public interface CoreFoundation extends Library
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types.

Core Foundation functions have names that indicate when you own a returned object: Object-creation functions have “Create” embedded in the name, and Object-duplication functions that have “Copy” embedded in the name. If you own an object, it is your responsibility to relinquish ownership (using CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef)) when you have finished with it.

If you receive an object from any Core Foundation function other than a creation or copy function—such as a Get function—you do not own it and cannot be certain of the object’s life span. If you want to ensure that such an object is not disposed of while you are using it, you must claim ownership (with the CFRetain(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) function).

    • CFStringCreateWithCharacters

      CoreFoundation.CFStringRef CFStringCreateWithCharacters(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef alloc, char[] chars, CoreFoundation.CFIndex length)
      Creates a string from a buffer of Unicode characters.

      This reference must be released with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

      Parameter:
      alloc - The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new string. Pass null or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
      chars - The buffer of Unicode characters to copy into the new string.
      length - The number of characters in the buffer pointed to by chars. Only this number of characters will be copied to internal storage.
      Gibt zurück:
      An immutable string containing chars, or null if there was a problem creating the object.
    • CFNumberCreate

      Creates a CFNumber object using a specified value.

      This reference must be released with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

      Parameter:
      alloc - The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new object. Pass null or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
      theType - A constant that specifies the data type of the value to convert. The ordinal value of the enum.

      The theType parameter is not necessarily preserved when creating a new CFNumber object. The CFNumber object will be created using whatever internal storage type the creation function deems appropriate. Use the function CFNumberGetType(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFNumberRef) to find out what type the CFNumber object used to store your value.

      valuePtr - A pointer to the value for the returned number object.
      Gibt zurück:
      A new number with the value specified by valuePtr.
    • CFArrayCreate

      CoreFoundation.CFArrayRef CFArrayCreate(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef alloc, Pointer values, CoreFoundation.CFIndex numValues, Pointer callBacks)
      Creates a new immutable array with the given values.

      This reference must be released with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

      Parameter:
      alloc - The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new array and its storage for values. Pass null or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
      values - A C array of the pointer-sized values to be in the new array. The values in the new array are ordered in the same order in which they appear in this C array. This value may be null if numValues is 0. This C array is not changed or freed by this function. If values is not a valid pointer to a C array of at least numValues elements, the behavior is undefined.
      numValues - The number of values to copy from the values C array into the new array. This number will be the count of the new array—it must not be negative or greater than the number of elements in values.
      callBacks - A pointer to a CFArrayCallBacks structure initialized with the callbacks for the array to use on each value in the collection. The retain callback is used within this function, for example, to retain all of the new values from the values C array. A copy of the contents of the callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure on the stack can be passed in or can be reused for multiple collection creations.

      This value may be null, which is treated as if a valid structure of version 0 with all fields null had been passed in.

      Gibt zurück:
      A new immutable array containing numValues from values, or null if there was a problem creating the object.
    • CFDataCreate

      Creates an immutable CFData object using data copied from a specified byte buffer.

      This reference must be released with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

      Parameter:
      alloc - The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new object. Pass null or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
      bytes - A pointer to the byte buffer that contains the raw data to be copied into the Data.
      length - The number of bytes in the buffer (bytes).
      Gibt zurück:
      A new CFData object, or null if there was a problem creating the object.
    • CFDictionaryCreateMutable

      CoreFoundation.CFMutableDictionaryRef CFDictionaryCreateMutable(CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef alloc, CoreFoundation.CFIndex capacity, Pointer keyCallBacks, Pointer valueCallBacks)
      Creates a new mutable dictionary.

      This reference must be released with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

      Parameter:
      alloc - The allocator to use to allocate memory for the new string. Pass null or kCFAllocatorDefault to use the current default allocator.
      capacity - The maximum number of key-value pairs that can be contained by the new dictionary. The dictionary starts empty and can grow to this number of key-value pairs (and it can have less).

      Pass 0 to specify that the maximum capacity is not limited. The value must not be negative.

      keyCallBacks - A pointer to a CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks structure initialized with the callbacks to use to retain, release, describe, and compare keys in the dictionary. A copy of the contents of the callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure on the stack can be passed in or can be reused for multiple collection creations.

      This value may be null, which is treated as a valid structure of version 0 with all fields null.

      valueCallBacks - A pointer to a CFDictionaryValueCallBacks structure initialized with the callbacks to use to retain, release, describe, and compare values in the dictionary. A copy of the contents of the callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure on the stack can be passed in or can be reused for multiple collection creations.

      This value may be null, which is treated as a valid structure of version 0 with all fields null.

      Gibt zurück:
      A new dictionary, or null if there was a problem creating the object.
    • CFCopyDescription

      Returns a textual description of a Core Foundation object.

      The nature of the description differs by object. For example, a description of a CFArray object would include descriptions of each of the elements in the collection.

      You can use this function for debugging Core Foundation objects in your code. Note, however, that the description for a given object may be different in different releases of the operating system. Do not create dependencies in your code on the content or format of the information returned by this function.

