Description

Structure xmlSaveCtxt

Structure xmlSaveCtxt
struct _xmlSaveCtxt { The content of this structure is not made public by the API. }

Enum xmlSaveOption

Enum xmlSaveOption {
    XML_SAVE_FORMAT = 1 : format save output
    XML_SAVE_NO_DECL = 2 : drop the xml declaration
    XML_SAVE_NO_EMPTY = 4 : no empty tags
    XML_SAVE_NO_XHTML = 8 : disable XHTML1 specific rules
    XML_SAVE_XHTML = 16 : force XHTML1 specific rules
    XML_SAVE_AS_XML = 32 : force XML serialization on HTML doc
    XML_SAVE_AS_HTML = 64 : force HTML serialization on XML doc
    XML_SAVE_WSNONSIG = 128 : format with non-significant whitespace
}

Function: xmlSaveClose

int	xmlSaveClose			(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt)

Close a document saving context, i.e. make sure that all bytes have been output and free the associated data.

ctxt:a document saving context
Returns:the number of byte written or -1 in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveDoc

long	xmlSaveDoc			(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt, 
xmlDocPtr doc)

Save a full document to a saving context TODO: The function is not fully implemented yet as it does not return the byte count but 0 instead

ctxt:a document saving context
doc:a document
Returns:the number of byte written or -1 in case of error

Function: xmlSaveFlush

int	xmlSaveFlush			(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt)

Flush a document saving context, i.e. make sure that all bytes have been output.

ctxt:a document saving context
Returns:the number of byte written or -1 in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveSetAttrEscape

int	xmlSaveSetAttrEscape		(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt, 
xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc escape)

Set a custom escaping function to be used for text in attribute content

ctxt:a document saving context
escape:the escaping function
Returns:0 if successful or -1 in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveSetEscape

int	xmlSaveSetEscape		(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt, 
xmlCharEncodingOutputFunc escape)

Set a custom escaping function to be used for text in element content

ctxt:a document saving context
escape:the escaping function
Returns:0 if successful or -1 in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveToBuffer

xmlSaveCtxtPtr	xmlSaveToBuffer		(xmlBufferPtr buffer, 
const char * encoding,
int options)

Create a document saving context serializing to a buffer with the encoding and the options given

buffer:a buffer
encoding:the encoding name to use or NULL
options:a set of xmlSaveOptions
Returns:a new serialization context or NULL in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveToFd

xmlSaveCtxtPtr	xmlSaveToFd		(int fd, 
const char * encoding,
int options)

Create a document saving context serializing to a file descriptor with the encoding and the options given.

fd:a file descriptor number
encoding:the encoding name to use or NULL
options:a set of xmlSaveOptions
Returns:a new serialization context or NULL in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveToFilename

xmlSaveCtxtPtr	xmlSaveToFilename	(const char * filename, 
const char * encoding,
int options)

Create a document saving context serializing to a filename or possibly to an URL (but this is less reliable) with the encoding and the options given.

filename:a file name or an URL
encoding:the encoding name to use or NULL
options:a set of xmlSaveOptions
Returns:a new serialization context or NULL in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveToIO

xmlSaveCtxtPtr	xmlSaveToIO		(xmlOutputWriteCallback iowrite, 
xmlOutputCloseCallback ioclose,
void * ioctx,
const char * encoding,
int options)

Create a document saving context serializing to a file descriptor with the encoding and the options given

iowrite:an I/O write function
ioclose:an I/O close function
ioctx:an I/O handler
encoding:the encoding name to use or NULL
options:a set of xmlSaveOptions
Returns:a new serialization context or NULL in case of error.

Function: xmlSaveTree

long	xmlSaveTree			(xmlSaveCtxtPtr ctxt, 
xmlNodePtr node)

Save a subtree starting at the node parameter to a saving context TODO: The function is not fully implemented yet as it does not return the byte count but 0 instead

ctxt:a document saving context
node:the top node of the subtree to save
Returns:the number of byte written or -1 in case of error
