char* br_build_path ( const char *  dir,
const char *  file 
)

Definition at line 705 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_dirname ( const char *  path )

Extracts the directory component of a path.

Similar to g_dirname() or the dirname commandline application.

Example:

 br_dirname ("/usr/local/foobar");  --> Returns: "/usr/local"
Parameters:
pathA path.
Returns:
A directory name. This string should be freed when no longer needed.

Definition at line 765 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_bin_dir ( const char *  default_bin_dir )

Locate the application's binary folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/bin"
Parameters:
default_bin_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the bin folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_bin_dir will be returned. If default_bin_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 450 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_data_dir ( const char *  default_data_dir )

Locate the application's data folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/share"
Parameters:
default_data_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the data folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_data_dir will be returned. If default_data_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 517 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_etc_dir ( const char *  default_etc_dir )

Locate the application's configuration files folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/etc"
Parameters:
default_etc_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the etc folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_etc_dir will be returned. If default_etc_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 649 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_exe ( const char *  default_exe )

Find the canonical filename of the current application.

Parameters:
default_exeA default filename which will be used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the application's canonical filename, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if br_init() failed, then a copy of default_exe will be returned. If default_exe is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 361 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_exe_dir ( const char *  default_dir )

Locate the directory in which the current application is installed.

The prefix is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 dirname(exename)
Parameters:
default_dirA default directory which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the directory, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_dir will be returned. If default_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 389 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_lib_dir ( const char *  default_lib_dir )

Locate the application's library folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/lib"
Parameters:
default_lib_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the library folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_lib_dir will be returned. If default_lib_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 583 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_libexec_dir ( const char *  default_libexec_dir )

Locate the application's libexec folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/libexec"
Parameters:
default_libexec_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the libexec folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_libexec_dir will be returned. If default_libexec_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 616 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_locale_dir ( const char *  default_locale_dir )

Locate the application's localization folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/share/locale"
Parameters:
default_locale_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the localization folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_locale_dir will be returned. If default_locale_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 550 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_prefix ( const char *  default_prefix )

Locate the prefix in which the current application is installed.

The prefix is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 dirname(dirname(exename))
Parameters:
default_prefixA default prefix which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the prefix, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_prefix will be returned. If default_prefix is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 417 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_find_sbin_dir ( const char *  default_sbin_dir )

Locate the application's superuser binary folder.

The path is generated by the following pseudo-code evaluation:

 prefix + "/sbin"
Parameters:
default_sbin_dirA default path which will used as fallback.
Returns:
A string containing the sbin folder's path, which must be freed when no longer necessary. If BinReloc is not initialized, or if the initialization function failed, then a copy of default_sbin_dir will be returned. If default_bin_dir is NULL, then NULL will be returned.

Definition at line 483 of file binreloc.c.

int br_init ( BrInitError error )

Initialize the BinReloc library (for applications).

This function must be called before using any other BinReloc functions. It attempts to locate the application's canonical filename.

Note:
If you want to use BinReloc for a library, then you should call br_init_lib() instead.
Initialization failure is not fatal. BinReloc functions will just fallback to the supplied default path.
Parameters:
errorIf BinReloc failed to initialize, then the error code will be stored in this variable. Set to NULL if you want to ignore this. See BrInitError for a list of error codes.
Returns:
1 on success, 0 if BinReloc failed to initialize.

Definition at line 320 of file binreloc.c.

int br_init_lib ( BrInitError error )

Initialize the BinReloc library (for libraries).

This function must be called before using any other BinReloc functions. It attempts to locate the calling library's canonical filename.

Note:
The BinReloc source code MUST be included in your library, or this function won't work correctly.
Initialization failure is not fatal. BinReloc functions will just fallback to the supplied default path.
Parameters:
errorIf BinReloc failed to initialize, then the error code will be stored in this variable. Set to NULL if you want to ignore this. See BrInitError for a list of error codes.
Returns:
1 on success, 0 if a filename cannot be found.

Definition at line 344 of file binreloc.c.

char* br_strcat ( const char *  str1,
const char *  str2 
)

Concatenate str1 and str2 to a newly allocated string.

Parameters:
str1A string.
str2Another string.
Returns:
A newly-allocated string. This string should be freed when no longer needed.
