+<description>
+<p>Functional, extendible arrays. Arrays can have fixed size, or
+can grow automatically as needed. A default value is used for entries
+that have not been explicitly set.</p>
+
+ <p>Arrays uses <em>zero</em> based indexing. This is a deliberate design
+choice and differs from other erlang datastructures, e.g. tuples.</p>
+
+ <p>Unless specified by the user when the array is created, the default
+ value is the atom <c>undefined</c>. There is no difference between an
+ unset entry and an entry which has been explicitly set to the same
+ value as the default one (cf. <seealso marker="#reset-2">reset/2</seealso>). If you need to
+differentiate between unset and set entries, you must make sure that
+the default value cannot be confused with the values of set entries.</p>
+
+ <p>The array never shrinks automatically; if an index <c>I</c> has been used
+ successfully to set an entry, all indices in the range [0,<c>I</c>] will
+ stay accessible unless the array size is explicitly changed by
+ calling <seealso marker="#resize-2">resize/2</seealso>.</p>
+
+ <p>Examples:
+ </p><pre> %% Create a fixed-size array with entries 0-9 set to 'undefined'
+ A0 = array:new(10).
+ 10 = array:size(A0).
+
+ %% Create an extendible array and set entry 17 to 'true',
+ %% causing the array to grow automatically
+ A1 = array:set(17, true, array:new()).
+ 18 = array:size(A1).
+
+ %% Read back a stored value
+ true = array:get(17, A1).
+
+ %% Accessing an unset entry returns the default value
+ undefined = array:get(3, A1).
+
+ %% Accessing an entry beyond the last set entry also returns the
+ %% default value, if the array does not have fixed size
+ undefined = array:get(18, A1).
+
+ %% "sparse" functions ignore default-valued entries
+ A2 = array:set(4, false, A1).
+ [{4, false}, {17, true}] = array:sparse_to_orddict(A2).
+
+ %% An extendible array can be made fixed-size later
+ A3 = array:fix(A2).
+
+ %% A fixed-size array does not grow automatically and does not
+ %% allow accesses beyond the last set entry
+ {'EXIT',{badarg,_}} = (catch array:set(18, true, A3)).
+ {'EXIT',{badarg,_}} = (catch array:get(18, A3)).</pre></description>

+ <title>Debug Information/Abstract Code</title>
+ <p>The option <c>debug_info</c> can be given to the compiler (see
+ <seealso marker="compiler:compile#debug_info">compile(3)</seealso>)
+ in order to have debug information in the form of abstract code
+ (see <seealso marker="erts:absform">The Abstract Format</seealso>
+ in ERTS User's Guide) stored in the <c>abstract_code</c> chunk.
+ Tools such as Debugger and Xref require the debug information to
+ be included.</p>
+ <warning>
+ <p>Source code can be reconstructed from the debug information.
+ Use encrypted debug information (see below) to prevent this.</p>
+ </warning>
+ <p>The debug information can also be removed from BEAM files
+ using <seealso marker="#strip/1">strip/1</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#strip_files/1">strip_files/1</seealso> and/or
+ <seealso marker="#strip_release/1">strip_release/1</seealso>.</p>
+ <p><em>Reconstructing source code</em></p>
+ <p>Here is an example of how to reconstruct source code from
+ the debug information in a BEAM file <c>Beam</c>:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ {ok,{_,[{abstract_code,{_,AC}}]}} = beam_lib:chunks(Beam,[abstract_code]).
+ io:fwrite("~s~n", [erl_prettypr:format(erl_syntax:form_list(AC))]).</code>
+ <p><em>Encrypted debug information</em></p>
+ <p>The debug information can be encrypted in order to keep
+ the source code secret, but still being able to use tools such as
+ Xref or Debugger. </p>
+ <p>To use encrypted debug information, a key must be provided to
+ the compiler and <c>beam_lib</c>. The key is given as a string and
+ it is recommended that it contains at least 32 characters and
+ that both upper and lower case letters as well as digits and
+ special characters are used.</p>
+ <p></p>
+ <p>The default type -- and currently the only type -- of crypto
+ algorithm is <c>des3_cbc</c>, three rounds of DES. The key string
+ will be scrambled using <c>erlang:md5/1</c> to generate
+ the actual keys used for <c>des3_cbc</c>.</p>
+ <note>
+ <p>As far as we know by the time of writing, it is
+ infeasible to break <c>des3_cbc</c> encryption without any
+ knowledge of the key. Therefore, as long as the key is kept
+ safe and is unguessable, the encrypted debug information
+ <em>should</em> be safe from intruders.</p>
+ </note>
+ <p>There are two ways to provide the key:</p>
+ <list type="ordered">
+ <item>
+ <p>Use the compiler option <c>{debug_info,Key}</c>, see
+ <seealso marker="compiler:compile#debug_info_key">compile(3)</seealso>,
+ and the function
+ <seealso marker="#crypto_key_fun/1">crypto_key_fun/1</seealso>
+ to register a fun which returns the key whenever
+ <c>beam_lib</c> needs to decrypt the debug information.</p>
+ <p>If no such fun is registered, <c>beam_lib</c> will instead
+ search for a <c>.erlang.crypt</c> file, see below.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Store the key in a text file named <c>.erlang.crypt</c>.</p>
+ <p>In this case, the compiler option <c>encrypt_debug_info</c>
+ can be used, see
+ <seealso marker="compiler:compile#encrypt_debug_info">compile(3)</seealso>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p><em>.erlang.crypt</em></p>
+ <p><c>beam_lib</c> searches for <c>.erlang.crypt</c> in the current
+ directory and then the home directory for the current user. If
+ the file is found and contains a key, <c>beam_lib</c> will
+ implicitly create a crypto key fun and register it.</p>
+ <p>The <c>.erlang.crypt</c> file should contain a single list of
+ tuples:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ {debug_info, Mode, Module, Key}</code>
+ <p><c>Mode</c> is the type of crypto algorithm; currently, the only
+ allowed value thus is <c>des3_cbc</c>. <c>Module</c> is either an
+ atom, in which case <c>Key</c> will only be used for the module
+ <c>Module</c>, or <c>[]</c>, in which case <c>Key</c> will be
+ used for all modules. <c>Key</c> is the non-empty key string.</p>
+ <p>The <c>Key</c> in the first tuple where both <c>Mode</c> and
+ <c>Module</c> matches will be used.</p>
+ <p>Here is an example of an <c>.erlang.crypt</c> file that returns
+ the same key for all modules:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+[{debug_info, des3_cbc, [], "%>7}|pc/DM6Cga*68$Mw]L#&_Gejr]G^"}].]]></code>
+ <p>And here is a slightly more complicated example of an
+ <c>.erlang.crypt</c> which provides one key for the module
+ <c>t</c>, and another key for all other modules:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+[{debug_info, des3_cbc, t, "My KEY"},
+ {debug_info, des3_cbc, [], "%>7}|pc/DM6Cga*68$Mw]L#&_Gejr]G^"}].]]></code>
+ <note>
+ <p>Do not use any of the keys in these examples. Use your own
+ keys.</p>
+ </note>
+ </section>
+

+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides computation of local and universal time,
+ day-of-the-week, and several time conversion functions.</p>
+ <p>Time is local when it is adjusted in accordance with the current
+ time zone and daylight saving. Time is universal when it reflects
+ the time at longitude zero, without any adjustment for daylight
+ saving. Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) time is also called
+ Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).</p>
+ <p>The time functions <c>local_time/0</c> and
+ <c>universal_time/0</c> provided in this module both return date
+ and time. The reason for this is that separate functions for date
+ and time may result in a date/time combination which is displaced
+ by 24 hours. This happens if one of the functions is called
+ before midnight, and the other after midnight. This problem also
+ applies to the Erlang BIFs <c>date/0</c> and <c>time/0</c>, and
+ their use is strongly discouraged if a reliable date/time stamp
+ is required.</p>
+ <p>All dates conform to the Gregorian calendar. This calendar was
+ introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 and was used in all
+ Catholic countries from this year. Protestant parts of Germany
+ and the Netherlands adopted it in 1698, England followed in 1752,
+ and Russia in 1918 (the October revolution of 1917 took place in
+ November according to the Gregorian calendar).</p>
+ <p>The Gregorian calendar in this module is extended back to year 0.
+ For a given date, the <em>gregorian days</em> is the number of
+ days up to and including the date specified. Similarly,
+ the <em>gregorian seconds</em> for a given date and time, is
+ the the number of seconds up to and including the specified date
+ and time.</p>
+ <p>For computing differences between epochs in time, use
+ the functions counting gregorian days or seconds. If epochs are
+ given as local time, they must be converted to universal time, in
+ order to get the correct value of the elapsed time between epochs.
+ Use of the function <c>time_difference/2</c> is discouraged.</p>

+ <modulesummary>A Disk Based Term Storage</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The module <c>dets</c> provides a term storage on file. The
+ stored terms, in this module called <em>objects</em>, are tuples
+ such that one element is defined to be the key. A Dets
+ <em>table</em> is a collection of objects with the key at the same
+ position stored on a file.</p>
+ <p>Dets is used by the Mnesia application, and is provided as is
+ for users who are interested in an efficient storage of Erlang
+ terms on disk only. Many applications just need to store some
+ terms in a file. Mnesia adds transactions, queries, and
+ distribution. The size of Dets files cannot exceed 2 GB. If larger
+ tables are needed, Mnesia's table fragmentation can be used.</p>
+ <p>There are three types of Dets tables: set, bag and
+ duplicate_bag. A table of type <em>set</em> has at most one object
+ with a given key. If an object with a key already present in the
+ table is inserted, the existing object is overwritten by the new
+ object. A table of type <em>bag</em> has zero or more different
+ objects with a given key. A table of type <em>duplicate_bag</em>
+ has zero or more possibly matching objects with a given key.</p>
+ <p>Dets tables must be opened before they can be updated or read,
+ and when finished they must be properly closed. If a table has not
+ been properly closed, Dets will automatically repair the table.
+ This can take a substantial time if the table is large. A Dets
+ table is closed when the process which opened the table
+ terminates. If several Erlang processes (users) open the same Dets
+ table, they will share the table. The table is properly closed
+ when all users have either terminated or closed the table. Dets
+ tables are not properly closed if the Erlang runtime system is
+ terminated abnormally.</p>
+ <note>
+ <p>A ^C command abnormally terminates an Erlang runtime
+ system in a Unix environment with a break-handler.</p>
+ </note>
+ <p>Since all operations performed by Dets are disk operations, it
+ is important to realize that a single look-up operation involves a
+ series of disk seek and read operations. For this reason, the Dets
+ functions are much slower than the corresponding Ets functions,
+ although Dets exports a similar interface.</p>
+ <p>Dets organizes data as a linear hash list and the hash list
+ grows gracefully as more data is inserted into the table. Space
+ management on the file is performed by what is called a buddy
+ system. The current implementation keeps the entire buddy system
+ in RAM, which implies that if the table gets heavily fragmented,
+ quite some memory can be used up. The only way to defragment a
+ table is to close it and then open it again with the <c>repair</c>
+ option set to <c>force</c>.</p>
+ <p>It is worth noting that the ordered_set type present in Ets is
+ not yet implemented by Dets, neither is the limited support for
+ concurrent updates which makes a sequence of <c>first</c> and
+ <c>next</c> calls safe to use on fixed Ets tables. Both these
+ features will be implemented by Dets in a future release of
+ Erlang/OTP. Until then, the Mnesia application (or some user
+ implemented method for locking) has to be used to implement safe
+ concurrency. Currently, no library of Erlang/OTP has support for
+ ordered disk based term storage.</p>
+ <p>Two versions of the format used for storing objects on file are
+ supported by Dets. The first version, 8, is the format always used
+ for tables created by OTP R7 and earlier. The second version, 9,
+ is the default version of tables created by OTP R8 (and later OTP
+ releases). OTP R8 can create version 8 tables, and convert version
+ 8 tables to version 9, and vice versa, upon request.
+ </p>
+ <p>All Dets functions return <c>{error, Reason}</c> if an error
+ occurs (<c>first/1</c> and <c>next/2</c> are exceptions, they exit
+ the process with the error tuple). If given badly formed
+ arguments, all functions exit the process with a <c>badarg</c>
+ message.</p>

+ <p>When called with the argument <c>read</c> the function

+ will be unnecessarily fragmented. This holds also for duplicated
+ objects stored in tables of type <c>bag</c>.</p>
+ <p>It is important that the table has a sufficient number of

+ grow when <c>init_table/2</c> returns which will significantly
+ slow down access to the table for a period of time. The

+ <fsummary>Open a Dets table.</fsummary>
+ <type>
+ <v>Name = atom()</v>
+ </type>
+ <desc>
+ <p>Opens a table. An empty Dets table is created if no file
+ exists.</p>
+ <p>The atom <c>Name</c> is the name of the table. The table
+ name must be provided in all subsequent operations on the
+ table. The name can be used by other processes as well, and
+ several process can share one table.
+ </p>
+ <p>If two processes open the same table by giving the same
+ name and arguments, then the table will have two users. If one
+ user closes the table, it still remains open until the second
+ user closes the table.</p>
+ <p>The <c>Args</c> argument is a list of <c>{Key, Val}</c>
+ tuples where the following values are allowed:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{access, access()}</c>. It is possible to open
+ existing tables in read-only mode. A table which is opened
+ in read-only mode is not subjected to the automatic file
+ reparation algorithm if it is later opened after a crash.
+ The default value is <c>read_write</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{auto_save, auto_save()}</c>, the auto save
+ interval. If the interval is an integer <c>Time</c>, the
+ table is flushed to disk whenever it is not accessed for
+ <c>Time</c> milliseconds. A table that has been flushed
+ will require no reparation when reopened after an
+ uncontrolled emulator halt. If the interval is the atom
+ <c>infinity</c>, auto save is disabled. The default value
+ is 180000 (3 minutes).</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{estimated_no_objects, int()}</c>. Equivalent to the
+ <c>min_no_slots</c> option.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{file, file()}</c>, the name of the file to be
+ opened. The default value is the name of the table.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{max_no_slots, no_slots()}</c>, the maximum number
+ of slots that will be used. The default value is 2 M, and
+ the maximal value is 32 M. Note that a higher value may
+ increase the fragmentation of the table, and conversely,
+ that a smaller value may decrease the fragmentation, at
+ the expense of execution time. Only available for version
+ 9 tables.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{min_no_slots, no_slots()}</c>. Application
+ performance can be enhanced with this flag by specifying,
+ when the table is created, the estimated number of
+ different keys that will be stored in the table. The
+ default value as well as the minimum value is 256.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{keypos, keypos()}</c>, the position of the
+ element of each object to be used as key. The default
+ value is 1. The ability to explicitly state the key
+ position is most convenient when we want to store Erlang
+ records in which the first position of the record is the
+ name of the record type.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{ram_file, bool()}</c>, whether the table is to
+ be kept in RAM. Keeping the table in RAM may sound like an
+ anomaly, but can enhance the performance of applications
+ which open a table, insert a set of objects, and then
+ close the table. When the table is closed, its contents
+ are written to the disk file. The default value is
+ <c>false</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{repair, Value}</c>. <c>Value</c> can be either
+ a <c>bool()</c> or the atom <c>force</c>. The flag
+ specifies whether the Dets server should invoke the
+ automatic file reparation algorithm. The default is
+ <c>true</c>. If <c>false</c> is specified, there is no
+ attempt to repair the file and <c>{error, {needs_repair,
+ FileName}}</c> is returned if the table needs to be
+ repaired.</p>
+ <p>The value <c>force</c> means that a reparation will
+ take place even if the table has been properly closed.
+ This is how to convert tables created by older versions of
+ STDLIB. An example is tables hashed with the deprecated
+ <c>erlang:hash/2</c> BIF. Tables created with Dets from a
+ STDLIB version of 1.8.2 and later use the
+ <c>erlang:phash/2</c> function or the
+ <c>erlang:phash2/1</c> function, which is preferred.</p>
+ <p>The <c>repair</c> option is ignored if the table is
+ already open.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{type, type()}</c>, the type of the table. The
+ default value is <c>set</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{version, version()}</c>, the version of the format
+ used for the table. The default value is <c>9</c>. Tables
+ on the format used before OTP R8 can be created by giving
+ the value <c>8</c>. A version 8 table can be converted to
+ a version 9 table by giving the options <c>{version,9}</c>
+ and <c>{repair,force}</c>.</p>

+ <p>This function can be used to restore an opaque continuation
+ returned by <c>select/3</c> or <c>select/1</c> if the
+ continuation has passed through external term format (been
+ sent between nodes or stored on disk).</p>
+ <p>The reason for this function is that continuation terms
+ contain compiled match specifications and therefore will be
+ invalidated if converted to external term format. Given that
+ the original match specification is kept intact, the
+ continuation can be restored, meaning it can once again be
+ used in subsequent <c>select/1</c> calls even though it has
+ been stored on disk or on another node.</p>
+ <p>See also <c>ets(3)</c> for further explanations and
+ examples.
+ </p>
+ <note>
+ <p>This function is very rarely needed in application code. It
+ is used by Mnesia to implement distributed <c>select/3</c>
+ and <c>select/1</c> sequences. A normal application would
+ either use Mnesia or keep the continuation from being
+ converted to external format.</p>
+ <p>The reason for not having an external representation of

+ subject to change in future releases, while this interface
+ will remain for backward compatibility.</p>

