+Table printer
+=============
-The table.h provides table printing facility. We need to print table
-with arbitrary column types (e.g. int, uint, u64, etc.). The table
-columns have names and the order of the columns is configurable. The
-table checks that the user writes correct type into a cell of the
-table. Additionally, the table allows to print string to an arbitrary
-cell (in order to make the table slightly more flexible).
+The table printer module provides formatting of 2-dimensional tables
+in various ways.
-We should be able to print the table in various formats. Currently
-there is a human readable format
+Each table consists of a number of rows, which are processed one
+after another. All rows have the same number of columns. Internally,
+the columns have a fixed order, each column has its name and a data
+type (e.g., int, uint, u64, etc.). The table printer checks that
+each cell is filled by a value of the appropriate type, except that
+a string value is allowed in any cell (for example, this allows
+a numeric cell to be set to "--" or "unknown").
-We demonstrate the table on a table that contains music recordings:
+Once a table is defined, it can be printed using a variety of formatters
+(human-readable, tab-separated values, etc.). Also, a subset of columns
+can be selected and their order changed.
-The following enum defines the column indices (the enum is indexed
-starting from 0):
+Example
+-------
-// definition of columns
-enum table_columns {
- TBL_REC_ID,
- TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME,
- TBL_REC_ARTIST,
- TBL_REC_YEAR
-};
+Let us construct a simple table of music recordings:
-The following structure contains definition of the table. The table
-columns are defined using the TBL_COL_xxx and TBL_COL_xxx_FMT
-macros. The TBL_COL_xxx macro has two arguments: (1) column name; (2)
-width of the table column. The TBL_COL_xxx_FMT has an additional
-format argument. There exists flags that causes the column to be
-left-aligned (see TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME for a reference). An example of
-the table follows:
+First, we define an enum with column indices (the values are automatically
+numbered starting from 0):
-struct table recording_table = {
- TBL_COLUMNS {
- [TBL_REC_ID] = TBL_COL_UINT("id", 16),
- [TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME] = TBL_COL_STR_FMT("album-name", 20 | CELL_ALIGN_LEFT, "%s"),
- [TBL_REC_ARTIST] = TBL_COL_STR("artist", 20),
- [TBL_REC_YEAR] = TBL_COL_UINT("year", 10),
- TBL_COL_END
- }
-};
+ // Definition of columns
+ enum table_columns {
+ TBL_REC_ID,
+ TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME,
+ TBL_REC_ARTIST,
+ TBL_REC_YEAR
+ };
-The table struct can be reused for printing of multiple tables. The
-usage of the table is used as follows. After the table init is called:
+Then we create a structure with the definition of our table.
+The table columns are defined using the `TBL_COL_xxx` and `TBL_COL_xxx_FMT`
+macros. Each macro gets the name of the column and its default width
+in character. The `_FMT` version has an additional argument: the format
+string for `printf` used for this column. Moreover, various flags can
+be OR-ed to the width of the column, for example `CELL_ALIGN_LEFT` prescribes
+that the cell should be aligned to the left.
-table_init(&recording_table);
+ struct table recording_table = {
+ TBL_COLUMNS {
+ [TBL_REC_ID] = TBL_COL_UINT("id", 16),
+ [TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME] = TBL_COL_STR_FMT("album-name", 20 | CELL_ALIGN_LEFT, "%s"),
+ [TBL_REC_ARTIST] = TBL_COL_STR("artist", 20),
+ [TBL_REC_YEAR] = TBL_COL_UINT("year", 10),
+ TBL_COL_END
+ }
+ };
-the table is initialized and ready to use. To start printing of the
-table, the user has to initialize the fastbuf (which is used for
-output) and call table_start:
+Before you use the table definition, you need to initialize it:
-struct fastbuf *out = bfdopen_shared(1, 4096);
+ table_init(&recording_table);
-table_start(&recording_table, out);
+With a single definition, you can print multiple tables. At the start
+of each table, you should obtain a <<fastbuf:,fastbuf>> where the output
+should be sent, store it in the table structure and call table_start():
-after the table_start is called, we can start filling the rows. Each
-row is ended by table_end_row:
+ struct fastbuf *out = bfdopen_shared(1, 4096);
+ table_start(&recording_table, out);
-table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ID, 0);
-table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME, "The Wall");
-table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ARTIST, "Pink Floyd");
-table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_YEAR, 1979);
-table_end_row(&recording_table);
+Then you can fill the rows one after another. Each row is ended by
+table_end_row():
-table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ID, 1);
-table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME, "Rio Grande Mud");
-table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ARTIST, "ZZ Top");
-table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_YEAR, 1972);
-table_end_row(&recording_table);
+ table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ID, 0);
+ table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME, "The Wall");
+ table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ARTIST, "Pink Floyd");
+ table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_YEAR, 1979);
+ table_end_row(&recording_table);
-Printing of the whole table is endded by calling of the table_end():
+ table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ID, 1);
+ table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ALBUM_NAME, "Rio Grande Mud");
+ table_col_str(&recording_table, TBL_REC_ARTIST, "ZZ Top");
+ table_col_uint(&recording_table, TBL_REC_YEAR, 1972);
+ table_end_row(&recording_table);
-table_end(&recording_table);
+Finally, you should close the table by calling table_end():
+ table_end(&recording_table);
-To reuse the recording_table, we just call table_start followed by
-table_end once again.
+At this moment, the table structure is ready to be used again. When
+you do not need it any longer, you can dispose of it by table_cleanup():
-At the end of the lifetime of the struct recording_table we call:
-table_cleanup(&recording_table);
+ table_cleanup(&recording_table);

