Function Documentation

fgetsSkipComments()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char * fgetsSkipComments ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * s, int32_t slen, FILE * fp, char skip_char )

extern

Reads a line from a file while skipping comment lines.

This function reads lines from the specified file stream, ignoring lines that begin with the specified skip_char. It also processes special comment lines that start with !# by parsing them using SDDS_ParseSpecialComments.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure, used for processing comments.
[out]	s	Pointer to a character array where the read line will be stored.
[in]	slen	The maximum number of characters to read into s.
[in]	fp	Pointer to the FILE stream to read from.
[in]	skip_char	Character indicating the start of a comment line. Lines beginning with this character will be skipped.

Returns

On success, returns the pointer s containing the read line. If the end of the file is reached or an error occurs, returns NULL.

Note

The function modifies the buffer s by removing comments as determined by SDDS_CutOutComments.

fgetsSkipCommentsResize()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char * fgetsSkipCommentsResize ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char ** s, int32_t * slen, FILE * fp, char skip_char )

extern

Reads a line from a file with dynamic buffer resizing while skipping comment lines.

This function reads lines from the specified file stream, ignoring lines that begin with the specified skip_char. If a line exceeds the current buffer size, the buffer is dynamically resized to accommodate the entire line. It also processes special comment lines that start with !# by parsing them using SDDS_ParseSpecialComments.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure, used for processing comments.
[in,out]	s	Pointer to a pointer to a character array where the read line will be stored. This buffer may be resized if necessary.
[in,out]	slen	Pointer to an int32_t variable specifying the current size of the buffer s. This value may be updated if the buffer is resized.
[in]	fp	Pointer to the FILE stream to read from.
[in]	skip_char	Character indicating the start of a comment line. Lines beginning with this character will be skipped.

Returns

On success, returns the pointer *s containing the read line. If the end of the file is reached or an error occurs, returns NULL.

Note

The caller is responsible for managing the memory of the buffer *s, including freeing it when no longer needed.

getMatchingSDDSNames()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char ** getMatchingSDDSNames ( SDDS_DATASET * dataset, char ** matchName, int32_t matches, int32_t * names, short type )

extern

Retrieves an array of matching SDDS entity names based on specified criteria.

This function processes a list of SDDS entity names (columns, parameters, or arrays) and selects those that match the provided criteria. It supports wildcard matching and exact matching based on the presence of wildcards in the names.

Parameters

[in]	dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to be searched.
[in]	matchName	Array of strings containing the names or patterns to match against the dataset's entities.
[in]	matches	The number of names/patterns provided in matchName.
[out]	names	Pointer to an int32_t that will be set to the number of matched names.
[in]	type	Specifies the type of SDDS entity to match. Valid values are: SDDS_MATCH_COLUMN SDDS_MATCH_PARAMETER SDDS_MATCH_ARRAY

Returns

• Returns an array of strings (char **) containing the names of the matched SDDS entities.
• If no matches are found, returns NULL.

Note

• The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the returned array and the individual strings within it.
• The function uses wild_match for pattern matching when wildcards are present in the matchName entries.

Warning

• Ensure that the type parameter is correctly specified to match the intended SDDS entity class.
• Passing an invalid type value will cause the function to terminate the program with an error message.

SDDS_AssertRowFlags()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_AssertRowFlags ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, uint32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets acceptance flags for rows based on specified criteria.

This function allows setting row flags in two modes:

• SDDS_FLAG_ARRAY: Sets flags based on an array of flag values.
• SDDS_INDEX_LIMITS: Sets flags for a range of rows to a specific value.

A non-zero flag indicates that a row is "of interest", while a zero flag marks it for rejection.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	Operation mode determining how flags are set. Possible values: SDDS_FLAG_ARRAY: c SDDS_AssertRowFlags(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_FLAG_ARRAY, int32_t *flagArray, int64_t rowsInArray); SDDS_INDEX_LIMITS: c SDDS_AssertRowFlags(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_INDEX_LIMITS, int64_t start, int64_t end, int32_t value);
...	Variable arguments based on the selected mode: SDDS_FLAG_ARRAY: int32_t *flagArray: Array of flag values to assign. int64_t rowsInArray: Number of rows in flagArray. SDDS_INDEX_LIMITS: int64_t start: Starting row index (inclusive). int64_t end: Ending row index (inclusive). int32_t value: Flag value to assign to the specified range.

Returns

• 1 on successful assignment of row flags.
• 0 on failure, with an error message recorded (e.g., invalid parameters, memory issues).

Note

• For SDDS_FLAG_ARRAY, if rowsInArray exceeds the number of allocated rows, it is truncated to fit.

SDDS_Bomb()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_Bomb ( char * message )

extern

Terminates the program after printing an error message and recorded errors.

This function prints a termination message to stderr, invokes SDDS_PrintErrors to display all recorded errors, and then exits the program with a non-zero status.

Parameters

[in]

message

The termination message to be printed. If NULL, a default message "?" is used.

Note

This function does not return; it exits the program.

SDDS_BreakIntoLockedFile()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_BreakIntoLockedFile ( char * filename )

extern

Attempts to override a locked file by creating a temporary copy.

This function tries to break into a locked file by creating a temporary backup and replacing the original file with this backup. The process involves:

• Generating a temporary filename with a .blXXX suffix, where XXX ranges from 1000 to 1019.
• Copying the original file to the temporary file while preserving file attributes.
• Replacing the original file with the temporary copy.

On Windows systems (_WIN32 defined), the function currently does not support breaking into locked files and will output an error message.

Parameters

[in]

filename

The path to the locked file that needs to be overridden.

Returns

• 0 on successful override of the locked file.
• 1 if the operation fails or is not supported on the current platform.

Warning

• The function limits the filename length to 500 characters to prevent buffer overflows.
• Ensure that the necessary permissions are available to create and modify files in the target directory.

Note

• This function relies on the availability of the cp and mv system commands on Unix-like systems.
• The function attempts up to 20 different temporary filenames before failing.

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_BufferedRead ( void * target, int64_t targetSize, FILE * fp, SDDS_FILEBUFFER * fBuffer, int32_t type, int32_t byteOrder )

extern

Reads data from a file into a buffer, optimizing performance with buffering.

This function reads targetSize bytes from the file fp into the memory pointed to by target. It uses the provided fBuffer to buffer file data, improving read performance. If the data type is SDDS_LONGDOUBLE and the long double precision is not 18 digits, it handles conversion to double precision if the environment variable SDDS_LONGDOUBLE_64BITS is not set.

If target is NULL, the function skips over targetSize bytes in the file.

Parameters

target	Pointer to the memory location where the data will be stored. If NULL, the data is skipped.
targetSize	The number of bytes to read from the file.
fp	The file pointer from which data is read.
fBuffer	Pointer to an SDDS_FILEBUFFER structure used for buffering file data.
type	The SDDS data type of the data being read (e.g., SDDS_LONGDOUBLE).
byteOrder	The byte order of the data (SDDS_LITTLEENDIAN or SDDS_BIGENDIAN).

Returns

Returns 1 on success; returns 0 on error.

SDDS_Calloc()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_Calloc ( size_t nelem, size_t elem_size )

extern

Allocates zero-initialized memory for an array of elements.

This function is a wrapper around the standard calloc function, used by SDDS routines to allocate memory. It ensures that even if the requested number of elements or element size is zero or negative, a minimum of 1 element with a size of 4 bytes is allocated.

Parameters

[in]	nelem	Number of elements to allocate.
[in]	elem_size	Size in bytes of each element.

Returns

Pointer to the allocated memory. If allocation fails, returns NULL.

Note

If nelem or elem_size is less than or equal to zero, the function allocates memory for one element of 4 bytes by default.

extern

Casts a value from one SDDS data type to another.

This function converts a value from its original SDDS data type (data_type) to a desired SDDS data type (desired_type). It retrieves the value at the specified index from the data array and stores the converted value in the provided memory location.

Parameters

[in]	data	Pointer to the data array containing the original values.
[in]	index	The zero-based index of the value to be casted within the data array.
[in]	data_type	The original SDDS data type of the value. Must be one of the SDDS type constants: SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_LONG64 SDDS_ULONG64 SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_LONGDOUBLE
[in]	desired_type	The desired SDDS data type to which the value should be casted. Must be one of the SDDS type constants listed above.
[out]	memory	Pointer to the memory location where the casted value will be stored.

Returns

• Returns a pointer to the memory location containing the casted value on success.
• Returns NULL if the casting fails due to invalid data types or other errors.

Note

• The function does not handle casting for SDDS_STRING types.
• The caller must ensure that the memory location has sufficient space to store the casted value.

extern

Modifies a specific field in an array definition within the SDDS dataset.

This function allows you to change a particular field of an array definition, identified either by its name or index. The new value for the field can be provided either as a direct value or as a string, depending on the field type.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	field_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the field to be modified.
[in]	memory	Pointer to the new value for the field. The type of this pointer should correspond to the data type of the field being modified: For non-string fields, provide a pointer to the appropriate data type (e.g., int32_t*, double*). For string fields, provide a char*.
[in]	mode	A bitwise combination of the following constants to specify how to identify the array and how to pass the new value: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify the array by its index. Requires an additional argument of type int32_t (array index). SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify the array by its name. Requires an additional argument of type char* (array name). SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: The new value is provided as a direct value (non-string fields). SDDS_PASS_BY_STRING: The new value is provided as a string (string fields).

The valid combinations of mode are:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX | SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE:

  int32_t SDDS_ChangeArrayInformation(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, char *field_name, void *memory, int32_t mode, int32_t array_index);

• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME | SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE:

  int32_t SDDS_ChangeArrayInformation(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, char *field_name, void *memory, int32_t mode, char *array_name);

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX | SDDS_PASS_BY_STRING:

  int32_t SDDS_ChangeArrayInformation(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, char *field_name, char *memory, int32_t mode, int32_t array_index);

extern

Checks if an array exists in the SDDS dataset with the specified name, units, and type.

This function verifies whether an array with the given name exists within the provided SDDS dataset. Additionally, it can check if the array's units and type match the specified criteria.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to be checked.
[in]	name	The name of the array to check.
[in]	units	The units of the array. This parameter may be NULL if units are not to be validated.
[in]	type	Specifies the expected type of the array. Valid values are: SDDS_ANY_NUMERIC_TYPE SDDS_ANY_FLOATING_TYPE SDDS_ANY_INTEGER_TYPE 0 (if type is to be ignored)
[in]	fp_message	File pointer where error messages will be sent. Typically, this is stderr.

Returns

• SDDS_CHECK_OKAY if the array exists and matches the specified criteria.
• SDDS_CHECK_NONEXISTENT if the array does not exist.
• SDDS_CHECK_WRONGTYPE if the array exists but does not match the specified type.
• SDDS_CHECK_WRONGUNITS if the array exists but does not match the specified units.

Note

• If units is NULL, the function does not perform units validation.
• The function retrieves the array's units and type using SDDS_GetArrayInformation and SDDS_GetArrayType.

Warning

• Ensure that the SDDS dataset is properly initialized and contains arrays before calling this function.
• The function may set error messages using SDDS_SetError if it encounters issues accessing array information.

SDDS_CopyParameterDefinition()

epicsShareFuncSDDS PARAMETER_DEFINITION * SDDS_CopyParameterDefinition ( PARAMETER_DEFINITION ** target, PARAMETER_DEFINITION * source )

extern

Creates a copy of a parameter definition.

This function allocates memory for a new PARAMETER_DEFINITION structure and copies the contents from the source parameter definition to the target. All string fields are duplicated to ensure independent memory management.

Parameters

[out]	target	Pointer to a PARAMETER_DEFINITION* where the copied definition will be stored.
[in]	source	Pointer to the PARAMETER_DEFINITION structure to be copied. If source is NULL, the target is set to NULL.

Returns

Returns a pointer to the copied PARAMETER_DEFINITION structure on success. Returns NULL on failure (e.g., memory allocation failure).

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the copied parameter definition using SDDS_FreeParameterDefinition.

SDDS_CopyString()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_CopyString ( char ** target, const char * source )

extern

Copies a source string to a target string with memory allocation.

This function allocates memory for the target string and copies the contents of the source string into it. If the source string is NULL, the target string is set to NULL.

Parameters

[out]	target	Pointer to a char* variable where the copied string will be stored. Memory is allocated within this function and should be freed by the caller to avoid memory leaks.
[in]	source	The source string to be copied. If NULL, the target is set to NULL.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful copy and memory allocation. Returns 0 on error (e.g., memory allocation failure).

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the target string.

extern

Defines a data parameter with a fixed string value.

This function processes the definition of a data parameter within the SDDS dataset. It allows the specification of a fixed string value for the parameter, which remains constant across all data entries. The function validates the parameter name, type, and format string before defining the parameter in the dataset.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	name	A NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter. This name must be unique within the dataset.
[in]	symbol	A NULL-terminated string specifying the symbol for the parameter. Pass NULL if no symbol is desired.
[in]	units	A NULL-terminated string specifying the units of the parameter. Pass NULL if no units are desired.
[in]	description	A NULL-terminated string providing a description of the parameter. Pass NULL if no description is desired.
[in]	format_string	A NULL-terminated string specifying the printf-style format for ASCII output. If NULL is passed, a default format is selected based on the parameter type.
[in]	type	An integer representing the data type of the parameter. Must be one of the following: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING
[in]	fixed_value	A NULL-terminated string specifying the fixed value of the parameter. For non-string types, this string should be formatted appropriately using functions like sprintf.

Returns

• On success, returns the index of the newly defined parameter within the dataset.
• Returns -1 on failure, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• The parameter name must be unique and valid.
• The fixed value must be a valid string representation for the specified parameter type.

Postcondition

• The parameter is defined within the dataset with the specified attributes and fixed value.
• The dataset's internal structures are updated to include the new parameter.

Note

• For numerical parameter types, the fixed value string should represent the numerical value correctly.
• The function internally handles the conversion of the fixed value string to the appropriate type based on the parameter's data type.

Warning

• Defining a parameter with an invalid type or format string will result in an error.
• Passing an improperly formatted fixed value string for the specified type may lead to unexpected behavior.

extern

Defines a simple data column within the SDDS dataset.

This function provides a simplified interface for defining a data column in the SDDS dataset. It allows the user to specify only the column's name, units, and data type, while omitting optional parameters such as symbol, description, format string, and field length. Internally, it calls SDDS_DefineColumn with default values for the omitted parameters.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	name	A NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column. This name must be unique within the dataset.
[in]	unit	A NULL-terminated string specifying the units of the column. Pass NULL if no units are desired.
[in]	type	An integer representing the data type of the column. Must be one of the following: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING

Returns

• 1 on successful definition of the column.
• 0 on failure, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• The column name must be unique and valid.

Postcondition

• The column is defined within the dataset with the specified name, units, and type.
• The dataset's internal structures are updated to include the new column.

Note

• This function is intended for scenarios where only basic column attributes are needed.
• Optional parameters such as symbol, description, format string, and field length are set to default values.

Warning

• Defining a column with an invalid type or name will result in an error.
• Attempting to define a column with a name that already exists within the dataset will result in an error.

extern

Defines multiple simple data columns of the same data type within the SDDS dataset.

