Code to load an AIFF file. It loads 16 bit uncompresed AIFF files only. However it does support big-endian AIFF files, which are technically AIFC files.
short *loadaiff(const char *fname, long *samplerate, int *Nchannels, long
*Nsamples);
short *floadaiff(FILE *fp, long *samplerate, int *Nchannels, long
*Nsamples);
loadaiff - loads an AIFF file in 16-but itnerleaved PPM format.
floadaiff - the same fucntion but taking an open stream as an argument.

Converts an ASCII string to an escaped C string suitable for using in C source code.
char *fslurp(FILE *fp);
int validcstring(const char *str);
char *texttostring(const char *str);
fslurp Probably shouldn't be in here. Loads a text file from a stream.
validcstring Test if a string is a valid escaped C literal.
texttostring Escapes text and returns a C string literal enclosed
in quotes. If the string is long it will be broken up into separate quoted
sections separated by newlines.

This code loads a .bdf font and converts it to a bitmap_font structure.
void ReadBdf(FILE * bdf, FILE * out, int header, const char *name);
ReadBdf - a misnomer. It reads a BDF font from a stream, and writes C source to out. Pass header = true to just write the C header, and name for the name of the bitmap_font structure.

Code to load and save Microsoft bitmap .bmp files. It won't support absolutely everything (no compressed bitmaps or ones with odd channel masks). However it should load most bitmaps encountered in practice. There are also functions to save.
int bmpgetinfo(char *fname, int *width, int *height);
unsigned char *loadbmp(char *fname, int *width, int *height);
unsigned char *loadbmp8bit(char *fname, int *width, int *height,
unsigned char *pal);
unsigned char *loadbmp4bit(char *fname, int *width, int *height,
unsigned char *pal);
int savebmp(char *fname, unsigned char *rgb, int width, int height);
int savebmp8bit(char *fname, unsigned char *data, int width, int height,
unsigned char *pal);
int savebmp4bit(char *fname, unsigned char *data, int width, int height,
unsigned char *pal);
int savebmp1bit(char *fname, unsigned char *data, int width, int height,
unsigned char *pal);
bmpgetinfo - query a bitmap file for its type. It returns the dimensions, and the bit depth (so 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32). Note that 32 bit bitmaps do not have an alpha channel.
loadbmp - the function you will normally use. Loads any bitmap as 24 bit RGB data.
loadbmp8bit - load a bitmap with its palette. pal should be a buffer of 768 bytes for 256 RGB triplets. The bitmap must have depth of 8 bits.
loadbmp4bit - load a 4 bit bitmap with its palette. pal shoule be a buffer
of 48 bytes for 16 RGB triplets. The bitmap must have a depth of 4 bits. It returns the raster data packed in nybles.
savebmp - save a 24 bit RGB image as a bitmap.
savebmp8bit - the raster data represents indexes into the palette. which is 256 24-bit RGB entries.
savebmp4bit - save a colour-indexed image as a 4 bit bitmap. Note that each byte should be in the rnage 0-15 and represent an idex into the 16 entry palette. The function does not accept raser data packed into nybles.
savebmp1bit - save a binary (1-bit) bitmap. Each byte in the raster represents one pixel and must be 1 or 0. The actual colours are determiend by the two-entry palette. This one hasn't been well-tested, and we need a corresponding save routine. Then it can go inthe binaryimage library.'

Code to load a comma-separated value file into memory. It attempts to automativally detect the presence of a header. It supports missing values and intricate string escapes, but not non-comma separators. It also determines the type of data in a column.
#define CSV_NULL 0 /* null data */
#define CSV_REAL 1 /* floating-point data */
#define CSV_STRING 2 /* string data */
#define CSV_BOOL 3 /* boolean data */
CSV *loadcsv(const char *fname);
void killcsv(CSV *csv);
void csv_getsize(CSV *csv, int *width, int *height);
int csv_hasdata(CSV *csv, int col, int row);
double csv_get(CSV *csv, int col, int row);
const char *csv_getstr(CSV *csv, int col, int row);
int csv_hasheader(CSV *csv);
const char *csv_column(CSV *csv, int col, int *type);
loadcsv - loads a CSV object from a file. Returns NULL on fail. It needs a rewrite to improve error handling.
csv_getsize - get the dimensions of the CDV dataframe in rows (height) and columns (width).
csv_hasdata - you need to call this before every access to check that the CSV file cell is not empty (missing data).
csv_get - get numerical data from the CSV object. Note that integers will be returned as doubles.
csv_getstr - get string data from the CDV file. The string is owned by the CSV object and shouldn't be hung on to.
csv_hasheader - check is the first row of the CSV data is a header.
csv_column - query the CSV object for the type of data in a column. Which will be either CSV_REAL or CSV_STRING, except for degenerate csv files with completely empty columns.
See using CSV.
Copyright: Malcolm McLean
Code to convert a CSV object into C source. If the CSV file is a matrix then the data is written out as a two-dimensional array. Otheerwise it is written out as a dataframe, an array of C structs. The struct field names are determined from the CSV file header.
int dumpcsv(FILE *fpout, int headerfile, const char *name, CSV *csv);
dumpcsv - convert a CSV object to C source code. headerfile means write out a C header file instead of a .c source file (the word "header" would have ben confusing). It should be considered experimental.

