Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

CBPRINTF_MUST_RUNTIME_PACKAGE

#define CBPRINTF_MUST_RUNTIME_PACKAGE	(		flags,
			...
	)		Z_CBPRINTF_MUST_RUNTIME_PACKAGE(flags, __VA_ARGS__)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Determine if string must be packaged in run time.

Static packaging can be applied if size of the package can be determined at compile time. In general, package size can be determined at compile time if there are no string arguments which might be copied into package body if they are considered transient.

Note

By default any char pointers are considered to be pointing at transient strings. This can be narrowed down to non const pointers by using CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_CONST_CHAR_RO.

Parameters

...	String with arguments.
flags	option flags. See Package flags.

Return values

1	if string must be packaged in run time.
0	string can be statically packaged.

CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT

#define CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Value:

        Z_POW2_CEIL(COND_CODE_1(CONFIG_CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_LONGDOUBLE, \
                (sizeof(long double)), (MAX(sizeof(double), sizeof(long long)))))

Required alignment of the buffer used for packaging.

CBPRINTF_STATIC_PACKAGE

#define CBPRINTF_STATIC_PACKAGE	(		packaged,
			inlen,
			outlen,
			align_offset,
			flags,
			...
	)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Value:

        Z_CBPRINTF_STATIC_PACKAGE(packaged, inlen, outlen, \
                                  align_offset, flags, __VA_ARGS__)

Statically package string.

Build string package from formatted string. It assumes that formatted string is in the read only memory.

If _Generic is not supported then runtime packaging is performed.

Parameters

packaged	pointer to where the packaged data can be stored. Pass a null pointer to skip packaging but still calculate the total space required. The data stored here is relocatable, that is it can be moved to another contiguous block of memory. It must be aligned to the size of the longest argument. It is recommended to use CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT for alignment.
inlen	set to the number of bytes available at packaged. If packaged is NULL the value is ignored.
outlen	variable updated to the number of bytes required to completely store the packed information. If input buffer was too small it is set to -ENOSPC.
align_offset	input buffer alignment offset in bytes. Where offset 0 means that buffer is aligned to CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT. Xtensa requires that packaged is aligned to CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT so it must be multiply of CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT or 0.
flags	option flags. See Package flags.
...	formatted string with arguments. Format string must be constant.

Typedef Documentation

cbprintf_cb

typedef int(* cbprintf_cb) ()

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Signature for a cbprintf callback function.

This function expects two parameters:

• c a character to output. The output behavior should be as if this was cast to an unsigned char.
• ctx a pointer to an object that provides context for the output operation.

The declaration does not specify the parameter types. This allows a function like fputc to be used without requiring all context pointers to be to a FILE object.

Returns

the value of c cast to an unsigned char then back to int, or a negative error code that will be returned from cbprintf().

cbprintf_cb_local

typedef int(* cbprintf_cb_local) (int c, void *ctx)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

cbprintf_convert_cb

typedef int(* cbprintf_convert_cb) (const void *buf, size_t len, void *ctx)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Signature for a cbprintf multibyte callback function.

Parameters

buf	data.
len	data length.
ctx	a pointer to an object that provides context for the operation.

return Amount of copied data or negative error code.

cbvprintf_external_formatter_func

typedef int(* cbvprintf_external_formatter_func) (cbprintf_cb out, void *ctx, const char *fmt, va_list ap)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Signature for a external formatter function identical to cbvprintf.

This function expects the following parameters:

Parameters

out	the function used to emit each generated character.
ctx	a pointer to an object that provides context for the external formatter.
fmt	a standard ISO C format string with characters and conversion specifications.
ap	captured stack arguments corresponding to the conversion specifications found within fmt.

Returns

vprintf like return values: the number of characters printed, or a negative error value returned from external formatter.

Function Documentation

cbpprintf()

static int cbpprintf ( cbprintf_cb  out, void *  ctx, void *  packaged  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Generate the output for a previously captured format operation.

Parameters

out	the function used to emit each generated character.
ctx	context provided when invoking out
packaged	the data required to generate the formatted output, as captured by cbprintf_package() or cbvprintf_package(). The alignment requirement on this data is the same as when it was initially created.

Note

Memory indicated by packaged will be modified in a non-destructive way, meaning that it could still be reused with this function again.

Returns

the number of characters printed, or a negative error value returned from invoking out.

cbpprintf_external()

int cbpprintf_external	(	cbprintf_cb	out,
		cbvprintf_external_formatter_func	formatter,
		void *	ctx,
		void *	packaged
	)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Generate the output for a previously captured format operation using an external formatter.

Parameters

out	the function used to emit each generated character.
formatter	external formatter function.
ctx	a pointer to an object that provides context for the external formatter.
packaged	the data required to generate the formatted output, as captured by cbprintf_package() or cbvprintf_package(). The alignment requirement on this data is the same as when it was initially created.

Note

Memory indicated by packaged will be modified in a non-destructive way, meaning that it could still be reused with this function again.

Returns

printf like return values: the number of characters printed, or a negative error value returned from external formatter.

cbprintf()

int cbprintf	(	cbprintf_cb	out,
		void *	ctx,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

*printf-like output through a callback.

This is essentially printf() except the output is generated character-by-character using the provided out function. This allows formatting text of unbounded length without incurring the cost of a temporary buffer.

All formatting specifiers of C99 are recognized, and most are supported if the functionality is enabled.