This function provides a streamlined way to define multiple data columns in the SDDS dataset that share the same data type. It allows the user to specify the names and units of the columns, while omitting optional attributes such as symbol, description, format string, and field length. Internally, it calls SDDS_DefineColumn for each column with default values for the omitted parameters.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	number	The number of columns to define. Must be greater than or equal to 0.
[in]	name	An array of NULL-terminated strings specifying the names of the columns. Each name must be unique within the dataset.
[in]	unit	An array of NULL-terminated strings specifying the units of the columns. Pass NULL for elements where no units are desired.
[in]	type	An integer representing the data type for all the columns. Must be one of the following: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING

Returns

• 1 on successful definition of all specified columns.
• 0 on failure to define any of the columns, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• The name array must contain unique and valid names for each column.
• The type must be a supported data type.

Postcondition

• All specified columns are defined within the dataset with the provided names and units.
• The dataset's internal structures are updated to include the new columns.

Note

• Passing number as 0 results in no action and returns success.
• This function is optimized for defining multiple columns of the same type, enhancing code readability and efficiency.

Warning

• Defining a column with an invalid type or name will result in an error.
• Attempting to define a column with a name that already exists within the dataset will result in an error.

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_DisableFSync ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Disables file synchronization for the SDDS dataset.

This function disables the file synchronization feature for the specified SDDS dataset. File synchronization ensures that all buffered data is immediately written to disk, enhancing data integrity. By disabling this feature, the dataset will no longer perform synchronous writes, which can improve performance but may risk data loss in the event of a system failure.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.

Postcondition

• File synchronization is disabled, meaning that SDDS_SyncDataSet will not call fsync.

SDDS_EraseData()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_EraseData ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Erases all data entries in the SDDS dataset.

This function removes all data from the specified SDDS dataset, effectively resetting it to an empty state. It frees any allocated memory associated with data columns, parameters, and arrays, ensuring that all dynamic data is properly cleared. This is useful for reusing the dataset for new data without retaining previous entries.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.

Returns

• 1 on successful erasure of all data.
• 0 on failure, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured.

Postcondition

• All data rows are removed from the dataset.
• Memory allocated for data columns, parameters, and arrays is freed.
• The dataset is ready to accept new data entries.

Note

• This function does not alter the dataset's layout definitions; only the data entries are cleared.
• After erasing data, the dataset can be reused to write new data tables without redefining the layout.

Warning

• Erasing data is irreversible; ensure that any necessary data is backed up before calling this function.
• Concurrent access to the dataset while erasing data may lead to undefined behavior.

SDDS_EscapeCommentCharacters()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_EscapeCommentCharacters ( char * string, char cc )

extern

Escapes comment characters within a string by inserting backslashes.

This function scans the input string string and inserts a backslash (\) before each occurrence of the specified comment character cc, provided it is not already escaped. This is useful for preparing strings to include comment characters without them being interpreted as actual comments.

Parameters

[in,out]	string	Pointer to the string in which comment characters will be escaped. The string will be modified in place.
[in]	cc	The comment character to escape (e.g., #).

Note

The function dynamically allocates a temporary buffer to perform the escaping process and ensures that the original string string is updated correctly. The caller must ensure that string has sufficient space to accommodate the additional backslashes.

SDDS_EscapeNewlines()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_EscapeNewlines ( char * s )

extern

Escapes newline characters in a string by replacing them with "\\n".

This function modifies the input string s in place by replacing each newline character (‘’
') with the two-character sequence'\'and'n'`. It shifts the subsequent characters in the string to accommodate the additional character introduced by the escape sequence.

Parameters

[in,out]

s

Pointer to the null-terminated string to be modified. Important: The buffer pointed to by s must have sufficient space to accommodate the additional characters resulting from the escape sequences. Failure to ensure adequate space may lead to buffer overflows.

Warning

This function does not perform bounds checking on the buffer size. Ensure that the buffer is large enough to handle the increased length after escaping newlines.

extern

Escapes quote characters within a string by inserting backslashes.

This function scans the input string s and inserts a backslash (\) before each occurrence of the specified quote_char, provided it is not already escaped. This is useful for preparing strings for formats that require escaped quotes.

Parameters

[in,out]	s	Pointer to the string in which quotes will be escaped. The string will be modified in place.
[in]	quote_char	The quote character to escape (e.g., ").

Note

The function dynamically allocates a temporary buffer to perform the escaping process and ensures that the original string s is updated correctly. The caller must ensure that s has sufficient space to accommodate the additional backslashes.

SDDS_FileIsLocked()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_FileIsLocked ( const char * filename )

extern

Determines if a specified file is locked.

This function checks whether the given file is currently locked. If file locking is enabled through the F_TEST and ALLOW_FILE_LOCKING macros, it attempts to open the file and apply a test lock using lockf. The function returns 1 if the file is locked and 0 otherwise.

If file locking is not enabled (i.e., the F_TEST and ALLOW_FILE_LOCKING macros are not defined), the function always returns 0, indicating that the file is not locked.

Parameters

[in]

filename

The path to the file to be checked for a lock.

Returns

• 1 if the file is locked.
• 0 if the file is not locked or if file locking is not enabled.

Note

The effectiveness of this function depends on the platform and the implementation of file locking mechanisms.

Warning

Ensure that the F_TEST and ALLOW_FILE_LOCKING macros are appropriately defined to enable file locking functionality.

SDDS_FilterRowsByNumScan()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int64_t SDDS_FilterRowsByNumScan ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * filter_column, uint32_t mode )

extern

Filters rows of interest in an SDDS dataset based on numeric scanning of a specified column.

This function marks rows in the provided SDDS dataset as "of interest" based on whether the entries in the specified filter column can be interpreted as valid numbers. It supports inversion of the filtering criterion through the mode parameter.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
filter_column	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column used for numeric scanning. This column must not be of string type.
mode	An unsigned integer representing mode flags. Supported flags include: NUMSCANFILTER_INVERT: Invert the filtering criterion (select rows where the entry is not a number).

Returns

On success, returns the number of rows marked as "of interest" after filtering. On failure, returns -1 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

-1	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized filter column, filter column is of string type).
Non-negative	Integer representing the count of rows marked as "of interest".

Note

• The filter column must exist and must not be of string type.
• The function uses tokenIsNumber to determine if an entry is a valid number.

extern

Filters rows of interest in an SDDS dataset based on numeric ranges in a specified column.

This function marks rows in the provided SDDS dataset as "of interest" if the values in the specified filter column fall within the defined numeric range (lower_limit to upper_limit). Logical operations specified by the logic parameter determine how the filtering interacts with existing row flags.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
filter_column	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column used for numeric filtering. This column must be of a numeric type.
lower_limit	The lower bound of the numeric range. Rows with values below this limit are excluded.
upper_limit	The upper bound of the numeric range. Rows with values above this limit are excluded.
logic	An integer representing logical operation flags. Supported flags include: SDDS_NEGATE_PREVIOUS: Invert the previous row flag. SDDS_NEGATE_MATCH: Invert the match result. SDDS_AND: Combine with existing row flags using logical AND. SDDS_OR: Combine with existing row flags using logical OR. SDDS_NEGATE_EXPRESSION: Invert the entire logical expression.

Returns

On success, returns the number of rows marked as "of interest" after filtering. On failure, returns -1 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

-1	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized filter column, non-numeric filter column).
Non-negative	Integer representing the count of rows marked as "of interest".

Note

• The filter column must exist and be of a numeric type (e.g., SDDS_SHORT, SDDS_USHORT, SDDS_LONG, SDDS_ULONG, SDDS_LONG64, SDDS_ULONG64, SDDS_FLOAT, SDDS_DOUBLE, SDDS_LONGDOUBLE).
• Logical flags determine how the filtering interacts with existing row flags. Multiple flags can be combined using bitwise OR.

[in]	mode	Specifies the mode for matching parameters. Valid modes are: FIND_SPECIFIED_TYPE FIND_ANY_TYPE FIND_NUMERIC_TYPE FIND_FLOATING_TYPE FIND_INTEGER_TYPE
[in]	...	Variable arguments depending on mode: FIND_SPECIFIED_TYPE: int32_t type, followed by a list of parameter names (char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL) Other Modes: A list of parameter names (char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL)

Returns

• On success, returns a dynamically allocated string containing the name of the first matched parameter.
• Returns NULL if no matching parameter is found or if an error occurs (e.g., memory allocation failure).

Note

• The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the returned string using free() or an appropriate memory deallocation function.
• Ensure that the SDDS dataset is properly initialized and contains parameters before calling this function.

Warning

• Ensure that the variable arguments match the expected parameters for the specified mode.
• Failure to free the returned string may lead to memory leaks.

SDDS_FlushBuffer()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_FlushBuffer ( FILE * fp, SDDS_FILEBUFFER * fBuffer )

extern

Flushes the buffered data to a file to ensure all data is written.

This function writes any remaining data in the buffer (fBuffer) to the file pointed to by fp. If the buffer contains data, it writes the data to the file, resets the buffer, and flushes the file's output buffer using fflush. This ensures that all buffered data is physically written to the file.

Parameters

fp	The file pointer to which buffered data will be written.
fBuffer	Pointer to an SDDS_FILEBUFFER structure containing the buffered data.

Returns

Returns 1 on success; returns 0 on error.

Note

If fBuffer->bufferSize is zero, the function will only call fflush(fp).

Warning

If fp or fBuffer is NULL, the function sets an error message and returns 0.

Retrieves an array from the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function returns a pointer to a SDDS_ARRAY structure containing the data and other information about a specified array within the current data table of an SDDS dataset. The function can either populate a provided SDDS_ARRAY structure or allocate a new one if memory is NULL.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
array_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the SDDS array to retrieve.
memory	Optional pointer to an existing SDDS_ARRAY structure where the array information will be stored. If NULL, a new SDDS_ARRAY structure is allocated and returned.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to a SDDS_ARRAY structure containing the array data and metadata. If memory is not NULL, the function populates the provided structure. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized array name, memory allocation failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to a SDDS_ARRAY structure containing the array data and metadata.

Note

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory for the SDDS_ARRAY structure if memory is NULL.
• The definition field in the returned structure points to the internal copy of the array definition.

extern

Retrieves an array from the current data table of an SDDS dataset and converts its elements to doubles.

This function extracts the specified array from the provided SDDS dataset and converts each of its elements into a double value. It ensures that the array is of a compatible numeric type before performing the conversion.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
array_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the SDDS array to retrieve and convert.
values	Pointer to an integer where the number of elements in the array will be stored upon successful completion.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to an array of double values representing the SDDS array elements. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized array name, incompatible array type, memory allocation failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to an array of double values representing the SDDS array elements.

Note

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory for the returned double array.
• The function does not handle string-type arrays; attempting to retrieve a string array will result in an error.

SDDS_GetArrayInformation()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetArrayInformation ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * field_name, void * memory, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Retrieves information about a specified array in the SDDS dataset.

This function is the preferred alternative to SDDS_GetArrayDefinition. It allows you to obtain information about a specific field of an array, either by the array's name or index.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	field_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the field for which information is requested.
[out]	memory	Pointer to a variable where the retrieved information will be stored. The variable should be of type data_type*, where data_type corresponds to the type of the requested information. For STRING information, use char*. If memory is NULL, the function will verify the existence and type of the information, returning the data type without storing any data.
[in]	mode	Specifies how to identify the array. Valid values are: SDDS_GET_BY_NAME: Identify the array by its name. Requires an additional argument of type char* (array name). SDDS_GET_BY_INDEX: Identify the array by its index. Requires an additional argument of type int32_t (array index).

Returns

On success, returns the SDDS data type of the requested information. On failure, returns zero and records an error message.

Note

This function uses variable arguments to accept either the array name or index based on the mode parameter.

SDDS_GetAssociateInformation()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetAssociateInformation ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * field_name, void * memory, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Retrieves information about a specified associate in the SDDS dataset.

This function allows you to obtain information about a specific field of an associate, either by the associate's name or index.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	field_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the field for which information is requested.
[out]	memory	Pointer to a variable where the retrieved information will be stored. The variable should be of type data_type*, where data_type corresponds to the type of the requested information. For STRING information, use char*. If memory is NULL, the function will verify the existence and type of the information, returning the data type without storing any data.
[in]	mode	Specifies how to identify the associate. Valid values are: SDDS_GET_BY_NAME: Identify the associate by its name. Requires an additional argument of type char* (associate name). SDDS_GET_BY_INDEX: Identify the associate by its index. Requires an additional argument of type int32_t (associate index).

Returns

On success, returns the SDDS data type of the requested information. On failure, returns zero and records an error message.

Note

This function uses variable arguments to accept either the associate name or index based on the mode parameter.

SDDS_GetCastMatrixOfRows()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetCastMatrixOfRows ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int64_t * n_rows, int32_t sddsType )

extern

Retrieves all rows marked as "of interest" as a matrix, casting each value to a specified numerical type.

This function extracts all rows that are flagged as "of interest" within the current data table of a dataset and casts each value to a specified numerical type. It processes only those columns that are flagged as "of interest" and returns the data as a matrix, where each row is an array of casted values corresponding to the selected columns.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
n_rows	Pointer to an int64_t variable where the number of rows retrieved will be stored.
sddsType	Integer constant representing the desired data type for casting (e.g., SDDS_DOUBLE, SDDS_FLOAT, etc.). Must be a valid numerical type as defined by SDDS.

Returns

• Pointer to an array of pointers, where each pointer references a row's data array cast to the specified type.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, no columns selected, inconsistent data types among selected columns, non-numeric sddsType, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks. This includes freeing each individual row array followed by the array of pointers itself.
• All selected columns must have numerical data types. If any selected column is non-numeric, the function will fail.
• Ensure that sddsType is a valid numerical type supported by SDDS.

Note

• The number of rows retrieved is stored in the variable pointed to by n_rows.
• This function performs type casting using SDDS_CastValue. If casting fails for any value, the function will terminate and return NULL.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the columns is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the columns may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetColumn()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetColumn ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name )

extern

Retrieves a copy of the data for a specified column, including only rows marked as "of interest".

This function returns a newly allocated array containing data from the specified column for all rows that are flagged as "of interest". The data type of the returned array matches the column's data type.

For columns of type SDDS_STRING, the returned array is of type char**, with each element being a dynamically allocated string.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column to retrieve.

Returns

• Pointer to the data array on success. The type of the array corresponds to the column's data type.
• NULL on failure, with an error message recorded (e.g., unrecognized column name, memory allocation failure, no rows of interest).

Warning

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to avoid memory leaks. For SDDS_STRING types, each string within the array should be freed individually, followed by the array itself.

Note

• The number of rows in the returned array can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.
• If the column's memory mode is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetColumnDefinition()

epicsShareFuncSDDS COLUMN_DEFINITION * SDDS_GetColumnDefinition ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * name )

extern

Retrieves the definition of a specified column from the SDDS dataset.

This function searches for a column by its name within the provided SDDS dataset. If found, it creates a copy of the column's definition and returns a pointer to it. The returned pointer should be freed by the caller using SDDS_FreeColumnDefinition to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column to retrieve.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to a newly allocated COLUMN_DEFINITION structure containing the column's information. On failure (e.g., if the column is not found or a copy fails), returns NULL and records an error message.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the returned COLUMN_DEFINITION pointer using SDDS_FreeColumnDefinition.