+ </p>
+ <p>If several processes fix a table, the table will remain

+ <p>It is not guaranteed that calls to <c>first/1</c>,

+Returns a QLC (Query List
+ Comprehension) query handle. The module <c>qlc</c>
+ implements a query language aimed mainly at Mnesia but Ets
+ tables, Dets tables, and lists are also recognized by <c>qlc</c>
+ as sources of data. Calling <c>dets:table/1,2</c> is the
+ means to make the Dets table <c>Name</c> usable to <c>qlc</c>.</p>
+ <p>When there are only simple restrictions on the key position
+ <c>qlc</c> uses <c>dets:lookup/2</c> to look up the keys, but when
+ that is not possible the whole table is traversed. The
+ option <c>traverse</c> determines how this is done:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">

+ <item>
+ <p><c>select</c>. The table is traversed by calling
+ <c>dets:select/3</c> and <c>dets:select/1</c>. The option
+ <c>n_objects</c> determines the number of objects
+ returned (the third argument of <c>select/3</c>). The
+ match specification (the second argument of
+ <c>select/3</c>) is assembled by <c>qlc</c>: simple filters are
+ translated into equivalent match specifications while
+ more complicated filters have to be applied to all
+ objects returned by <c>select/3</c> given a match
+ specification that matches all objects.</p>
+ </item>

+ the table is traversed by calling <c>dets:select/3</c>

+ match specification is explicitly given. This is how to
+ state match specifications that cannot easily be
+ expressed within the syntax provided by <c>qlc</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The following example uses an explicit match specification
+ to traverse the table:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>dets:open_file(t, []),</input>
+<input>ok = dets:insert(t, [{1,a},{2,b},{3,c},{4,d}]),</input>

+<input>QH1 = dets:table(t, [{traverse, {select, MS}}]).</input> </pre>
+ <p>An example with implicit match specification:</p>
+ <pre>
+2> <input>QH2 = qlc:q([{Y} || {X,Y} &lt;- dets:table(t), (X > 1) or (X &lt; 5)]).</input> </pre>
+ <p>The latter example is in fact equivalent to the former which
+ can be verified using the function <c>qlc:info/1</c>:</p>
+ <pre>
+3> <input>qlc:info(QH1) =:= qlc:info(QH2).</input>
+true </pre>

+ <title>Notes</title>
+ <p>The functions <c>append</c> and <c>append_list</c> are included
+ so we can store keyed values in a list <em>accumulator</em>. For
+ example:</p>
+ <pre>
+> D0 = dict:new(),
+ D1 = dict:store(files, [], D0),
+ D2 = dict:append(files, f1, D1),
+ D3 = dict:append(files, f2, D2),
+ D4 = dict:append(files, f3, D3),
+ dict:fetch(files, D4).
+[f1,f2,f3] </pre>
+ <p>This saves the trouble of first fetching a keyed value,
+ appending a new value to the list of stored values, and storing
+ the result.
+ </p>
+ <p>The function <c>fetch</c> should be used if the key is known to
+ be in the dictionary, otherwise <c>find</c>.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Directed Graphs</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>digraph</c> module implements a version of labeled
+ directed graphs. What makes the graphs implemented here
+ non-proper directed graphs is that multiple edges between
+ vertices are allowed. However, the customary definition of
+ directed graphs will be used in the text that follows.
+ </p>
+ <p>A <marker id="digraph"></marker><em>directed graph</em> (or just
+ "digraph") is a pair (V,&nbsp;E) of a finite set V of
+ <marker id="vertex"></marker><em>vertices</em> and a finite set E of
+ <marker id="edge"></marker><em>directed edges</em> (or just "edges").
+ The set of
+ edges E is a subset of V&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;V (the Cartesian
+ product of V with itself). In this module, V is allowed to be
+ empty; the so obtained unique digraph is called the
+ <marker id="empty_digraph"></marker><em>empty digraph</em>.
+ Both vertices and edges are represented by unique Erlang terms.
+ </p>
+ <p>Digraphs can be annotated with additional information. Such
+ information may be attached to the vertices and to the edges of
+ the digraph. A digraph which has been annotated is called a
+ <em>labeled digraph</em>, and the information attached to a
+ vertex or an edge is called a <marker id="label"></marker>
+ <em>label</em>. Labels are Erlang terms.
+ </p>
+ <p>An edge e&nbsp;=&nbsp;(v,&nbsp;w) is said to
+ <marker id="emanate"></marker><em>emanate</em> from vertex v and
+ to be <marker id="incident"></marker><em>incident</em> on vertex w.
+ The <marker id="out_degree"></marker><em>out-degree</em> of a vertex
+ is the number of edges emanating from that vertex.
+ The <marker id="in_degree"></marker><em>in-degree</em> of a vertex
+ is the number of edges incident on that vertex.
+ If there is an edge emanating from v and incident on w, then w is
+ said to be an <marker id="out_neighbour"></marker>
+ <em>out-neighbour</em> of v, and v is said to be an
+ <marker id="in_neighbour"></marker><em>in-neighbour</em> of w.
+ A <marker id="path"></marker><em>path</em> P from v[1] to v[k]
+ in a digraph (V,&nbsp;E) is a non-empty sequence
+ v[1],&nbsp;v[2],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;v[k] of vertices in V such that
+ there is an edge (v[i],v[i+1]) in E for
+ 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;k.
+ The <marker id="length"></marker><em>length</em> of the path P is k-1.
+ P is <marker id="simple_path"></marker><em>simple</em> if all
+ vertices are distinct, except that the first and the last vertices
+ may be the same.
+ P is a <marker id="cycle"></marker><em>cycle</em> if the length
+ of P is not zero and v[1] = v[k].
+ A <marker id="loop"></marker><em>loop</em> is a cycle of length one.
+ A <marker id="simple_cycle"></marker><em>simple cycle</em> is a path
+ that is both a cycle and simple.
+ An <marker id="acyclic_digraph"></marker><em>acyclic digraph</em>
+ is a digraph that has no cycles.

+ <modulesummary>Algorithms for Directed Graphs</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>digraph_utils</c> module implements some algorithms
+ based on depth-first traversal of directed graphs. See the
+ <c>digraph</c> module for basic functions on directed graphs.
+ </p>
+ <p>A <marker id="digraph"></marker><em>directed graph</em> (or
+ just "digraph") is a pair (V,&nbsp;E) of a finite set V of
+ <marker id="vertex"></marker><em>vertices</em> and a finite set E
+ of <marker id="edge"></marker><em>directed edges</em> (or just
+ "edges"). The set of edges E is a subset of V&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;V
+ (the Cartesian product of V with itself).
+ </p>
+ <p>Digraphs can be annotated with additional information. Such
+ information may be attached to the vertices and to the edges of
+ the digraph. A digraph which has been annotated is called a
+ <em>labeled digraph</em>, and the information attached to a
+ vertex or an edge is called a <marker id="label"></marker>
+ <em>label</em>.</p>
+ <p>An edge e&nbsp;=&nbsp;(v,&nbsp;w) is said
+ to <marker id="emanate"></marker><em>emanate</em> from vertex v and
+ to be <marker id="incident"></marker><em>incident</em> on vertex w.
+ If there is an edge emanating from v and incident on w, then w is
+ said to be
+ an <marker id="out_neighbour"></marker><em>out-neighbour</em> of v,
+ and v is said to be
+ an <marker id="in_neighbour"></marker><em>in-neighbour</em> of w.
+ A <marker id="path"></marker><em>path</em> P from v[1] to v[k] in a
+ digraph (V,&nbsp;E) is a non-empty sequence
+ v[1],&nbsp;v[2],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;v[k] of vertices in V such that
+ there is an edge (v[i],v[i+1]) in E for
+ 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;k.
+ The <marker id="length"></marker><em>length</em> of the path P is k-1.
+ P is a <marker id="cycle"></marker><em>cycle</em> if the length of P
+ is not zero and v[1] = v[k].
+ A <marker id="loop"></marker><em>loop</em> is a cycle of length one.
+ An <marker id="acyclic_digraph"></marker><em>acyclic digraph</em> is
+ a digraph that has no cycles.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>A <marker id="depth_first_traversal"></marker> <em>depth-first
+ traversal</em> of a directed digraph can be viewed as a process
+ that visits all vertices of the digraph. Initially, all vertices
+ are marked as unvisited. The traversal starts with an
+ arbitrarily chosen vertex, which is marked as visited, and
+ follows an edge to an unmarked vertex, marking that vertex. The
+ search then proceeds from that vertex in the same fashion, until
+ there is no edge leading to an unvisited vertex. At that point
+ the process backtracks, and the traversal continues as long as
+ there are unexamined edges. If there remain unvisited vertices
+ when all edges from the first vertex have been examined, some
+ hitherto unvisited vertex is chosen, and the process is
+ repeated.
+ </p>
+ <p>A <marker id="partial_ordering"></marker><em>partial ordering</em> of
+ a set S is a transitive, antisymmetric and reflexive relation
+ between the objects of S. The problem
+ of <marker id="topsort"></marker><em>topological sorting</em> is to
+ find a total
+ ordering of S that is a superset of the partial ordering. A
+ digraph G&nbsp;=&nbsp;(V,&nbsp;E) is equivalent to a relation E
+ on V (we neglect the fact that the version of directed graphs
+ implemented in the <c>digraph</c> module allows multiple edges
+ between vertices). If the digraph has no cycles of length two or
+ more, then the reflexive and transitive closure of E is a
+ partial ordering.
+ </p>
+ <p>A <marker id="subgraph"></marker><em>subgraph</em> G' of G is a
+ digraph whose vertices and edges form subsets of the vertices
+ and edges of G. G' is <em>maximal</em> with respect to a
+ property P if all other subgraphs that include the vertices of
+ G' do not have the property P. A <marker
+ id="strong_components"></marker> <em>strongly connected
+ component</em> is a maximal subgraph such that there is a path
+ between each pair of vertices. A <marker
+ id="components"></marker><em>connected component</em> is a
+ maximal subgraph such that there is a path between each pair of
+ vertices, considering all edges undirected. An <marker
+ id="arborescence"></marker><em>arborescence</em> is an acyclic
+ digraph with a vertex V, the <marker
+ id="root"></marker><em>root</em>, such that there is a unique
+ path from V to every other vertex of G. A <marker
+ id="tree"></marker><em>tree</em> is an acyclic non-empty digraph
+ such that there is a unique path between every pair of vertices,
+ considering all edges undirected.</p>

+ <title>Local Function Handler</title>
+ <p>During evaluation of a function, no calls can be made to local
+ functions. An undefined function error would be
+ generated. However, the optional argument
+ <c>LocalFunctionHandler</c> may be used to define a function
+ which is called when there is a call to a local function. The
+ argument can have the following formats:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>{value,Func}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>This defines a local function handler which is called with:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+Func(Name, Arguments) </code>
+ <p><c>Name</c> is the name of the local function (an atom) and
+ <c>Arguments</c> is a list of the <em>evaluated</em>
+ arguments. The function handler returns the value of the
+ local function. In this case, it is not possible to access
+ the current bindings. To signal an error, the function
+ handler just calls <c>exit/1</c> with a suitable exit value.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>{eval,Func}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>This defines a local function handler which is called with:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+Func(Name, Arguments, Bindings) </code>
+ <p><c>Name</c> is the name of the local function (an atom),
+ <c>Arguments</c> is a list of the <em>unevaluated</em>
+ arguments, and <c>Bindings</c> are the current variable
+ bindings. The function handler returns:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+{value,Value,NewBindings} </code>
+ <p><c>Value</c> is the value of the local function and
+ <c>NewBindings</c> are the updated variable bindings. In
+ this case, the function handler must itself evaluate all the
+ function arguments and manage the bindings. To signal an
+ error, the function handler just calls <c>exit/1</c> with a
+ suitable exit value.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>none</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>There is no local function handler.</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Non-local Function Handler</title>
+ <p>The optional argument <c>NonlocalFunctionHandler</c> may be
+ used to define a function which is called in the following
+ cases: a functional object (fun) is called; a built-in function
+ is called; a function is called using the M:F syntax, where M
+ and F are atoms or expressions; an operator Op/A is called
+ (this is handled as a call to the function <c>erlang:Op/A</c>).
+ Exceptions are calls to <c>erlang:apply/2,3</c>; neither of the
+ function handlers will be called for such calls.
+ The argument can have the following formats:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>{value,Func}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>This defines an nonlocal function handler which is called with:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+Func(FuncSpec, Arguments) </code>
+ <p><c>FuncSpec</c> is the name of the function on the form
+ <c>{Module,Function}</c> or a fun, and <c>Arguments</c> is a
+ list of the <em>evaluated</em> arguments. The function
+ handler returns the value of the function. To
+ signal an error, the function handler just calls
+ <c>exit/1</c> with a suitable exit value.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>none</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>There is no nonlocal function handler.</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <note>
+ <p>For calls such as <c>erlang:apply(Fun, Args)</c> or
+ <c>erlang:apply(Module, Function, Args)</c> the call of the
+ non-local function handler corresponding to the call to
+ <c>erlang:apply/2,3</c> itself--<c>Func({erlang, apply}, [Fun, Args])</c> or <c>Func({erlang, apply}, [Module, Function, Args])</c>--will never take place. The non-local function
+ handler <em>will</em> however be called with the evaluated
+ arguments of the call to <c>erlang:apply/2,3</c>: <c>Func(Fun, Args)</c> or <c>Func({Module, Function}, Args)</c> (assuming
+ that <c>{Module, Function}</c> is not <c>{erlang, apply}</c>).</p>
+ <p>Calls to functions defined by evaluating fun expressions
+ <c>"fun ... end"</c> are also hidden from non-local function
+ handlers.</p> </note>
+ <p>The nonlocal function handler argument is probably not used as
+ frequently as the local function handler argument. A possible
+ use is to call <c>exit/1</c> on calls to functions that for some
+ reason are not allowed to be called.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Bugs</title>
+ <p>The evaluator is not complete. <c>receive</c> cannot be
+ handled properly.
+ </p>
+ <p>Any undocumented functions in <c>erl_eval</c> should not be used.</p>

+ <title>Unknown Expression Hooks</title>
+ <p>The optional argument <c>HookFunction</c>, shown in the functions described above, defines a function which is called when an unknown form occurs where there
+ should be a valid expression. It can have the following formats:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>Function</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The hook function is called by:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+Function(Expr,
+ CurrentIndentation,
+ CurrentPrecedence,
+ HookFunction) </code>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>none</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>There is no hook function</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The called hook function should return a (possibly deep) list
+ of characters. <c>expr/4</c> is useful in a hook.
+ </p>
+ <p>If <c>CurrentIndentation</c> is negative, there will be no line
+ breaks and only a space is used as a separator.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Bugs</title>
+ <p>It should be possible to have hook functions for unknown forms
+ at places other than expressions.</p>

+ coincide, and the token is represented by a two-tuple.
+ Three-tuples have one of the following forms: <c>{atom,

+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>erl_tar</c> module archives and extract files to and from
+ a tar file. The tar file format is the POSIX extended tar file format
+ specified in IEEE Std 1003.1 and ISO/IEC&nbsp;9945-1. That is the same
+ format as used by <c>tar</c> program on Solaris, but is not the same
+ as used by the GNU tar program.</p>
+ <p>By convention, the name of a tar file should end in "<c>.tar</c>".
+ To abide to the convention, you'll need to add "<c>.tar</c>" yourself
+ to the name.</p>
+ <p>Tar files can be created in one operation using the
+ <seealso marker="#create_2">create/2</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#create_3">create/3</seealso> function.</p>
+ <p>Alternatively, for more control, the
+ <seealso marker="#open">open</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#add">add/3,4</seealso>, and
+ <seealso marker="#close">close/1</seealso> functions can be used.</p>
+ <p>To extract all files from a tar file, use the
+ <seealso marker="#extract_1">extract/1</seealso> function.
+ To extract only some files or to be able to specify some more options,
+ use the <seealso marker="#extract_2">extract/2</seealso> function.</p>
+ <p>To return a list of the files in a tar file,
+ use either the <seealso marker="#table_1">table/1</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#table_2">table/2</seealso> function.
+ To print a list of files to the Erlang shell,
+ use either the <seealso marker="#t_1">t/1</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#tt_1">tt/1</seealso> function.</p>
+ <p>To convert an error term returned from one of the functions
+ above to a readable message, use the
+ <seealso marker="#format_error_1">format_error/1</seealso> function.</p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>LIMITATIONS</title>
+ <p>For maximum compatibility, it is safe to archive files with names
+ up to 100 characters in length. Such tar files can generally be
+ extracted by any <c>tar</c> program.</p>
+ <p>If filenames exceed 100 characters in length, the resulting tar
+ file can only be correctly extracted by a POSIX-compatible <c>tar</c>
+ program (such as Solaris <c>tar</c>), not by GNU tar.</p>
+ <p>File have longer names than 256 bytes cannot be stored at all.</p>
+ <p>The filename of the file a symbolic link points is always limited