Note

The functionality of this function is significantly reduced when CONFIG_CBPRINTF_NANO is selected.

Parameters

out	the function used to emit each generated character.
ctx	context provided when invoking out
format	a standard ISO C format string with characters and conversion specifications.
...	arguments corresponding to the conversion specifications found within format.

Returns

the number of characters printed, or a negative error value returned from invoking out.

cbprintf_fsc_package()

static int cbprintf_fsc_package ( void *  in_packaged, size_t  in_len, void *  packaged, size_t  len  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Convert package to fully self-contained (fsc) package.

Package may not be self contain since strings by default are stored by address. Package may be partially self-contained when transient (not read only) strings are appended to the package. Such package can be decoded only when there is an access to read-only strings.

Fully self-contained has (fsc) contains all strings used in the package. A package can be converted to fsc package if it was create with CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ADD_RO_STR_POS flag. Such package will contain necessary data to find read only strings in the package and copy them into the package body.

Parameters

in_packaged	pointer to original package created with CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ADD_RO_STR_POS.
in_len	in_packaged length.
packaged	pointer to location where fully self-contained version of the input package will be written. Pass a null pointer to calculate space required.
len	must be set to the number of bytes available at packaged. Not used if packaged is null.

Return values

nonegative	the number of bytes successfully stored at packaged. This will not exceed len. If packaged is null, calculated length.
-ENOSPC	if packaged was not null and the space required to store exceed len.
-EINVAL	if in_packaged is null.

cbprintf_package()

int cbprintf_package	(	void *	packaged,
		size_t	len,
		uint32_t	flags,
		const char *	format,
			...
	)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Capture state required to output formatted data later.

Like cbprintf() but instead of processing the arguments and emitting the formatted results immediately all arguments are captured so this can be done in a different context, e.g. when the output function can block.

In addition to the values extracted from arguments this will ensure that copies are made of the necessary portions of any string parameters that are not confirmed to be stored in read-only memory (hence assumed to be safe to refer to directly later).

Parameters

packaged	pointer to where the packaged data can be stored. Pass a null pointer to store nothing but still calculate the total space required. The data stored here is relocatable, that is it can be moved to another contiguous block of memory. However, under condition that alignment is maintained. It must be aligned to at least the size of a pointer.
len	this must be set to the number of bytes available at packaged if it is not null. If packaged is null then it indicates hypothetical buffer alignment offset in bytes compared to CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT alignment. Buffer alignment offset impacts returned size of the package. Xtensa requires that buffer is always aligned to CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT so it must be multiply of CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ALIGNMENT or 0 when packaged is null.
flags	option flags. See Package flags.
format	a standard ISO C format string with characters and conversion specifications.
...	arguments corresponding to the conversion specifications found within format.

Return values

nonegative	the number of bytes successfully stored at packaged. This will not exceed len.
-EINVAL	if format is not acceptable
-EFAULT	if packaged alignment is not acceptable
-ENOSPC	if packaged was not null and the space required to store exceed len.

cbprintf_package_convert()

int cbprintf_package_convert	(	void *	in_packaged,
		size_t	in_len,
		cbprintf_convert_cb	cb,
		void *	ctx,
		uint32_t	flags,
		uint16_t *	strl,
		size_t	strl_len
	)

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Convert a package.

Converting may include appending strings used in the package to the package body. If input package was created with CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ADD_RO_STR_POS or CBPRINTF_PACKAGE_ADD_RW_STR_POS, it contains information where strings are located within the package. This information can be used to copy strings during the conversion.

cb is called with portions of the output package. At the end of the conversion cb is called with null buffer.

Parameters

	in_packaged	Input package.
	in_len	Input package length. If 0 package length will be retrieved from the in_packaged
	cb	callback called with portions of the converted package. If null only length of the output package is calculated.
	ctx	Context provided to the cb.
	flags	Flags. See Package convert flags.
[in,out]	strl	if packaged is null, it is a pointer to the array where strl_len first string lengths will is stored. If packaged is not null, it contains lengths of first strl_len strings. It can be used to optimize copying so that string length is calculated only once (at length calculation phase when packaged is null.)
	strl_len	Number of elements in strl array.

Return values

Positive	output package size.
-ENOSPC	if packaged was not null and the space required to store exceed len.

cbprintf_package_copy()

static int cbprintf_package_copy ( void *  in_packaged, size_t  in_len, void *  packaged, size_t  len, uint32_t  flags, uint16_t *  strl, size_t  strl_len  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>

Copy package with optional appending of strings.

cbprintf_package_convert is used to convert and store converted package in the new location.

Parameters

	in_packaged	Input package.
	in_len	Input package length. If 0 package length will be retrieved from the in_packaged
[out]	packaged	Output package. If null only length of the output package is calculated.
	len	Available space in the location pointed by packaged. Not used when packaged is null.
	flags	Flags. See Package convert flags.
[in,out]	strl	if packaged is null, it is a pointer to the array where strl_len first string lengths will is stored. If packaged is not null, it contains lengths of first strl_len strings. It can be used to optimize copying so that string length is calculated only once (at length calculation phase when packaged is null.)
	strl_len	Number of elements in strl array.

Return values

Positive	Output package size.
-ENOSPC	if packaged was not null and the space required to store exceed len.

cbvprintf()

static int cbvprintf ( cbprintf_cb  out, void *  ctx, const char *  format, va_list  ap  )

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/sys/cbprintf.h>