      Parameter:
      cf - The CFType object (a generic reference of type CFTypeRef) from which to derive a description.
      Gibt zurück:
      A string that contains a description of cf.
    • CFRelease

      void CFRelease(CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef cf)
      Releases a Core Foundation object.

      If the retain count of cf becomes zero the memory allocated to the object is deallocated and the object is destroyed. If you create, copy, or explicitly retain (see the CFRetain(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) function) a Core Foundation object, you are responsible for releasing it when you no longer need it.

      Parameter:
      cf - A CFType object to release. This value must not be null.
    • CFRetain

      Retains a Core Foundation object. You should retain a Core Foundation object when you receive it from elsewhere (that is, you did not create or copy it) and you want it to persist.

      If you retain a Core Foundation object you are responsible for releasing it with CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef).

      Parameter:
      cf - The CFType object to retain. This value must not be null.
      Gibt zurück:
      The input value, {code cf}.
    • CFGetRetainCount

      Returns the reference count of a Core Foundation object.
      Parameter:
      cf - The CFType object to examine.
      Gibt zurück:
      A number representing the reference count of {code cf}.
    • CFDictionaryGetCount

      Returns the number of key-value pairs in a dictionary.
      Parameter:
      theDict - The dictionary to examine.
      Gibt zurück:
      The number of key-value pairs in theDict.
    • CFDictionaryGetValue

      Pointer CFDictionaryGetValue(CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef theDict, PointerType key)
      Returns the value associated with a given key.
      Parameter:
      theDict - The dictionary to examine.
      key - The key for which to find a match in theDict. The key hash and equal callbacks provided when the dictionary was created are used to compare. If the hash callback was null, the key is treated as a pointer and converted to an integer. If the equal callback was null, pointer equality (in C, ==) is used. If key, or any of the keys in theDict, is not understood by the equal callback, the behavior is undefined.
      Gibt zurück:
      The value associated with key in theDict, or null if no key-value pair matching key exists. Since null is also a valid value in some dictionaries, use CFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef, com.sun.jna.PointerType, com.sun.jna.ptr.PointerByReference) to distinguish between a value that is not found, and a null value.
    • CFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent

      byte CFDictionaryGetValueIfPresent(CoreFoundation.CFDictionaryRef theDict, PointerType key, PointerByReference value)
      Returns a boolean value that indicates whether a given value for a given key is in a dictionary, and returns that value indirectly if it exists.
      Parameter:
      theDict - The dictionary to examine.
      key - The key for which to find a match in theDict. The key hash and equal callbacks provided when the dictionary was created are used to compare. If the hash callback was null, the key is treated as a pointer and converted to an integer. If the equal callback was null, pointer equality (in C, ==) is used. If key, or any of the keys in theDict, is not understood by the equal callback, the behavior is undefined.
      value - A pointer to memory which, on return, is filled with the pointer-sized value if a matching key is found. If no key match is found, the contents of the storage pointed to by this parameter are undefined. This value may be null, in which case the value from the dictionary is not returned (but the return value of this function still indicates whether or not the key-value pair was present).
      Gibt zurück:
      1 if a matching key was found, otherwise 0.
    • CFDictionarySetValue

      void CFDictionarySetValue(CoreFoundation.CFMutableDictionaryRef theDict, PointerType key, PointerType value)
      Sets the value corresponding to a given key.
      Parameter:
      theDict - The dictionary to modify. If this parameter is a fixed-capacity dictionary and it is full before this operation, and the key does not exist in the dictionary, the behavior is undefined.
      key - The key of the value to set in theDict. If a key which matches key is already present in the dictionary, only the value for the key is changed ("add if absent, replace if present"). If no key matches key, the key-value pair is added to the dictionary.

      If a key-value pair is added, both key and value are retained by the dictionary, using the retain callback provided when theDict was created. key must be of the type expected by the key retain callback.

      value - The value to add to or replace in theDict. value is retained using the value retain callback provided when theDict was created, and the previous value if any is released. value must be of the type expected by the retain and release callbacks.

      Copies the character contents of a string to a local C string buffer after converting the characters to a given encoding.
      Parameter:
      theString - The string whose contents you wish to access.
      bufferToFill - The C string buffer into which to copy the string. On return, the buffer contains the converted characters. If there is an error in conversion, the buffer contains only partial results.

      The buffer must be large enough to contain the converted characters and a NUL terminator.

      bufferSize - The length of buffer in bytes.
      encoding - The string encoding to which the character contents of theString should be converted. The encoding must specify an 8-bit encoding.
      Gibt zurück:

    • CFEqual

      Determines whether two Core Foundation objects are considered equal.
      Parameter:
      cf1 - A CFType object to compare to cf2.
      cf2 - A CFType object to compare to cf1.
      Gibt zurück:

    • CFAllocatorGetDefault

      CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef CFAllocatorGetDefault()
      Gets the default allocator object for the current thread.
      Gibt zurück:
      A reference to the default allocator for the current thread. If none has been explicitly set, returns the generic system allocator.
