIME encoding  as  UTF-8.   The  other
              conversion character work as with each original.

       The function `cbdatumtomalloc' is used in order to convert a datum to an allocated region.

       char *cbdatumtomalloc(CBDATUM *datum, int *sp);
              `datum'  specifies  a datum handle.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the size of
              the region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is
              the pointer to the region of the datum.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
              the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a  character  string.   Because
              the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.  Because the region of the original datum is  released,  it
              should not be released again.

       The function `cblistopen' is used in order to get a list handle.

       CBLIST *cblistopen(void);

              pointer  to  a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If it is
              `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is the pointer to the region of the element.  Because an
              additional  zero  code  is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value
              can be treated as a character string.  If `index' is equal to or more than the number of elements,
              the return value is `NULL'.

              region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is the
              pointer to the region of the value.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the
              region  of  the  return value, the return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the
              region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should  be  released  with  the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.  If the list is empty, the return value is `NULL'.

              region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is the
              pointer to the region of the value.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the
              region  of  the  return value, the return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the
              region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should  be  released  with  the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.  If the list is empty, the return value is `NULL'.

              pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If  it  is
              `NULL',  it  is not used.  The return value is the pointer to the region of the value.  Because an
              additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value,  the  return  value
              can  be  treated  as a character string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with
              the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it  is  no  longer  in  use.   If
              `index'  is  equal  to  or  more than the number of elements, no element is removed and the return
              value is `NULL'.

       The function `cblistover' is used in order to overwrite an element at the specified location of a list.

       void cblistover(CBLIST *list, int index, const char *ptr, int size);
              `list' specifies a list handle.  `index' specifies the index of an element.  `ptr'  specifies  the

       The function `cbmapget' is used in order to retrieve a record in a map.

       const char *cbmapget(const CBMAP *map, const char *kbuf, int ksiz, int *sp);
              `map'  specifies  a  map  handle.   `kbuf'  specifies  the pointer to the region of a key.  `ksiz'
              specifies the size of the region of the key.  If  it  is  negative,  the  size  is  assigned  with
              `strlen(kbuf)'.   `sp'  specifies the pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the
              return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  If successful, the  return  value  is

              variable  to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is
              not used.  If successful, the return value is the pointer to  the  region  of  the  value  of  the
              corresponding  record.  `NULL' is returned when no record corresponds.  Because an additional zero
              code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated  as
              a character string.

       The function `cbheapinsert' is used in order to insert a record into a heap.

       int cbheapinsert(CBHEAP *heap, const void *ptr);
              `heap'  specifies  a  heap  handle.   `ptr'  specifies the pointer to the region of a record.  The
              return value is true if the record is added, else false.  If the new record  is  bigger  than  the
              biggest  existing  regord, the new record is not added.  If the new record is added and the number
              of records exceeds the maximum number, the biggest existing record is removed.

       The function `cbheapval' is used in order to get the pointer to the region of a record in a heap.

       void *cbheapval(CBHEAP *heap, int index);
              `heap' specifies a heap handle.  `index' specifies the index of a record.  The return value is the
              pointer  to  the region of the record.  If `index' is equal to or more than the number of records,
              the return value is `NULL'.  Note that records are organized by the nagative order  the  comparing
              function.

       The function `cbheaptomalloc' is used in order to convert a heap to an allocated region.

       void *cbheaptomalloc(CBHEAP *heap, int *np);
              `heap'  specifies  a heap handle.  `np' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the number of
              records of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The  return  value  is
              the  pointer  to  the  region  of the heap.  Records are sorted.  Because the region of the return
              value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is  no
              longer  in  use.   Because  the region of the original heap is released, it should not be released
              again.

       The function `cbsprintf' is used in order to allocate a formatted string on memory.

       char *cbsprintf(const char *format, ...);
              `format' specifies a printf-like format string.  The conversion character `%'  can  be  used  with
              such  flag  characters  as  `d',  `o',  `u', `x', `X', `e', `E', `f', `g', `G', `c', `s', and `%'.
              Specifiers of the field length and the precision can be put between the conversion characters  and
              the  flag  characters.  The specifiers consist of decimal characters, `.', `+', `-', and the space
              character.  The other arguments are used according to the format string.  The return value is  the
              pointer  to  the allocated region of the result string.  Because the region of the return value is
              allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in
              use.

       The function `cbreplace' is used in order to replace some patterns in a string.

       char *cbreplace(const char *str, CBMAP *pairs);
              `str' specifies the pointer to a source string.  `pairs' specifies the handle of a map composed of
              pairs of replacement.  The key of each pair specifies a pattern before replacement and  its  value
              specifies  the pattern after replacement.  The return value is the pointer to the allocated region
              of the result string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,
              it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbsplit' is used in order to make a list by splitting a serial datum.

