.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm prop_number
|
|
family of functions operate on a numeric value property object type.
|
|
Values are either signed or unsigned, and promoted to a 64-bit type
|
|
.Pq int64_t or uint64_t , respectively .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to compare number objects that differ in sign.
|
|
Such comparisons first test to see if each object is within the valid
|
|
number range of the other:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Signed numbers that are greater than or equal to 0 can be compared to
|
|
unsigned numbers.
|
|
.It
|
|
Unsigned numbers that are less than or equal to the largest signed 64-bit
|
|
value
|
|
.Pq Dv INT64_MAX
|
|
can be compared to signed numbers.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Number objects have a different externalized representation depending
|
|
on their sign:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Signed numbers are externalized in base-10
|
|
.Pq decimal .
|
|
.It
|
|
Unsigned numbers are externalized in base-16
|
|
.Pq hexadecimal .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When numbers are internalized, the sign of the resulting number object
|
|
.Pq and thus its valid range
|
|
is determined by a set of rules evaluated in the following order:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
If the first character of the number is a
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
then the number is signed.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the first two characters of the number are
|
|
.Sq 0x
|
|
then the number is unsigned.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the number value fits into the range of a signed number then the
|
|
number is signed.
|
|
.It
|
|
In all other cases, the number is unsigned.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_create_integer "int64_t val"
|
|
Create a numeric value object with the signed value
|
|
.Fa val .
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_create_unsigned_integer "uint64_t val"
|
|
Create a numeric value object with the unsigned value
|
|
.Fa val .
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_copy "prop_number_t number"
|
|
Copy a numeric value object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numeric value,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_size "prop_number_t number"
|
|
Returns 8, 16, 32, or 64, representing the number of bits required to
|
|
hold the value of the object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numeric value,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_unsigned "prop_number_t number"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the numeric value object has an unsigned value.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_integer_value "prop_number_t number"
|
|
Returns the signed integer value of the numeric value object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numeric value, zero is returned.
|
|
Thus,
|
|
it is not possible to distinguish between
|
|
.Dq not a prop_number_t
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq prop_number_t has a value of 0 .
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_unsigned_integer_value "prop_number_t number"
|
|
Returns the unsigned integer value of the numeric value object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numeric value, zero is returned.
|
|
Thus,
|
|
it is not possible to distinguish between
|
|
.Dq not a prop_number_t
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq prop_number_t has a value of 0 .
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_equals "prop_number_t num1" "prop_number_t num2"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the two numeric value objects are equivalent.
|
|
If at least one of the supplied objects isn't a numeric value,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_equals_integer "prop_number_t number" "int64_t val"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the object's value is equivalent to the signed value
|
|
.Fa val .
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numerical value or if
|
|
.Fa val
|
|
exceeds
|
|
.Dv INT64_MAX ,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_number_equals_unsigned_integer "prop_number_t number" \
|
|
"uint64_t val"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the object's value is equivalent to the unsigned value
|
|
.Fa val .
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a numerical value or if
|
|
.Fa val
|
|
exceeds
|
|
.Dv INT64_MAX ,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
