Functions
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_read2 (apr_hash_t *hash, svn_stream_t *stream, const char *terminator, apr_pool_t *pool)
	Read a hash table from stream, storing the resultants names and values in hash.
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_write2 (apr_hash_t *hash, svn_stream_t *stream, const char *terminator, apr_pool_t *pool)
	Dump hash to stream.
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_read_incremental (apr_hash_t *hash, svn_stream_t *stream, const char *terminator, apr_pool_t *pool)
	Similar to svn_hash_read2(), but allows stream to contain deletion lines which remove entries from hash as well as adding to it.
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_write_incremental (apr_hash_t *hash, apr_hash_t *oldhash, svn_stream_t *stream, const char *terminator, apr_pool_t *pool)
	Similar to svn_hash_write2(), but only writes out entries for keys which differ between hash and oldhash, and also writes out deletion lines for keys which are present in oldhash but not in hash.
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_read (apr_hash_t *hash, apr_file_t *srcfile, apr_pool_t *pool)
	This function behaves like svn_hash_read2(), but it only works on an apr_file_t input, empty files are accepted, and the hash is expected to be terminated with a line containing "END" or "PROPS-END".
svn_error_t *	svn_hash_write (apr_hash_t *hash, apr_file_t *destfile, apr_pool_t *pool)
	This function behaves like svn_hash_write2(), but it only works on an apr_file_t output, and the terminator is always "END".

Function Documentation

svn_error_t* svn_hash_read	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		apr_file_t *	srcfile,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

This function behaves like svn_hash_read2(), but it only works on an apr_file_t input, empty files are accepted, and the hash is expected to be terminated with a line containing "END" or "PROPS-END".

Deprecated:

Provided for backward compatibility with the 1.0 API.

svn_error_t* svn_hash_read2	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		svn_stream_t *	stream,
		const char *	terminator,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Read a hash table from stream, storing the resultants names and values in hash.

Use a pool for all allocations. hash will have const char * keys and svn_string_t * values. If terminator is NULL, expect the hash to be terminated by the end of the stream; otherwise, expect the hash to be terminated by a line containing terminator. Pass SVN_HASH_TERMINATOR to use the conventional terminator "END".

Since:

New in 1.1.

svn_error_t* svn_hash_read_incremental	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		svn_stream_t *	stream,
		const char *	terminator,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Similar to svn_hash_read2(), but allows stream to contain deletion lines which remove entries from hash as well as adding to it.

Since:

New in 1.1.

svn_error_t* svn_hash_write	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		apr_file_t *	destfile,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

This function behaves like svn_hash_write2(), but it only works on an apr_file_t output, and the terminator is always "END".

Deprecated:

Provided for backward compatibility with the 1.0 API.

svn_error_t* svn_hash_write2	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		svn_stream_t *	stream,
		const char *	terminator,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Dump hash to stream.

Use pool for all allocations. hash has const char * keys and svn_string_t * values. If terminator is not NULL, terminate the hash with a line containing terminator.

Since:

New in 1.1.

svn_error_t* svn_hash_write_incremental	(	apr_hash_t *	hash,
		apr_hash_t *	oldhash,
		svn_stream_t *	stream,
		const char *	terminator,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Similar to svn_hash_write2(), but only writes out entries for keys which differ between hash and oldhash, and also writes out deletion lines for keys which are present in oldhash but not in hash.

Since:

New in 1.1.