SDDS_GetColumnInDoubles()

epicsShareFuncSDDS double * SDDS_GetColumnInDoubles ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name )

extern

Retrieves the data of a specified numerical column as an array of doubles, considering only rows marked as "of interest".

This function extracts data from a specified column within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those rows that are flagged as "of interest" (i.e., have a non-zero acceptance flag). The extracted data is returned as a newly allocated array of double values.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which data is to be retrieved.

Returns

• Pointer to an array of double containing the data from the specified column for all rows marked as "of interest".
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, non-numeric column type, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks.
• This function assumes that the specified column contains numerical data. Attempting to retrieve data from a non-numeric column (excluding SDDS_CHARACTER) will result in an error.

Note

• The number of elements in the returned array corresponds to the number of rows marked as "of interest", which can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the column is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the column may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetColumnInFloats()

epicsShareFuncSDDS float * SDDS_GetColumnInFloats ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name )

extern

Retrieves the data of a specified numerical column as an array of floats, considering only rows marked as "of interest".

This function extracts data from a specified column within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those rows that are flagged as "of interest" (i.e., have a non-zero acceptance flag). The extracted data is returned as a newly allocated array of float values.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which data is to be retrieved.

Returns

• Pointer to an array of float containing the data from the specified column for all rows marked as "of interest".
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, non-numeric column type, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks.
• This function assumes that the specified column contains numerical data. Attempting to retrieve data from a non-numeric column (excluding SDDS_CHARACTER) will result in an error.

Note

• The number of elements in the returned array corresponds to the number of rows marked as "of interest", which can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the column is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the column may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetColumnInformation()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetColumnInformation ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * field_name, void * memory, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Retrieves information about a specified column in the SDDS dataset.

This function is the preferred alternative to SDDS_GetColumnDefinition. It allows you to obtain information about a specific field of a column, either by the column's name or index.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	field_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the field for which information is requested.
[out]	memory	Pointer to a variable where the retrieved information will be stored. The variable should be of type data_type*, where data_type corresponds to the type of the requested information. For STRING information, use char*. If memory is NULL, the function will verify the existence and type of the information, returning the data type without storing any data.
[in]	mode	Specifies how to identify the column. Valid values are: SDDS_GET_BY_NAME: Identify the column by its name. Requires an additional argument of type char* (column name). SDDS_GET_BY_INDEX: Identify the column by its index. Requires an additional argument of type int32_t (column index).

Returns

On success, returns the SDDS data type of the requested information. On failure, returns zero and records an error message.

Note

This function uses variable arguments to accept either the column name or index based on the mode parameter.

SDDS_GetColumnInString()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char ** SDDS_GetColumnInString ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name )

extern

Retrieves the data of a specified column as an array of strings, considering only rows marked as "of interest".

This function extracts data from a specified column within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those rows that are flagged as "of interest" (i.e., have a non-zero acceptance flag). The extracted data is returned as a newly allocated array of char* (strings).

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which data is to be retrieved.

Returns

• Pointer to an array of char* containing the data from the specified column for all rows marked as "of interest".
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, non-string column type, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks. Each string within the array should be freed individually, followed by the array itself.
• This function assumes that the specified column contains string data (SDDS_STRING or SDDS_CHARACTER). Attempting to retrieve data from a non-string column will result in an error.

Note

• The number of elements in the returned array corresponds to the number of rows marked as "of interest", which can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the column is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the column may be freed after access.

column_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which to extract the matrix.
dimension1	The number of rows in the resulting matrix.
dimension2	The number of columns in the resulting matrix.
mode	Specifies the data layout in the matrix. Use SDDS_ROW_MAJOR_DATA for row-major order or SDDS_COLUMN_MAJOR_DATA for column-major order.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to the allocated matrix containing double values. The matrix is an array of pointers, where each pointer refers to a row (for row-major) or a column (for column-major) in the matrix. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, column not found, dimension mismatch, memory allocation failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to the allocated matrix containing double values.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated matrix and its contents.

SDDS_GetFixedValueParameter()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetFixedValueParameter ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the fixed value of a specified parameter from an SDDS dataset.

This function accesses the fixed value defined for a given parameter in the dataset's layout and converts it to the appropriate data type. If the memory pointer is provided, the converted value is stored at the specified memory location. Otherwise, memory is allocated internally to hold the value, which must be freed by the caller.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
parameter_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter whose fixed value is to be retrieved.
memory	Optional pointer to a memory location where the fixed value will be stored. The size of the memory should correspond to the size of the parameter's data type. If NULL, memory is allocated internally to hold the value.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to the memory containing the fixed value. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, parameter not found, invalid data type, memory allocation failure, or scan failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to the memory containing the fixed parameter value.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory if the memory parameter is NULL.

SDDS_GetInternalColumn()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetInternalColumn ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name )

extern

Retrieves an internal pointer to the data of a specified column, including all rows.

This function returns a direct pointer to the internal data array of the specified column. Unlike SDDS_GetColumn, it includes all rows, regardless of their acceptance flags.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column to retrieve.

Returns

• Pointer to the internal data array on success. The type of the pointer corresponds to the column's data type.
• NULL on failure, with an error message recorded (e.g., unrecognized column name).

Warning

Modifying the data through the returned pointer affects the internal state of the dataset. Use with caution to avoid unintended side effects.

Note

• If the column's memory mode is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data may be freed after access.
• This function does not allocate new memory; it provides direct access to the dataset's internal structures.

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetMatrixFromColumn ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name, int64_t dimension1, int64_t dimension2, int32_t mode )

extern

Extracts a matrix from a specified column in the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function retrieves the data from the specified column and organizes it into a matrix with the given dimensions. The data is arranged in either row-major or column-major order based on the mode parameter. The function allocates memory for the matrix, which should be freed by the caller.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
column_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which to extract the matrix.
dimension1	The number of rows in the resulting matrix.
dimension2	The number of columns in the resulting matrix.
mode	Specifies the data layout in the matrix. Use SDDS_ROW_MAJOR_DATA for row-major order or SDDS_COLUMN_MAJOR_DATA for column-major order.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to the allocated matrix. The matrix is an array of pointers, where each pointer refers to a row (for row-major) or a column (for column-major) in the matrix. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, column not found, dimension mismatch, memory allocation failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to the allocated matrix.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated matrix and its contents.

SDDS_GetMatrixOfRows()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetMatrixOfRows ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int64_t * n_rows )

extern

Retrieves all rows marked as "of interest" as a matrix (array of row arrays).

This function extracts all rows that are flagged as "of interest" within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those columns that are flagged as "of interest" and returns the data as a matrix, where each row is an array of values corresponding to the selected columns.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
n_rows	Pointer to an int64_t variable where the number of rows retrieved will be stored.

Returns

• Pointer to an array of pointers, where each pointer references a row's data array.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, no columns selected, inconsistent row types, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks. This includes freeing each individual row array followed by the array of pointers itself.
• All selected columns must have the same data type. If there is an inconsistency, the function will fail.

Note

• The number of rows retrieved is stored in the variable pointed to by n_rows.
• For columns containing string data (SDDS_STRING), each element in the row arrays is a dynamically allocated string that must be freed individually.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the columns is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the columns may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetNumericColumn()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetNumericColumn ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name, int32_t desiredType )

extern

Retrieves the data of a specified numerical column as an array of a desired numerical type, considering only rows marked as "of interest".

This function extracts data from a specified column within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those rows that are flagged as "of interest" (i.e., have a non-zero acceptance flag). The extracted data is returned as a newly allocated array of the specified numerical type.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which data is to be retrieved.
desiredType	Integer constant representing the desired data type for the returned array. Must be one of the supported SDDS numerical types (e.g., SDDS_DOUBLE, SDDS_FLOAT, etc.).

Returns

• Pointer to an array of the desired numerical type containing the data from the specified column for all rows marked as "of interest".
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, non-numeric column type, memory allocation failure, type casting failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory to prevent memory leaks.
• This function assumes that the specified column contains numerical data. Attempting to retrieve data from a non-numeric column (excluding SDDS_CHARACTER) will result in an error.

Note

• The number of elements in the returned array corresponds to the number of rows marked as "of interest", which can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the column is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the column may be freed after access.
• If the desiredType matches the column's data type, this function internally calls SDDS_GetColumn. Otherwise, it performs type casting using SDDS_CastValue.

SDDS_GetParameter()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetParameter ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value of a specified parameter from the current data table of a data set.

This function accesses the value of a specific parameter (identified by its name) within the current data table of a dataset. The retrieved value is either copied into user-provided memory or returned as a direct pointer to the internal data.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
parameter_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter from which the value is to be retrieved.
memory	Pointer to user-allocated memory where the retrieved parameter value will be stored. If NULL, the function allocates memory.

Returns

• Pointer to the retrieved parameter value stored in memory (if provided) or to newly allocated memory.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized parameter name, undefined data type, memory allocation failure, string copy failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory that the caller must free to prevent memory leaks.
• For parameters containing string data (SDDS_STRING), the function copies the string into memory. A typical usage would involve passing a pointer to a char* variable. c char *string; SDDS_GetParameter(&SDDS_dataset, "parameter_name", &string); // or string = *(char**)SDDS_GetParameter(&SDDS_dataset, "parameter_name", NULL);

Note

• The size of the allocated memory corresponds to the parameter's data type, which can be obtained using SDDS_GetParameterType.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the parameter is set to DONT_TRACK_PARAMETER_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the parameter may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetParameterAsDouble()

epicsShareFuncSDDS double * SDDS_GetParameterAsDouble ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, double * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value of a specified parameter as a double from the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function searches for the parameter by name within the provided SDDS dataset and retrieves its value as a double. If the memory pointer is supplied, the value is stored at the specified memory location. If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory for storing the value, which should be freed by the caller.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
parameter_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter to retrieve.
memory	Optional pointer to a double variable where the parameter value will be stored. If NULL, memory is allocated internally to hold the value.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to the double containing the parameter value. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, parameter not found, type mismatch, or memory allocation failure).
Non-NULL	Pointer to the double containing the parameter value.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory if the memory parameter is NULL.

SDDS_GetParameterAsFormattedString()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char * SDDS_GetParameterAsFormattedString ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, char ** memory, char * suppliedformat )

extern

Retrieves the value of a specified parameter as a formatted string from the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function searches for the parameter by name within the provided SDDS dataset, formats its value based on the supplied format string, and returns it as a null-terminated string. If suppliedformat is NULL, the function uses the format string defined in the parameter's definition. If the memory pointer is provided, the formatted string is stored at the specified memory location. Otherwise, memory is allocated internally to hold the string, which must be freed by the caller.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
parameter_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter to retrieve.
memory	Optional pointer to a char* variable where the formatted string will be stored. If NULL, memory is allocated internally to hold the string.
suppliedformat	A null-terminated format string (similar to printf format specifiers) to format the parameter value. If NULL, the function uses the format string defined in the parameter's definition within the dataset.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to the null-terminated formatted string containing the parameter value. On failure, returns NULL and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

NULL	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, parameter not found, invalid format string, type mismatch, memory allocation failure, or unknown data type).
Non-NULL	Pointer to the null-terminated string containing the formatted parameter value.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory if the memory parameter is NULL.

SDDS_GetParameterAsLong()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t * SDDS_GetParameterAsLong ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, int32_t * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value of a specified parameter as a 32-bit integer from the current data table of a data set.

This function accesses the value of a specific parameter (identified by its name) within the current data table of a dataset and converts it to a 32-bit integer (int32_t). The converted value is either stored in user-provided memory or allocated by the function.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
parameter_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter from which the value is to be retrieved.
memory	Pointer to a 32-bit integer where the converted parameter value will be stored. If NULL, the function allocates memory.

Returns

• Pointer to the int32_t value stored in memory (if provided) or to newly allocated memory containing the converted value.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized parameter name, undefined data type, memory allocation failure, parameter type is SDDS_STRING). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory that the caller must free to prevent memory leaks.
• This function does not support parameters of type SDDS_STRING. Attempting to retrieve string parameters as long integers will result in an error.

Note

• The conversion is performed using SDDS_ConvertToLong, which handles casting from various numerical types to int32_t.
• Ensure that the parameter's data type is compatible with 32-bit integer conversion to avoid data loss or undefined behavior.

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetParameterByIndex ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t index, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value of a specified parameter by its index from the current data table of a data set.

This function accesses the value of a specific parameter (identified by its index) within the current data table of a dataset. The retrieved value is either copied into user-provided memory or returned as a direct pointer to the internal data.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
index	Zero-based index of the parameter to retrieve. Must be within the range [0, n_parameters-1].
memory	Pointer to user-allocated memory where the retrieved parameter value will be stored. If NULL, the function allocates memory.

Returns

• Pointer to the retrieved parameter value stored in memory (if provided) or to newly allocated memory.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, parameter index out of range, undefined data type, memory allocation failure, string copy failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory that the caller must free to prevent memory leaks.
• For parameters containing string data (SDDS_STRING), the function copies the string into memory. A typical usage would involve passing a pointer to a char* variable. c char *string; SDDS_GetParameterByIndex(&SDDS_dataset, index, &string); // or string = *(char**)SDDS_GetParameterByIndex(&SDDS_dataset, index, NULL);

Note

• The size of the allocated memory corresponds to the parameter's data type, which can be obtained using SDDS_GetParameterType.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the parameter is set to DONT_TRACK_PARAMETER_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the parameter may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetParameterDefinition()

epicsShareFuncSDDS PARAMETER_DEFINITION * SDDS_GetParameterDefinition ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * name )

extern

Retrieves the definition of a specified parameter from the SDDS dataset.

This function searches for a parameter by its name within the provided SDDS dataset. If found, it creates a copy of the parameter's definition and returns a pointer to it. The returned pointer should be freed by the caller using SDDS_FreeParameterDefinition to avoid memory leaks.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter to retrieve.

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to a newly allocated PARAMETER_DEFINITION structure containing the parameter's information. On failure (e.g., if the parameter is not found or a copy fails), returns NULL and records an error message.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the returned PARAMETER_DEFINITION pointer using SDDS_FreeParameterDefinition.

SDDS_GetParameterInformation()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetParameterInformation ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * field_name, void * memory, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Retrieves information about a specified parameter in the SDDS dataset.

This function is the preferred alternative to SDDS_GetParameterDefinition. It allows you to obtain information about a specific field of a parameter, either by the parameter's name or index.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	field_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the field for which information is requested.
[out]	memory	Pointer to a variable where the retrieved information will be stored. The variable should be of type data_type*, where data_type corresponds to the type of the requested information. For STRING information, use char*. If memory is NULL, the function will verify the existence and type of the information, returning the data type without storing any data.
[in]	mode	Specifies how to identify the parameter. Valid values are: SDDS_GET_BY_NAME: Identify the parameter by its name. Requires an additional argument of type char* (parameter name). SDDS_GET_BY_INDEX: Identify the parameter by its index. Requires an additional argument of type int32_t (parameter index).

Returns

On success, returns the SDDS data type of the requested information. On failure, returns zero and records an error message.

Note

This function uses variable arguments to accept either the parameter name or index based on the mode parameter.

SDDS_GetParameters()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetParameters ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, ... )

extern

Retrieves multiple parameter values from the current data table of a data set.