+ <modulesummary>Built-In Term Storage</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module is an interface to the Erlang built-in term storage
+ BIFs. These provide the ability to store very large quantities of
+ data in an Erlang runtime system, and to have constant access
+ time to the data. (In the case of <c>ordered_set</c>, see below,
+ access time is proportional to the logarithm of the number of
+ objects stored).</p>
+ <p>Data is organized as a set of dynamic tables, which can store
+ tuples. Each table is created by a process. When the process
+ terminates, the table is automatically destroyed. Every table has
+ access rights set at creation.</p>
+ <p>Tables are divided into four different types, <c>set</c>,
+ <c>ordered_set</c>, <c>bag</c> and <c>duplicate_bag</c>.
+ A <c>set</c> or <c>ordered_set</c> table can only have one object
+ associated with each key. A <c>bag</c> or <c>duplicate_bag</c> can
+ have many objects associated with each key.</p>
+ <p>The number of tables stored at one Erlang node is limited.
+ The current default limit is approximately 1400 tables. The upper
+ limit can be increased by setting the environment variable
+ <c>ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES</c> before starting the Erlang runtime
+ system (i.e. with the <c>-env</c> option to
+ <c>erl</c>/<c>werl</c>). The actual limit may be slightly higher
+ than the one specified, but never lower.</p>
+ <p>Note that there is no automatic garbage collection for tables.
+ Even if there are no references to a table from any process, it
+ will not automatically be destroyed unless the owner process
+ terminates. It can be destroyed explicitly by using
+ <c>delete/1</c>.</p>
+ <p>Since R13B01, table ownership can be transferred at process termination
+ by using the <seealso marker="#heir">heir</seealso> option or explicitly
+ by calling <seealso marker="#give_away/3">give_away/3</seealso>.</p>
+ <p>Some implementation details:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>In the current implementation, every object insert and
+ look-up operation results in a copy of the object.</item>
+ <item><c>'$end_of_table'</c> should not be used as a key since
+ this atom is used to mark the end of the table when using
+ <c>first</c>/<c>next</c>.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Also worth noting is the subtle difference between
+ <em>matching</em> and <em>comparing equal</em>, which is
+ demonstrated by the different table types <c>set</c> and
+ <c>ordered_set</c>. Two Erlang terms <c>match</c> if they are of
+ the same type and have the same value, so that <c>1</c> matches
+ <c>1</c>, but not <c>1.0</c> (as <c>1.0</c> is a <c>float()</c>
+ and not an <c>integer()</c>). Two Erlang terms <em>compare equal</em> if they either are of the same type and value, or if
+ both are numeric types and extend to the same value, so that
+ <c>1</c> compares equal to both <c>1</c> and <c>1.0</c>. The
+ <c>ordered_set</c> works on the <em>Erlang term order</em> and
+ there is no defined order between an <c>integer()</c> and a
+ <c>float()</c> that extends to the same value, hence the key
+ <c>1</c> and the key <c>1.0</c> are regarded as equal in an
+ <c>ordered_set</c> table.</p>
+ <p>In general, the functions below will exit with reason
+ <c>badarg</c> if any argument is of the wrong format, or if the
+ table identifier is invalid.</p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section><marker id="concurrency"></marker>
+ <title>Concurrency</title>
+ <p>This module provides some limited support for concurrent access.
+ All updates to single objects are guaranteed to be both <em>atomic</em>
+ and <em>isolated</em>. This means that an updating operation towards
+ a single object will either succeed or fail completely without any
+ effect at all (atomicy).
+ Nor can any intermediate results of the update be seen by other
+ processes (isolation). Some functions that update several objects
+ state that they even guarantee atomicy and isolation for the entire
+ operation. In database terms the isolation level can be seen as
+ "serializable", as if all isolated operations were carried out serially,
+ one after the other in a strict order.</p>
+ <p>No other support is available within ETS that would guarantee
+ consistency between objects. However, the <c>safe_fixtable/2</c>
+ function can be used to guarantee that a sequence of
+ <c>first/1</c> and <c>next/2</c> calls will traverse the table
+ without errors and that each existing object in the table is visited
+ exactly once, even if another process (or the same process)
+ simultaneously deletes or inserts objects into the table.
+ Nothing more is guaranteed; in particular objects that are inserted
+ or deleted during such a traversal may be visited once or not at all.
+ Functions that internally traverse over a table, like <c>select</c>
+ and <c>match</c>, will give the same guarantee as <c>safe_fixtable</c>.</p>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <marker id="match_spec"></marker>
+ <title>Match Specifications</title>
+ <p>Some of the functions uses a <em>match specification</em>,
+ match_spec. A brief explanation is given in

+ description, see the chapter "Match specifications in Erlang" in

+ <desc>
+ <p>Pseudo function that by means of a <c>parse_transform</c>

+ function call to a
+ <seealso marker="#match_spec">match_spec</seealso>. With
+ "literal" is meant that the fun needs to textually be written
+ as the parameter of the function, it cannot be held in a
+ variable which in turn is passed to the function).</p>
+ <p>The parse transform is implemented in the module
+ <c>ms_transform</c> and the source <em>must</em> include the
+ file <c>ms_transform.hrl</c> in <c>stdlib</c> for this
+ pseudo function to work. Failing to include the hrl file in
+ the source will result in a runtime error, not a compile
+ time ditto. The include file is easiest included by adding
+ the line
+ <c>-include_lib("stdlib/include/ms_transform.hrl").</c> to
+ the source file.</p>
+ <p>The fun is very restricted, it can take only a single
+ parameter (the object to match): a sole variable or a
+ tuple. It needs to use the <c>is_</c>XXX guard tests.
+ Language constructs that have no representation
+ in a match_spec (like <c>if</c>, <c>case</c>, <c>receive</c>
+ etc) are not allowed.</p>
+ <p>The return value is the resulting match_spec.</p>
+ <p>Example:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({M,N}) when N > 3 -> M end).</input>
+[{{'$1','$2'},[{'>','$2',3}],['$1']}]</pre>
+ <p>Variables from the environment can be imported, so that this
+ works:</p>
+ <pre>
+2> <input>X=3.</input>
+3
+3> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({M,N}) when N > X -> M end).</input>
+[{{'$1','$2'},[{'>','$2',{const,3}}],['$1']}]</pre>
+ <p>The imported variables will be replaced by match_spec
+ <c>const</c> expressions, which is consistent with the
+ static scoping for Erlang funs. Local or global function
+ calls can not be in the guard or body of the fun however.
+ Calls to builtin match_spec functions of course is allowed:</p>
+ <pre>
+4> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({M,N}) when N > X, is_atomm(M) -> M end).</input>
+Error: fun containing local Erlang function calls
+('is_atomm' called in guard) cannot be translated into match_spec
+{error,transform_error}
+5> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({M,N}) when N > X, is_atom(M) -> M end).</input>
+[{{'$1','$2'},[{'>','$2',{const,3}},{is_atom,'$1'}],['$1']}]</pre>
+ <p>As can be seen by the example, the function can be called
+ from the shell too. The fun needs to be literally in the call
+ when used from the shell as well. Other means than the
+ parse_transform are used in the shell case, but more or less
+ the same restrictions apply (the exception being records,
+ as they are not handled by the shell).</p>
+ <warning>
+ <p>If the parse_transform is not applied to a module which
+ calls this pseudo function, the call will fail in runtime
+ (with a <c>badarg</c>). The module <c>ets</c> actually
+ exports a function with this name, but it should never
+ really be called except for when using the function in the
+ shell. If the <c>parse_transform</c> is properly applied by
+ including the <c>ms_transform.hrl</c> header file, compiled
+ code will never call the function, but the function call is
+ replaced by a literal match_spec.</p>

+ <p>The reason for this function is that continuation terms

+ <note>
+ <p>This function is very rarely needed in application code. It

+ the process releases it by calling
+ <c>safe_fixtable(Tab,false)</c>, or until the process
+ terminates.</p>
+ <p>If several processes fix a table, the table will remain fixed
+ until all processes have released it (or terminated).
+ A reference counter is kept on a per process basis, and N
+ consecutive fixes requires N releases to actually release
+ the table.</p>
+ <p>When a table is fixed, a sequence of <c>first/1</c> and
+ <c>next/2</c> calls are guaranteed to succeed and each object in
+ the table will only be returned once, even if objects
+ are removed or inserted during the traversal.

+ clean_all_with_value(Tab,X,ets:next(Tab,Key)).</code>
+ <p>Note that no deleted objects are actually removed from a

+ <p>Use <c>info/2</c> to retrieve information about which

+ <list type="bulleted">

+ <item>MatchHead = "Pattern as in ets:match"</item>
+ <item>Guard = {"Guardtest name", ...}</item>
+ <item>Result = "Term construct"</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>This means that the match_spec is always a list of one or
+ more tuples (of arity 3). The tuples first element should be
+ a pattern as described in the documentation of
+ <c>ets:match/2</c>. The second element of the tuple should
+ be a list of 0 or more guard tests (described below). The
+ third element of the tuple should be a list containing a
+ description of the value to actually return. In almost all
+ normal cases the list contains exactly one term which fully
+ describes the value to return for each object.</p>
+ <p>The return value is constructed using the "match variables"
+ bound in the MatchHead or using the special match variables
+ <c>'$_'</c> (the whole matching object) and <c>'$$'</c> (all
+ match variables in a list), so that the following
+ <c>ets:match/2</c> expression:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:match(Tab,{'$1','$2','$3'})</code>
+ <p>is exactly equivalent to:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$3'},[],['$$']}])</code>
+ <p>- and the following <c>ets:match_object/2</c> call:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:match_object(Tab,{'$1','$2','$1'})</code>
+ <p>is exactly equivalent to</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$1'},[],['$_']}])</code>
+ <p>Composite terms can be constructed in the <c>Result</c> part
+ either by simply writing a list, so that this code:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$3'},[],['$$']}])</code>
+ <p>gives the same output as:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$3'},[],[['$1','$2','$3']]}])</code>
+ <p>i.e. all the bound variables in the match head as a list. If
+ tuples are to be constructed, one has to write a tuple of
+ arity 1 with the single element in the tuple being the tuple
+ one wants to construct (as an ordinary tuple could be mistaken
+ for a <c>Guard</c>). Therefore the following call:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$1'},[],['$_']}])</code>
+ <p>gives the same output as:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Tab,[{{'$1','$2','$1'},[],[{{'$1','$2','$3'}}]}])</code>
+ <p>- this syntax is equivalent to the syntax used in the trace
+ patterns (see
+ <seealso marker="runtime_tools:dbg">dbg(3)</seealso>).</p>
+ <p>The <c>Guard</c>s are constructed as tuples where the first
+ element is the name of the test and the rest of the elements
+ are the parameters of the test. To check for a specific type
+ (say a list) of the element bound to the match variable
+ <c>'$1'</c>, one would write the test as
+ <c>{is_list, '$1'}</c>. If the test fails, the object in the
+ table will not match and the next <c>MatchFunction</c> (if
+ any) will be tried. Most guard tests present in Erlang can be
+ used, but only the new versions prefixed <c>is_</c> are
+ allowed (like <c>is_float</c>, <c>is_atom</c> etc).</p>
+ <p>The <c>Guard</c> section can also contain logic and
+ arithmetic operations, which are written with the same syntax
+ as the guard tests (prefix notation), so that a guard test
+ written in Erlang looking like this:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+is_integer(X), is_integer(Y), X + Y < 4711]]></code>
+ <p>is expressed like this (X replaced with '$1' and Y with
+ '$2'):</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+[{is_integer, '$1'}, {is_integer, '$2'}, {'<', {'+', '$1', '$2'}, 4711}]]]></code>
+ <p>On tables of the <c>ordered_set</c> type, objects are visited

+Returns a QLC (Query List
+ Comprehension) query handle. The module <c>qlc</c> implements
+ a query language aimed mainly at Mnesia but ETS tables, Dets
+ tables, and lists are also recognized by QLC as sources of
+ data. Calling <c>ets:table/1,2</c> is the means to make the
+ ETS table <c>Tab</c> usable to QLC.</p>
+ <p>When there are only simple restrictions on the key position
+ QLC uses <c>ets:lookup/2</c> to look up the keys, but when
+ that is not possible the whole table is traversed. The
+ option <c>traverse</c> determines how this is done:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>first_next</c>. The table is traversed one key at
+ a time by calling <c>ets:first/1</c> and
+ <c>ets:next/2</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>last_prev</c>. The table is traversed one key at

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>select</c>. The table is traversed by calling
+ <c>ets:select/3</c> and <c>ets:select/1</c>. The option
+ <c>n_objects</c> determines the number of objects
+ returned (the third argument of <c>select/3</c>); the
+ default is to return <c>100</c> objects at a time. The
+ <seealso marker="#match_spec">match_spec</seealso> (the
+ second argument of <c>select/3</c>) is assembled by QLC:
+ simple filters are translated into equivalent match_specs
+ while more complicated filters have to be applied to all
+ objects returned by <c>select/3</c> given a match_spec
+ that matches all objects.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>{select, MatchSpec}</c>. As for <c>select</c>
+ the table is traversed by calling <c>ets:select/3</c> and
+ <c>ets:select/1</c>. The difference is that the
+ match_spec is explicitly given. This is how to state
+ match_specs that cannot easily be expressed within the
+ syntax provided by QLC.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The following example uses an explicit match_spec to

+<input>QH1 = ets:table(Tab, [{traverse, {select, MS}}]).</input></pre>
+ <p>An example with implicit match_spec:</p>
+ <pre>
+10> <input>QH2 = qlc:q([{Y} || {X,Y} &lt;- ets:table(Tab), (X > 1) or (X &lt; 5)]).</input></pre>
+ <p>The latter example is in fact equivalent to the former which

+ <pre>
+11> <input>qlc:info(QH1) =:= qlc:info(QH2).</input>
+true</pre>
+ <p><c>qlc:info/1</c> returns information about a query handle,

+ <description>
+ <p>The functions of this module sort terms on files, merge already
+ sorted files, and check files for sortedness. Chunks containing
+ binary terms are read from a sequence of files, sorted
+ internally in memory and written on temporary files, which are
+ merged producing one sorted file as output. Merging is provided
+ as an optimization; it is faster when the files are already
+ sorted, but it always works to sort instead of merge.
+ </p>
+ <p>On a file, a term is represented by a header and a binary. Two
+ options define the format of terms on files:
+ </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>{header, HeaderLength}</c>. HeaderLength determines the
+ number of bytes preceding each binary and containing the
+ length of the binary in bytes. Default is 4. The order of the
+ header bytes is defined as follows: if <c>B</c> is a binary
+ containing a header only, the size <c>Size</c> of the binary
+ is calculated as
+ <c><![CDATA[<<Size:HeaderLength/unit:8>> = B]]></c>.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{format, Format}</c>. The format determines the
+ function that is applied to binaries in order to create the
+ terms that will be sorted. The default value is
+ <c>binary_term</c>, which is equivalent to
+ <c>fun&nbsp;binary_to_term/1</c>. The value <c>binary</c> is
+ equivalent to <c>fun(X) -> X end</c>, which means that the
+ binaries will be sorted as they are. This is the fastest
+ format. If <c>Format</c> is <c>term</c>, <c>io:read/2</c> is
+ called to read terms. In that case only the default value of
+ the <c>header</c> option is allowed. The <c>format</c> option
+ also determines what is written to the sorted output file: if
+ <c>Format</c> is <c>term</c> then <c>io:format/3</c> is called
+ to write each term, otherwise the binary prefixed by a header
+ is written. Note that the binary written is the same binary
+ that was read; the results of applying the <c>Format</c>
+ function are thrown away as soon as the terms have been
+ sorted. Reading and writing terms using the <c>io</c> module
+ is very much slower than reading and writing binaries.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Other options are:
+ </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>{order, Order}</c>. The default is to sort terms in
+ ascending order, but that can be changed by the value
+ <c>descending</c> or by giving an ordering function <c>Fun</c>.
+ An ordering function is antisymmetric, transitive and total.
+ <c>Fun(A,&nbsp;B)</c> should return <c>true</c> if <c>A</c>
+ comes before <c>B</c> in the ordering, <c>false</c> otherwise.
+ Using an ordering function will slow down the sort
+ considerably. The <c>keysort</c>, <c>keymerge</c> and
+ <c>keycheck</c> functions do not accept ordering functions.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{unique, bool()}</c>. When sorting or merging files,
+ only the first of a sequence of terms that compare equal is
+ output if this option is set to <c>true</c>. The default
+ value is <c>false</c> which implies that all terms that
+ compare equal are output. When checking files for
+ sortedness, a check that no pair of consecutive terms
+ compares equal is done if this option is set to <c>true</c>.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{tmpdir, TempDirectory}</c>. The directory where
+ temporary files are put can be chosen explicitly. The
+ default, implied by the value <c>""</c>, is to put temporary
+ files on the same directory as the sorted output file. If
+ output is a function (see below), the directory returned by
+ <c>file:get_cwd()</c> is used instead. The names of
+ temporary files are derived from the Erlang nodename
+ (<c>node()</c>), the process identifier of the current Erlang
+ emulator (<c>os:getpid()</c>), and a timestamp
+ (<c>erlang:now()</c>); a typical name would be
+ <c>fs_mynode@myhost_1763_1043_337000_266005.17</c>, where
+ <c>17</c> is a sequence number. Existing files will be
+ overwritten. Temporary files are deleted unless some
+ uncaught EXIT signal occurs.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{compressed, bool()}</c>. Temporary files and the
+ output file may be compressed. The default value
+ <c>false</c> implies that written files are not
+ compressed. Regardless of the value of the <c>compressed</c>
+ option, compressed files can always be read. Note that
+ reading and writing compressed files is significantly slower
+ than reading and writing uncompressed files.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{size, Size}</c>. By default approximately 512*1024
+ bytes read from files are sorted internally. This option
+ should rarely be needed.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{no_files, NoFiles}</c>. By default 16 files are
+ merged at a time. This option should rarely be needed.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>To summarize, here is the syntax of the options:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Options = [Option] | Option</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Option = {header, HeaderLength} | {format, Format} | {order, Order} | {unique, bool()} | {tmpdir, TempDirectory} | {compressed, bool()} | {size, Size} | {no_files, NoFiles}</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>HeaderLength = int() > 0</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Format = binary_term | term | binary | FormatFun</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>FormatFun = fun(Binary) -> Term</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Order = ascending | descending | OrderFun</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>OrderFun = fun(Term, Term) -> bool()</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>TempDirectory = "" | file_name()</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Size = int() >= 0</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>NoFiles = int() > 1</c></p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>As an alternative to sorting files, a function of one argument
+ can be given as input. When called with the argument <c>read</c>
+ the function is assumed to return <c>end_of_input</c> or
+ <c>{end_of_input, Value}}</c> when there is no more input
+ (<c>Value</c> is explained below), or <c>{Objects, Fun}</c>,
+ where <c>Objects</c> is a list of binaries or terms depending on
+ the format and <c>Fun</c> is a new input function. Any other
+ value is immediately returned as value of the current call to
+ <c>sort</c> or <c>keysort</c>. Each input function will be
+ called exactly once, and should an error occur, the last
+ function is called with the argument <c>close</c>, the reply of
+ which is ignored.
+ </p>
+ <p>A function of one argument can be given as output. The results
+ of sorting or merging the input is collected in a non-empty
+ sequence of variable length lists of binaries or terms depending
+ on the format. The output function is called with one list at a
+ time, and is assumed to return a new output function. Any other
+ return value is immediately returned as value of the current
+ call to the sort or merge function. Each output function is
+ called exactly once. When some output function has been applied
+ to all of the results or an error occurs, the last function is
+ called with the argument <c>close</c>, and the reply is returned
+ as value of the current call to the sort or merge function. If a
+ function is given as input and the last input function returns
+ <c>{end_of_input, Value}</c>, the function given as output will
+ be called with the argument <c>{value, Value}</c>. This makes it
+ easy to initiate the sequence of output functions with a value
+ calculated by the input functions.
+ </p>
+ <p>As an example, consider sorting the terms on a disk log file.
+ A function that reads chunks from the disk log and returns a
+ list of binaries is used as input. The results are collected in
+ a list of terms.</p>
+ <pre>
+sort(Log) ->
+ {ok, _} = disk_log:open([{name,Log}, {mode,read_only}]),
+ Input = input(Log, start),
+ Output = output([]),
+ Reply = file_sorter:sort(Input, Output, {format,term}),
+ ok = disk_log:close(Log),
+ Reply.
+
+input(Log, Cont) ->
+ fun(close) ->
+ ok;
+ (read) ->
+ case disk_log:chunk(Log, Cont) of
+ {error, Reason} ->
+ {error, Reason};
+ {Cont2, Terms} ->
+ {Terms, input(Log, Cont2)};
+ {Cont2, Terms, _Badbytes} ->
+ {Terms, input(Log, Cont2)};
+ eof ->
+ end_of_input
+ end
+ end.
+
+output(L) ->
+ fun(close) ->
+ lists:append(lists:reverse(L));
+ (Terms) ->
+ output([Terms | L])
+ end. </pre>
+ <p>Further examples of functions as input and output can be found
+ at the end of the <c>file_sorter</c> module; the <c>term</c>
+ format is implemented with functions.
+ </p>
+ <p>The possible values of <c>Reason</c> returned when an error
+ occurs are:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>bad_object</c>, <c>{bad_object, FileName}</c>.
+ Applying the format function failed for some binary,
+ or the key(s) could not be extracted from some term.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>The module <c>filename</c> provides a number of useful functions
+ for analyzing and manipulating file names. These functions are
+ designed so that the Erlang code can work on many different
+ platforms with different formats for file names. With file name
+ is meant all strings that can be used to denote a file. They can
+ be short relative names like <c>foo.erl</c>, very long absolute
+ name which include a drive designator and directory names like
+ <c>D:\\usr/local\\bin\\erl/lib\\tools\\foo.erl</c>, or any variations
+ in between.</p>
+ <p>In Windows, all functions return file names with forward slashes
+ only, even if the arguments contain back slashes. Use
+ <c>join/1</c> to normalize a file name by removing redundant
+ directory separators.</p>