       CBLIST *cbsplit(const char *ptr, int size, const char *delim);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to the region of the source content.  `size' specifies the size of the
              region.  If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  `delim' specifies  a  string
              containing  delimiting characters.  If it is `NULL', zero code is used as a delimiter.  The return
              value is a list handle.  If two delimiters are successive, it is assumed that an empty element  is
              between the two.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with the function `cblistopen',
              it should be closed with the function `cblistclose'.

       The function `cbreadfile' is used in order to read whole data of a file.

       char *cbreadfile(const char *name, int *sp);
              `name' specifies the name of a file.  If it is `NULL', the  standard  input  is  specified.   `sp'
              specifies  the  pointer  to  a  variable  to  which  the size of the region of the return value is
              assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is  the  pointer  to  the  allocated
              region  of the read data.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of
              the return value, the return value can be treated as a character string.  Because  the  region  of
              the  return  value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call
              if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbwritefile' is used in order to write a serial datum into a file.

       int cbwritefile(const char *name, const char *ptr, int size);
              `name specifies the name of a file.  If it is `NULL', the standard  output  is  specified.   `ptr'
              specifies  the  pointer  to  the  region  of the source content.  `size' specifies the size of the
              region.  If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  If  successful,  the  return
              value  is  true,  else,  it is false.  If the file exists, it is overwritten.  Else, a new file is
              created.

       The function `cbreadlines' is used in order to read every line of a file.

       CBLIST *cbreadlines(const char *name);
              `name' specifies the name of a file.  If it is `NULL',  the  standard  input  is  specified.   The
              return  value  is  a list handle of the lines if successful, else it is NULL.  Line separators are
              cut out.  Because the handle of the return value is opened  with  the  function  `cblistopen',  it
              should be closed with the function `cblistclose' if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbdirlist' is used in order to read names of files in a directory.

       CBLIST *cbdirlist(const char *name);
              `name'  specifies  the  name  of  a  directory.   The  return  value  is a list handle of names if
              successful, else it is NULL.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with  the  function
              `cblistopen', it should be closed with the function `cblistclose' if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbfilestat' is used in order to get the status of a file or a directory.

       int cbfilestat(const char *name, int *isdirp, int *sizep, time_t *mtimep);
              `name' specifies the name of a file or a directory.  `dirp' specifies the pointer to a variable to
              which whether the file is a directory is assigned.  If it is `NULL',  it  is  not  used.   `sizep'
              specifies  the  pointer to a variable to which the size of the file is assigned.  If it is `NULL',
              it is not used.  `mtimep' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the last modified  time  of
              the  file is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  If successful, the return value is true,
              else, false.  False is returned when the file does not exist or the permission is denied.

       The function `cbremove' is used in order to remove a file or a directory and its sub ones recursively.

       int cbremove(const char *name);
              `name' specifies the name of a file or a directory.  If successful,  the  return  value  is  true,
              else, false.  False is returned when the file does not exist or the permission is denied.

       The function `cburlbreak' is used in order to break up a URL into elements.

       CBMAP *cburlbreak(const char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer to a string of URL.  The return value is a map handle.  Each key of
              the map is the name of an element.  The key "self" specifies the URL  itself.   The  key  "scheme"
              specifies  the scheme.  The key "host" specifies the host of the server.  The key "port" specifies
              the port number of the server.  The key "authority" specifies the authority information.  The  key
              "path"  specifies  the  path  of the resource.  The key "file" specifies the file name without the
              directory section.  The key "query" specifies the query string.  The key "fragment" specifies  the
              fragment  string.  Supported schema are HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FILE.  Absolute URL and relative URL
              are supported.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with the function `cbmapopen', it
              should be closed with the function `cbmapclose' if it is no longer in use.

       The runction `cburlresolve' is used in order to resolve a relative URL with another absolute URL.

       char *cburlresolve(const char *base, const char *target);
              `base'  specifies  an  absolute  URL of a base location.  `target' specifies a URL to be resolved.
              The return value is a resolved URL.  If the target URL is relative, a new URL of relative location
              from  the  base  location  is  returned.  Else, a copy of the target URL is returned.  Because the
              region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should  be  released  with  the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cburlencode' is used in order to encode a serial object with URL encoding.

       char *cburlencode(const char *ptr, int size);
              `ptr'  specifies  the  pointer  to  a  region.  `size' specifies the size of the region.  If it is
              negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  The return value is the pointer to the  result
              string.   Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be
              released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cburldecode' is used in order to decode a string encoded with URL encoding.

