Detailed Description

Constants for use throughout the SIONlib API.

Enumeration Type Documentation

sion_endianness

enum sion_endianness

declares the endianness of user data written to a file

Enumerator
SION_ENDIANNESS_LITTLE	the user data is little endian
SION_ENDIANNESS_BIG	the user data is big endian
SION_ENDIANNESS_HOST	the user data has the endianness of the host system

Definition at line 63 of file sion_enums.h.

sion_keyval_mode

enum sion_keyval_mode

specifies whether to use SIONlib's key-value mechanism for accessing file content and if so in what mode

Enumerator
SION_KEYVAL_MODE_INLINE	key-value mechanism with inline storage of meta-data
SION_KEYVAL_MODE_META	not implemented
SION_KEYVAL_MODE_HASH	not implemented
SION_KEYVAL_MODE_UNKNOWN	when reading a file, learn appropriate mechanism from file header
SION_KEYVAL_MODE_NONE	do not use key-value mechanism

Definition at line 35 of file sion_enums.h.

sion_lowlevel_api

enum sion_lowlevel_api

specifies a low-level API to use for file system access

Enumerator
SION_LOWLEVEL_API_C	the C standard library I/O API (fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), fclose(), etc.)
SION_LOWLEVEL_API_POSIX	the POSIX I/O API (open(), read(), write(), close(), etc.)

Definition at line 19 of file sion_enums.h.

sion_open_mode

enum sion_open_mode

specifies for what type of access to open a file

Enumerator
SION_OPEN_READ	open the file for reading only
SION_OPEN_WRITE	open the file for writing only

Definition at line 27 of file sion_enums.h.

sion_seek_mode

enum sion_seek_mode

determines how offsets are interpreted for seek operations

Enumerator
SION_SEEK_BEGINNING	interpret the offset relative to the beginning of the file
SION_SEEK_CURRENT	interpret the offset relative to the current position in the file
SION_SEEK_END	interpret the offset relative to the end of the file
SION_SEEK_CHUNK_BEGINNING	interpret the offset relative to the beginning of the current chunk
SION_SEEK_CHUNK_END	interpret the offset relative to the end of the current chunk

Definition at line 49 of file sion_enums.h.