This variadic function allows the retrieval of multiple parameter values in a single call. Each parameter's name and corresponding memory location are provided as pairs of arguments.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
...	Variable arguments consisting of pairs of: char *parameter_name: NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter. void *memory: Pointer to memory where the parameter's value will be stored. If NULL, the function will fail for that parameter. The argument list should be terminated when parameter_name is NULL.

Returns

• 1 on successful retrieval of all specified parameters.
• 0 if any parameter retrieval fails. An error message is recorded for the first failure encountered.

Warning

• The function expects an even number of arguments (pairs of parameter names and memory pointers). An odd number may result in undefined behavior.
• Ensure that the memory pointers provided are of appropriate types and have sufficient space to hold the parameter values.

Note

• To terminate the argument list, pass a NULL as the parameter name. c SDDS_GetParameters(&SDDS_dataset, "param1", &value1, "param2", &value2, NULL);

SDDS_GetParameterType()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetParameterType ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t index )

extern

Retrieves the data type of a parameter in the SDDS dataset by its index.

This function returns the SDDS data type of the specified parameter within the dataset. The data type corresponds to one of the predefined SDDS type constants, such as SDDS_LONGDOUBLE, SDDS_DOUBLE, SDDS_FLOAT, etc.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	index	The zero-based index of the parameter whose data type is to be retrieved. The index should be obtained from SDDS_DefineParameter or SDDS_GetParameterIndex.

Returns

On success, returns the SDDS data type of the parameter as an int32_t. On failure (e.g., if the index is out of range or the dataset is invalid), returns 0 and records an error message.

Note

The function does not perform type validation beyond checking the index range. It assumes that the dataset's parameter definitions are correctly initialized.

SDDS_GetRow()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetRow ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int64_t srow_index, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the data of a specific selected row as an array, considering only columns marked as "of interest".

This function extracts data from a specific selected row (identified by its selected row index among rows marked as "of interest") within the current data table of a dataset. It processes only those columns that are flagged as "of interest" and returns the row's data as a newly allocated array or stores it in user-provided memory.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
srow_index	Zero-based index representing the position of the selected row among all rows marked as "of interest".
memory	Pointer to user-allocated memory where the retrieved row data will be stored. If NULL, the function allocates memory.

Returns

• Pointer to the retrieved row data array stored in memory (if provided) or to newly allocated memory.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, row index out of range, inconsistent row types, memory allocation failure). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory that the caller must free to prevent memory leaks.
• All selected columns must have the same data type. If there is an inconsistency, the function will fail.
• For columns containing string data (SDDS_STRING), each element in the returned array is a dynamically allocated string that must be freed individually, followed by the array itself.

Note

• The number of elements in the returned array corresponds to the number of columns marked as "of interest", which can be obtained using SDDS_CountColumnsOfInterest.
• If the dataset's memory mode for the columns is set to DONT_TRACK_COLUMN_MEMORY_AFTER_ACCESS, the internal data for the columns may be freed after access.

SDDS_GetToken()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetToken ( char * s, char * buffer, int32_t buflen )

extern

Extracts the next token from a string, handling quoted substrings and escape characters.

This function parses the input string s to extract the next token, considering quoted substrings and escape characters. If the token is enclosed in double quotes ("), the function ensures that embedded quotes are handled correctly. After extracting the token, the original string s is updated to remove the extracted portion.

Parameters

[in,out]	s	Pointer to the string from which to extract the token. This string will be modified to remove the extracted token.
[out]	buffer	Pointer to a character array where the extracted token will be stored.
[in]	buflen	The maximum number of characters to copy into buffer, including the null terminator.

Returns

On success, returns the length of the extracted token as an int32_t. If no token is found or an error occurs (e.g., buffer overflow), returns -1.

Note

The function assumes that the input string s is null-terminated. The caller must ensure that buffer has sufficient space to hold the extracted token.

SDDS_GetToken2()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetToken2 ( char * s, char ** st, int32_t * strlength, char * buffer, int32_t buflen )

extern

Extracts the next token from a string, handling quoted substrings and escape characters, with updated string pointers.

This function parses the input string s to extract the next token, considering quoted substrings and escape characters. If the token is enclosed in double quotes ("), the function ensures that embedded quotes are handled correctly. After extracting the token, the original string s is updated by adjusting the string pointer st and the remaining string length strlength.

Parameters

[in,out]	s	Pointer to the string from which to extract the token. This string will be modified to remove the extracted token.
[in,out]	st	Pointer to the current position in the string s. This will be updated to point to the next character after the extracted token.
[in,out]	strlength	Pointer to an int32_t variable representing the remaining length of the string s. This will be decremented by the length of the extracted token.
[out]	buffer	Pointer to a character array where the extracted token will be stored.
[in]	buflen	The maximum number of characters to copy into buffer, including the null terminator.

Returns

On success, returns the length of the extracted token as an int32_t. If no token is found or an error occurs (e.g., buffer overflow), returns -1.

Note

The caller is responsible for ensuring that buffer has sufficient space to hold the extracted token. Additionally, st and strlength should accurately reflect the current parsing state of the string.

SDDS_GetTypeName()

epicsShareFuncSDDS char * SDDS_GetTypeName ( int32_t type )

extern

Retrieves the name of a specified SDDS data type as a string.

This function returns a dynamically allocated string containing the name of the specified SDDS data type. The name corresponds to the textual representation of the data type, such as "double", "float", "int32", etc.

Parameters

[in]

type

The SDDS data type for which the name is requested. Must be one of the predefined constants: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING

Returns

On success, returns a pointer to a newly allocated string containing the name of the data type. On failure (e.g., if the type is invalid or memory allocation fails), returns NULL.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for the returned string using SDDS_Free.

SDDS_GetTypeSize()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_GetTypeSize ( int32_t type )

extern

Retrieves the size in bytes of a specified SDDS data type.

This function returns the size, in bytes, of the specified SDDS data type. The size corresponds to the memory footprint of the data type when stored in the dataset.

Parameters

[in]

type

The SDDS data type for which the size is requested. Must be one of the predefined constants: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING

Returns

On success, returns a positive integer representing the size of the data type in bytes. On failure (e.g., if the type is invalid), returns -1 and records an error message.

Note

The function relies on the SDDS_type_size array, which should be properly initialized with the sizes of all supported SDDS data types.

SDDS_GetValue()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetValue ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name, int64_t srow_index, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value from a specified column and selected row, optionally storing it in provided memory.

This function accesses the value of a specific column and selected row within the current data table of a dataset. It returns the value as a pointer to the data, allowing for both direct access and optional storage in user-provided memory.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which the value is to be retrieved.
srow_index	Zero-based index representing the position of the selected row among all rows marked as "of interest".
memory	Pointer to user-allocated memory where the retrieved value will be stored. If NULL, the function allocates memory internally, and the caller is responsible for freeing it.

Returns

• Pointer to the retrieved value stored in memory (if provided) or in newly allocated memory.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, undefined data type, memory allocation failure, invalid row index). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function allocates memory that the caller must free to prevent memory leaks.
• The function does not perform type casting. Ensure that the provided memory is of the appropriate type matching the column's data type.
• Modifying the data through the returned pointer affects the internal state of the dataset. Use with caution to avoid unintended side effects.

Note

• For columns containing string data (SDDS_STRING), the function copies the string into memory. A typical usage would involve passing a pointer to a char* variable. c char *string; SDDS_GetValue(&SDDS_dataset, "name", index, &string); // or string = *(char**)SDDS_GetValue(&SDDS_dataset, "name", index, NULL);
• The number of rows marked as "of interest" can be obtained using SDDS_CountRowsOfInterest.

SDDS_GetValueAsDouble()

epicsShareFuncSDDS double SDDS_GetValueAsDouble ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name, int64_t srow_index )

extern

Retrieves the value from a specified column and selected row, casting it to a double.

This function accesses the value of a specific column and selected row within the current data table of a dataset. It casts the retrieved value to a double before returning it.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_name	NULL-terminated string specifying the name of the column from which the value is to be retrieved.
srow_index	Zero-based index representing the position of the selected row among all rows marked as "of interest".

Returns

• Double representing the casted value from the specified column and row.
• 0 if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, undefined data type, invalid row index, non-numeric column type). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• This function only supports numerical data types. Attempting to retrieve and cast data from non-numeric columns (excluding SDDS_CHARACTER) will result in an error.

Note

• The function internally allocates temporary memory to store the value before casting. This memory is freed before the function returns.

SDDS_GetValueByAbsIndex()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_GetValueByAbsIndex ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t column_index, int64_t row_index, void * memory )

extern

Retrieves the value from a specified column and absolute row index, optionally storing it in provided memory.

This function accesses the value of a specific column (identified by its index) and an absolute row index within the current data table of a dataset. The retrieved value is either copied into user-provided memory or returned as a direct pointer to the internal data.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_index	Zero-based index of the column from which the value is to be retrieved. Must be within the range [0, n_columns-1].
row_index	Absolute zero-based row index within the dataset's data table. Must be within the range [0, n_rows-1].
memory	Pointer to user-allocated memory where the retrieved value will be stored. If NULL, the function returns a pointer to the internal data.

Returns

• Pointer to the retrieved value stored in memory (if provided) or to the internal data.
• NULL if an error occurs (e.g., invalid dataset, column index out of range, row index out of range, undefined data type, memory allocation failure, non-numeric column type). In this case, an error message is recorded internally.

Warning

• If memory is NULL, the function returns a direct pointer to the internal data. Modifying the data through this pointer affects the dataset's internal state.
• If memory is provided, ensure that it points to sufficient memory to hold the data type of the column.
• This function does not perform type casting. Ensure that the memory type matches the column's data type.

Note

• Unlike SDDS_GetValueByIndex, this function uses an absolute row index rather than a selected row index among rows marked as "of interest".
• For columns containing string data (SDDS_STRING), the function copies the string into memory. A typical usage would involve passing a pointer to a char* variable. c char *string; SDDS_GetValueByAbsIndex(&SDDS_dataset, column_index, row_index, &string); // or string = *(char**)SDDS_GetValueByAbsIndex(&SDDS_dataset, column_index, row_index, NULL);

SDDS_InitializeAppendToPage()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_InitializeAppendToPage ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, const char * filename, int64_t updateInterval, int64_t * rowsPresentReturn )

extern

Initializes the SDDS dataset for appending data to the last page of an existing file.

This function sets up the SDDS dataset to append additional data rows to the last page of an existing SDDS file. It reads the existing file layout, determines the current state of data (including row counts), and prepares internal data structures to accommodate new data. The function also handles file locking, buffer management, and ensures that the file is ready for efficient data appending based on the specified update interval.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to be initialized for appending.
[in]	filename	The name of the existing SDDS file to which data will be appended. If NULL, data will be appended to standard input.
[in]	updateInterval	The number of rows to write before the dataset reallocates memory or flushes data. This parameter controls the frequency of memory allocation and disk I/O operations during the append process.
[out]	rowsPresentReturn	Pointer to an int64_t variable where the function will store the number of rows present in the dataset after initialization. This provides information on the current dataset size.

Returns

• 1 on successful initialization.
• 0 on error. In this case, an internal error message is set detailing the issue.

Precondition

• The specified file must exist and be a valid SDDS file.
• The file must not be compressed (gzip, lzma, xz) and must be accessible for read and write operations.

Postcondition

• The dataset is configured to append data to the last page of the file.
• Internal structures are initialized to track row counts and manage memory efficiently based on the update interval.
• The file is locked to prevent concurrent modifications.
• rowsPresentReturn is updated with the current number of rows in the dataset.

Note

• If filename is NULL, data will be appended from standard input.
• The function sets internal flags indicating whether the file already contained data prior to appending.

Warning

• Appending to a compressed file is not supported and will result in an error.
• Ensure that no other processes are accessing the file simultaneously to avoid conflicts.

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_InitializeOutput ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t data_mode, int32_t lines_per_row, const char * description, const char * contents, const char * filename )

extern

Initializes the SDDS output dataset.

This function sets up the SDDS dataset for output operations by initializing the necessary structures, configuring the data mode (ASCII, Binary, or Parallel), handling file opening (including compressed files), and setting dataset metadata such as description and contents. It ensures that the dataset is ready for writing data according to the specified parameters.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to be initialized for output.
[in]	data_mode	The data mode for the output dataset. Acceptable values are: SDDS_ASCII: ASCII text format. SDDS_BINARY: Binary format. SDDS_PARALLEL: Parallel processing mode.
[in]	lines_per_row	The number of lines per row in the output dataset. This parameter is used only for ASCII output and is typically set to 1.
[in]	description	A string containing the description of the output dataset. Pass NULL if no description is desired.
[in]	contents	A string detailing the contents of the output dataset. Pass NULL if no contents are desired.
[in]	filename	The name of the file to which the dataset will be written. If NULL, the dataset will be written to standard output.

Returns

• 1 on successful initialization.
• 0 if an error occurred during initialization. In this case, an error message is set internally.

Precondition

• The SDDS_dataset pointer must be valid and point to a properly allocated SDDS_DATASET structure.

Postcondition

• The dataset is configured for output according to the specified parameters.
• The output file is opened and locked if a filename is provided.
• The dataset's internal state reflects the initialization status.

Note

• When using compressed file formats (e.g., .gz, .lzma, .xz), the output mode is forced to binary.
• Environment variable SDDS_OUTPUT_ENDIANESS can be set to "big" or "little" to declare the byte order.
• For ASCII output, ensure that lines_per_row is set appropriately to match the data structure.

Warning

• Appending to compressed files is not supported and will result in an error.
• Ensure that the specified file is not locked by another process to avoid initialization failures.
• Changing data mode after initialization is not supported and may lead to undefined behavior.

SDDS_InterpretEscapes()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_InterpretEscapes ( char * s )

extern

Interprets and converts escape sequences in a string.

This function processes a string containing escape sequences and converts them into their corresponding character representations. Supported escape sequences include:

• Standard ANSI escape codes: \n, \t, \b, \r, \f, \v, \\, \', \", \a, \?
• Octal values: \ddd
• SDDS-specific escape codes: \!, \)

The function modifies the input string s in place, replacing escape sequences with their actual character values.

Parameters

[in,out]

s

Pointer to the null-terminated string to be processed. The string will be modified in place.

Note

• Ensure that the input string s has sufficient buffer space to accommodate the modified characters, especially when dealing with octal escape sequences that may reduce the overall string length.

Warning

• The function does not perform bounds checking. Ensure that the input string is properly null-terminated to prevent undefined behavior.
• Unrecognized escape sequences (other than the ones specified) will result in the backslash being retained in the string.

This function validates whether the provided name adheres to the naming conventions and rules defined by the current name validity flags for the specified class (e.g., parameter, column). It ensures that the name contains only allowed characters and follows the required structure.

Parameters

[in]	name	The name to be validated. Must be a NULL-terminated string.
[in]	class	The class type to which the name belongs (e.g., "parameter", "column"). This is used primarily for error reporting.

Returns

• 1 if the name is valid for the specified class.
• 0 if the name is invalid, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The name must be a valid NULL-terminated string.
• The class must be a valid NULL-terminated string representing a recognized class type.

Postcondition

• If the name is invalid, an error message is recorded detailing the reason.

Note

• The validation rules are influenced by the current name validity flags set via SDDS_SetNameValidityFlags.
• Environment variables or other configuration settings may also affect name validity.

Warning

• Using names that do not adhere to the validation rules will result in parameters or columns not being defined.
• Ensure that all names meet the required standards before attempting to define dataset elements.

