Function Documentation

  EVIL_API int fcntl (int fd, int cmd, ...)

Provide control over file descriptors.

Parameters
    fd The file descriptor.
    cmd The type of control.

Returns
    0 on success, -1 otherwise.

Performs one of various miscellaneous operations on fd. The operation in question is determined by cmd:

•   F_SETFD: Set the close-on-exec flag to the value specified by the argument after command (only the least significant bit is used).

•   F_SETLK and F_SETLKW: used to manage discretionary file locks. The third argument must be a pointer to a struct flock (that may be overwritten by this call).

This function returns 0 on success, -1 otherwise.

Conformity: None.

Supported OS: Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 Professional.

  EVIL_API wchar_t* evil_char_to_wchar (const char * text)

Convert a string from char * to wchar_t *.

Parameters
    text The string to convert.

Returns
    The converted string.

Convert a string from char * to wchar_t * and return it. If the allocation or conversion fails, NULL is returned. On success, the returned value must be freed when it is not used anymore.

Conformity: Non applicable.

Supported OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP.

  EVIL_API char* evil_wchar_to_char (const wchar_t * text)

Convert a string from wchar_t * to char *.

Parameters
    text The string to convert.

Returns
    The converted string.

Convert a string from wchar_t * to char * and return it. If the allocation or conversion fails, NULL is returned. On success, the returned value must be freed when it is not used anymore.

Conformity: Non applicable.

Supported OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP.

  EVIL_API char* evil_utf16_to_utf8 (const wchar_t * text)

Convert a string from UTF-16 to UTF-8.

Parameters
    text The string to convert in UTF-16.

Returns
    The converted string in UTF-8.

Convert a string from UTF-16 to UTF-8 and return it. If the allocation or conversion fails, NULL is returned. On success, the returned value must be freed when it is not used anymore.

Conformity: Non applicable.

Supported OS: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP.

  EVIL_API wchar_t* evil_utf8_to_utf16 (const char * text)

Convert a string from UTF-8 to UTF-16.

Parameters
    text The string to convert in UTF-8.

Returns
    The converted string in UTF-16.

Convert a string from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and return it. If the allocation or conversion fails, NULL is returned. On success, the returned value must be freed when it is not used anymore.

Conformity: Non applicable.

  EVIL_API int evil_path_is_absolute (const char * path)

check if the given path is absolute.

Parameters
    path The path to check.

Returns
    1 if the given path is absolute, 0 otherwise.

Check if the path path is absolute or not. An absolute path must begin with a letter (upper or lower case), followed by by the char ':', followed by the char '/' or '\'. If path is absolute this function returns 1, otherwise it returns 0. If path is NULL, it returns 0.
