Detailed Description

This is the basic API for creating data objects to be sent to other DataSource peers. Typically ds_init_data() will be used to create the object, then any number of the add functions used to add field, value pairs to the object. There are various functions allowing different data types to be added.

ds_data_t* ds_clone_data ( ds_data_t * data )

Create a clone of a data object.

Parameters

data	- Data object to be cloned

Returns: A copy of the input data object

void ds_free_data ( ds_data_t * data )

Deallocates the memory used by a data object.

Parameters

data	The data object to free

ds_data_t* ds_init_data	(	const char *	subject,
		unsigned short	type,
		unsigned short	flags
	)

Initialise a data object for use.

Parameters

subject	The name of the object
type	The object's type
flags	The object's flags

Returns: A ds_data_t object

void ds_set_subject	(	ds_data_t *	data,
		const char *	subject
	)

Sets a new name for the data object.

Parameters

data	The data object
subject	The new name for the object

This function should be used instead of setting _ds_data::subject directly since this function respects any patterns defined using the add-pattern configuration option.