SDDS_LockFile()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_LockFile ( FILE * fp, const char * filename, const char * caller )

extern

Attempts to lock a specified file.

This function tries to acquire a lock on the provided file using the given file pointer. If file locking is enabled via the F_TEST and ALLOW_FILE_LOCKING macros, it first tests whether the file can be locked and then attempts to establish an exclusive lock. If locking fails at any step, an error message is set, and the function returns 0.

If file locking is not enabled, the function assumes that the file is not locked and returns 1.

Parameters

[in]	fp	Pointer to the open FILE stream associated with the file to be locked.
[in]	filename	The path to the file to be locked. Used primarily for error messaging.
[in]	caller	A string identifying the caller or the context in which the lock is being attempted. This is used in error messages to provide more information about the lock attempt.

Returns

• 1 if the file lock is successfully acquired or if file locking is not enabled.
• 0 if the file is already locked or if locking fails for another reason.

Note

The function relies on the lockf system call for file locking, which may not be supported on all platforms.

Warning

Proper error handling should be implemented by the caller to handle cases where file locking fails.

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_Logic ( int32_t previous, int32_t match, uint32_t logic )

extern

Applies logical operations to determine the new state of a row flag based on previous and current match conditions.

This function evaluates logical conditions between a previous flag (previous) and a current match flag (match) based on the provided logic flags. It supports various logical operations such as AND, OR, negation of previous flags, and negation of match results.

Parameters

previous	The previous state of the row flag (typically 0 or 1).
match	The current match result to be combined with the previous flag.
logic	An unsigned integer representing logical operation flags. Supported flags include: SDDS_0_PREVIOUS: Set the previous flag to 0. SDDS_1_PREVIOUS: Set the previous flag to 1. SDDS_NEGATE_PREVIOUS: Negate the previous flag. SDDS_NEGATE_MATCH: Negate the current match result. SDDS_AND: Perform a logical AND between the previous flag and the match result. SDDS_OR: Perform a logical OR between the previous flag and the match result. SDDS_NEGATE_EXPRESSION: Negate the final logical expression result.

Returns

Returns the result of the logical operation as an integer (0 or 1).

Return values

1	Indicates that the final logical condition evaluates to true.
0	Indicates that the final logical condition evaluates to false.

Note

• Multiple logic flags can be combined using bitwise OR to perform complex logical operations.
• The order of operations follows the precedence defined within the function implementation.

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_MakePointerArray ( void * data, int32_t type, int32_t dimensions, int32_t * dimension )

extern

Creates a multi-dimensional pointer array from a contiguous data block.

This function generates a multi-dimensional pointer array that maps to a contiguous block of data. It supports arrays with multiple dimensions by recursively creating pointer layers. The dimensions parameter specifies the number of dimensions, and the dimension array provides the size for each dimension.

Parameters

[in]	data	Pointer to the contiguous data block to be mapped.
[in]	type	The SDDS data type of the elements in the data block. Must be one of the SDDS type constants: SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_LONG64 SDDS_ULONG64 SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_CHARACTER
[in]	dimensions	The number of dimensions for the pointer array.
[in]	dimension	An array specifying the size of each dimension.

Returns

• Returns a pointer to the newly created multi-dimensional pointer array on success.
• Returns NULL if the input data is NULL, the dimension array is invalid, the type is unknown, or memory allocation fails.

Note

• The function uses SDDS_MakePointerArrayRecursively to handle multi-dimensional allocations.
• The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated pointer array using SDDS_FreePointerArray.

SDDS_MatchArrays()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_MatchArrays ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char *** nameReturn, int32_t matchMode, int32_t typeMode, ... )

extern

Matches and retrieves array names from an SDDS dataset based on specified criteria.

This function selects arrays from the provided SDDS dataset according to the specified matching mode and type mode. It supports various calling conventions depending on the matching criteria.

The function supports the following matching modes:

• SDDS_NAME_ARRAY:
  • Parameters: int32_t n_entries, char **name
  • Description: Matches arrays whose names are present in the provided array.
• SDDS_NAMES_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *names
  • Description: Matches arrays whose names are specified in a single comma-separated string.
• SDDS_NAME_STRINGS:
  • Parameters: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL
  • Description: Matches arrays whose names are specified as individual string arguments, terminated by a NULL pointer.
• SDDS_MATCH_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *name, int32_t logic_mode
  • Description: Matches arrays based on a wildcard pattern provided in name, using the specified logical mode.
• SDDS_MATCH_EXCLUDE_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *name, char *exclude, int32_t logic_mode
  • Description: Matches arrays based on a wildcard pattern provided in name, excluding those that match the exclude pattern, using the specified logical mode.

Additionally, the typeMode parameter allows filtering based on array types, such as numeric, floating, or integer types.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure containing the dataset.
[out]	nameReturn	Pointer to a char** that will be allocated and populated with the names of the matched arrays. The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory.
[in]	matchMode	Specifies the matching mode (e.g., SDDS_NAME_ARRAY, SDDS_NAMES_STRING, etc.).
[in]	typeMode	Specifies the type matching mode (e.g., FIND_SPECIFIED_TYPE, FIND_NUMERIC_TYPE, FIND_FLOATING_TYPE, FIND_INTEGER_TYPE).
[in]	...	Variable arguments depending on matchMode: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: int32_t n_entries, char **name SDDS_NAMES_STRING: char *names SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL SDDS_MATCH_STRING: char *name, int32_t logic_mode SDDS_MATCH_EXCLUDE_STRING: char *name, char *exclude, int32_t logic_mode

Returns

• Returns the number of matched arrays on success.
• Returns -1 if an error occurs (e.g., invalid parameters, memory allocation failure).

Note

• The function internally manages memory for the matching process and allocates memory for nameReturn, which must be freed by the caller using appropriate memory deallocation functions.
• The dataset must be properly initialized and contain a valid layout before calling this function.

Warning

• Ensure that the variable arguments match the expected parameters for the specified matchMode.
• The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for nameReturn to avoid memory leaks.

SDDS_MatchColumns()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_MatchColumns ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char *** nameReturn, int32_t matchMode, int32_t typeMode, ... )

extern

Matches and retrieves column names from an SDDS dataset based on specified criteria.

This function selects columns from the provided SDDS dataset according to the specified matching mode and type mode. It supports various calling conventions depending on the matching criteria.

The function supports the following matching modes:

• SDDS_NAME_ARRAY:
  • Parameters: int32_t n_entries, char **name
  • Description: Matches columns whose names are present in the provided array.
• SDDS_NAMES_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *names
  • Description: Matches columns whose names are specified in a single comma-separated string.
• SDDS_NAME_STRINGS:
  • Parameters: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL
  • Description: Matches columns whose names are specified as individual string arguments, terminated by a NULL pointer.
• SDDS_MATCH_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *name, int32_t logic_mode
  • Description: Matches columns based on a wildcard pattern provided in name, using the specified logical mode.
• SDDS_MATCH_EXCLUDE_STRING:
  • Parameters: char *name, char *exclude, int32_t logic_mode
  • Description: Matches columns based on a wildcard pattern provided in name, excluding those that match the exclude pattern, using the specified logical mode.

Additionally, the typeMode parameter allows filtering based on column types, such as numeric, floating, or integer types.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure containing the dataset.
[out]	nameReturn	Pointer to a char** that will be allocated and populated with the names of the matched columns. The caller is responsible for freeing the allocated memory.
[in]	matchMode	Specifies the matching mode (e.g., SDDS_NAME_ARRAY, SDDS_NAMES_STRING, etc.).
[in]	typeMode	Specifies the type matching mode (e.g., FIND_SPECIFIED_TYPE, FIND_NUMERIC_TYPE, FIND_FLOATING_TYPE, FIND_INTEGER_TYPE).
[in]	...	Variable arguments depending on matchMode: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: int32_t n_entries, char **name SDDS_NAMES_STRING: char *names SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL SDDS_MATCH_STRING: char *name, int32_t logic_mode SDDS_MATCH_EXCLUDE_STRING: char *name, char *exclude, int32_t logic_mode

Returns

• Returns the number of matched columns on success.
• Returns -1 if an error occurs (e.g., invalid parameters, memory allocation failure).

Note

• The function internally manages memory for the matching process and allocates memory for nameReturn, which must be freed by the caller using appropriate memory deallocation functions.
• The dataset must be properly initialized and contain a valid layout before calling this function.

Warning

• Ensure that the variable arguments match the expected parameters for the specified matchMode.
• The caller is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for nameReturn to avoid memory leaks.

SDDS_MatchRowsOfInterest()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int64_t SDDS_MatchRowsOfInterest ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * selection_column, char * label_to_match, int32_t logic )

extern

Matches and marks rows of interest in an SDDS dataset based on label matching.

This function marks rows in the provided SDDS dataset as "of interest" by matching labels in a specified column against a target label. It supports both direct and indirect matching, as well as case-sensitive and case-insensitive comparisons, based on the provided logic flags.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
selection_column	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column used for label matching. This column must be of string or character type.
label_to_match	A null-terminated string specifying the label to match against the entries in the selection column. If logic includes SDDS_INDIRECT_MATCH, this parameter is treated as the name of another column used for indirect matching.
logic	An integer representing logical operation flags. Supported flags include: SDDS_NOCASE_COMPARE: Perform case-insensitive comparison. SDDS_INDIRECT_MATCH: Use indirect matching via another column.

Returns

On success, returns the number of rows marked as "of interest". On failure, returns -1 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

-1	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized selection column, type mismatch, unrecognized indirect column).
Non-negative	Integer representing the count of rows marked as "of interest".

Note

• The selection column must exist and be of string or character type.
• If using indirect matching (SDDS_INDIRECT_MATCH), the indirect column must exist and be of the same type as the selection column.

SDDS_NumberOfErrors()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_NumberOfErrors ( void )

extern

Retrieves the number of errors recorded by SDDS library routines.

This function returns the total number of errors that have been recorded by the SDDS library since the last invocation of SDDS_PrintErrors.

Returns

SDDS_PadToLength()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_PadToLength ( char * string, int32_t length )

extern

Pads a string with spaces to reach a specified length.

This function appends space characters to the end of the input string string until it reaches the desired length. If the original string is longer than the specified length, the function returns an error without modifying the string.

Parameters

[in,out]	string	Pointer to the null-terminated string to be padded.
[in]	length	The target length for the string after padding.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful padding. Returns 0 if the input string is NULL or if the original string length exceeds the specified length.

Note

The function ensures that the padded string is null-terminated. The caller must ensure that the buffer string has sufficient space to accommodate the additional padding.

SDDS_Parallel_InitializeOutput()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_Parallel_InitializeOutput ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, const char * description, const char * contents, const char * filename )

extern

Initializes the SDDS output dataset for parallel processing.

This function configures the SDDS dataset for parallel output operations. It sets the dataset's description, contents, and filename, ensuring that the output is in binary mode as parallel processing with compressed files is not supported. The function initializes necessary structures and prepares the dataset for efficient parallel data writing.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to be initialized for parallel output.
[in]	description	A string containing the description of the dataset. Pass NULL if no description is desired.
[in]	contents	A string detailing the contents of the dataset. Pass NULL if no contents are desired.
[in]	filename	The name of the file to which the dataset will be written. If NULL, the dataset will be written to standard output.

Returns

• 1 on successful initialization.
• 0 if an error occurred during initialization. In this case, an error message is set internally.

Precondition

• The SDDS_dataset pointer must be valid and point to a properly allocated SDDS_DATASET structure.
• The dataset memory should have been zeroed prior to calling this function (handled externally).

Postcondition

• The dataset is configured for parallel binary output.
• The dataset's internal state reflects the initialization status.

Note

• Parallel output does not support compressed file formats.
• The output mode is set to binary regardless of the specified data mode.
• Environment variable SDDS_OUTPUT_ENDIANESS can be set to "big" or "little" to declare the byte order.

Warning

• Attempting to use parallel initialization with compressed files will result in an error.
• Ensure that no other processes are accessing the file simultaneously to prevent initialization failures.

SDDS_PrintCheckText()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_PrintCheckText ( FILE * fp, char * name, char * units, int32_t type, char * class_name, int32_t error_code )

extern

Prints detailed error messages related to SDDS entity checks.

This function outputs error messages to the specified file pointer based on the provided error code. It is primarily used by functions like SDDS_CheckColumn, SDDS_CheckParameter, and SDDS_CheckArray to report issues during validation checks.

Parameters

[in]	fp	File pointer where the error messages will be printed. Typically, this is stderr.
[in]	name	The name of the SDDS entity (e.g., column, parameter, array) being checked.
[in]	units	The expected units of the SDDS entity. May be NULL if units are not relevant.
[in]	type	The expected type code of the SDDS entity. This can be a specific type or a general category like SDDS_ANY_NUMERIC_TYPE.
[in]	class_name	A string representing the class of the SDDS entity (e.g., "column", "parameter", "array").
[in]	error_code	The specific error code indicating the type of error encountered. Valid values include: SDDS_CHECK_OKAY SDDS_CHECK_NONEXISTENT SDDS_CHECK_WRONGTYPE SDDS_CHECK_WRONGUNITS

Returns

Returns the same error_code that was passed as an argument.

Note

• This function assumes that registeredProgramName is a globally accessible string containing the name of the program for contextual error messages.
• Ensure that fp, name, and class_name are not NULL to prevent undefined behavior.

Warning

• Passing invalid error_code values that are not handled in the switch statement will result in a generic error message being printed to stderr.

SDDS_PrintErrors()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_PrintErrors ( FILE * fp, int32_t mode )

extern

Prints recorded error messages to a specified file stream.

This function outputs the errors that have been recorded by SDDS library routines to the given file stream. Depending on the mode parameter, it can print a single error, all recorded errors, and optionally terminate the program after printing.

Parameters

[in]	fp	Pointer to the FILE stream where errors will be printed. Typically stderr.
[in]	mode	Flags controlling the error printing behavior: 0: Print only the first recorded error. SDDS_VERBOSE_PrintErrors: Print all recorded errors. SDDS_EXIT_PrintErrors: After printing errors, terminate the program by calling exit(1).

Note

After printing, the error stack is cleared. If mode includes SDDS_EXIT_PrintErrors, the program will terminate.

SDDS_ReadNewBinaryRows()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ReadNewBinaryRows ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Reads new binary rows from the SDDS dataset.

This function updates the SDDS dataset by reading any new rows that have been added to the underlying file since the last read operation. It verifies that the dataset is in a compatible binary format and ensures that byte order and compression settings are supported. If the number of rows in the file exceeds the currently allocated rows in memory, the function expands the dataset's internal storage to accommodate the new rows.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to read from.

Returns

int32_t Returns the number of new rows successfully read on success, or -1 if an error occurred.

Return values

>0	The number of new rows read and added to the dataset.
-1	An error occurred during the read operation, such as unsupported file format, I/O errors, or memory allocation failures.

Note

This function does not support MPI parallel I/O, ASCII files, column-major order binary files, non-native byte orders, or compressed files (gzip or lzma). Attempts to use these features will result in an error.

SDDS_ReadNonNativeBinaryArrays()

int32_t SDDS_ReadNonNativeBinaryArrays

(

SDDS_DATASET *

SDDS_dataset

)

Reads non-native endian binary arrays from an SDDS dataset.

