- These routines manipulate extensible strings. The basic type is
- <tt><font size=+1>String</font></tt>, which points to an array of characters. The string maintains
- pointers to the beginning and end of the allocated array. In addition
- a finger pointer keeps track of where parsing will start (for
- <i>s_parse</i>) or new characters will be added (for <i>s_putc</i>,
- <i>s_append</i>, and <i>s_nappend</i>). The structure, and a few useful macros
- are:<br>
- <tt><font size=+1>typedef struct String {<br>

- <i>S_to_c</i> is used when code needs a reference to the character array.
- Using <tt><font size=+1>s&#8722;&gt;base</font></tt> directly is frowned upon since it exposes too much
- of the implementation.<br>
- <p><font size=+1><b>Allocation and freeing </b></font><br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- A string must be allocated before it can be used. One normally
- does this using <i>s_new</i>, giving the string an initial allocation
- of 128 bytes. If you know that the string will need to grow much
- longer, you can use <i>s_newalloc</i> instead, specifying the number
- of bytes in the initial allocation.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_free</i> causes both the string and its character array to be freed.
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_grow</i> grows a string&#8217;s allocation by a fixed amount. It is useful
- if you are reading directly into a string&#8217;s character array but
- should be avoided if possible.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_array</i> is used to create a constant array, that is, one whose
- contents won&#8217;t change. It points directly to the character array
- given as an argument. Tread lightly when using this call.<br>
- <p><font size=+1><b>Filling the string </b></font><br>
- After its initial allocation, the string points to the beginning
- of an allocated array of characters starting with NUL.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_putc</i> writes a character into the string at the pointer and advances
- the pointer to point after it.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_terminate</i> writes a NUL at the pointer but doesn&#8217;t advance it.
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_restart</i> resets the pointer to the begining of the string but
- doesn&#8217;t change the contents.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_reset</i> is equivalent to <i>s_restart</i> followed by <i>s_terminate</i>.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_append</i> and <i>s_nappend</i> copy characters into the string at the
- pointer and advance the pointer. They also write a NUL at the
- pointer without advancing the pointer beyond it. Both routines
- stop copying on encountering a NUL. <i>S_memappend</i> is like <i>s_nappend</i>
- but doesn&#8217;t stop at a NUL.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- If you know the initial character array to be copied into a string,
- you can allocate a string and copy in the bytes using <i>s_copy</i>.
- This is the equivalent of a <i>s_new</i> followed by an <i>s_append</i>.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_parse</i> copies the next white space terminated token from <i>s1</i> to
- the end of <i>s2</i>. White space is defined as space, tab, and newline.
- Both single and double quoted strings are treated as a single
- token. The bounding quotes are not copied. There is no escape
- mechanism.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_tolower</i> converts all ASCII characters in the string to lower
- case.<br>
- <p><font size=+1><b>Multithreading </b></font><br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_incref</i> is used by multithreaded programs to avoid having the
- string memory released until the last user of the string performs
- an <i>s_free</i>. <i>S_unique</i> returns a unique copy of the string: if the
- reference count it 1 it returns the string, otherwise it returns
- an <i>s_clone</i> of the string.<br>
- <p><font size=+1><b>Bio interaction </b></font><br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_read</i> reads the requested number of characters through a <i>Biobuf</i>
- into a string. The string is grown as necessary. An eof or error
- terminates the read. The number of bytes read is returned. The
- string is null terminated.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_read_line</i> reads up to and including the next newline and returns
- a pointer to the beginning of the bytes read. An eof or error
- terminates the read. The string is null terminated.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_getline</i> reads up to the next newline, appends the input to <i>s</i>,
- and returns a pointer to the beginning of the bytes read. Leading
- spaces and tabs and the trailing newline are all discarded. <i>S_getline</i>
- discards blank lines and lines beginning with <tt><font size=+1>#</font></tt>. <i>S_getline</i> ignores
- newlines escaped by immediately-preceding
- backslashes.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- <i>S_allocinstack</i> allocates an input stack with the single file <i>file</i>
- open for reading. <i>S_freeinstack</i> frees an input stack. <i>S_rdinstack</i>
- reads a line from an input stack. It follows the same rules as
- <i>s_getline</i> except that when it encounters a line of the form <tt><font size=+1>#include</font></tt>
- <i>newfile</i>, <i>s_getline</i> pushes <i>newfile</i> onto the input stack,
- postponing further reading of the current file until <i>newfile</i> has
- been read. The input stack has a maximum depth of 32 nested include
- files.<br>