       char *cburldecode(const char *str, int *sp);
              `str' specifies the pointer to a source string.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which
              the  size  of  the  region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The
              return value is the pointer to the region of the result.   Because  an  additional  zero  code  is
              appended  at  the  end  of  the  region  of the return value, the return value can be treated as a
              character string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,  it
              should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbbaseencode' is used in order to encode a serial object with Base64 encoding.

       char *cbbaseencode(const char *ptr, int size);
              `ptr'  specifies  the  pointer  to  a  region.  `size' specifies the size of the region.  If it is
              negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  The return value is the pointer to the  result
              string.   Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be
              released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbbasedecode' is used in order to decode a string encoded with Base64 encoding.

       char *cbbasedecode(const char *str, int *sp);
              `str' specifies the pointer to a source string.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which
              the  size  of  the  region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The
              return value is the pointer to the region of the result.   Because  an  additional  zero  code  is
              appended  at  the  end  of  the  region  of the return value, the return value can be treated as a
              character string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,  it
              should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbquoteencode' is used in order to encode a serial object with quoted-printable encoding.

       char *cbquoteencode(const char *ptr, int size);
              `ptr'  specifies  the  pointer  to  a  region.  `size' specifies the size of the region.  If it is
              negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  The return value is the pointer to the  result
              string.   Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be
              released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbquotedecode' is used in order to decode a string encoded with quoted-printable encoding.

       char *cbquotedecode(const char *str, int *sp);
              `str' specifies the pointer to a source string.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which
              the  size  of  the  region of the return value is assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The
              return value is the pointer to the region of the result.   Because  an  additional  zero  code  is
              appended  at  the  end  of  the  region  of the return value, the return value can be treated as a
              character string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call,  it
              should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbmimebreak' is used in order to split a string of MIME into headers and the body.

       char *cbmimebreak(const char *ptr, int size, CBMAP *attrs, int *sp);
              `ptr'  specifies the pointer to the region of MIME data.  `size' specifies the size of the region.
              If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  `attrs' specifies  a  map  handle  to
              store  attributes.   If  it  is  `NULL', it is not used.  Each key of the map is an attribute name
              uncapitalized.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the size of the  region  of  the
              return  value  is  assigned.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The return value is the pointer of
              the body data.  If the content type is defined, the attribute map has the  key  "TYPE"  specifying
              the  type.   If  the character encoding is defined, the key "CHARSET" specifies the encoding name.
              If the boundary string of multipart is defined, the key "BOUNDARY" specifies the string.   If  the
              content  disposition  is defined, the key "DISPOSITION" specifies the direction.  If the file name
              is defined, the key "FILENAME" specifies the name.  If the attribute  name  is  defined,  the  key
              "NAME"  specifies the name.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'
              call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbmimeparts' is used in order to split multipart data of MIME into its parts.

       CBLIST *cbmimeparts(const char *ptr, int size, const char *boundary);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to the region of multipart data of MIME.  `size' specifies the size of
              the region.  If it is negative, the size is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  `boundary' specifies the
              pointer to the region of the boundary string.  The return value is a list handle.  Each element of
              the  list  is  the  string  of  a part.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with the
              function `cblistopen', it should be closed with the function `cblistclose' if it is no  longer  in
              use.

       The function `cbmimeencode' is used in order to encode a string with MIME encoding.

       char *cbmimeencode(const char *str, const char *encname, int base);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  to  a  string.   `encname'  specifies  a string of the name of the
              character encoding.  The return value is the pointer  to  the  result  string.   `base'  specifies
              whether  to use Base64 encoding.  If it is false, quoted-printable is used.  Because the region of
              the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the  `free'  call
              if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbmimedecode' is used in order to decode a string encoded with MIME encoding.

       char *cbmimedecode(const char *str, char *enp);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer to an encoded string.  `enp' specifies the pointer to a region into
              which the name of encoding is written.  If it is `NULL', it is not used.  The size of  the  buffer
              should  be  equal to or more than 32 bytes.  The return value is the pointer to the result string.
              Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be  released
              with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbcsvrows' is used in order to split a string of CSV into rows.

       CBLIST *cbcsvrows(const char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer to the region of an CSV string.  The return value is a list handle.
              Each element of the list is a string of a row.  Because the handle of the return value  is  opened
              with  the  function  `cblistopen', it should be closed with the function `cblistclose' if it is no
              longer in use.  The character encoding of the input string should be US-ASCII, UTF-8,  ISO-8859-*,
              EUC-*,  or  Shift_JIS.   Being  compatible with MS-Excel, these functions for CSV can handle cells
              including such meta characters as comma, between double quotation marks.

       The function `cbcsvcells' is used in order to split the string of a row of CSV into cells.