This function iterates through all array definitions in the specified SDDS dataset and reads their binary data from the underlying file. It handles various data types, including short, unsigned short, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, float, double, and long double. For string arrays, it reads each string individually, ensuring proper memory allocation and byte order conversion. The function supports different compression formats, including uncompressed, LZMA-compressed, and GZIP-compressed files. After reading, it swaps the endianness of the array data to match the system's native byte order.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to read from.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful reading and byte-swapping of all arrays, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	All non-native endian arrays were successfully read and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the read or byte-swapping process, such as I/O failures, memory allocation issues, or corrupted array definitions.

Note

This function modifies the dataset's array data in place. It should be called after successfully opening and preparing the dataset for reading. Ensure that the dataset structure is properly initialized to prevent undefined behavior.

int32_t SDDS_ReadNonNativeBinaryRow	(	SDDS_DATASET *	SDDS_dataset,
		int64_t	row,
		int32_t	skip )

Reads a non-native endian binary row from an SDDS dataset.

This function reads a single row of data from the specified SDDS dataset, handling data with non-native endianness. It iterates through all column definitions and reads each column's data for the given row. For string columns, it ensures proper memory allocation and byte order conversion. For other data types, it reads the binary data and performs necessary byte swapping. The function supports different compression formats, including uncompressed, LZMA-compressed, and GZIP-compressed files.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to read from.
[in]	row	The index of the row to read.
[in]	skip	If non-zero, the function will skip reading the row data, useful for sparse reading.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful reading of the row, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	The row was successfully read and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the read or byte-swapping process, such as I/O failures or corrupted data.

Note

This function modifies the dataset's data in place. It should be called after successfully opening and preparing the dataset for reading. Ensure that the dataset structure is properly initialized to prevent undefined behavior.

SDDS_ReadNonNativeBinaryString()

char * SDDS_ReadNonNativeBinaryString	(	FILE *	fp,
		SDDS_FILEBUFFER *	fBuffer,
		int32_t	skip )

Reads a non-native endian binary string from a file.

This function reads a binary string from the specified file pointer, handling non-native endianness. It first reads the length of the string, swaps its byte order if necessary, allocates memory for the string, reads the string data, and null-terminates it.

Parameters

[in]	fp	Pointer to the FILE from which to read the string.
[in,out]	fBuffer	Pointer to the SDDS_FILEBUFFER structure used for buffered reading.
[in]	skip	If non-zero, the function will skip reading the string data, useful for sparse reading.

Returns

char* Returns a pointer to the read string on success, or NULL if an error occurred.

Return values

Non-NULL	Pointer to the newly allocated string.
NULL	An error occurred during reading or memory allocation.

Note

The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string to prevent memory leaks.

SDDS_ReadRecoveryPossible()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ReadRecoveryPossible ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Checks if any data in an SDDS page was recovered after an error was detected.

This function inspects the SDDS dataset to determine if any data recovery was possible following an error during data reading. It resets the recovery flag after checking.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.

Returns

• Returns 1 if recovery was possible.
• Returns 0 if no recovery was performed or if recovery was not possible.

The function performs the following steps:

• Retrieves the current state of the readRecoveryPossible flag from the dataset.
• Resets the readRecoveryPossible flag to 0.
• Returns the original state of the readRecoveryPossible flag.

Note

• This function is typically used after attempting to recover from a read error to verify if any partial data was successfully recovered.
• The recovery flag is automatically managed by other functions within the SDDS library.

SDDS_Realloc()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void * SDDS_Realloc ( void * old_ptr, size_t new_size )

extern

Reallocates memory to a new size.

This function extends the standard realloc functionality by zero-initializing any newly allocated memory beyond the original size. It ensures that memory is consistently reallocated and initialized across different build configurations.

Parameters

[in]	old_ptr	Pointer to the original memory block. If NULL, the function behaves like SDDS_Malloc.
[in]	new_size	New size in bytes for the memory block.

Returns

Pointer to the reallocated memory block with the new size. If new_size is less than or equal to zero, a minimum of 4 bytes is allocated. Returns NULL if memory reallocation fails.

SDDS_ReconnectFile()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ReconnectFile ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Reconnects the SDDS dataset to its previously associated file.

This function re-establishes the connection between the SDDS dataset and the file it was previously linked to before being disconnected. It opens the file in read/write mode, seeks to the appropriate position, and updates the dataset's internal state to reflect that it is connected.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to be reconnected.

Returns

• 1 on successful reconnection.
• 0 if an error occurred during reconnection. In this case, an error message is set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must have been previously disconnected using SDDS_DisconnectFile.
• The dataset must have a valid filename set.

Note

• Reconnection will fail if the file is not accessible or if the dataset was not properly disconnected.

Warning

• Ensure that the file has not been modified externally in a way that could disrupt the dataset's state.

SDDS_ReconnectInputFile()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ReconnectInputFile ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, long position )

extern

Reconnects the input file for the SDDS dataset at a specified position.

This function re-establishes the connection between the SDDS dataset and its input file, positioning the file pointer at the specified byte offset. This allows the dataset to resume reading from a specific location within the input file.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to reconnect.
[in]	position	The byte offset position in the input file where reconnection should occur.

Returns

• 1 on successful reconnection.
• 0 on failure. In this case, an internal error message is set.

Precondition

• The dataset must have been previously disconnected using SDDS_DisconnectInputFile.
• The dataset must have a valid filename set.
• The specified position must be valid within the input file.

Note

• Reconnection will fail if the input file is compressed (gzip, lzma, xz).
• The function seeks to the specified position after opening the file.

Warning

• Ensure that the specified position does not disrupt the dataset's data integrity.

SDDS_ScanData()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ScanData ( char * string, int32_t type, int32_t field_length, void * data, int64_t index, int32_t is_parameter )

extern

Scans a string and saves the parsed value into a data pointer according to the specified data type.

This function extracts data from a string and stores it in the provided data pointer. It handles various SDDS data types, including integers, floating-point numbers, strings, and characters. The function supports both fixed-field and variable-field formats and can process parameters and column data.

Parameters

string	Pointer to the input string containing the data to be scanned.
type	The SDDS data type to interpret the scanned data as. Valid types include: SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_LONG64 SDDS_ULONG64 SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_STRING SDDS_CHARACTER
field_length	Field length for fixed-field formats. Set to 0 for variable-field formats. If negative, indicates left-padding should be removed.
data	Void pointer to the data storage where the scanned value will be saved. Must be pre-allocated and appropriate for the specified data type.
index	The index within the data array where the value should be stored.
is_parameter	Set to 1 if the data is from an SDDS parameter; set to 0 for column data.

Returns

Returns 1 on success, or 0 on error. If an error occurs, an error message is set via SDDS_SetError().

Note

The function allocates a buffer internally to process the input string. It handles escape sequences for strings and characters using SDDS_InterpretEscapes(). For string data types, the function manages memory allocation for the data array elements.

extern

Scans a string and saves the parsed value into a data pointer, optimized for long strings.

This function is similar to SDDS_ScanData but optimized for very long strings. It modifies the input string by advancing the string pointer and reducing its length after each call, which can improve performance when processing large amounts of data.

Parameters

string	Pointer to the input string containing the data to be scanned.
pstring	Pointer to the string pointer; this is updated to point to the next unread character.
strlength	Pointer to the length of the string; this is updated as the string is consumed.
type	The SDDS data type to interpret the scanned data as. Valid types include: SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_LONG64 SDDS_ULONG64 SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_STRING SDDS_CHARACTER
field_length	Field length for fixed-field formats. Set to 0 for variable-field formats. If negative, indicates left-padding should be removed.
data	Void pointer to the data storage where the scanned value will be saved. Must be pre-allocated and appropriate for the specified data type.
index	The index within the data array where the value should be stored.
is_parameter	Set to 1 if the data is from an SDDS parameter; set to 0 for column data.

Returns

Returns 1 on success, or 0 on error. If an error occurs, an error message is set via SDDS_SetError().

Note

This function modifies the input string by advancing the pointer and reducing the length, which can lead to the original string being altered after each call. It is more efficient for processing very long strings compared to SDDS_ScanData.

SDDS_SetArrayUnitsConversion()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetArrayUnitsConversion ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * array_name, char * new_units, char * old_units, double factor )

extern

Sets unit conversions for a specified array in an SDDS dataset.

This function updates the units of the specified array within the SDDS dataset and applies a conversion factor to all its elements if the dataset has already been read (i.e., pages_read > 0). The function ensures that the new units are consistent with the old units if provided.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
array_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the array to update.
new_units	A null-terminated string specifying the new units to assign to the array. This parameter must not be NULL.
old_units	A null-terminated string specifying the expected current units of the array. If NULL, the function does not verify the existing units.
factor	A double representing the conversion factor to apply to each element of the array. Each element will be multiplied by this factor.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful unit conversion and update. On failure, returns 0 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

1	Indicates that the unit conversion was successfully applied.
0	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized array name, type undefined, memory allocation failure).

Note

• The new_units parameter must not be NULL. Passing NULL will result in an error.
• If the dataset has not been read yet (pages_read == 0), the conversion factor is stored but not applied immediately.
• The function handles various data types, ensuring that the conversion factor is appropriately applied based on the array's type.

SDDS_SetColumn()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetColumn ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, void * data, int64_t rows, ... )

extern

Sets the values for one data column in the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function assigns data to a specified column within the current data table of the given SDDS dataset. The column can be identified either by its index or by its name. The mode parameter determines how the column is identified. The function ensures that the number of rows in the new column matches the existing data table.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	Bitwise flags that determine how the column is identified. Valid flags include: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify the column by its index. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify the column by its name.
data	Pointer to an array of data to be assigned to the column. The elements of the array must be of the same type as the column type.
rows	The number of rows in the column. This should match the number of rows in the existing data table.
...	Variable arguments specifying either the column index or column name, depending on the mode parameter: If mode includes SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Provide an int32_t index. If mode includes SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Provide a char* name.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful assignment of the column data. On failure, returns 0 and records an appropriate error message.

Note

The function ensures that the number of rows in the new column matches the existing data table. If the data type of the column is SDDS_STRING, it handles memory allocation and copying of strings appropriately.

SDDS_SetColumnFlags()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetColumnFlags ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t column_flag_value )

extern

Sets the acceptance flags for all columns in the current data table of a data set.

This function initializes the acceptance flags for each column. A non-zero flag indicates that the column is "of interest" and should be considered in subsequent operations, while a zero flag marks the column for rejection.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
column_flag_value	Integer value to assign to all column flags. Non-zero value: Marks columns as accepted ("of interest"). Zero value: Marks columns as rejected.

Returns

• 1 on successful update of column flags.
• 0 on failure, with an error message recorded (e.g., memory allocation failure).

Note

This function overwrites any existing column flags with the specified column_flag_value. It also updates the column_order array accordingly.

SDDS_SetColumnFromDoubles()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetColumnFromDoubles ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, double * data, int64_t rows, ... )

extern

Sets the values for a single data column using double-precision floating-point numbers.

This function assigns data to a specified column within the current data table of the given SDDS dataset. The column can be identified either by its index or by its name, based on the provided mode. The data provided must be in the form of double-precision floating-point numbers (double). If the target column is of a different numeric type, the function will perform the necessary type casting. For string columns, the function converts the double values to strings with appropriate formatting.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	Bitwise flags that determine how the column is identified. Valid flags include: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify the column by its index. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify the column by its name.

Mode Requirements:

• Exactly one of SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX or SDDS_SET_BY_NAME must be set.

Syntax Based on Mode Combination:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: int32_t SDDS_SetColumnFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, double *data, int64_t rows, int32_t index)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: int32_t SDDS_SetColumnFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, double *data, int64_t rows, char *name)

Parameters

data	Pointer to an array of double-precision floating-point data to be assigned to the column. The array should contain at least rows elements.
rows	The number of rows (elements) in the column to be set. Must not exceed the allocated memory for the dataset.
...	Variable arguments specifying either the column index (int32_t) or column name (char *), depending on the mode.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful assignment of the column data. On failure, returns 0 and records an appropriate error message using SDDS_SetError.

Note

• If the target column is of type SDDS_STRING, the function converts each double value to a string with a precision of up to 15 significant digits.
• The function ensures that the number of rows in the new column matches the existing data table.
• It is required to call SDDS_StartPage before setting column values.

SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets the acceptance flags for columns based on specified naming criteria.

This function allows modifying column acceptance flags using various methods, including specifying column names directly or using pattern matching.

Supported modes:

• SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: Provide an array of column names to mark as "of interest".
• SDDS_NAMES_STRING: Provide a single string containing comma-separated column names.
• SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: Provide multiple individual column name strings, terminated by NULL.
• SDDS_MATCH_STRING: Provide a pattern string and a logic mode to match column names.

A non-zero flag indicates that a column is "of interest", while a zero flag marks it for rejection.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	Operation mode determining how columns are selected. Possible values: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: c SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_NAME_ARRAY, int32_t n_entries, char **nameArray); SDDS_NAMES_STRING: c SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_NAMES_STRING, char *names); SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: c SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_NAME_STRINGS, char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL); SDDS_MATCH_STRING: c SDDS_SetColumnsOfInterest(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, SDDS_MATCH_STRING, char *pattern, int32_t logic_mode);
...	Variable arguments based on the selected mode: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: int32_t n_entries: Number of column names in the array. char **nameArray: Array of column name strings. SDDS_NAMES_STRING: char *names: Comma-separated string of column names. SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL: Individual column name strings terminated by NULL. SDDS_MATCH_STRING: char *pattern: Pattern string to match column names (supports wildcards). int32_t logic_mode: Logic mode for matching (e.g., AND, OR).

Returns

• 1 on successful update of column flags.
• 0 on failure, with an error message recorded (e.g., invalid mode, memory issues, unrecognized column names).

Note

• When using SDDS_MATCH_STRING, the pattern may include wildcards to match multiple column names.
• Ensure that column names provided exist within the dataset to avoid errors.

SDDS_SetColumnUnitsConversion()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetColumnUnitsConversion ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * column_name, char * new_units, char * old_units, double factor )

extern

Sets unit conversions for a specified column in an SDDS dataset.

This function updates the units of the specified column within the SDDS dataset and applies a conversion factor to all its elements if the dataset has already been read (i.e., pages_read > 0). The function ensures that the new units are consistent with the old units if provided.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
column_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column to update.
new_units	A null-terminated string specifying the new units to assign to the column. This parameter must not be NULL.
old_units	A null-terminated string specifying the expected current units of the column. If NULL, the function does not verify the existing units.
factor	A double representing the conversion factor to apply to each element of the column. Each element will be multiplied by this factor.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful unit conversion and update. On failure, returns 0 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

1	Indicates that the unit conversion was successfully applied.
0	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized column name, type undefined, memory allocation failure).

Note

• The new_units parameter must not be NULL. Passing NULL will result in an error.
• If the dataset has not been read yet (pages_read == 0), the conversion factor is stored but not applied immediately.
• The function handles various data types, ensuring that the conversion factor is appropriately applied based on the column's type.

SDDS_SetDataMode()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetDataMode ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t newmode )

extern

Sets the data mode (ASCII or Binary) for the SDDS dataset.

This function configures the data mode of the SDDS dataset to either ASCII or Binary. When setting to Binary mode with byte swapping (using -SDDS_BINARY), it adjusts the byte order based on the machine's endianness to ensure compatibility.

