struct GMimeParser

struct GMimeParser;

A MIME parser context.

GMimeParserHeaderRegexFunc ()

void                (*GMimeParserHeaderRegexFunc)       (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         const char *header,
                                                         const char *value,
                                                         gint64 offset,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Function signature for the callback to g_mime_parser_set_header_regex().

g_mime_parser_new ()

GMimeParser *       g_mime_parser_new                   (void);

Creates a new parser object.

g_mime_parser_new_with_stream ()

GMimeParser *       g_mime_parser_new_with_stream       (GMimeStream *stream);

Creates a new parser object preset to parse stream.

g_mime_parser_init_with_stream ()

void                g_mime_parser_init_with_stream      (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         GMimeStream *stream);

Initializes parser to use stream.

WARNING: Initializing a parser with a stream is comparable to selling your soul (stream) to the devil (parser). You are basically giving the parser complete control of the stream, this means that you had better not touch the stream so long as the parser is still using it. This means no reading, writing, seeking, or resetting of the stream. Anything that will/could change the current stream's offset is PROHIBITED.

It is also recommended that you not use g_mime_stream_tell() because it will not necessarily give you the current parser offset since parser handles its own internal read-ahead buffer. Instead, it is recommended that you use g_mime_parser_tell() if you have a reason to need the current offset of the parser.

g_mime_parser_get_persist_stream ()

gboolean            g_mime_parser_get_persist_stream    (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets whether or not the underlying stream is persistent.

g_mime_parser_set_persist_stream ()

void                g_mime_parser_set_persist_stream    (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         gboolean persist);

Sets whether or not the parser's underlying stream is persistent.

If persist is TRUE, the parser will attempt to construct messages/parts whose content will remain on disk rather than being loaded into memory so as to reduce memory usage. This is the default.

If persist is FALSE, the parser will always load message content into memory.

Note: This attribute only serves as a hint to the parser. If the underlying stream does not support seeking, then this attribute will be ignored.

g_mime_parser_get_scan_from ()

gboolean            g_mime_parser_get_scan_from         (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets whether or not parser is set to scan mbox-style From-lines.

g_mime_parser_set_scan_from ()

void                g_mime_parser_set_scan_from         (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         gboolean scan_from);

Sets whether or not parser should scan mbox-style From-lines.

g_mime_parser_get_respect_content_length ()

gboolean            g_mime_parser_get_respect_content_length
                                                        (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets whether or not parser is set to use Content-Length for determining the offset of the end of the message.

g_mime_parser_set_respect_content_length ()

void                g_mime_parser_set_respect_content_length
                                                        (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         gboolean respect_content_length);

Sets whether or not parser should respect Content-Length headers when deciding where to look for the start of the next message. Only used when the parser is also set to scan for From-lines.

Most notably useful when parsing broken Solaris mbox files (See http://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html for details).

g_mime_parser_set_header_regex ()

void                g_mime_parser_set_header_regex      (GMimeParser *parser,
                                                         const char *regex,
                                                         GMimeParserHeaderRegexFunc header_cb,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

Sets the regular expression pattern regex on parser. Whenever a header matching the pattern regex is parsed, header_cb is called with user_data as the user_data argument.

If regex is NULL, then the previously registered regex callback is unregistered and no new callback is set.

g_mime_parser_tell ()

gint64              g_mime_parser_tell                  (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets the current stream offset from the parser's internal stream.

g_mime_parser_eos ()

gboolean            g_mime_parser_eos                   (GMimeParser *parser);

Tests the end-of-stream indicator for parser's internal stream.

g_mime_parser_construct_part ()

GMimeObject *       g_mime_parser_construct_part        (GMimeParser *parser);

Constructs a MIME part from parser.

g_mime_parser_construct_message ()

GMimeMessage *      g_mime_parser_construct_message     (GMimeParser *parser);

Constructs a MIME message from parser.

g_mime_parser_get_from ()

char *              g_mime_parser_get_from              (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets the mbox-style From-line of the most recently parsed message (gotten from g_mime_parser_construct_message()).

g_mime_parser_get_from_offset ()

gint64              g_mime_parser_get_from_offset       (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets the offset of the most recently parsed mbox-style From-line (gotten from g_mime_parser_construct_message()).

g_mime_parser_get_headers_begin ()

gint64              g_mime_parser_get_headers_begin     (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets the stream offset of the beginning of the headers of the most recently parsed message.

g_mime_parser_get_headers_end ()

gint64              g_mime_parser_get_headers_end       (GMimeParser *parser);

Gets the stream offset of the end of the headers of the most recently parsed message.
