From 3a0c5378abefaf86aa39a62a7c9682bdb21568a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lasse Collin Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:52:33 +0300 Subject: Docs: Add new example programs. These have more comments than the old examples and human-readable error messages. More tutorial-like examples are needed but these are a start. --- doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c | 297 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 297 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c (limited to 'doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c') diff --git a/doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c b/doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f79cade1 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/examples/01_compress_easy.c @@ -0,0 +1,297 @@ +/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +// +/// \file 01_compress_easy.c +/// \brief Compress from stdin to stdout in multi-call mode +/// +/// Usage: ./01_compress_easy PRESET < INFILE > OUTFILE +/// +/// Example: ./01_compress_easy 6 < foo > foo.xz +// +// Author: Lasse Collin +// +// This file has been put into the public domain. +// You can do whatever you want with this file. +// +/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// + +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include +#include + + +static void +show_usage_and_exit(const char *argv0) +{ + fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s PRESET < INFILE > OUTFILE\n" + "PRESET is a number 0-9 and can optionally be " + "by `e' to indicate extreme preset\n", + argv0); + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); +} + + +static uint32_t +get_preset(int argc, char **argv) +{ + // One argument whose first char must be 0-9. + if (argc != 2 || argv[1][0] < '0' || argv[1][0] > '9') + show_usage_and_exit(argv[0]); + + // Calculate the preste level 0-9. + uint32_t preset = argv[1][0] - '0'; + + // If there is a second char, it must be 'e'.
