Detailed Description

Fast string lookups.

A trie is a data structure which provides fast mappings from strings to values.

To create a new trie, use trie_new. To destroy a trie, use trie_free.

To insert a value into a trie, use trie_insert. To remove a value from a trie, use trie_remove.

To look up a value from its key, use trie_lookup.

To find the number of entries in a trie, use trie_num_entries.

Define Documentation

#define TRIE_NULL   ((void *) 0)

A null TrieValue.

---

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _Trie Trie

A trie structure.

typedef void* TrieValue

Value stored in a Trie.

---

Function Documentation

void trie_free

(

Trie *

trie

)

Destroy a trie.

Parameters:

trie

The trie to destroy.

int trie_insert	(	Trie *	trie,
		char *	key,
		TrieValue	value
	)

Insert a new key-value pair into a trie.

Parameters:

	trie	The trie.
	key	The key to access the new value.
	value	The value.

Returns:

Non-zero if the value was inserted successfully, or zero if it was not possible to allocate memory for the new entry.

TrieValue trie_lookup	(	Trie *	trie,
		char *	key
	)

Look up a value from its key in a trie.

Parameters:

	trie	The trie.
	key	The key.

Returns:

The value associated with the key, or TRIE_NULL if not found in the trie.

Trie* trie_new

(

void

)

Create a new trie.

Returns:

Pointer to a new trie structure, or NULL if it was not possible to allocate memory for the new trie.

int trie_num_entries

(

Trie *

trie

)

Find the number of entries in a trie.

Parameters:

trie

The trie.

Returns:

Count of the number of entries in the trie.

int trie_remove	(	Trie *	trie,
		char *	key
	)

Remove an entry from a trie.

Parameters:

	trie	The trie.
	key	The key of the entry to remove.

Returns:

Non-zero if the key was removed successfully, or zero if it is not present in the trie.
