chap

Lightweight C implementation of hashmap for maps of arbitrary data size

Compilation

make all

Eventually there will be an install in the make file that will place it in the appropriate system library and include directory.

Example Usage

See the header file to get detailed descriptions for all the functions in the chap library.

main.c

#include <chap.h>

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    // Create a new map
    chap_map_t *map = chap_map_new();

    // Put a key/value pair into the map
    chap_put(map, "key", "value");

    // Get a key/value pair from the map
    char *sval = chap_get(map, "key");

    // Get an integer value from the map
    chap_put(map, "number", "42");
    int ival;
    chap_get_int(map, "number", &ival);

    // Provide a default to insert into the map if the value is not found when
    // performing the get
    char *dval = chap_get_default(map, "dkey", "default");

    // Remove all entries from the map
    chap_clear(map);

    // Destroy the map to prevent memory leaks
    chap_map_destroy(map);

    return 0;
}