/***
- * [[ Usage ]]
- * The table works as follows:
- * The table can be used after table_init is called. Then at the beginning of each printing, the
- * table_start function must be called. After printing, the table_end must be called. The
- * table_start MUST be paired with table_end. Inbetween table_start/table_end the user can set the
- * cells of one row and one row is finished and printed using table_end_row. The pairs
- * table_start/table_end can be used multiple-times for one table. The table is deallocated using
- * table_cleanup. After table_cleanup is called it is not possible to further use the struct table.
- * The struct table must be reinitialized.
- *
- * Default behaviour of the table_col_* is replacement of already set data. To append, the user
- * must use table_append_*
- *
- * To summarize:
- * 1) @table_init is called;
- * 2) @table_start is called following by table_col_xxx functions and @table_end.
- * table_start/table_end forms 1-level parenthesis structure. Some of the table
- * settings can be changed only between table_init and @table_start or after table_end
- * is called (but before next table_start.
- * 3) the table is deallocated using @table_cleanup. After the cleanup
- * is done, the struct table is unusable and must be initialized.
- *
- *
- * An example of the procedure is following sequence of calls:
- * table_init
- *
- * table_start
- * table_end
- * table_start
- * table_end
- *
- * table_cleanup
- *
- * The tableprinter supports user-specified callback for each row and table-print (i.e., a callback
- * that is called in table_end).
- *
- * The table is initialized by defining a table struct using the following macros:
- * o TBL_COLUMNS indicates start of definition of columns
- * o TBL_COL_XXX macros specify the column types with some default formatting the column is specified using a column
- * name (which should be C identifier) and a prefix. the column name is the a string with the column
- * name. The prefix is used for discriminating between columns from different tables. The column index
- * should be taken from an enum. The enum identifier is prefix concatenated with the column name identifier.
- * o TBL_COL_XXX_F macros specify column types with user supplied formatting
- * o TBL_COL_END indicates end of column definitions
- * o TBL_COL_ORDER specify the column order
- * o TBL_COL_DELIMITER specify the in-between cell delimiter
- *
- * The table cells have strict type control, with the exception of type TBL_COL_ANY. In the case of
- * TBL_COL_ANY, the type is not tested and an arbitrary value can be printed into the cell.
- * It is also possible to print string to an arbitrary cell.
- *
- * Features:
- * - user supplied callback functions can be used for modifying the output format.
+ * Filling tables with data
+ * ------------------------
*
- * Command-line options (provided through table_set_option and friends):
- * key value explanation
- * header [0|1] 0=do not print the header
- * cols <col-name>[,<col-name>]* list of column names delimited by comma ','
- * '*' or star '*' meaning all columns
- * fmt [human|machine|blockline] output format
- * col-delim <string> string used as a column delimiter
+ * For each column type, there are functions for filling of cells
+ * of the particular type:
*
+ * * `table_col_`'type'`(table, idx, value)` sets the cell in column `idx`
+ * to the `value`
+ * * `table_col_`'type'`_fmt(table, idx, fmt, ...)` does the same with
+ * a custom printf-like format string
+ * * `table_col_`'type'`_name(table, name, value)` refers to the column
+ * by its name instead of its index.
+ * * `table_append_`'type'`(table, value)` appends a value to the most
+ * recently accessed cell.

- * Possible key-value pairs:
- * header:[0|1] - 1 indicates that the header should be printed, 0 otherwise

- * cols:<string-with-col-names> - comma-separated list of columns that will be printed (in the order specified on the cmd-line)
- * fmt:[human|machine|...] - output type
- * col-delim:<char> - column delimiter

- * Returns NULL on success or an error string otherwise.