+ <modulesummary>General Balanced Trees</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>An implementation of ordered sets using Prof. Arne Andersson's
+ General Balanced Trees. This can be much more efficient than
+ using ordered lists, for larger sets, but depends on the
+ application.</p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Complexity note</title>
+ <p>The complexity on set operations is bounded by either O(|S|) or
+ O(|T| * log(|S|)), where S is the largest given set, depending
+ on which is fastest for any particular function call. For
+ operating on sets of almost equal size, this implementation is
+ about 3 times slower than using ordered-list sets directly. For
+ sets of very different sizes, however, this solution can be
+ arbitrarily much faster; in practical cases, often between 10
+ and 100 times. This implementation is particularly suited for
+ accumulating elements a few at a time, building up a large set
+ (more than 100-200 elements), and repeatedly testing for
+ membership in the current set.</p>
+ <p>As with normal tree structures, lookup (membership testing),
+ insertion and deletion have logarithmic complexity.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Compatibility</title>
+ <p>All of the following functions in this module also exist
+ and do the same thing in the <c>sets</c> and <c>ordsets</c>
+ modules. That is, by only changing the module name for each call,
+ you can try out different set representations.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>An efficient implementation of Prof. Arne Andersson's General
+ Balanced Trees. These have no storage overhead compared to
+ unbalanced binary trees, and their performance is in general
+ better than AVL trees.</p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Data structure</title>
+ <p>Data structure:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+
+- {Size, Tree}, where `Tree' is composed of nodes of the form:
+ - {Key, Value, Smaller, Bigger}, and the "empty tree" node:
+ - nil.</code>
+ <p>There is no attempt to balance trees after deletions. Since
+ deletions do not increase the height of a tree, this should be OK.</p>
+ <p>Original balance condition <em>h(T) &lt;= ceil(c * log(|T|))</em>
+ has been changed to the similar (but not quite equivalent)
+ condition <em>2 ^ h(T) &lt;= |T| ^ c</em>. This should also be OK.</p>
+ <p>Performance is comparable to the AVL trees in the Erlang book
+ (and faster in general due to less overhead); the difference is
+ that deletion works for these trees, but not for the book's
+ trees. Behaviour is logarithmic (as it should be).</p>

+ <modulesummary>Generic Event Handling Behaviour</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>A behaviour module for implementing event handling functionality.
+ The OTP event handling model consists of a generic event manager
+ process with an arbitrary number of event handlers which are added and
+ deleted dynamically.</p>
+ <p>An event manager implemented using this module will have a standard
+ set of interface functions and include functionality for tracing and
+ error reporting. It will also fit into an OTP supervision tree.
+ Refer to <em>OTP Design Principles</em> for more information.</p>
+ <p>Each event handler is implemented as a callback module exporting
+ a pre-defined set of functions. The relationship between the behaviour
+ functions and the callback functions can be illustrated as follows:</p>
+ <pre>
+gen_event module Callback module
+---------------- ---------------
+gen_event:start_link -----> -
+
+gen_event:add_handler
+gen_event:add_sup_handler -----> Module:init/1
+
+gen_event:notify
+gen_event:sync_notify -----> Module:handle_event/2
+
+gen_event:call -----> Module:handle_call/2
+
+- -----> Module:handle_info/2
+
+gen_event:delete_handler -----> Module:terminate/2
+
+gen_event:swap_handler
+gen_event:swap_sup_handler -----> Module1:terminate/2
+ Module2:init/1
+
+gen_event:which_handlers -----> -
+
+gen_event:stop -----> Module:terminate/2
+
+- -----> Module:code_change/3</pre>
+ <p>Since each event handler is one callback module, an event manager
+ will have several callback modules which are added and deleted
+ dynamically. Therefore <c>gen_event</c> is more tolerant of callback
+ module errors than the other behaviours. If a callback function for
+ an installed event handler fails with <c>Reason</c>, or returns a
+ bad value <c>Term</c>, the event manager will not fail. It will delete
+ the event handler by calling the callback function
+ <c>Module:terminate/2</c> (see below), giving as argument
+ <c>{error,{'EXIT',Reason}}</c> or <c>{error,Term}</c>, respectively.
+ No other event handler will be affected.</p>
+ <p>A gen_event process handles system messages as documented in
+ <seealso marker="sys">sys(3)</seealso>. The <c>sys</c> module
+ can be used for debugging an event manager.</p>
+ <p>Note that an event manager <em>does</em> trap exit signals
+ automatically.</p>
+ <p>The gen_event process can go into hibernation
+ (see <seealso marker="erts:erlang#erlang:hibernate/3">erlang(3)</seealso>) if a callback
+ function in a handler module specifies <c>'hibernate'</c> in its return value.
+ This might be useful if the server is expected to be idle for a long
+ time. However this feature should be used with care as hibernation
+ implies at least two garbage collections (when hibernating and
+ shortly after waking up) and is not something you'd want to do
+ between each event handled by a busy event manager.</p>
+
+ <p>It's also worth noting that when multiple event handlers are
+ invoked, it's sufficient that one single event handler returns a
+ <c>'hibernate'</c> request for the whole event manager to go into
+ hibernation.</p>
+
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module fail if
+ the specified event manager does not exist or if bad arguments are
+ given.</p>

+ <funcs>
+ <func>
+ <name>start_link() -> Result</name>
+ <name>start_link(EventMgrName) -> Result</name>

+ <v>&nbsp;Name = atom()</v>
+ <v>Result = {ok,Pid} | {error,{already_started,Pid}}</v>
+ <v>&nbsp;Pid = pid()</v>
+ </type>
+ <desc>
+ <p>Creates an event manager process as part of a supervision
+ tree. The function should be called, directly or indirectly,
+ by the supervisor. It will, among other things, ensure that
+ the event manager is linked to the supervisor.</p>
+ <p>If <c>EventMgrName={local,Name}</c>, the event manager is
+ registered locally as <c>Name</c> using <c>register/2</c>.
+ If <c>EventMgrName={global,Name}</c>, the event manager is
+ registered globally as <c>Name</c> using
+ <c>global:register_name/2</c>. If no name is provided,
+ the event manager is not registered.</p>
+ <p>If the event manager is successfully created the function
+ returns <c>{ok,Pid}</c>, where <c>Pid</c> is the pid of

+ <modulesummary>Generic Finite State Machine Behaviour</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>A behaviour module for implementing a finite state machine.
+ A generic finite state machine process (gen_fsm) implemented
+ using this module will have a standard set of interface functions
+ and include functionality for tracing and error reporting. It will
+ also fit into an OTP supervision tree. Refer to
+ <seealso marker="doc/design_principles:fsm">OTP Design Principles</seealso> for more information.</p>
+ <p>A gen_fsm assumes all specific parts to be located in a callback
+ module exporting a pre-defined set of functions. The relationship
+ between the behaviour functions and the callback functions can be
+ illustrated as follows:</p>
+ <pre>
+gen_fsm module Callback module
+-------------- ---------------
+gen_fsm:start_link -----> Module:init/1
+
+gen_fsm:send_event -----> Module:StateName/2
+
+gen_fsm:send_all_state_event -----> Module:handle_event/3
+
+gen_fsm:sync_send_event -----> Module:StateName/3
+
+gen_fsm:sync_send_all_state_event -----> Module:handle_sync_event/4
+
+- -----> Module:handle_info/3
+
+- -----> Module:terminate/3
+
+- -----> Module:code_change/4</pre>
+ <p>If a callback function fails or returns a bad value, the gen_fsm
+ will terminate.</p>
+ <p>A gen_fsm handles system messages as documented in
+ <seealso marker="sys">sys(3)</seealso>. The <c>sys</c> module
+ can be used for debugging a gen_fsm.</p>
+ <p>Note that a gen_fsm does not trap exit signals automatically,
+ this must be explicitly initiated in the callback module.</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module fail if
+ the specified gen_fsm does not exist or if bad arguments are
+ given.</p>
+ <p>The gen_fsm process can go into hibernation
+ (see <seealso marker="erts:erlang#erlang:hibernate/3">erlang(3)</seealso>) if a callback
+ function specifies <c>'hibernate'</c> instead of a timeout value. This
+ might be useful if the server is expected to be idle for a long
+ time. However this feature should be used with care as hibernation
+ implies at least two garbage collections (when hibernating and
+ shortly after waking up) and is not something you'd want to do
+ between each call to a busy state machine.</p>

+ <p>Creates a gen_fsm process as part of a supervision tree.
+ The function should be called, directly or indirectly, by

+ <p>The gen_fsm process calls <c>Module:init/1</c> to
+ initialize. To ensure a synchronized start-up procedure,
+ <c>start_link/3,4</c> does not return until
+ <c>Module:init/1</c> has returned.</p>
+ <p>If <c>FsmName={local,Name}</c>, the gen_fsm is registered

+ If <c>FsmName={global,GlobalName}</c>, the gen_fsm is

+ <p><c>Module</c> is the name of the callback module.</p>
+ <p><c>Args</c> is an arbitrary term which is passed as
+ the argument to <c>Module:init/1</c>.</p>
+ <p>If the option <c>{timeout,Time}</c> is present, the gen_fsm
+ is allowed to spend <c>Time</c> milliseconds initializing
+ or it will be terminated and the start function will return
+ <c>{error,timeout}</c>.</p>
+ <p>If the option <c>{debug,Dbgs}</c> is present,
+ the corresponding <c>sys</c> function will be called for each
+ item in <c>Dbgs</c>. See
+ <seealso marker="sys">sys(3)</seealso>.</p>
+ <p>If the option <c>{spawn_opt,SOpts}</c> is present,
+ <c>SOpts</c> will be passed as option list to
+ the <c>spawn_opt</c> BIF which is used to spawn the gen_fsm
+ process. See

+ <note>
+ <p>Using the spawn option <c>monitor</c> is currently not

+ <p>If the gen_fsm is successfully created and initialized
+ the function returns <c>{ok,Pid}</c>, where <c>Pid</c> is

+ the specified <c>FsmName</c>, the function returns
+ <c>{error,{already_started,Pid}}</c> where <c>Pid</c> is
+ the pid of that process.</p>
+ <p>If <c>Module:init/1</c> fails with <c>Reason</c>,
+ the function returns <c>{error,Reason}</c>. If
+ <c>Module:init/1</c> returns <c>{stop,Reason}</c> or

+ returns <c>{error,Reason}</c> or <c>ignore</c>, respectively.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Generic Server Behaviour</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>A behaviour module for implementing the server of a client-server
+ relation. A generic server process (gen_server) implemented using
+ this module will have a standard set of interface functions and
+ include functionality for tracing and error reporting. It will
+ also fit into an OTP supervision tree. Refer to
+ <seealso marker="doc/design_principles:gen_server_concepts">OTP Design Principles</seealso> for more information.</p>
+ <p>A gen_server assumes all specific parts to be located in a
+ callback module exporting a pre-defined set of functions.
+ The relationship between the behaviour functions and the callback
+ functions can be illustrated as follows:</p>
+ <pre>
+gen_server module Callback module
+----------------- ---------------
+gen_server:start_link -----> Module:init/1
+
+gen_server:call
+gen_server:multi_call -----> Module:handle_call/3
+
+gen_server:cast
+gen_server:abcast -----> Module:handle_cast/2
+
+- -----> Module:handle_info/2
+
+- -----> Module:terminate/2
+
+- -----> Module:code_change/3 </pre>
+ <p>If a callback function fails or returns a bad value,
+ the gen_server will terminate.</p>
+ <p>A gen_server handles system messages as documented in
+ <seealso marker="sys">sys(3)</seealso>. The <c>sys</c> module
+ can be used for debugging a gen_server.</p>
+ <p>Note that a gen_server does not trap exit signals automatically,
+ this must be explicitly initiated in the callback module.</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module fail if
+ the specified gen_server does not exist or if bad arguments are
+ given.</p>
+
+ <p>The gen_server process can go into hibernation
+ (see <seealso marker="erts:erlang#erlang:hibernate/3">erlang(3)</seealso>) if a callback
+ function specifies <c>'hibernate'</c> instead of a timeout value. This
+ might be useful if the server is expected to be idle for a long
+ time. However this feature should be used with care as hibernation
+ implies at least two garbage collections (when hibernating and
+ shortly after waking up) and is not something you'd want to do
+ between each call to a busy server.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides an interface to standard Erlang IO servers.
+ The output functions all return <c>ok</c> if they are successful,
+ or exit if they are not.</p>
+ <p>In the following description, all functions have an optional
+ parameter <c>IoDevice</c>. If included, it must be the pid of a
+ process which handles the IO protocols. Normally, it is the
+ <c>IoDevice</c> returned by
+ <seealso marker="kernel:file#open/2">file:open/2</seealso>.</p>
+ <p>For a description of the IO protocols refer to the STDLIB Users Guide.</p>
+ <warning>
+
+ <p>As of R13A, data supplied to the <seealso
+ marker="#put_chars/2">put_chars</seealso> function should be in the
+ <c>chardata()</c> format described below. This means that programs
+ supplying binaries to this function need to convert them to UTF-8
+ before trying to output the data on an
+ <c>io_device()</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>If an io_device() is set in binary mode, the functions <seealso
+ marker="#get_chars/3">get_chars</seealso> and <seealso
+ marker="#get_line/2">get_line</seealso> may return binaries
+ instead of lists. The binaries will, as of R13A, be encoded in
+ UTF-8.</p>
+
+ <p>To work with binaries in ISO-latin-1 encoding, use the <seealso
+ marker="kernel:file">file</seealso> module instead.</p>
+
+ <p>For conversion functions between character encodings, see the <seealso
+ marker="stdlib:unicode">unicode</seealso> module.</p>

+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>binary, list or {binary, bool()}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>If set in binary mode (binary or {binary,true}), the io_server() sends binary data (encoded in UTF-8) as answers to the get_line, get_chars and, if possible, get_until requests (see the I/O protocol description in STDLIB User's Guide for details). The immediate effect is that <c>get_chars/2,3</c> and <c>get_line/1,2</c> return UTF-8 binaries instead of lists of chars for the affected device.</p>
+ <p>By default, all io_devices in OTP are set in list mode, but the io functions can handle any of these modes and so should other, user written, modules behaving as clients to I/O-servers.</p>
+ <p>This option is supported by the standard shell (group.erl), the 'oldshell' (user.erl) and the file I/O servers.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>{echo, bool()}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Denotes if the terminal should echo input. Only supported for the standard shell I/O-server (group.erl)</p>