       CBLIST *cbcsvcells(const char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer to the region of a row of CSV.  The return value  is  a  list  handle.
              Each  element of the list is the unescaped string of a cell of the row.  Because the handle of the
              return value is opened with the function `cblistopen', it  should  be  closed  with  the  function
              `cblistclose' if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbcsvescape' is used in order to escape a string with the meta characters of CSV.

       char *cbcsvescape(const char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  to the region of a string.  The return value is the pointer to the
              escaped string sanitized of meta characters.  Because the region of the return value is  allocated
              with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The  function  `cbcsvunescape'  is used in order to unescape a string with the escaped meta characters of
       CSV.

       char *cbcsvunescape(const char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer to the region of a string with meta characters.  The return  value  is
              the pointer to the unescaped string.  Because the region of the return value is allocated with the
              `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbxmlbreak' is used in order to split a string of XML into tags and text sections.

       CBLIST *cbxmlbreak(const char *str, int cr);
              `str' specifies the pointer to the region of an XML string.   `cr'  specifies  whether  to  remove
              comments.   The return value is a list handle.  Each element of the list is the string of a tag or
              a text section.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with the function  `cblistopen',
              it  should  be  closed  with  the function `cblistclose' if it is no longer in use.  The character
              encoding of the input string should be US-ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-*, EUC-*, or Shift_JIS.   Because
              these  functions  for  XML  are  not XML parser with validation check, it can handle also HTML and
              SGML.

       The function `cbxmlattrs' is used in order to get the map of attributes of an XML tag.

       CBMAP *cbxmlattrs(const char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer to the region of a tag string.  The return  value  is  a  map  handle.
              Each  key  of the map is the name of an attribute.  Each value is unescaped.  You can get the name
              of the tag with the key of an empty string.  Because the handle of the return value is opened with
              the function `cbmapopen', it should be closed with the function `cbmapclose' if it is no longer in
              use.

       The function `cbxmlescape' is used in order to escape a string with the meta characters of XML.

       char *cbxmlescape(const char *str);
              `str' specifies the pointer to the region of a string.  The return value is  the  pointer  to  the
              escaped  string sanitized of meta characters.  This function converts only `&', `<', `>', and `"'.
              Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be  released
              with the `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbxmlunescape' is used in order to unescape a string with the entity references of XML.

       char *cbxmlunescape(const char *str);
              `str'  specifies  the  pointer  to the region of a string.  The return value is the pointer to the
              unescaped string.  This function restores only `&amp;', `&lt;', `&gt;', and `&quot;'.  Because the
              region  of  the  return  value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the
              `free' call if it is no longer in use.

       The function `cbdeflate' is used in order to compress a serial object with ZLIB.

       char *cbdeflate(const char *ptr, int size, int *sp);
              `ptr' specifies the pointer to a region.  `size' specifies the size  of  the  region.   If  it  is
              negative,  the  size  is assigned with `strlen(ptr)'.  `sp' specifies the pointer to a variable to
              which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If successful, the return value  is
              the  pointer  to the result object, else, it is `NULL'.  Because the region of the return value is
              allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in
              use.  This function is available only if QDBM was built with ZLIB enabled.

       The function `cbinflate' is used in order to decompress a serial object compressed with ZLIB.

              is  `NULL',  it is not used.  If successful, the return value is the pointer to the result object,
              else, it is `NULL'.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region  of  the
              return  value,  the  return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the region of the
              return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it
              is no longer in use.  This function is available only if QDBM was built with ZLIB enabled.

              which  the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If successful, the return value is
              the pointer to the result object, else, it is `NULL'.  Because the region of the return  value  is
              allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in
              use.  This function is available only if QDBM was built with ZLIB enabled.

              the  pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If it
              is `NULL', it is not used.  If successful, the return value is the pointer to the  result  object,
              else,  it  is `NULL'.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the
              return value, the return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the  region  of  the
              return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it
              is no longer in use.  This function is available only if QDBM was built with ZLIB enabled.

              which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If successful, the return value  is
              the  pointer  to the result object, else, it is `NULL'.  Because the region of the return value is
              allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in
              use.  This function is available only if QDBM was built with LZO enabled.

              the pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If  it
              is  `NULL',  it is not used.  If successful, the return value is the pointer to the result object,
              else, it is `NULL'.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region  of  the
              return  value,  the  return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the region of the
              return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it

              the  pointer to a variable to which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.  If it
              is `NULL', it is not used.  If successful, the return value is the pointer to the  result  object,
              else,  it  is `NULL'.  Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the
              return value, the return value can be treated as a character string.  Because the  region  of  the
              return value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it

              zero  code  is  appended  at  the  end  of the region of the return value, the return value can be
              treated as a character string.  Because the region of the  return  value  is  allocated  with  the
              `malloc'  call,  it  should  be  released  with  the  `free' call if it is no longer in use.  This