Parameters

[in]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset whose data mode is to be set.
[in]	newmode	The desired data mode. Valid values are: SDDS_ASCII for ASCII mode. SDDS_BINARY for Binary mode. -SDDS_BINARY for Binary mode with byte swapping (for compatibility with systems like the sddsendian program).

Returns

• 1 on successful mode change.
• 0 if the mode is invalid, if the dataset is NULL, or if the dataset has already been written to and the mode cannot be changed.

Note

• Changing the data mode is only permitted if no data has been written to the dataset (i.e., page_number is 0 and n_rows_written is 0).
• When using -SDDS_BINARY, the function automatically determines the appropriate byte order based on the machine's endianness.

Warning

• Attempting to change the data mode after writing data to the dataset will result in an error.
• Ensure that the newmode parameter is correctly specified to prevent unintended behavior.

SDDS_SetDefaultIOBufferSize()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetDefaultIOBufferSize ( int32_t newValue )

extern

Sets the default I/O buffer size used for file operations.

This function updates the global defaultIOBufferSize variable, which determines the size of the I/O buffer used for file read/write operations. The initial default is SDDS_FILEBUFFER_SIZE, which is 262144 bytes.

Parameters

newValue

The new default I/O buffer size in bytes. If newValue is negative, the function returns the current buffer size without changing it. If newValue is between 0 and 128 (inclusive), it is treated as 0, effectively disabling buffering.

Returns

The previous default I/O buffer size if newValue is greater than or equal to 0; otherwise, returns the current default buffer size without changing it.

The types of these arguments depend on the data_type: For integer types (SDDS_SHORT, SDDS_USHORT, SDDS_LONG, SDDS_ULONG, SDDS_LONG64, SDDS_ULONG64): First argument: initial value (int, unsigned int, int32_t, uint32_t, int64_t, uint64_t) Second argument: increment value (int, unsigned int, int32_t, uint32_t, int64_t, uint64_t) For floating-point types (SDDS_FLOAT, SDDS_DOUBLE, SDDS_LONGDOUBLE): First argument: initial value (double for float and double, long double for SDDS_LONGDOUBLE) Second argument: increment value (double for float and double, long double for SDDS_LONGDOUBLE) For SDDS_CHARACTER: First argument: initial value (char) Second argument: increment value (short)

Returns

Returns 1 on successful memory initialization. Returns 0 if an unknown or invalid data_type is provided.

Note

The function uses variable arguments to accept the starting and increment values. The caller must ensure that the correct types are provided based on the data_type parameter.

SDDS_SetNameValidityFlags()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetNameValidityFlags ( uint32_t flags )

extern

Sets the validity flags for parameter and column names in the SDDS dataset.

This function allows the user to configure the rules for validating names of parameters and columns within the SDDS dataset. The validity flags determine the set of allowed characters and naming conventions.

Parameters

[in]

flags

A bitmask representing the desired name validity flags. Possible flags include: SDDS_ALLOW_ANY_NAME: Allows any name without restrictions. SDDS_ALLOW_V15_NAME: Enables compatibility with SDDS version 1.5 naming conventions. Additional flags as defined in the SDDS library.

Returns

• The previous name validity flags before the update.

Precondition

• The function can be called at any time before defining parameters or columns to influence name validation.

Postcondition

• The name validity flags are updated to reflect the specified rules.

Note

• Changing name validity flags affects how subsequent parameter and column names are validated.
• It is recommended to set the desired validity flags before defining any dataset elements to avoid validation errors.

Warning

• Improperly setting validity flags may lead to unintended acceptance or rejection of valid or invalid names.
• Ensure that the flags are set according to the desired naming conventions for your dataset.

SDDS_SetNoRowCounts()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetNoRowCounts ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t value )

extern

Sets the flag to enable or disable row counts in the SDDS dataset.

This function configures the SDDS dataset to either include or exclude row counts in the output. Row counts provide metadata about the number of rows written, which can be useful for data integrity and validation. Disabling row counts can improve performance when such metadata is unnecessary.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure to be configured.
[in]	value	The flag value to set: 0: Enable row counts (default behavior). Non-zero: Disable row counts.

Returns

• 1 on successful configuration.
• 0 if an error occurred (e.g., attempting to change the flag after the layout has been written).

Precondition

• The SDDS_dataset must be initialized and not have written the layout yet.

Postcondition

• The dataset's configuration reflects the specified row count setting.

Note

• Changing the row count setting affects how data rows are managed and stored in the output file.

Warning

• This function cannot be called after the dataset layout has been written to the file or if the dataset is in read mode.
• Disabling row counts may complicate data validation and integrity checks.

SDDS_SetParameter()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetParameter ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets the value of a single parameter in the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function assigns a value to a specified parameter in the current data table of the given SDDS dataset. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_StartPage to initialize the table. The parameter to be set can be identified either by its index or by its name. The value can be passed either by value or by reference, depending on the specified mode.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	A bitwise combination of the following constants: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify the parameter by its index. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify the parameter by its name. SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: Pass the parameter value by value. SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: Pass the parameter value by reference.

Mode Requirements:

• Exactly one of SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX or SDDS_SET_BY_NAME must be set.
• Exactly one of SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE or SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE must be set.

Syntax Based on Mode Combination:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameter(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index, value)
• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameter(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index, void *data)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameter(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name, value)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameter(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name, void *data)

Note: For parameters of type SDDS_STRING, passing by value means passing a char *, whereas passing by reference means passing a char **.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful assignment of the parameter value. On failure, returns 0 and records an appropriate error message.

SDDS_SetParameters()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetParameters ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets the values of one or more parameters for the current data table in an SDDS dataset.

This function assigns values to parameters in the current data table of the specified SDDS dataset. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_StartPage to initialize the table. The function can be called multiple times to set parameters for different tables, but SDDS_WriteTable should be used to write each table to disk.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	A bitwise combination of the following constants: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Specify parameters by their index. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Specify parameters by their name. SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: Pass parameter values by value. SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: Pass parameter values by reference.

Exactly one of SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX or SDDS_SET_BY_NAME must be set to indicate how parameters are identified. Additionally, exactly one of SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE or SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE must be set to indicate how parameter values are provided.

The syntax for the four possible mode combinations is as follows:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameters(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index1, value1, int32_t index2, value2, ..., -1)
• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameters(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index1, void *data1, int32_t index2, void *data2, ..., -1)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameters(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name1, value1, char *name2, value2, ..., NULL)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParameters(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name1, void *data1, char *name2, void *data2, ..., NULL)

Note: For parameters of type SDDS_STRING, passing by value means passing a char *, whereas passing by reference means passing a char **.

Returns

Returns 1 on success. On failure, returns 0 and records an error message.

SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets the values of one or more parameters in the current data table of an SDDS dataset using double-precision floating-point numbers.

This function assigns double-precision floating-point values to specified parameters in the current data table of the given SDDS dataset. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_StartPage to initialize the table. Parameters can be identified either by their index or by their name. The values can be passed either by value or by reference, depending on the specified mode.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	A bitwise combination of the following constants: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify parameters by their indices. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify parameters by their names. SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: Pass parameter values by value. SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: Pass parameter values by reference.

Mode Requirements:

• Exactly one of SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX or SDDS_SET_BY_NAME must be set.
• Exactly one of SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE or SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE must be set.

Syntax Based on Mode Combination:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index, double value)
• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int32_t index, double *data)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name, double value)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetParametersFromDoubles(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, char *name, double *data)

Note: For parameters of type SDDS_STRING, setting values using this function is not supported and will result in an error.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful assignment of all specified parameter values. On failure, returns 0 and records an appropriate error message.

SDDS_SetParameterUnitsConversion()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetParameterUnitsConversion ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * parameter_name, char * new_units, char * old_units, double factor )

extern

Sets unit conversions for a specified parameter in an SDDS dataset.

This function updates the units of the specified parameter within the SDDS dataset and applies a conversion factor to its value if the dataset has already been read (i.e., pages_read > 0). The function ensures that the new units are consistent with the old units if provided.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
parameter_name	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the parameter to update.
new_units	A null-terminated string specifying the new units to assign to the parameter. This parameter must not be NULL.
old_units	A null-terminated string specifying the expected current units of the parameter. If NULL, the function does not verify the existing units.
factor	A double representing the conversion factor to apply to the parameter's value. The parameter's value will be multiplied by this factor.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful unit conversion and update. On failure, returns 0 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

1	Indicates that the unit conversion was successfully applied.
0	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized parameter name, type undefined, memory allocation failure).

Note

• The new_units parameter must not be NULL. Passing NULL will result in an error.
• If the dataset has not been read yet (pages_read == 0), the conversion factor is stored but not applied immediately.
• The function handles various data types, ensuring that the conversion factor is appropriately applied based on the parameter's type.

SDDS_SetReadRecoveryMode()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_SetReadRecoveryMode ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode )

extern

Sets the read recovery mode for an SDDS dataset.

This function configures whether read recovery is possible for the specified SDDS dataset. Enabling recovery allows the dataset to attempt to recover partial data in case of read errors.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
mode	Integer flag indicating the recovery mode: 0 to disable read recovery. 1 to enable read recovery.

The function updates the readRecoveryPossible flag within the dataset structure based on the provided mode parameter. This flag is later checked by other functions to determine whether to attempt data recovery after encountering read errors.

Note

• Enabling read recovery does not guarantee that all data can be recovered after an error.
• It is recommended to enable recovery only if partial data recovery is acceptable in your application.

SDDS_SetRowCountMode()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetRowCountMode ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, uint32_t mode )

extern

Sets the row count mode for the SDDS dataset.

This function configures how row counts are managed within the SDDS dataset. The row count mode determines whether row counts are variable, fixed, or entirely omitted during data writing. Proper configuration of row count modes can enhance data integrity and performance based on specific use cases.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	mode	The row count mode to be set. Must be one of the following: SDDS_VARIABLEROWCOUNT: Enables variable row counts, allowing the number of rows to vary. SDDS_FIXEDROWCOUNT: Sets a fixed row count mode, where the number of rows is constant. SDDS_NOROWCOUNT: Disables row counts, omitting them from the dataset.

Returns

• 1 on successful configuration of the row count mode.
• 0 on failure, with an error message set internally.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• The layout must not have been written to the file yet.

Postcondition

• The dataset's row count mode is updated according to the specified mode.

Note

• Changing the row count mode affects how row metadata is handled during data writing.
• The SDDS_FIXEDROWCOUNT mode may require specifying additional parameters such as row increment.

Warning

• Attempting to change the row count mode after the layout has been written to the file or while reading from a file will result in an error.
• Selecting an invalid row count mode will result in an error.

SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int64_t SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, char * selection_column, int32_t mode, ... )

extern

Sets the rows of interest in an SDDS dataset based on various selection criteria.

This function marks rows in the provided SDDS dataset as "of interest" based on the specified selection criteria. It supports multiple selection modes, allowing users to specify rows by an array of names, a single string containing multiple names, a variadic list of names, or by matching a specific string with logical operations.

Calling Modes:

• SDDS_NAME_ARRAY: Specify an array of names.

  SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest(&SDDS_dataset, selection_column, SDDS_NAME_ARRAY, int32_t n_entries, char **name);

• SDDS_NAMES_STRING: Provide a single string containing multiple names separated by delimiters.

  SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest(&SDDS_dataset, selection_column, SDDS_NAMES_STRING, char *names);

• SDDS_NAME_STRINGS: Pass multiple name strings, terminated by NULL.

  SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest(&SDDS_dataset, selection_column, SDDS_NAME_STRINGS, char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL);

• SDDS_MATCH_STRING: Match rows based on a single string and logical operations.

  SDDS_SetRowsOfInterest(&SDDS_dataset, selection_column, SDDS_MATCH_STRING, char *name, int32_t logic_mode);

Additionally, each of these modes has a case-insensitive variant prefixed with SDDS_CI_ (e.g., SDDS_CI_NAME_ARRAY).

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
selection_column	A null-terminated string specifying the name of the column used for row selection. This column must be of string type.
mode	An integer representing the selection mode. Supported modes include: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY SDDS_NAMES_STRING SDDS_NAME_STRINGS SDDS_MATCH_STRING SDDS_CI_NAME_ARRAY SDDS_CI_NAMES_STRING SDDS_CI_NAME_STRINGS SDDS_CI_MATCH_STRING
...	Variable arguments corresponding to the selected mode: SDDS_NAME_ARRAY and SDDS_CI_NAME_ARRAY: int32_t n_entries: Number of names. char **name: Array of name strings. SDDS_NAMES_STRING and SDDS_CI_NAMES_STRING: char *names: Single string containing multiple names separated by delimiters. SDDS_NAME_STRINGS and SDDS_CI_NAME_STRINGS: char *name1, char *name2, ..., NULL: Multiple name strings terminated by NULL. SDDS_MATCH_STRING and SDDS_CI_MATCH_STRING: char *name: String to match. int32_t logic_mode: Logical operation mode.

Returns

On success, returns the number of rows marked as "of interest". On failure, returns -1 and sets an appropriate error message.

Return values

-1	Indicates that an error occurred (e.g., invalid dataset, unrecognized selection column, memory allocation failure, unknown mode).
Non-negative	Integer representing the count of rows marked as "of interest".

Note

• The caller must ensure that the selection_column exists and is of string type in the dataset.
• For modes that allocate memory internally (e.g., SDDS_NAMES_STRING), the function handles memory management internally.

SDDS_SetRowValues()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SetRowValues ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int64_t row, ... )

extern

Sets the values of one or more columns in a specified row of the current data table of an SDDS dataset.

This function assigns values to specified columns in a particular row of the current data table within the given SDDS dataset. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_StartPage to initialize the table. Columns can be identified either by their index or by their name. The values can be passed either by value or by reference, depending on the specified mode.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
mode	A bitwise combination of the following constants: SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX: Identify columns by their indices. SDDS_SET_BY_NAME: Identify columns by their names. SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: Pass column values by value. SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: Pass column values by reference.

Mode Requirements:

• Exactly one of SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX or SDDS_SET_BY_NAME must be set.
• Exactly one of SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE or SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE must be set.

Syntax Based on Mode Combination:

• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetRowValues(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int64_t row, int32_t index, value, ..., -1)
• SDDS_SET_BY_INDEX + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetRowValues(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int64_t row, int32_t index, void *data, ..., -1)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_VALUE: int32_t SDDS_SetRowValues(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int64_t row, char *name, value, ..., NULL)
• SDDS_SET_BY_NAME + SDDS_PASS_BY_REFERENCE: int32_t SDDS_SetRowValues(SDDS_DATASET *SDDS_dataset, int32_t mode, int64_t row, char *name, void *data, ..., NULL)

Note: For columns of type SDDS_STRING, passing by value means passing a char *, whereas passing by reference means passing a char **.

Parameters

row	The row number in the data table where the column values will be set. Row numbering starts from 1.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful assignment of all specified column values. On failure, returns 0 and records an appropriate error message.

SDDS_ShortenTable()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ShortenTable ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int64_t rows )

extern

Shortens the data table in the SDDS dataset to a specified number of rows.

