5 Packages

Packages are listed by definition order.


5.1 parser.ini

This package provides the main entry point

parse SOURCE BUILDER [generic function]

Parse the content of SOURCE as "ini-like" configuration
options, construct a parse result using BUILDER and return it.

The builder protocol consists of

architecture.builder-protocol:make-node BUILDER KIND &rest ARGS [generic function]

Create objects representing sections and options with
KIND :section and :option respectively.

architecture.builder-protocol:relate BUILDER RELATION LEFT RIGHT &rest ARGS [generic function]

Attach options to their containing sections with
relation :section-option.

Parsing may signal

ini-parse-error [condition]

Syntactic variants can be controlled by binding the special
variables

*comment-starter* [special variable]

Controls which character initiates a comment. Defaults to "#".

*assignment-expression* [special variable]

Controls assignment expression. Defaults to "=".

*value-terminating-whitespace-expression* [special variable]

Controls which whitespace terminates option values. By default,
all whitespace terminates option values.

Source

package.lisp.

Use List
  • alexandria.
  • common-lisp.
  • let-plus.
  • more-conditions.
  • parser.common-rules.

6 Definitions

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.


6.1 Public Interface


6.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *assignment-operator*

Controls the accepted assignment syntax. The default is the character "=".

Package

parser.ini.

Source

variables.lisp.

Special Variable: *comment-starter*

Controls which character starts a comment. The default is ##.

If bound to either ## or #;, the respective character turns the rest of the current line into a comment.

If bound to ‘nil’, comments are disallowed.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

variables.lisp.

Special Variable: *include-empty-sections?*

Controls whether empty sections, i.e. "section" in

[section]
[next section]

should be included in the parse result.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

variables.lisp.

Special Variable: *name-component-separator*

Controls the syntax for separating name components. The default is the character ".".

Note the value nil corresponds to "no component separator" which leads to names not being split into components.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

variables.lisp.

Special Variable: *value-terminating-whitespace-expression*

Controls which kinds of whitespace terminate option values. The default is :all which corresponds to any whitespace terminating the value of an option.

For some values of this variable, quoting has to be used when whitespace in option values is required.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

variables.lisp.


6.1.2 Generic functions

Generic Reader: ini-parse-error-location (condition)
Package

parser.ini.

Methods
Reader Method: ini-parse-error-location ((condition ini-parse-error))
Source

conditions.lisp.

Target Slot

location.

Generic Reader: ini-parse-error-source (condition)
Package

parser.ini.

Methods
Reader Method: ini-parse-error-source ((condition ini-parse-error))
Source

conditions.lisp.

Target Slot

source.

Generic Function: parse (source builder &key start end junk-allowed)

Parse the content of SOURCE as "ini-like" configuration options, construct a parse result using BUILDER and return it.

START and END can be used to restrict parsing to a sub-sequence of SOURCE.

JUNK-ALLOWED controls whether an error is signaled when a successful parse does not consume the entire input in SOURCE (or the sub-sequence delimited by START and END).

Signal a ‘ini-parse-error’ when errors are encountered.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

protocol.lisp.

Methods
Method: parse ((source pathname) builder &key start end junk-allowed)
Method: parse ((source stream) builder &key start end junk-allowed)
Method: parse ((source string) builder &key start end junk-allowed)
Method: parse (source builder &key start end junk-allowed)
Method: parse :around (source builder &key start end junk-allowed)

6.1.3 Conditions

Condition: ini-parse-error

This error is signaled when parsing ini input fails.

Package

parser.ini.

Source

conditions.lisp.

Direct superclasses
  • chainable-condition.
  • parse-error.
Direct methods
Direct Default Initargs
InitargValue
:source(missing-required-initarg (quote ini-parse-error) source)

Readers

ini-parse-error-location.

Writers

This slot is read-only.