+ <p>Provide a function for tab-completion (expansion)
+ like the erlang shell. This function is called
+ when the user presses the Tab key. The expansion is
+ active when calling line-reading functions such as
+ <c>get_line/1,2</c>.</p>
+ <p>The function is called with the current line, upto
+ the cursor, as a reversed string. It should return a
+ three-tuple: <c>{yes|no, string(), [string(), ...]}</c>. The
+ first element gives a beep if <c>no</c>, otherwise the
+ expansion is silent, the second is a string that will be
+ entered at the cursor position, and the third is a list of
+ possible expansions. If this list is non-empty, the list
+ will be printed and the current input line will be written
+ once again.</p>
+ <p>Trivial example (beep on anything except empty line, which
+ is expanded to "quit"):</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ fun("") -> {yes, "quit", []};

+ <item>
+ <p>Specifies how characters are input or output from or to the actual device, implying that i.e. a terminal is set to handle Unicode input and output or a file is set to handle UTF-8 data encoding.</p>
+ <p>The option <em>does not</em> affect how data is returned from the io-functions or how it is sent in the I/O-protocol, it only affects how the io_device() is to handle Unicode characters towards the &quot;physical&quot; device.</p>
+ <p>The standard shell will be set for either unicode or latin1 encoding when the system is started. The actual encoding is set with the help of the "LANG" or "LC_CTYPE" environment variables on Unix-like system or by other means on other systems. The bottom line is that the user can input Unicode characters and the device will be in {encoding, unicode} mode if the device supports it. The mode can be changed, if the assumption of the runtime system is wrong, by setting this option.</p>
+ <p>The io_device() used when Erlang is started with the "-oldshell" or "-noshell" flags is by default set to latin1 encoding, meaning that any characters beyond codepoint 255 will be escaped and that input is expected to be plain 8-bit ISO-latin-1. If the encoding is changed to Unicode, input and output from the standard file descriptors will be in UTF-8 (regardless of operating system).</p>
+ <p>Files can also be set in {encoding, unicode}, meaning that data is written and read as UTF-8. More encodings are possible for files, see below.</p>
+ <p>{encoding, unicode | latin1} is supported by both the standard shell (group.erl including werl on windows), the 'oldshell' (user.erl) and the file I/O servers.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>{encoding, utf8 | utf16 | utf32 | {utf16,big} | {utf16,little} | {utf32,big} | {utf32,little}}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>For disk files, the encoding can be set to various UTF variants. This will have the effect that data is expected to be read as the specified encoding from the file and the data will be written in the specified encoding to the disk file.</p>
+ <p>{encoding, utf8} will have the same effect as {encoding,unicode} on files.</p>

+ <p>The general format of a control sequence is <c>~F.P.PadModC</c>.
+ The character <c>C</c> determines the type of control sequence
+ to be used, <c>F</c> and <c>P</c> are optional numeric
+ arguments. If <c>F</c>, <c>P</c>, or <c>Pad</c> is <c>*</c>,
+ the next argument in <c>Data</c> is used as the numeric value
+ of <c>F</c> or <c>P</c>.</p>
+ <p><c>F</c> is the <c>field width</c> of the printed argument. A
+ negative value means that the argument will be left justified
+ within the field, otherwise it will be right justified. If no
+ field width is specified, the required print width will be
+ used. If the field width specified is too small, then the
+ whole field will be filled with <c>*</c> characters.</p>
+ <p><c>P</c> is the <c>precision</c> of the printed argument. A
+ default value is used if no precision is specified. The
+ interpretation of precision depends on the control sequences.
+ Unless otherwise specified, the argument <c>within</c> is used
+ to determine print width.</p>
+ <p><c>Pad</c> is the padding character. This is the character
+ used to pad the printed representation of the argument so that
+ it conforms to the specified field width and precision. Only
+ one padding character can be specified and, whenever
+ applicable, it is used for both the field width and precision.
+ The default padding character is <c>' '</c> (space).</p>
+ <p><c>Mod</c> is the control sequence modifier. It is either a
+ single character (currently only 't', for unicode translation,
+ is supported) that changes the interpretation of Data.</p>
+
+ <p>The following control sequences are available:</p>
+ <taglist>

+ <item>
+ <p>The character <c>~</c> is written.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>c</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The argument is a number that will be interpreted as an
+ ASCII code. The precision is the number of times the
+ character is printed and it defaults to the field width,
+ which in turn defaults to 1. The following example
+ illustrates:</p>
+ <pre>
+2> <input>io:fwrite("|~10.5c|~-10.5c|~5c|~n", [$a, $b, $c]).</input>
+| aaaaa|bbbbb |ccccc|

+ <p>If the Unicode translation modifier ('t') is in effect,
+ the integer argument can be any number representing a
+ valid unicode codepoint, otherwise it should be an integer
+ less than or equal to 255, otherwise it is masked with 16#FF:</p>
+<pre>

+ <tag><c>e</c></tag>

+ <p>The argument is a float which is written as

+ </item>
+ <tag><c>g</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The argument is a float which is written as <c>f</c>, if
+ it is &gt;= 0.1 and &lt; 10000.0. Otherwise, it is written
+ in the <c>e</c> format. The precision is the number of

+ <title>Standard Input/Output</title>
+ <p>All Erlang processes have a default standard IO device. This
+ device is used when no <c>IoDevice</c> argument is specified in
+ the above function calls. However, it is sometimes desirable to
+ use an explicit <c>IoDevice</c> argument which refers to the
+ default IO device. This is the case with functions that can
+ access either a file or the default IO device. The atom
+ <c>standard_io</c> has this special meaning. The following example
+ illustrates this:</p>
+ <pre>
+27> <input>io:read('enter>').</input>
+enter><input>foo.</input>
+{ok,foo}
+28> <input>io:read(standard_io, 'enter>').</input>
+enter><input>bar.</input>
+{ok,bar}</pre>
+ <p>There is always a process registered under the name of
+ <c>user</c>. This can be used for sending output to the user.</p>
+ </section>
+ <section>
+ <title>Standard Error</title>
+ <p>In certain situations, especially when the standard output is redirected, access to an io_server() specific for error messages might be convenient. The io_device 'standard_error' can be used to direct output to whatever the current operating system considers a suitable device for error output. Example on a Unix-like operating system:</p>
+<pre>
+$ <input>erl -noshell -noinput -eval 'io:format(standard_error,"Error: ~s~n",["error 11"]),init:stop().' > /dev/null</input>
+Error: error 11</pre>
+
+
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Error Information</title>
+ <p>The <c>ErrorInfo</c> mentioned above is the standard
+ <c>ErrorInfo</c> structure which is returned from all IO modules.
+ It has the format:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+{ErrorLine, Module, ErrorDescriptor}</code>
+ <p>A string which describes the error is obtained with the following
+ call:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+apply(Module, format_error, ErrorDescriptor)</code>

+<p>The I/O-protocol in Erlang specifies a way for a client to communicate
+with an io_server and vice versa. The io_server is a process handling the
+requests and that performs the requested task on i.e. a device. The
+client is any Erlang process wishing to read or write data from/to the
+device.</p>
+
+<p>The common I/O-protocol has been present in OTP since the
+beginning, but has been fairly undocumented and has also somewhat
+evolved over the years. In an addendum to Robert Virdings rationale
+the original I/O-protocol is described. This document describes the
+current I/O-protocol.</p>
+
+<p>The original I/O-protocol was simple and flexible. Demands for spacial
+and execution time efficiency has triggered extensions to the protocol
+over the years, making the protocol larger and somewhat less easy to
+implement than the original. It can certainly be argumented that the
+current protocol is to complex, but this text describes how it looks
+today, not how it should have looked.</p>
+
+<p>The basic ideas from the original protocol still holds. The io_server
+and client communicate with one single, rather simplistic protocol and
+no server state is ever present in the client. Any io_server can be
+used together with any client code and client code need not be aware
+of the actual device the io_server communicates with.</p>
+
+<section>
+<title>Protocol basics</title>
+
+<p>As described in Roberts paper, servers and clients communicate using
+io_request/io_reply tuples as follows:</p>
+
+<p><em>{io_request, From, ReplyAs, Request}</em><br/>
+<em>{io_reply, ReplyAs, Reply}</em></p>
+
+<p>The client sends an io_request to the io_server and the server
+eventually sends a corresponding reply.</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>From is the pid() of the client, the process which the io_server
+sends the reply to.</item>
+
+<item>ReplyAs can be any datum and is simply returned in the corresponding
+io_reply. The io-module in the Erlang standard library simply uses the pid()
+of the io_server as the ReplyAs datum, but a more complicated client
+could have several outstanding io-requests to the same server and
+would then use i.e. a ref() or something else to differentiate among
+the incoming io_reply's. The ReplyAs element should be considered
+opaque by the io_server. Note that the pid() of the server is not
+explicitly present in the io_reply. The reply can be sent from any
+process, not necessarily the actual io_server. The ReplyAs element is
+the only thing that connects one io_request with an io_reply.</item>
+
+<item>Request and Reply are described below.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>When an io_server receives an io_request, it acts upon the actual
+Request part and eventually sends an io_reply with the corresponding
+Reply part.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Output requests</title>
+
+<p>To output characters on a device, the following Requests exist:</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>{put_chars, Encoding, Characters}</em><br/>
+<em>{put_chars, Encoding, Module, Function, Args}</em>
+</p>
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Encoding is either 'latin1' or 'unicode', meaning that the
+ characters are (in case of binaries) encoded as either UTF-8 or
+ iso-latin-1 (pure bytes). A well behaved io_server should also
+ return error if list elements contain integers > 255 when the
+ Encoding is set to latin1. Note that this does not in any way tell
+ how characters should be put on the actual device or how the
+ io_server should handle them. Different io_servers may handle the
+ characters however they want, this simply tells the io_server which
+ format the data is expected to have. In the Module/Function/argument
+ case, the Encoding tells which format the designated function
+ produces. Note that byte-oriented data is simplest sent using latin1
+ Encoding</item>
+
+<item>Characters are the data to be put on the device. If encoding is
+ latin1, this is an iolist(). If encoding is unicode, this is an
+ Erlang standard mixed unicode list (one integer in a list per
+ character, characters in binaries represented as UTF-8).</item>
+
+<item>Module, Function, Args denotes a function which will be called to
+ produce the data (like io_lib:format), Args is a list of arguments
+ to the function. The function should produce data in the given
+ Encoding. The io_server should call the function as apply(Mod, Func,
+ Args) and will put the returned data on the device as if it was sent
+ in a {put_chars, Encoding, Characters} request. If the function
+ returns anything else than a binary or list or throws an exception,
+ an error should be sent back to the client.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>The server replies to the client with an io_reply where the Reply
+element is one of:</p>
+<p>
+<em>ok</em><br/>
+<em>{error, Error}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Error describes the error to the client, which may do whatever it
+ wants with it. The Erlang io-module typically returns it as is.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>For backward compatibility the following Requests should also be
+handled by an io_server (these messages should not be present after
+R15B of OTP):</p>
+<p>
+<em>{put_chars, Characters}</em><br/>
+<em>{put_chars, Module, Function, Args}</em>
+</p>
+
+<p>These should behave as {put_chars, latin1, Characters} and {put_chars,
+latin1, Module, Function, Args} respectively. </p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Input Requests</title>
+
+<p>To read characters from a device, the following Requests exist:</p>
+
+<p><em>{get_until, Encoding, Prompt, Module, Function, ExtraArgs}</em></p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Encoding denotes how data is to be sent back to the client and
+ what data is sent to the function denoted by
+ Module/Function/Arity. If the function supplied returns data as a
+ list, the data is converted to this encoding. If however the
+ function supplied returns data in some other format, no conversion
+ can be done and it's up to the client supplied function to return
+ data in a proper way. If Encoding is latin1, lists of integers
+ 0..255 or binaries containing plain bytes are sent back to the
+ client when possible, if Encoding is unicode, lists with integers in
+ the whole unicode range or binaries encoded in UTF-8 are sent to the
+ client. The user supplied function will always see lists of integers, never
+ binaries, but the list may contain numbers > 255 if the Encoding is
+ 'unicode'.</item>
+
+<item>Prompt is a list of characters (not mixed, no binaries) or an atom()
+ to be output as a prompt for input on the device. The Prompt is
+ often ignored by the io_server and a Prompt set to '' should always
+ be ignored (and result in nothing being written to the device). </item>
+
+<item><p>Module, Function, ExtraArgs denotes a function and arguments to
+ determine when enough data is written. The function should take two
+ additional arguments, the last state, and a list of characters. The
+ function should return one of:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{done, Result, RestChars}</em><br/>
+<em>{more, Continuation}</em>
+</p>
+ <p>The Result can be any Erlang term, but if it is a list(), the
+ io_server may convert it to a binary() of appropriate format before
+ returning it to the client, if the server is set in binary mode (see
+ below).</p>
+
+ <p>The function will be called with the data the io_server finds on
+ it's device, returning {done, Result, RestChars} when enough data is
+ read (in which case Result is sent to the client and RestChars are
+ kept in the io_server as a buffer for subsequent input) or {more,
+ Continuation}, indicating that more characters are needed to
+ complete the request. The Continuation will be sent as the state in
+ subsequent calls to the function when more characters are
+ available. When no more characters are available, the function
+ shall return {done,eof,Rest}.
+ The initial state is the empty list and the data when an
+ end of file is reached on the device is the atom 'eof'. An emulation
+ of the get_line request could be (inefficiently) implemented using
+ the following functions:</p>
+<code>
+-module(demo).
+-export([until_newline/3, get_line/1]).
+
+until_newline(_ThisFar,eof,_MyStopCharacter) -&gt;
+ {done,eof,[]};
+until_newline(ThisFar,CharList,MyStopCharacter) -&gt;
+ case lists:splitwith(fun(X) -&gt; X =/= MyStopCharacter end, CharList) of
+ {L,[]} -&gt;
+ {more,ThisFar++L};
+ {L2,[MyStopCharacter|Rest]} -&gt;
+ {done,ThisFar++L2++[MyStopCharacter],Rest}
+ end.
+
+get_line(IoServer) -&gt;
+ IoServer ! {io_request, self(), IoServer, {get_until, unicode, '',
+ ?MODULE, until_newline, [$\n]}},
+ receive
+ {io_reply, IoServer, Data} -&gt;
+ Data
+ end.
+</code>
+ <p>Note especially that the last element in the Request tuple ([$\n])
+ is appended to the argument list when the function is called. The
+ function should be called like
+ apply(Module, Function, [ State, Data | ExtraArgs ]) by the io_server</p>
+</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>A defined number of characters is requested using this Request:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{get_chars, Encoding, Prompt, N}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Encoding and Prompt as for get_until.</item>
+
+<item>N is the number of characters to be read from the device.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>A single line (like in the example above) is requested with this Request:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{get_line, Encoding, Prompt}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Encoding and prompt as above.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>Obviously, get_chars and get_line could be implemented with the
+get_until request (and indeed was originally), but demands for
+efficiency has made these additions necessary.</p>
+
+<p>The server replies to the client with an io_reply where the Reply
+element is one of:</p>
+<p>
+<em>Data</em><br/>
+<em>eof</em><br/>
+<em>{error, Error}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Data is the characters read, in either list or binary form
+ (depending on the io_server mode, see below).</item>
+<item>Error describes the error to the client, which may do whatever it
+ wants with it. The Erlang io-module typically returns it as is.</item>
+<item>eof is returned when input end is reached and no more data is
+available to the client process.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>For backward compatibility the following Requests should also be

+
+<p>
+<em>{get_until, Prompt, Module, Function, ExtraArgs}</em><br/>
+<em>{get_chars, Prompt, N}</em><br/>
+<em>{get_line, Prompt}</em><br/>
+</p>
+
+<p>These should behave as {get_until, latin1, Prompt, Module, Function,
+ExtraArgs}, {get_chars, latin1, Prompt, N} and {get_line, latin1,
+Prompt} respectively.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>I/O-server modes</title>
+
+<p>Demands for efficiency when reading data from an io_server has not
+only lead to the addition of the get_line and get_chars requests, but
+has also added the concept of io_server options. No options are
+mandatory to implement, but all io_servers in the Erlang standard
+libraries honor the 'binary' option, which allows the Data in the
+io_reply to be binary instead of in list form <em>when possible</em>.
+If the data is sent as a binary, Unicode data will be sent in the
+standard Erlang unicode
+format, i.e. UTF-8 (note that the function in get_until still gets
+list data regardless of the io_server mode).</p>
+
+<p>Note that i.e. the <c>get_until</c> request allows for a function with the data specified as always being a list. Also the return value data from such a function can be of any type (as is indeed the case when an io:fread request is sent to an io_server). The client has to be prepared for data received as answers to those requests to be in a variety of forms, but the server should convert the results to binaries whenever possible (i.e. when the function supplied to get_until actually returns a list). The example shown later in this text does just that.</p>
+
+<p>An I/O-server in binary mode will affect the data sent to the client,
+so that it has to be able to handle binary data. For convenience, it
+is possible to set and retrieve the modes of an io_server using the
+following I/O-requests:</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>{setopts, Opts}</em>
+</p>
+
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Opts is a list of options in the format recognized by proplists (and
+ of course by the io_server itself).</item>
+</list>
+<p>As an example, the io_server for the interactive shell (in group.erl)
+understands the following options:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{binary, bool()} (or 'binary'/'list')</em><br/>
+<em>{echo, bool()}</em><br/>
+<em>{expand_fun, fun()}</em><br/>
+<em>{encoding, 'unicode'/'latin1'} (or 'unicode'/'latin1')</em>
+</p>
+
+<p>- of which the 'binary' and 'encoding' options are common for all
+io_servers in OTP, while 'echo' and 'expand' is valid only for this
+io_server. It's worth noting that the 'unicode' option notifies how
+characters are actually put on the physical device, i.e. if the
+terminal per se is unicode aware, it does not affect how characters
+are sent in the I/O-protocol, where each request contains encoding
+information for the provided or returned data.</p>
+
+<p>The server should send one of the following as Reply:</p>
+<p>
+<em>ok</em><br/>
+<em>{error, Error}</em>
+</p>
+
+<p>An error (preferably enotsup) is to be expected if the option is
+not supported by the io_server (like if an 'echo' option is sent in a
+setopt Request to a plain file).</p>
+
+<p>To retrieve options, this message is used:</p>
+<p>
+<em>getopts</em>
+</p>
+
+<p>The 'getopts' message requests a complete list of all options
+supported by the io_server as well as their current values.</p>
+
+<p>The server replies:</p>
+<p>
+<em>OptList</em><br/>
+<em>{error,Error}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>OptList is a list of tuples {Option, Value} where Option is always
+ an atom.</item>
+</list>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Multiple I/O requests</title>
+
+<p>The Request element can in itself contain several Requests by using
+the following format:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{requests, Requests}</em>
+</p>
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Requests is a list of valid Request tuples for the protocol, they
+ shall be executed in the order in which they appear in the list and
+ the execution should continue until one of the requests result in an