Code to load or save a .GIF image. It depends on rbtree.c and rbtree.h.
unsigned char *loadgif(char *fname, int *width, int *height,
unsigned char *pal, int *transparent);
int savegif(char *fname, unsigned char *data, int width, int height,
unsigned char *pal, int palsize, int transparent, int important,
int interlaced);
loadgif - load a non-animated GIF file. pal should point to 768 byters for 256 RGB triplets. transparent gives the index of the transparent colour (-1 if none, which is quite common).
savegif - save a non-animated GIF file. This one looks frightening, because of little-used features of GIF files we support. pal points to palsize RGB triplets. transparent passes in the transparent color (use -1 for no transparency). important and interlaced are obsolete and can be zero.

Code to load practically any common text format file as clean UTF-8 without a BOM. It relies on automatic detection of text format type.
char *loadasutf8(const char *filename, int *err);
loadasutf8 - load text as UTF-8. It's quite straightforwards except for the text format detection code on which it depends. It returns NULL and err is set to non-zero on failure. To do, improve error reporting.

loadcursor - load a .cur file. A .cur file is basically just a bitmap with a hotpoint attached. The function hasn't been well-tested.
Copyright: Malcolm McLean
High-level image loading function. Should load practically anything as 32 bit RGBA, including SVG files.
unsigned char *loadrgba(char *fname, int *width, int *height, int *err);
unsigned char *loadassvgwithsize(char *fname, int width, int height);
loadrgba - load a raster image (.bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff) as a 32 bit RGBA. We try to keep to the convention that err -1 means out of memory, -2 means failure to open file or Io error, and -3 means a parse error. However it's unlikely that this is completely consistent. This is the crown jewel function.
loadsvg - load an SVG as a 32 bit RTGBA raster. Since SVGs are scaleable, they can't have the same interface as the raster graphics, and you have to pass in the width and height that you want.

Commandline options parser.
OPTIONS *options(int argc, char **argv, char *flags);
void killoptions(OPTIONS *opt);
int opt_get(OPTIONS *opt, char *name, char *fmt, ...);
int opt_error(OPTIONS *opt, FILE *fp);
int opt_Nargs(OPTIONS *opt);
char *opt_arg(OPTIONS *opt, int index);
options - create an OPTIONS object from argc and argv. It takes local copies, so everything is from thsi point self-contained. flags is a list of sigle character flags the options parser will accept. If you don't support single character option flags, pass NULL rather than the empty string.
killoptions - the OPTIONS object destructor.
opt_get - query the OPTIONS object for an option. You can pass several aliases for an option at once, eg, "-help -h --help /help /h". If the option is a flag, fmt should be null. If it takes arguments, it's similar to scanf() - pass %d for an integer or %f for a double. %s should always take a length field (e.g %256s) to avoid buffer overruns. Intitialise the arguments to defaults and they will not be overwritten if the option is not present. Note that opt_get() is used both to extract options, and to tell the options parser what the allowed options are. So you must query for every option you support.
opt_Nargs - after all the calls to opt_get have been completed, the remaining arguments in argv are non-option arguments, usually filenames. This function counts them.
opt_arg - call to retrieve non-option arguments. The arguments are allocated with malloc() and so should be freed by caller.
See using the commandline options parser.

Code to implement a red-black tree. red-black trees are balanced binary trees which do not deenrate into linked lists afte rrepeated insertions or deletions. They always remain reaonsably balanced. Which means that they can offer O(log N) searching of dynamic data.
RBTREE *rbtree(int (*compfunc)(const void *e1, const void *e2));

void *rbt_next(RBTREE *tree, void *key, void **dataret);
void *rbt_prev(RBTREE *tree, void *key, void **dataret);
rbtree - constructor for an empty RBTREE object. Since the tree is sorted, it need s aqsort-style comparison function to order the elements.
killrbtree - RBTREE destructor. Note that it doesn't own its contents.
rbt_add - add an entry to the RBTREE. It consists of a key / data item pair. The RBTREE doesn't own the keys or the data, so the key can be a field of the data entry.
rbt_del - delete an entry from the tree. Returns -1 if the object is not found. Note that it won't delete either the key or the data.
rbt_find - search for an entry by key. It returns a pointer to the data item if found, NULL if not found.
rbt_next - for "walking" the tree. Returns the key for the next entry, and fills in the void ** for the data. Pass NULL for the first entry, and then the return for the subsequent entries, until the function returns NULL.
rbt_prev - for "walking" the tree in a reverse direction. Returns the key for the previous entry, and fills in the void ** for the data. Pass NULL for the last entry, and then the return for the preceding entries, until the function returns NULL.

XMLNODE **xml_getdescendants(XMLNODE *node, const char *tag, int *N);
loadxmldoc - load an XML document.
floadxmldoc - load an XML document from an open stream.
killxmldoc - XMLDOC destructor.
xml_getroot - get the root node of the XML document. All other nodes are descendants.
xml_gettag - get the element name associated with a node.
xml_getdata - get the data (the text between the open and close tags) associated with a node. Note currrently this function doesn't handle properly nodes with both children and embedded text.
xml_getattribute - get the named atribute data associated with a node. You have to walk the attribute list to query for unknown attributes(which should be rarely needed).
xml_getNchildren - get the number of direct children of a node.
xml_Nchildrenwithtag - convenience function, get the number of children with a given element name.
xml_getchild - get the child of a node, passing in element name and index. So use in conjunction with xml_Nchildrenwithtag() to visi every child element of a given type. Note that this function starts from the beginning of the list on each call, don't use for really long XML (walk the list by hand). If you pass NULL for the element name, it finds he Nth child of any type.
xml_getdescendants - convenience function. it gets all the descendants of a node with a certain element name, and returns them in an allocated list. Useful for over-specified XML where the data of interest is buried away in higher-level structures.
The XML parser is being rewritten and is not advised for general use at present. It's good enough for simple XML like the Baby X resource script, but it won't stand up to the complications found in general XML.