This function reduces the number of allocated rows in the specified SDDS dataset to the given rows count. It reallocates memory for each column's data array and the row flags, freeing existing data as necessary. All data is reset, and the number of rows is set to zero.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure whose table will be shortened.
rows	The new number of rows to allocate in the table. If rows is less than or equal to zero, it defaults to 1.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful reallocation and initialization. On failure, returns 0 and records an error message.

extern

Formats a data value of a specified type into a string buffer using an optional printf format string.

This function formats a single data value from a data array into a provided buffer. It is a wrapper for SDDS_SprintTypedValueFactor with a default scaling factor of 1.0.

Parameters

[in]	data	Pointer to the base address of the data array containing the value to be formatted.
[in]	index	The index of the item within the data array to be formatted.
[in]	type	The data type of the value, specified by one of the SDDS constants: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING
[in]	format	(Optional) NULL-terminated string specifying a printf format. If NULL, a default format is used based on the data type.
[out]	buffer	Pointer to a character array where the formatted string will be stored.
[in]	mode	Flags controlling the formatting behavior. Valid values are: 0: Default behavior. SDDS_PRINT_NOQUOTES: When formatting strings, do not enclose them in quotes.

Returns

Returns 1 on success. On failure, returns 0 and records an error message.

Note

This function uses a default scaling factor of 1.0.

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SprintTypedValueFactor ( void * data, int64_t index, int32_t type, const char * format, char * buffer, uint32_t mode, double factor )

extern

Reallocates memory to a new size and zero-initializes the additional space.

This function extends the standard realloc functionality by zero-initializing any newly allocated memory beyond the original size. It ensures that memory is consistently reallocated and initialized across different build configurations.

Parameters

[in]	data	Pointer to the base address of the data array containing the value to be formatted.
[in]	index	The index of the item within the data array to be formatted.
[in]	type	The data type of the value, specified by one of the SDDS constants: SDDS_LONGDOUBLE SDDS_DOUBLE SDDS_FLOAT SDDS_LONG SDDS_ULONG SDDS_SHORT SDDS_USHORT SDDS_CHARACTER SDDS_STRING
[in]	format	(Optional) NULL-terminated string specifying a printf format. If NULL, a default format is used based on the data type.
[out]	buffer	Pointer to a character array where the formatted string will be stored.
[in]	mode	Flags controlling the formatting behavior. Valid values are: 0: Default behavior. SDDS_PRINT_NOQUOTES: When formatting strings, do not enclose them in quotes.
[in]	factor	Scaling factor to be applied to the value before formatting. The value is multiplied by this factor.

Returns

Returns 1 on success. On failure, returns 0 and records an error message.

Note

This function handles string types by optionally enclosing them in quotes, unless SDDS_PRINT_NOQUOTES is specified in mode.

SDDS_StartPage()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_StartPage ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, int64_t expected_n_rows )

extern

Initializes an SDDS_DATASET structure in preparation for inserting data into a new table.

This function prepares the specified SDDS dataset for data insertion by initializing necessary data structures and allocating memory based on the expected number of rows. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_InitializeOutput. SDDS_StartPage can be called multiple times to begin writing additional tables within the dataset. After initializing a page, SDDS_WriteTable should be used to write the table to disk.

Parameters

SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the data set.
expected_n_rows	The expected number of rows in the data table. This value is used to preallocate memory for storing data values. If expected_n_rows is less than or equal to zero, it defaults to 1.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful initialization. On failure, returns 0 and records an error message.

SDDS_SyncDataSet()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_SyncDataSet ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Synchronizes the SDDS dataset with the disk by flushing buffered data.

This function attempts to ensure that any buffered data associated with the SDDS dataset is written to the disk using the fsync system call. However, on certain platforms such as VxWorks, Windows, Linux, and macOS, this functionality is not implemented and the function simply returns success. This behavior should be considered when relying on data synchronization across different operating systems.

Parameters

[in]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.

Returns

• 0 on success, indicating that data synchronization is either not needed or was successful.
• A negative value (e.g., -1) on failure to synchronize the data, with an error message set internally.

Note

• On unsupported platforms, the function does not perform any synchronization and returns success.
• The synchronization behavior depends on the operating system and its support for the fsync system call.

Warning

• On platforms where synchronization is not implemented, relying on this function for data integrity is not possible.
• Ensure that critical data is handled appropriately, considering the limitations of the target operating system.

SDDS_TransferAllArrayDefinitions()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_TransferAllArrayDefinitions ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_target, SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_source, uint32_t mode )

extern

Transfers all array definitions from a source dataset to a target dataset.

This function defines all arrays in the target SDDS dataset to match the array definitions in the source SDDS dataset. Currently, only mode 0 is supported, which results in an error if any array already exists in the target dataset.

Parameters

SDDS_target	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the target dataset.
SDDS_source	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the source dataset.
mode	Flags that determine how to handle existing arrays. Valid value: 0: Error if an array already exists in the target dataset.

Returns

1 on success; 0 on failure. On failure, an error message is recorded.

Note

Non-zero mode flags are not supported for array definitions.

extern

Transfers all parameter definitions from a source dataset to a target dataset.

This function defines all parameters in the target SDDS dataset to match the parameter definitions in the source SDDS dataset. It handles existing parameters based on the specified mode.

Parameters

SDDS_target	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the target dataset.
SDDS_source	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the source dataset.
mode	Flags that determine how to handle existing parameters. Valid flags include: 0: Error if a parameter already exists in the target dataset. SDDS_TRANSFER_KEEPOLD: Retain existing parameters in the target dataset and skip transferring conflicting parameters. SDDS_TRANSFER_OVERWRITE: Overwrite existing parameters in the target dataset with definitions from the source dataset.

Returns

1 on success; 0 on failure. On failure, an error message is recorded.

SDDS_UnescapeQuotes()

epicsShareFuncSDDS void SDDS_UnescapeQuotes ( char * s, char quote_char )

extern

Removes escape characters from quote characters within a string.

This function scans the input string s and removes backslashes (\) that precede the specified quote_char, effectively unescaping the quotes. This is useful for processing strings that have been prepared with escaped quotes.

Parameters

[in,out]	s	Pointer to the string in which quotes will be unescaped. The string will be modified in place.
[in]	quote_char	The quote character to unescape (e.g., ").

Note

The function modifies the string s by shifting characters to remove the escape backslashes. It assumes that s is properly null-terminated.

SDDS_UpdatePage()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_UpdatePage ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset, uint32_t mode )

extern

Updates the current page of the SDDS dataset.

This function finalizes and writes the current page of the SDDS dataset based on the specified mode. The mode can be either FLUSH_TABLE, indicating that the current page is complete and should be written to disk, or 0 for other update operations. Depending on the data mode (ASCII or Binary), the function delegates the update process to the appropriate handler.

Parameters

[in,out]	SDDS_dataset	Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.
[in]	mode	The update mode, which can be: FLUSH_TABLE: Indicates that the current page is complete and should be written to disk. 0: Represents a standard update without flushing the table.

Returns

• 1 on successful update of the current page.
• 0 if an error occurred during the update process. An error message is set internally in this case.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• A page must have been started before calling this function.

Postcondition

• The current page is updated and, if specified, written to the output file.
• The dataset state is synchronized with the file to ensure data integrity.

Note

• The function supports parallel I/O modes if enabled.
• The FLUSH_TABLE mode ensures that all buffered data is written to the disk, which can be useful for data integrity.

Warning

• Attempting to update a page without starting one will result in an error.
• Concurrent access to the dataset while updating pages may lead to undefined behavior.

SDDS_WriteBinaryString()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_WriteBinaryString ( char * string, FILE * fp, SDDS_FILEBUFFER * fBuffer )

extern

Writes a binary string to a file with buffering.

This function writes a binary string to the specified file by first writing the length of the string followed by the string's content to ensure proper binary formatting. If the input string is NULL, an empty string is written instead. The writing operation utilizes a buffered approach to enhance performance.

Parameters

[in]	string	The null-terminated string to be written. If NULL, an empty string is written.
[in]	fp	The file pointer to write to. Must be an open file in binary write mode.
[in,out]	fBuffer	Pointer to the file buffer used for buffered writing operations.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

Return values

1	Operation was successful.
0	An error occurred during writing.

SDDS_WriteLayout()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_WriteLayout ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Writes the SDDS layout header to the output file.

This function serializes and writes the layout information of the SDDS dataset to the output file. The layout defines the structure of the data tables, including parameters, arrays, columns, and associates. The function handles different file types, including standard, gzip-compressed, and LZMA-compressed files, and ensures that the layout is written in the correct byte order and format based on the dataset's configuration.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure whose layout is to be written.

Returns

• 1 on successful writing of the layout.
• 0 if an error occurred during the writing process. An internal error message is set in this case.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• The layout must have been saved internally using SDDS_SaveLayout before calling this function.
• The dataset must not be disconnected from the output file.
• The layout must not have been previously written to the file.

Postcondition

• The layout header is written to the output file in the appropriate format.
• The dataset's internal state is updated to reflect that the layout has been written.

Note

• The function automatically determines the layout version based on the data types used in parameters, arrays, and columns.
• Environment variable SDDS_OUTPUT_ENDIANESS can influence the byte order declared in the layout.
• The function handles both binary and ASCII modes, adjusting the layout accordingly.

Warning

• Attempting to write the layout after it has already been written will result in an error.
• The function does not support writing layouts to disconnected files.
• Ensure that the output file is properly opened and writable before calling this function.

SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryArrays()

int32_t SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryArrays

(

SDDS_DATASET *

SDDS_dataset

)

Writes non-native endian binary arrays to an SDDS dataset.

This function iterates through all array definitions in the specified SDDS dataset and writes their binary data to the underlying file. It handles various data types, including short, unsigned short, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, float, double, and long double. For string arrays, it writes each string individually, ensuring proper memory management and byte order conversion. The function supports different compression formats, including uncompressed, LZMA-compressed, and GZIP-compressed files. After writing, it swaps the endianness of the array data to match the system's native byte order.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to write to.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful writing of all arrays, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	All non-native endian arrays were successfully written and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the write operation, such as I/O failures, memory allocation issues, or corrupted array definitions.

Note

This function modifies the dataset's array data during the write process. Ensure that the dataset is properly initialized and opened for writing before invoking this function. After writing, the dataset's state is updated to reflect the written arrays.

SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryPage()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryPage ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Writes a non-native endian binary page to an SDDS dataset.

This function writes a binary page to the specified SDDS dataset, handling byte order reversal to convert between little-endian and big-endian formats. It manages various compression formats, including uncompressed, GZIP-compressed, and LZMA-compressed files. The function performs the following operations:

• Counts the number of rows to write.
• Writes the row count with appropriate byte order handling.
• Writes non-native endian parameters and arrays.
• Writes column data in either column-major or row-major format based on the dataset's configuration.
• Flushes the buffer to ensure all data is written to the file.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to write to.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful writing of the binary page, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	The binary page was successfully written and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the write operation, such as I/O failures, memory allocation issues, or corrupted dataset definitions.

Note

This function modifies the dataset's internal structures during the write process. Ensure that the dataset is properly initialized and opened for writing before invoking this function. After writing, the dataset's state is updated to reflect the newly written page.

This function iterates through all parameter definitions in the specified SDDS dataset and writes their binary data to the underlying file. It handles various data types, including short, unsigned short, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, float, double, and long double. For string parameters, it writes each string individually, ensuring proper memory management and byte order conversion. Parameters with fixed values are skipped during the write process. The function supports different compression formats, including uncompressed, LZMA-compressed, and GZIP-compressed files.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset to write to.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful writing of all parameters, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	All non-native endian parameters were successfully written and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the write operation, such as I/O failures, memory allocation issues, or corrupted parameter definitions.

Note

This function modifies the dataset's parameter data during the write process. Ensure that the dataset is properly initialized and opened for writing before invoking this function. After writing, the dataset's state is updated to reflect the written parameters.

SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryString()

int32_t SDDS_WriteNonNativeBinaryString	(	char *	string,
		FILE *	fp,
		SDDS_FILEBUFFER *	fBuffer )

Writes a non-native endian binary string to a file.

This function writes a binary string to the specified file pointer, handling non-native endianness. It first writes the length of the string as a 32-bit integer with byte order swapped. If the string is not to be skipped, it then writes the string data itself followed by a null terminator. If the input string is NULL, an empty string is written instead.

Parameters

[in]	string	The string to write. If NULL, an empty string is written.
[in]	fp	Pointer to the FILE where the string will be written.
[in]	fBuffer	Pointer to the SDDS_FILEBUFFER structure used for buffered writing.

Returns

int32_t Returns 1 on successful writing of the string, or 0 if an error occurred.

Return values

1	The string was successfully written and byte-swapped.
0	An error occurred during the write operation, such as I/O failures or memory allocation issues.

Note

The caller is responsible for ensuring that the file pointer fp is valid and open for writing. This function does not perform memory allocation for the string; it assumes that the string is already allocated and managed appropriately.

SDDS_WritePage()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_WritePage ( SDDS_DATASET * SDDS_dataset )

extern

Writes the current data table to the output file.

This function serializes and writes the current data table of the SDDS dataset to the output file. It must be preceded by a call to SDDS_WriteLayout to ensure that the dataset layout is properly defined in the output file. Depending on the data mode (ASCII or Binary), the function delegates the writing process to the appropriate handler.

Parameters

[in,out]

SDDS_dataset

Pointer to the SDDS_DATASET structure representing the dataset.

Returns

• 1 on successful writing of the data table.
• 0 if an error occurred during the write process. An error message is set internally in this case.

Precondition

• The dataset must be initialized and configured for output.
• SDDS_WriteLayout must have been called successfully before writing any pages.

Postcondition

• The current data table is written to the output file.
• The dataset state is synchronized with the file to ensure data integrity.

Note

• The function supports parallel I/O modes if enabled.
• Ensure that the dataset is not disconnected from the output file before calling this function.

Warning

• Attempting to write a page without defining the layout first will result in an error.
• Concurrent access to the dataset while writing pages may lead to undefined behavior.

extern

Writes a typed value to an ASCII file stream.

This function writes a value of a specified SDDS data type to an ASCII file stream. The data is provided as a void pointer, and the function handles various data types by casting the pointer appropriately based on the type parameter. For string data, special characters are escaped according to SDDS conventions.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the data to be written. Should be castable to the type specified by type.
index	Array index of the data to be printed; use 0 if not an array.
type	The SDDS data type of the data variable. Possible values include SDDS_SHORT, SDDS_LONG, SDDS_FLOAT, etc.
format	Optional printf format string to use; pass NULL to use the default format for the data type.
fp	The FILE pointer to the ASCII file stream where the data will be written.

Returns

Returns 1 on success; 0 on error (e.g., if data or fp is NULL, or an unknown data type is specified).

SDDS_ZeroMemory()

epicsShareFuncSDDS int32_t SDDS_ZeroMemory ( void * mem, int64_t n_bytes )

extern

Sets a block of memory to zero.

This function zero-initializes a specified number of bytes in a memory block. It is a wrapper around the standard memset function, providing a convenient way to clear memory.

Parameters

[in,out]	mem	Pointer to the memory block to be zeroed.
[in]	n_bytes	The number of bytes to set to zero.

Returns

Returns 1 on successful memory zeroing. Returns 0 if the input memory pointer mem is NULL.

Note

The function does not perform any bounds checking. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the memory block is large enough to accommodate n_bytes.