+ sent back to the client.</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>The server can for a list of requests send any of the valid results in
+the reply:</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>ok</em><br/>
+<em>{ok, Data}</em><br/>
+<em>{ok, Options}</em><br/>
+<em>{error, Error}</em>
+</p>
+<p>- depending on the actual requests in the list.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Optional I/O-requests</title>
+
+<p>The following I/O request is optional to implement and a client
+should be prepared for an error return:</p>
+<p>
+<em>{get_geometry, Geometry}</em>
+</p>
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>Geometry is either the atom 'rows' or the atom 'columns'.</item>

+<p>
+<em>{ok, N}</em><br/>
+<em>{error, Error}</em>
+</p>
+
+<list type="bulleted">
+<item>N is the number of character rows or columns the device has, if
+ applicable to the device the io_server handles, otherwise {error,

+<title>Unimplemented request types:</title>
+
+<p>If an io_server encounters a request it does not recognize (i.e. the
+io_request tuple is in the expected format, but the actual Request is
+unknown), the server should send a valid reply with the error tuple:</p>

+<title>An annotated and working example io_server:</title>
+
+<p>An io_server is any process capable of handling the protocol. There is
+no generic io_server behavior, but could well be. The framework is
+simple enough, a process handling incoming requests, usually both
+io_requests and other device-specific requests (for i.e. positioning ,
+closing etc.).</p>
+
+<p>Our example io_server stores characters in an ets table, making up a
+fairly crude ram-file (it is probably not useful, but working).</p>
+
+<p>The module begins with the usual directives, a function to start the
+server and a main loop handling the requests:</p>
+
+<code>
+-module(ets_io_server).
+
+-export([start_link/0, init/0, loop/1, until_newline/3, until_enough/3]).
+
+-define(CHARS_PER_REC, 10).
+
+-record(state, {
+ table,
+ position, % absolute
+ mode % binary | list
+ }).
+
+start_link() -&gt;
+ spawn_link(?MODULE,init,[]).
+
+init() -&gt;
+ Table = ets:new(noname,[ordered_set]),
+ ?MODULE:loop(#state{table = Table, position = 0, mode=list}).
+
+loop(State) -&gt;
+ receive
+ {io_request, From, ReplyAs, Request} -&gt;
+ case request(Request,State) of
+ {Tag, Reply, NewState} when Tag =:= ok; Tag =:= error -&gt;
+ reply(From, ReplyAs, Reply),
+ ?MODULE:loop(NewState);
+ {stop, Reply, _NewState} -&gt;
+ reply(From, ReplyAs, Reply),
+ exit(Reply)
+ end;
+ %% Private message
+ {From, rewind} -&gt;
+ From ! {self(), ok},
+ ?MODULE:loop(State#state{position = 0});
+ _Unknown -&gt;
+ ?MODULE:loop(State)
+ end.
+</code>
+
+<p>The main loop receives messages from the client (which might be using
+the io-module to send requests). For each request the function
+request/2 is called and a reply is eventually sent using the reply/3
+function.</p>
+
+<p>The &quot;private&quot; message {From, rewind} results in the
+current position in the pseudo-file to be reset to 0 (the beginning of
+the &quot;file&quot;). This is a typical example of device-specific
+messages not being part of the I/O-protocol. It is usually a bad idea
+to embed such private messages in io_request tuples, as that might be
+confusing to the reader.</p>
+
+<p>Let's look at the reply function first...</p>
+
+<code>
+
+reply(From, ReplyAs, Reply) -&gt;
+ From ! {io_reply, ReplyAs, Reply}.
+
+</code>
+
+<p>Simple enough, it sends the io_reply tuple back to the client,
+providing the ReplyAs element received in the request along with the
+result of the request, as described above.</p>
+
+<p>Now look at the different requests we need to handle. First the
+requests for writing characters:</p>
+
+<code>
+request({put_chars, Encoding, Chars}, State) -&gt;
+ put_chars(unicode:characters_to_list(Chars,Encoding),State);
+request({put_chars, Encoding, Module, Function, Args}, State) -&gt;
+ try
+ request({put_chars, Encoding, apply(Module, Function, Args)}, State)
+ catch
+ _:_ -&gt;
+ {error, {error,Function}, State}
+ end;
+</code>
+
+<p>The Encoding tells us how the characters in the message are
+represented. We want to store the characters as lists in the
+ets-table, so we convert them to lists using the
+unicode:characters_to_list/2 function. The conversion function
+conveniently accepts the encoding types unicode or latin1, so we can
+use the Encoding parameter directly.</p>
+
+<p>When Module, Function and Arguments are provided, we simply apply it
+and do the same thing with the result as if the data was provided
+directly.</p>
+
+<p>Let's handle the requests for retrieving data too:</p>
+
+<code>
+request({get_until, Encoding, _Prompt, M, F, As}, State) -&gt;
+ get_until(Encoding, M, F, As, State);
+request({get_chars, Encoding, _Prompt, N}, State) -&gt;
+ %% To simplify the code, get_chars is implemented using get_until
+ get_until(Encoding, ?MODULE, until_enough, [N], State);
+request({get_line, Encoding, _Prompt}, State) -&gt;
+ %% To simplify the code, get_line is implemented using get_until
+ get_until(Encoding, ?MODULE, until_newline, [$\\n], State);
+</code>
+
+<p>Here we have cheated a little by more or less only implementing
+get_until and using internal helpers to implement get__chars and
+get_line. In production code, this might be to inefficient, but that
+of course depends on the frequency of the different requests. Before
+we start actually implementing the functions put_chars/2 and
+get_until/5, lets look into the few remaining requests:</p>
+
+<code>
+request({get_geometry,_}, State) -&gt;
+ {error, {error,enotsup}, State};
+request({setopts, Opts}, State) -&gt;
+ setopts(Opts, State);
+request(getopts, State) -&gt;
+ getopts(State);
+request({requests, Reqs}, State) -&gt;
+ multi_request(Reqs, {ok, ok, State});
+</code>
+
+<p>The get_geometry request has no meaning for this io_server, so the
+reply will be {error, enotsup}. The only option we handle is the
+binary/list option, which is done in separate functions.</p>
+
+<p>The multi-request tag (requests) is handled in a separate loop
+function applying the requests in the list one after another,
+returning the last result.</p>
+
+<p>What's left is to handle backward compatibility and the file-module
+(which uses the old requests until backward compatibility with pre-R13
+nodes is no longer needed). Note that the io_server will not work with
+a simple file:write if these are not added:</p>
+
+<code>
+request({put_chars,Chars}, State) -&gt;
+ request({put_chars,latin1,Chars}, State);
+request({put_chars,M,F,As}, State) -&gt;
+ request({put_chars,latin1,M,F,As}, State);
+request({get_chars,Prompt,N}, State) -&gt;
+ request({get_chars,latin1,Prompt,N}, State);
+request({get_line,Prompt}, State) -&gt;
+ request({get_line,latin1,Prompt}, State);
+request({get_until, Prompt,M,F,As}, State) -&gt;
+ request({get_until,latin1,Prompt,M,F,As}, State);
+</code>
+
+<p>Ok, what's left now is to return {error, request} if the request is
+not recognized:</p>
+
+<code>
+request(_Other, State) -&gt;
+ {error, {error, request}, State}.
+</code>
+
+<p>Let's move further and actually handle the different requests, first
+the fairly generic multi-request type:</p>
+
+<code>
+multi_request([R|Rs], {ok, _Res, State}) -&gt;
+ multi_request(Rs, request(R, State));
+multi_request([_|_], Error) -&gt;
+ Error;
+multi_request([], Result) -&gt;
+ Result.
+</code>
+
+<p>We loop through the requests one at the time, stopping when we either
+encounter an error or the list is exhausted. The last return value is
+sent back to the client (it's first returned to the main loop and then
+sent back by the function io_reply).</p>
+
+<p>The getopt and setopt requests is also simple to handle, we just
+change or read our state record:</p>
+
+<code>
+setopts(Opts0,State) -&gt;
+ Opts = proplists:unfold(
+ proplists:substitute_negations(
+ [{list,binary}],
+ Opts0)),
+ case check_valid_opts(Opts) of
+ true -&gt;
+ case proplists:get_value(binary, Opts) of
+ true -&gt;
+ {ok,ok,State#state{mode=binary}};
+ false -&gt;
+ {ok,ok,State#state{mode=binary}};
+ _ -&gt;
+ {ok,ok,State}
+ end;
+ false -&gt;
+ {error,{error,enotsup},State}
+ end.
+check_valid_opts([]) -&gt;
+ true;
+check_valid_opts([{binary,Bool}|T]) when is_boolean(Bool) -&gt;
+ check_valid_opts(T);
+check_valid_opts(_) -&gt;
+ false.
+
+getopts(#state{mode=M} = S) -&gt;
+ {ok,[{binary, case M of
+ binary -&gt;
+ true;
+ _ -&gt;
+ false
+ end}],S}.
+</code>
+
+<p>As a convention, all io_servers handle both {setopts, [binary]},
+{setopts, [list]} and {setopts,[{binary, bool()}]}, hence the trick
+with proplists:substitute_negations/2 and proplists:unfold/1. If
+invalid options are sent to us, we send {error,enotsup} back to the
+client.</p>
+
+<p>The getopts request should return a list of {Option, Value} tuples,
+which has the twofold function of providing both the current values
+and the available options of this io_server. We have only one option,
+and hence return that.</p>
+
+<p>So far our io_server has been fairly generic (except for the rewind
+request handled in the main loop and the creation of an ets table).
+Most io_servers contain code similar to what's above.</p>
+
+<p>To make the example runnable, we now start implementing the actual
+reading and writing of the data to/from the ets-table. First the
+put_chars function:</p>
+
+<code>
+put_chars(Chars, #state{table = T, position = P} = State) -&gt;
+ R = P div ?CHARS_PER_REC,
+ C = P rem ?CHARS_PER_REC,
+ [ apply_update(T,U) || U &lt;- split_data(Chars, R, C) ],
+ {ok, ok, State#state{position = (P + length(Chars))}}.
+</code>
+
+<p>We already have the data as (Unicode) lists and therefore just split
+the list in runs of a predefined size and put each run in the
+table at the current position (and forward). The functions
+split_data/3 and apply_update/2 are implemented below.</p>
+
+<p>Now we want to read data from the table. The get_until function reads
+data and applies the function until it says it's done. The result is
+sent back to the client:</p>
+

+ end.
+</code>
+
+<p>Here we also handle the mode (binary or list) that can be set by
+the setopts request. By default, all OTP io_servers send data back to
+the client as lists, but switching mode to binary might increase
+efficiency if the server handles it in an appropriate way. The
+implementation of get_until is hard to get efficient as the supplied
+function is defined to take lists as arguments, but get_chars and
+get_line can be optimized for binary mode. This example does not
+optimize anything however. It is important though that the returned
+data is of the right type depending on the options set, so we convert
+the lists to binaries in the correct encoding <em>if possible</em>
+before returning. The function supplied in the get_until request may,
+as it's final result return anything, so only functions actually
+returning lists can get them converted to binaries. If the request
+contained the encoding tag unicode, the lists can contain all unicode
+codepoints and the binaries should be in UTF-8, if the encoding tag
+was latin1, the client should only get characters in the range
+0..255. The function check/2 takes care of not returning arbitrary
+unicode codepoints in lists if the encoding was given as latin1. If
+the function did not return a list, the check cannot be performed and
+the result will be that of the supplied function untouched.</p>
+
+<p>Now we are more or less done. We implement the utility functions below
+to actually manipulate the table:</p>
+
+<code>
+check(unicode, List) -&gt;
+ List;
+check(latin1, List) -&gt;
+ try
+ [ throw(not_unicode) || X &lt;- List,
+ X > 255 ],
+ List
+ catch
+ throw:_ -&gt;
+ {error,{cannot_convert, unicode, latin1}}
+ end.
+</code>
+
+<p>The function check takes care of providing an error tuple if unicode
+codepoints above 255 is to be returned if the client requested
+latin1.</p>
+
+<p>The two functions until_newline/3 and until_enough/3 are helpers used
+together with the get_until function to implement get_chars and
+get_line (inefficiently):</p>
+
+<code>
+until_newline([],eof,_MyStopCharacter) -&gt;
+ {done,eof,[]};
+until_newline(ThisFar,eof,_MyStopCharacter) -&gt;
+ {done,ThisFar,[]};
+until_newline(ThisFar,CharList,MyStopCharacter) -&gt;
+ case lists:splitwith(fun(X) -&gt; X =/= MyStopCharacter end, CharList) of
+ {L,[]} -&gt;
+ {more,ThisFar++L};
+ {L2,[MyStopCharacter|Rest]} -&gt;
+ {done,ThisFar++L2++[MyStopCharacter],Rest}
+ end.
+
+until_enough([],eof,_N) -&gt;
+ {done,eof,[]};
+until_enough(ThisFar,eof,_N) -&gt;
+ {done,ThisFar,[]};
+until_enough(ThisFar,CharList,N)
+ when length(ThisFar) + length(CharList) >= N -&gt;
+ {Res,Rest} = my_split(N,ThisFar ++ CharList, []),
+ {done,Res,Rest};
+until_enough(ThisFar,CharList,_N) -&gt;
+ {more,ThisFar++CharList}.
+</code>
+
+<p>As can be seen, the functions above are just the type of functions
+that should be provided in get_until requests.</p>
+
+<p>Now we only need to read and write the table in an appropriate way to
+complete the server:</p>
+
+<code>
+get(P,Tab) -&gt;
+ R = P div ?CHARS_PER_REC,
+ C = P rem ?CHARS_PER_REC,
+ case ets:lookup(Tab,R) of
+ [] -&gt;
+ {P,eof};
+ [{R,List}] -&gt;
+ case my_split(C,List,[]) of
+ {_,[]} -&gt;
+ {P+length(List),eof};
+ {_,Data} -&gt;
+ {P+length(Data),Data}
+ end
+ end.
+
+my_split(0,Left,Acc) -&gt;
+ {lists:reverse(Acc),Left};
+my_split(_,[],Acc) -&gt;
+ {lists:reverse(Acc),[]};
+my_split(N,[H|T],Acc) -&gt;
+ my_split(N-1,T,[H|Acc]).
+
+split_data([],_,_) -&gt;
+ [];
+split_data(Chars, Row, Col) -&gt;
+ {This,Left} = my_split(?CHARS_PER_REC - Col, Chars, []),
+ [ {Row, Col, This} | split_data(Left, Row + 1, 0) ].
+
+apply_update(Table, {Row, Col, List}) -&gt;
+ case ets:lookup(Table,Row) of
+ [] -&gt;
+ ets:insert(Table,{Row, lists:duplicate(Col,0) ++ List});
+ [{Row, OldData}] -&gt;
+ {Part1,_} = my_split(Col,OldData,[]),
+ {_,Part2} = my_split(Col+length(List),OldData,[]),
+ ets:insert(Table,{Row, Part1 ++ List ++ Part2})
+ end.
+</code>
+
+<p>The table is read or written in chunks of ?CHARS_PER_REC, overwriting
+when necessary. The implementation is obviously not efficient, it is
+just working.</p>
+
+<p>This concludes the example. It is fully runnable and you can read or
+write to the io_server by using i.e. the io_module or even the file
+module. It's as simple as that to implement a fully fledged io_server
+in Erlang.</p>

+ <modulesummary>List Processing Functions</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions for list processing. The functions
+ are organized in two groups: those in the first group perform a
+ particular operation on one or more lists, whereas those in the
+ second group are higher-order functions, using a fun as argument
+ to perform an operation on one list.</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions assume that position
+ numbering starts at 1. That is, the first element of a list is at
+ position 1.</p>
+
+ <p>Whenever an <marker
+ id="ordering_function"></marker><em>ordering function</em>
+ <c>F</c> is expected as argument, it is assumed that the
+ following properties hold of <c>F</c> for all x, y and z:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><p>if x <c>F</c> y and y <c>F</c> x then x = y (<c>F</c>
+ is antisymmetric);</p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p>if x <c>F</c> y and and y <c>F</c> z then x <c>F</c> z
+ (<c>F</c> is transitive);</p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p>x <c>F</c> y or y <c>F</c> x (<c>F</c> is total).</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>An example of a typical ordering function is less than or equal
+ to, <c>=&lt;/2</c>.</p>

When all files have been used, the first one is re-used and overwritten. The directory location, the number of files, and the size of each file are configurable. The directory will include one file called <c>index</c>, and

+ <modulesummary>Parse_transform that translates fun syntax into match specifications. </modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <marker id="top"></marker>
+ <p>This module implements the parse_transform that makes calls to
+ <c>ets</c> and <c>dbg</c>:<c>fun2ms/1</c> translate into literal
+ match specifications. It also implements the back end for the same
+ functions when called from the Erlang shell.</p>
+ <p>The translations from fun's to match_specs
+ is accessed through the two "pseudo
+ functions" <c>ets:fun2ms/1</c> and <c>dbg:fun2ms/1</c>.</p>
+ <p>Actually this introduction is more or less an introduction to the
+ whole concept of match specifications. Since everyone trying to use
+ <c>ets:select</c> or <c>dbg</c> seems to end up reading
+ this page, it seems in good place to explain a little more than
+ just what this module does.</p>
+ <p>There are some caveats one should be aware of, please read through
+ the whole manual page if it's the first time you're using the
+ transformations. </p>
+ <p>Match specifications are used more or less as filters.
+ They resemble usual Erlang matching in a list comprehension or in
+ a <c>fun</c> used in conjunction with <c>lists:foldl</c> etc. The
+ syntax of pure match specifications is somewhat awkward though, as
+ they are made up purely by Erlang terms and there is no syntax in the
+ language to make the match specifications more readable.</p>
+ <p>As the match specifications execution and structure is quite like
+ that of a fun, it would for most programmers be more straight forward
+ to simply write it using the familiar fun syntax and having that
+ translated into a match specification automatically. Of course a real
+ fun is more powerful than the match specifications allow, but bearing
+ the match specifications in mind, and what they can do, it's still
+ more convenient to write it all as a fun. This module contains the
+ code that simply translates the fun syntax into match_spec terms.</p>
+ <p>Let's start with an ets example. Using <c>ets:select</c> and
+ a match specification, one can filter out rows of a table and construct
+ a list of tuples containing relevant parts of the data in these
+ rows. Of course one could use <c>ets:foldl</c> instead, but the
+ select call is far more efficient. Without the translation, one has to
+ struggle with writing match specifications terms to accommodate this,
+ or one has to resort to the less powerful
+ <c>ets:match(_object)</c> calls, or simply give up and use
+ the more inefficient method of <c>ets:foldl</c>. Using the
+ <c>ets:fun2ms</c> transformation, a <c>ets:select</c> call
+ is at least as easy to write as any of the alternatives.</p>
+ <p>As an example, consider a simple table of employees:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+-record(emp, {empno, %Employee number as a string, the key
+ surname, %Surname of the employee
+ givenname, %Given name of employee
+ dept, %Department one of {dev,sales,prod,adm}
+ empyear}). %Year the employee was employed </code>
+ <p>We create the table using:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:new(emp_tab,[{keypos,#emp.empno},named_table,ordered_set]). </code>
+ <p>Let's also fill it with some randomly chosen data for the examples:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+[{emp,"011103","Black","Alfred",sales,2000},
+ {emp,"041231","Doe","John",prod,2001},
+ {emp,"052341","Smith","John",dev,1997},
+ {emp,"076324","Smith","Ella",sales,1995},
+ {emp,"122334","Weston","Anna",prod,2002},
+ {emp,"535216","Chalker","Samuel",adm,1998},
+ {emp,"789789","Harrysson","Joe",adm,1996},
+ {emp,"963721","Scott","Juliana",dev,2003},
+ {emp,"989891","Brown","Gabriel",prod,1999}] </code>
+ <p>Now, the amount of data in the table is of course to small to justify
+ complicated ets searches, but on real tables, using <c>select</c> to get
+ exactly the data you want will increase efficiency remarkably.</p>
+ <p>Lets say for example that we'd want the employee numbers of
+ everyone in the sales department. One might use <c>ets:match</c>
+ in such a situation:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>ets:match(emp_tab, {'_', '$1', '_', '_', sales, '_'}).</input>
+[["011103"],["076324"]] </pre>
+ <p>Even though <c>ets:match</c> does not require a full match
+ specification, but a simpler type, it's still somewhat unreadable, and
+ one has little control over the returned result, it's always a list of
+ lists. OK, one might use <c>ets:foldl</c> or
+ <c>ets:foldr</c> instead:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:foldr(fun(#emp{empno = E, dept = sales},Acc) -> [E | Acc];
+ (_,Acc) -> Acc
+ end,
+ [],
+ emp_tab). </code>
+ <p>Running that would result in <c>["011103","076324"]</c>
+ , which at least gets rid of the extra lists. The fun is also quite
+ straightforward, so the only problem is that all the data from the
+ table has to be transferred from the table to the calling process for
+ filtering. That's inefficient compared to the <c>ets:match</c>
+ call where the filtering can be done "inside" the emulator and only
+ the result is transferred to the process. Remember that ets tables are
+ all about efficiency, if it wasn't for efficiency all of ets could be
+ implemented in Erlang, as a process receiving requests and sending
+ answers back. One uses ets because one wants performance, and
+ therefore one wouldn't want all of the table transferred to the
+ process for filtering. OK, let's look at a pure
+ <c>ets:select</c> call that does what the <c>ets:foldr</c>
+ does:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(emp_tab,[{#emp{empno = '$1', dept = sales, _='_'},[],['$1']}]). </code>
+ <p>Even though the record syntax is used, it's still somewhat hard to
+ read and even harder to write. The first element of the tuple,
+ <c>#emp{empno = '$1', dept = sales, _='_'}</c> tells what to
+ match, elements not matching this will not be returned at all, as in
+ the <c>ets:match</c> example. The second element, the empty list
+ is a list of guard expressions, which we need none, and the third
+ element is the list of expressions constructing the return value (in
+ ets this almost always is a list containing one single term). In our
+ case <c>'$1'</c> is bound to the employee number in the head
+ (first element of tuple), and hence it is the employee number that is
+ returned. The result is <c>["011103","076324"]</c>, just as in
+ the <c>ets:foldr</c> example, but the result is retrieved much
+ more efficiently in terms of execution speed and memory consumption.</p>
+ <p>We have one efficient but hardly readable way of doing it and one
+ inefficient but fairly readable (at least to the skilled Erlang
+ programmer) way of doing it. With the use of <c>ets:fun2ms</c>,
+ one could have something that is as efficient as possible but still is
+ written as a filter using the fun syntax:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+-include_lib("stdlib/include/ms_transform.hrl").
+
+% ...
+
+ets:select(emp_tab, ets:fun2ms(
+ fun(#emp{empno = E, dept = sales}) ->
+ E
+ end)). </code>
+ <p>This may not be the shortest of the expressions, but it requires no
+ special knowledge of match specifications to read. The fun's head
+ should simply match what you want to filter out and the body returns
+ what you want returned. As long as the fun can be kept within the
+ limits of the match specifications, there is no need to transfer all
+ data of the table to the process for filtering as in the
+ <c>ets:foldr</c> example. In fact it's even easier to read then
+ the <c>ets:foldr</c> example, as the select call in itself
+ discards anything that doesn't match, while the fun of the
+ <c>foldr</c> call needs to handle both the elements matching and
+ the ones not matching.</p>
+ <p>It's worth noting in the above <c>ets:fun2ms</c> example that one
+ needs to include <c>ms_transform.hrl</c> in the source code, as this is
+ what triggers the parse transformation of the <c>ets:fun2ms</c> call
+ to a valid match specification. This also implies that the
+ transformation is done at compile time (except when called from the
+ shell of course) and therefore will take no resources at all in
+ runtime. So although you use the more intuitive fun syntax, it gets as
+ efficient in runtime as writing match specifications by hand.</p>
+ <p>Let's look at some more <c>ets</c> examples. Let's say one
+ wants to get all the employee numbers of any employee hired before the
+ year 2000. Using <c>ets:match</c> isn't an alternative here as
+ relational operators cannot be expressed there. Once again, an
+ <c>ets:foldr</c> could do it (slowly, but correct):</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+ets:foldr(fun(#emp{empno = E, empyear = Y},Acc) when Y < 2000 -> [E | Acc];
+ (_,Acc) -> Acc
+ end,
+ [],
+ emp_tab). ]]></code>
+ <p>The result will be
+ <c>["052341","076324","535216","789789","989891"]</c>, as
+ expected. Now the equivalent expression using a handwritten match
+ specification would look something like this:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+ets:select(emp_tab,[{#emp{empno = '$1', empyear = '$2', _='_'},
+ [{'<', '$2', 2000}],
+ ['$1']}]). ]]></code>
+ <p>This gives the same result, the <c><![CDATA[[{'<', '$2', 2000}]]]></c> is in
+ the guard part and therefore discards anything that does not have a
+ empyear (bound to '$2' in the head) less than 2000, just as the guard
+ in the <c>foldl</c> example. Lets jump on to writing it using
+ <c>ets:fun2ms</c></p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+-include_lib("stdlib/include/ms_transform.hrl").
+
+% ...
+
+ets:select(emp_tab, ets:fun2ms(
+ fun(#emp{empno = E, empyear = Y}) when Y < 2000 ->
+ E
+ end)). ]]></code>
+ <p>Obviously readability is gained by using the parse transformation.</p>
+ <p>I'll show some more examples without the tiresome
+ comparing-to-alternatives stuff. Let's say we'd want the whole object
+ matching instead of only one element. We could of course assign a
+ variable to every part of the record and build it up once again in the
+ body of the <c>fun</c>, but it's easier to do like this:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+ets:select(emp_tab, ets:fun2ms(
+ fun(Obj = #emp{empno = E, empyear = Y})
+ when Y < 2000 ->
+ Obj
+ end)). ]]></code>
+ <p>Just as in ordinary Erlang matching, you can bind a variable to the
+ whole matched object using a "match in then match", i.e. a
+ <c>=</c>. Unfortunately this is not general in <c>fun's</c> translated
+ to match specifications, only on the "top level", i.e. matching the
+ <em>whole</em> object arriving to be matched into a separate variable,
+ is it allowed. For the one's used to writing match specifications by
+ hand, I'll have to mention that the variable A will simply be
+ translated into '$_'. It's not general, but it has very common usage,
+ why it is handled as a special, but useful, case. If this bothers you,
+ the pseudo function <c>object</c> also returns the whole matched
+ object, see the part about caveats and limitations below.</p>
+ <p>Let's do something in the <c>fun</c>'s body too: Let's say
+ that someone realizes that there are a few people having an employee
+ number beginning with a zero (<c>0</c>), which shouldn't be
+ allowed. All those should have their numbers changed to begin with a
+ one (<c>1</c>) instead and one wants the
+ list <c><![CDATA[[{<Old empno>,<New empno>}]]]></c> created:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(emp_tab, ets:fun2ms(
+ fun(#emp{empno = [$0 | Rest] }) ->
+ {[$0|Rest],[$1|Rest]}
+ end)). </code>
+ <p>As a matter of fact, this query hit's the feature of partially bound
+ keys in the table type <c>ordered_set</c>, so that not the whole
+ table need be searched, only the part of the table containing keys
+ beginning with <c>0</c> is in fact looked into. </p>
+ <p>The fun of course can have several clauses, so that if one could do
+ the following: For each employee, if he or she is hired prior to 1997,
+ return the tuple <c><![CDATA[{inventory, <employee number>}]]></c>, for each hired 1997
+ or later, but before 2001, return <c><![CDATA[{rookie, <employee number>}]]></c>, for all others return <c><![CDATA[{newbie, <employee number>}]]></c>. All except for the ones named <c>Smith</c> as
+ they would be affronted by anything other than the tag
+ <c>guru</c> and that is also what's returned for their numbers;
+ <c><![CDATA[{guru, <employee number>}]]></c>:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+ets:select(emp_tab, ets:fun2ms(
+ fun(#emp{empno = E, surname = "Smith" }) ->
+ {guru,E};
+ (#emp{empno = E, empyear = Y}) when Y < 1997 ->
+ {inventory, E};
+ (#emp{empno = E, empyear = Y}) when Y > 2001 ->
+ {newbie, E};
+ (#emp{empno = E, empyear = Y}) -> % 1997 -- 2001
+ {rookie, E}
+ end)). ]]></code>
+ <p>The result will be:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+[{rookie,"011103"},
+ {rookie,"041231"},
+ {guru,"052341"},
+ {guru,"076324"},
+ {newbie,"122334"},
+ {rookie,"535216"},
+ {inventory,"789789"},
+ {newbie,"963721"},
+ {rookie,"989891"}] </code>
+ <p>and so the Smith's will be happy...</p>
+ <p>So, what more can you do? Well, the simple answer would be; look
+ in the documentation of match specifications in ERTS users
+ guide. However let's briefly go through the most useful "built in
+ functions" that you can use when the <c>fun</c> is to be
+ translated into a match specification by <c>ets:fun2ms</c> (it's
+ worth mentioning, although it might be obvious to some, that calling
+ other functions than the one's allowed in match specifications cannot
+ be done. No "usual" Erlang code can be executed by the <c>fun</c> being
+ translated by <c>fun2ms</c>, the <c>fun</c> is after all limited
+ exactly to the power of the match specifications, which is
+ unfortunate, but the price one has to pay for the execution speed of
+ an <c>ets:select</c> compared to <c>ets:foldl/foldr</c>).</p>
+ <p>The head of the <c>fun</c> is obviously a head matching (or mismatching)
+ <em>one</em> parameter, one object of the table we <c>select</c>
+ from. The object is always a single variable (can be <c>_</c>) or
+ a tuple, as that's what's in <c>ets, dets</c> and
+ <c>mnesia</c> tables (the match specification returned by
+ <c>ets:fun2ms</c> can of course be used with
+ <c>dets:select</c> and <c>mnesia:select</c> as well as
+ with <c>ets:select</c>). The use of <c>=</c> in the head
+ is allowed (and encouraged) on the top level.</p>
+ <p>The guard section can contain any guard expression of Erlang.
+ Even the "old" type test are allowed on the toplevel of the guard
+ (<c>integer(X)</c> instead of <c>is_integer(X)</c>). As the new type tests (the
+ <c>is_</c> tests) are in practice just guard bif's they can also
+ be called from within the body of the fun, but so they can in ordinary
+ Erlang code. Also arithmetics is allowed, as well as ordinary guard
+ bif's. Here's a list of bif's and expressions:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>The type tests: is_atom, is_constant, is_float, is_integer,
+ is_list, is_number, is_pid, is_port, is_reference, is_tuple,
+ is_binary, is_function, is_record</item>
+ <item>The boolean operators: not, and, or, andalso, orelse </item>
+ <item>The relational operators: >, >=, &lt;, =&lt;, =:=, ==, =/=, /=</item>
+ <item>Arithmetics: +, -, *, div, rem</item>
+ <item>Bitwise operators: band, bor, bxor, bnot, bsl, bsr</item>
+ <item>The guard bif's: abs, element, hd, length, node, round, size, tl,
+ trunc, self</item>
+ <item>The obsolete type test (only in guards):
+ atom, constant, float, integer,
+ list, number, pid, port, reference, tuple,
+ binary, function, record</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Contrary to the fact with "handwritten" match specifications, the
+ <c>is_record</c> guard works as in ordinary Erlang code.</p>
+ <p>Semicolons (<c>;</c>) in guards are allowed, the result will be (as
+ expected) one "match_spec-clause" for each semicolon-separated
+ part of the guard. The semantics being identical to the Erlang
+ semantics.</p>
+ <p>The body of the <c>fun</c> is used to construct the
+ resulting value. When selecting from tables one usually just construct
+ a suiting term here, using ordinary Erlang term construction, like
+ tuple parentheses, list brackets and variables matched out in the
+ head, possibly in conjunction with the occasional constant. Whatever
+ expressions are allowed in guards are also allowed here, but there are
+ no special functions except <c>object</c> and
+ <c>bindings</c> (see further down), which returns the whole
+ matched object and all known variable bindings respectively.</p>
+ <p>The <c>dbg</c> variants of match specifications have an
+ imperative approach to the match specification body, the ets dialect
+ hasn't. The fun body for <c>ets:fun2ms</c> returns the result
+ without side effects, and as matching (<c>=</c>) in the body of
+ the match specifications is not allowed (for performance reasons) the
+ only thing left, more or less, is term construction...</p>
+ <p>Let's move on to the <c>dbg</c> dialect, the slightly
+ different match specifications translated by <c>dbg:fun2ms</c>. </p>
+ <p>The same reasons for using the parse transformation applies to
+ <c>dbg</c>, maybe even more so as filtering using Erlang code is
+ simply not a good idea when tracing (except afterwards, if you trace
+ to file). The concept is similar to that of <c>ets:fun2ms</c>
+ except that you usually use it directly from the shell (which can also
+ be done with <c>ets:fun2ms</c>). </p>
+ <p>Let's manufacture a toy module to trace on </p>
+ <code type="none">
+-module(toy).
+
+-export([start/1, store/2, retrieve/1]).
+
+start(Args) ->
+ toy_table = ets:new(toy_table,Args).
+
+store(Key, Value) ->
+ ets:insert(toy_table,{Key,Value}).
+
+retrieve(Key) ->
+ [{Key, Value}] = ets:lookup(toy_table,Key),
+ Value. </code>
+ <p>During model testing, the first test bails out with a
+ <c>{badmatch,16}</c> in <c>{toy,start,1}</c>, why?</p>
+ <p>We suspect the ets call, as we match hard on the return value, but
+ want only the particular <c>new</c> call with
+ <c>toy_table</c> as first parameter.
+ So we start a default tracer on the node:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>dbg:tracer().</input>
+{ok,&lt;0.88.0>}</pre>
+ <p>And so we turn on call tracing for all processes, we are going to
+ make a pretty restrictive trace pattern, so there's no need to call
+ trace only a few processes (it usually isn't):</p>
+ <pre>
+2> <input>dbg:p(all,call).</input>
+{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,25}]} </pre>
+ <p>It's time to specify the filter. We want to view calls that resemble
+ <c><![CDATA[ets:new(toy_table,<something>)]]></c>:</p>
+ <pre>
+3> <input>dbg:tp(ets,new,dbg:fun2ms(fun([toy_table,_]) -> true end)).</input>
+{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,1},{saved,1}]} </pre>
+ <p>As can be seen, the <c>fun</c>'s used with
+ <c>dbg:fun2ms</c> takes a single list as parameter instead of a
+ single tuple. The list matches a list of the parameters to the traced
+ function. A single variable may also be used of course. The body
+ of the fun expresses in a more imperative way actions to be taken if
+ the fun head (and the guards) matches. I return <c>true</c> here, but it's
+ only because the body of a fun cannot be empty, the return value will
+ be discarded. </p>
+ <p>When we run the test of our module now, we get the following trace
+ output:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+(<0.86.0>) call ets:new(toy_table,[ordered_set]) ]]></code>
+ <p>Let's play we haven't spotted the problem yet, and want to see what
+ <c>ets:new</c> returns. We do a slightly different trace
+ pattern:</p>
+ <pre>
+4> <input>dbg:tp(ets,new,dbg:fun2ms(fun([toy_table,_]) -> return_trace() end)).</input></pre>
+ <p>Resulting in the following trace output when we run the test:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+(<0.86.0>) call ets:new(toy_table,[ordered_set])
+(<0.86.0>) returned from ets:new/2 -> 24 ]]></code>
+ <p>The call to <c>return_trace</c>, makes a trace message appear
+ when the function returns. It applies only to the specific function call
+ triggering the match specification (and matching the head/guards of
+ the match specification). This is the by far the most common call in the
+ body of a <c>dbg</c> match specification.</p>
+ <p>As the test now fails with <c>{badmatch,24}</c>, it's obvious
+ that the badmatch is because the atom <c>toy_table</c> does not
+ match the number returned for an unnamed table. So we spotted the
+ problem, the table should be named and the arguments supplied by our
+ test program does not include <c>named_table</c>. We rewrite the
+ start function to:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+start(Args) ->
+ toy_table = ets:new(toy_table,[named_table |Args]). </code>
+ <p>And with the same tracing turned on, we get the following trace
+ output:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+(<0.86.0>) call ets:new(toy_table,[named_table,ordered_set])
+(<0.86.0>) returned from ets:new/2 -> toy_table ]]></code>
+ <p>Very well. Let's say the module now passes all testing and goes into
+ the system. After a while someone realizes that the table
+ <c>toy_table</c> grows while the system is running and that for some
+ reason there are a lot of elements with atom's as keys. You had
+ expected only integer keys and so does the rest of the system. Well,
+ obviously not all of the system. You turn on call tracing and try to
+ see calls to your module with an atom as the key:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>dbg:tracer().</input>
+{ok,&lt;0.88.0>}
+2> <input>dbg:p(all,call).</input>
+{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,25}]}
+3> <input>dbg:tpl(toy,store,dbg:fun2ms(fun([A,_]) when is_atom(A) -> true end)).</input>
+{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,1},{saved,1}]}</pre>
+ <p>We use <c>dbg:tpl</c> here to make sure to catch local calls
+ (let's say the module has grown since the smaller version and we're
+ not sure this inserting of atoms is not done locally...). When in
+ doubt always use local call tracing.</p>
+ <p>Let's say nothing happens when we trace in this way. Our function
+ is never called with these parameters. We make the conclusion that
+ someone else (some other module) is doing it and we realize that we
+ must trace on ets:insert and want to see the calling function. The
+ calling function may be retrieved using the match specification
+ function <c>caller</c> and to get it into the trace message, one
+ has to use the match spec function <c>message</c>. The filter
+ call looks like this (looking for calls to <c>ets:insert</c>):</p>
+ <pre>
+4> <input>dbg:tpl(ets,insert,dbg:fun2ms(fun([toy_table,{A,_}]) when is_atom(A) -> </input>
+<input> message(caller()) </input>
+<input> end)). </input>
+{ok,[{matched,nonode@nohost,1},{saved,2}]} </pre>
+ <p>The caller will now appear in the "additional message" part of the
+ trace output, and so after a while, the following output comes:</p>
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+(<0.86.0>) call ets:insert(toy_table,{garbage,can}) ({evil_mod,evil_fun,2}) ]]></code>
+ <p>You have found out that the function <c>evil_fun</c> of the
+ module <c>evil_mod</c>, with arity <c>2</c>, is the one
+ causing all this trouble.</p>
+ <p>This was just a toy example, but it illustrated the most used
+ calls in match specifications for <c>dbg</c> The other, more
+ esotheric calls are listed and explained in the <em>Users guide of the ERTS application</em>, they really are beyond the scope of this
+ document.</p>
+ <p>To end this chatty introduction with something more precise, here
+ follows some parts about caveats and restrictions concerning the fun's
+ used in conjunction with <c>ets:fun2ms</c> and
+ <c>dbg:fun2ms</c>:</p>
+ <warning>
+ <p>To use the pseudo functions triggering the translation, one
+ <em>has to</em> include the header file <c>ms_transform.hrl</c>
+ in the source code. Failure to do so will possibly result in
+ runtime errors rather than compile time, as the expression may
+ be valid as a plain Erlang program without translation.</p>
+ </warning>
+ <warning>
+ <p>The <c>fun</c> has to be literally constructed inside the
+ parameter list to the pseudo functions. The <c>fun</c> cannot
+ be bound to a variable first and then passed to
+ <c>ets:fun2ms</c> or <c>dbg:fun2ms</c>, i.e this
+ will work: <c>ets:fun2ms(fun(A) -> A end)</c> but not this:
+ <c>F = fun(A) -> A end, ets:fun2ms(F)</c>. The later will result
+ in a compile time error if the header is included, otherwise a
+ runtime error. Even if the later construction would ever
+ appear to work, it really doesn't, so don't ever use it.</p>
+ </warning>
+ <p>Several restrictions apply to the fun that is being translated
+ into a match_spec. To put it simple you cannot use anything in
+ the fun that you cannot use in a match_spec. This means that,
+ among others, the following restrictions apply to the fun itself:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Functions written in Erlang cannot be called, neither
+ local functions, global functions or real fun's</item>
+ <item>Everything that is written as a function call will be
+ translated into a match_spec call to a builtin function, so that
+ the call <c>is_list(X)</c> will be translated to <c>{'is_list', '$1'}</c> (<c>'$1'</c> is just an example, the numbering may
+ vary). If one tries to call a function that is not a match_spec
+ builtin, it will cause an error.</item>
+ <item>Variables occurring in the head of the <c>fun</c> will be
+ replaced by match_spec variables in the order of occurrence, so
+ that the fragment <c>fun({A,B,C})</c> will be replaced by
+ <c>{'$1', '$2', '$3'}</c> etc. Every occurrence of such a
+ variable later in the match_spec will be replaced by a
+ match_spec variable in the same way, so that the fun
+ <c>fun({A,B}) when is_atom(A) -> B end</c> will be translated into
+ <c>[{{'$1','$2'},[{is_atom,'$1'}],['$2']}]</c>.</item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Variables that are not appearing in the head are imported
+ from the environment and made into
+ match_spec <c>const</c> expressions. Example from the shell:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>X = 25.</input>
+25
+2> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({A,B}) when A > X -> B end).</input>
+[{{'$1','$2'},[{'>','$1',{const,25}}],['$2']}]</pre>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Matching with <c>=</c> cannot be used in the body. It can only
+ be used on the top level in the head of the fun.
+ Example from the shell again:</p>
+ <pre>
+1> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({A,[B|C]} = D) when A > B -> D end).</input>
+[{{'$1',['$2'|'$3']},[{'>','$1','$2'}],['$_']}]
+2> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({A,[B|C]=D}) when A > B -> D end).</input>
+Error: fun with head matching ('=' in head) cannot be translated into
+match_spec
+{error,transform_error}
+3> <input>ets:fun2ms(fun({A,[B|C]}) when A > B -> D = [B|C], D end).</input>
+Error: fun with body matching ('=' in body) is illegal as match_spec
+{error,transform_error} </pre>
+ <p>All variables are bound in the head of a match_spec, so the
+ translator can not allow multiple bindings. The special case
+ when matching is done on the top level makes the variable bind
+ to <c>'$_'</c> in the resulting match_spec, it is to allow a more
+ natural access to the whole matched object. The pseudo
+ function <c>object()</c> could be used instead, see below.
+ The following expressions are translated equally: </p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:fun2ms(fun({a,_} = A) -> A end).
+ets:fun2ms(fun({a,_}) -> object() end).</code>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>The special match_spec variables <c>'$_'</c> and <c>'$*'</c>
+ can be accessed through the pseudo functions <c>object()</c>
+ (for <c>'$_'</c>) and <c>bindings()</c> (for <c>'$*'</c>).
+ as an example, one could translate the following
+ <c>ets:match_object/2</c> call to a <c>ets:select</c> call:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:match_object(Table, {'$1',test,'$2'}). </code>
+ <p>...is the same as...</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Table, ets:fun2ms(fun({A,test,B}) -> object() end)).</code>
+ <p>(This was just an example, in this simple case the former
+ expression is probably preferable in terms of readability).
+ The <c>ets:select/2</c> call will conceptually look like this
+ in the resulting code:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ets:select(Table, [{{'$1',test,'$2'},[],['$_']}]).</code>
+ <p>Matching on the top level of the fun head might feel like a
+ more natural way to access <c>'$_'</c>, see above.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>Term constructions/literals are translated as much as is
+ needed to get them into valid match_specs, so that tuples are
+ made into match_spec tuple constructions (a one element tuple
+ containing the tuple) and constant expressions are used when
+ importing variables from the environment. Records are also
+ translated into plain tuple constructions, calls to element
+ etc. The guard test <c>is_record/2</c> is translated into
+ match_spec code using the three parameter version that's built
+ into match_specs, so that <c>is_record(A,t)</c> is translated
+ into <c>{is_record,'$1',t,5}</c> given that the record size of
+ record type <c>t</c> is 5.</item>
+ <item>Language constructions like <c>case</c>, <c>if</c>,
+ <c>catch</c> etc that are not present in match_specs are not
+ allowed.</item>
+ <item>If the header file <c>ms_transform.hrl</c> is not included,
+ the fun won't be translated, which may result in a
+ <em>runtime error</em> (depending on if the fun is valid in a
+ pure Erlang context). Be absolutely sure that the header is
+ included when using <c>ets</c> and <c>dbg:fun2ms/1</c> in
+ compiled code.</item>
+ <item>If the pseudo function triggering the translation is
+ <c>ets:fun2ms/1</c>, the fun's head must contain a single
+ variable or a single tuple. If the pseudo function is
+ <c>dbg:fun2ms/1</c> the fun's head must contain a single
+ variable or a single list.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The translation from fun's to match_specs is done at compile
+ time, so runtime performance is not affected by using these pseudo
+ functions. The compile time might be somewhat longer though. </p>
+ <p>For more information about match_specs, please read about them
+ in <em>ERTS users guide</em>.</p>

+ <p>
+ The documentation is now built with open source tools
+ (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One
+ visible change is that the frames are removed.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8201</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ [escript] The restriction that the first line in escripts
+ must begin with <c>#!</c> has been removed.</p>
+ <p>
+ [escript] Some command line options to the escript
+ executable has now been documented. For example you can
+ run an escript in the debugger by just adding a command
+ line option.</p>
+ <p>
+ [escript] The documentation of the escript header syntax
+ has been clarified. For example the header is optional.
+ This means that it is possible to directly "execute"
+ <c>.erl</c>, <c>.beam</c> and<c>.zip</c> files.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8215</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Optimized array:from_orddict/1, it is now faster and
+ uses less memory if the orddict was sparse.</p>
+ <p>Changed array:reset/2, it will now never expand the
+ array which it could before for non fixed arrays. See the
+ documentation.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-8216</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>The Erlang Pretty Printer (<c>erl_pp</c>) now puts the
+ leading <c>[</c> of list comprehensions as well as the
+ leading <c>&lt;&lt;</c> of bit string comprehensions on a
+ separate line in order to expose the Cover counter of the
+ template.</p>
+ <p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Some clarifications have been made in the documentation
+ regarding <c>gen_server</c>, <c>gen_fsm</c>, and
+ <c>gen_event</c> behavior when handling <c>'EXIT'</c>
+ messages from the parent process. For more information

+ <p>Support for Unicode is implemented as described in
+ EEP10. Formatting and reading of unicode data both from
+ terminals and files is supported by the io and io_lib
+ modules. Files can be opened in modes with automatic
+ translation to and from different unicode formats. The
+ module 'unicode' contains functions for conversion
+ between external and internal unicode formats and the re
+ module has support for unicode data. There is also
+ language syntax for specifying string and character data
+ beyond the ISO-latin-1 range.</p>
+ <p>The interactive shell will support input and output of
+ unicode characters when the terminal and operating system
+ supports it.</p>
+ <p>Please see the EEP and the io/io_lib manual pages as
+ well as the stdlib users guide for details.</p>
+ <p><em>I/O-protocol incompatibilities:</em></p>
+ <p>The io_protocol between io_Server and client is
+ updated to handle protocol data in unicode formats. The
+ updated protocol is now documented. The specification
+ resides in the stdlib <em>users manual</em>, which is a
+ new part of the manual.</p>
+ <p><em>io module incompatibilities:</em></p>
+ <p>The io:put_chars, io:get_chars and io:get_line all
+ handle and return unicode data. In the case where
+ binaries can be provided (as to io:put_chars), they shall
+ be encoded in UTF-8. When binaries are returned (as by
+ io:get_line/get_chars when the io_server is set in
+ <em>binary mode</em>) the returned data is also
+ <em>always</em> encoded as UTF-8. The file module however
+ still returns byte-oriented data, why file:read can be
+ used instead of io:get_chars to read binary data in
+ ISO-latin-1.</p>
+ <p><em>io_lib module incompatibilities:</em></p>
+ <p>io_lib:format can, given new format directives (i.e
+ "~ts" and "~tc"), return lists containing integers larger
+ than 255. </p>

+ <p>The behaviour of the internal functions gen:call/3,4
+ has been changed slightly in the rare case that when the
+ caller was linked to the called server, and the server
+ crashed during the call; its exit signal was consumed by
+ the gen:call/3,4 code and converted to an exit exception.
+ This exit signal is no longer consumed.</p>
+ <p>To even notice this change, 1) the calling process has
+ to be linked to the called server.</p>
+ <p>
+ 2) the call must not be remote by name that is it must be
+ local or remote by pid, local by name or global by name.</p>
+ <p>
+ 3) the calling process has to have set
+ <c>process_flag(trap_exit, true)</c>.</p>
+ <p>
+ 4) the server has to crash during the call.</p>
+ <p>
+ 5) the calling process has to be sensitive to getting
+ previously consumed <c>{'EXIT',Pid,Reason}</c> messages
+ in its message queue.</p>
+ <p>The old behaviour was once the only way for a client
+ to notice if the server died, but has since
+ <c>erlang:monitor(process, {Name,Node})</c> was
+ introduced and used in gen:call been regarded as an
+ undesired behaviour if not a bug.</p>
+ <p>The affected user APIs are:
+ <c>gen_server:call/2,3</c>,
+ <c>gen_fsm:sync_send_event/2,3</c>,
+ <c>gen_fsm:sync_send_all_state_event/2,3</c>,

+ <p>To help Dialyzer find more bugs, many functions in the
+ Kernel and STDLIB applications now only accept arguments
+ of the type that is documented.</p>
+ <p>For instance, the functions <c>lists:prefix/2</c> and
+ <c>lists:suffix/2</c> are documented to only accept lists
+ as their arguments, but they actually accepted anything
+ and returned <c>false</c>. That has been changed so that
+ the functions cause an exception if one or both arguments
+ are not lists.</p>
+ <p>Also, the <c>string:strip/3</c> function is documented
+ to take a character argument that is a character to strip
+ from one or both ends of the string. Given a list instead
+ of a character, it used to do nothing, but will now cause
+ an exception.</p>
+ <p>Dialyzer will find most cases where those functions
+ are passed arguments of the wrong type.</p>

+ <p>Corrected two minor bugs found by the Dialyzer:

+ (i.e. if <c>shell:start_restricted/1</c> has been used)
+ would crash the shell evaluator. A debug printout in
+ <c>gen_fsm</c> had a clause that would never match; causing

+ <p>And a somewhat more serious one also found by

+ started by <c>rpc:async_call/4</c> had already finished;

+ <p>The initial shell process started in parallel with the
+ <c>init</c> boot process. This made it possible to pipe
+ commands to the shell that got evaluated before the system
+ had booted properly. Also the shell was normally accessible
+ before <c>.erlang</c> had been evaluated and this caused
+ problems especially related to code loading. This has now
+ been fixed so that the initial shell is not accessible
+ until after the init boot routine has finished and
+ <c>.erlang</c> has been evaluated. Note that the shell
+ starts before any <c>-s</c> arguments are executed.</p>

+ <p>It is now possible to compile files with <c>erlc</c> without

+ <p>The new STDLIB module <c>qlc</c> implements a query
+ language with a list comprehension syntax completely
+ embedded in Erlang. There is support for reading data
+ from ETS, Dets, and Mnesia tables as well as for defining
+ other sources of data. For easy testing queries can be
+ stated in the Erlang shell. The <c>qlc</c> module aims at
+ replacing Mnemosyne. See <c>qlc(3)</c> for details and
+ examples.</p>
+ <p>Own Id: OTP-5043</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Some support for records has been added to the Erlang
+ shell. There are commands for reading record definitions
+ from files and for manipulating record definitions in the
+ shell. The record syntax can be used in the shell and
+ return values are printed as records when possible using
+ the records definitions known to the shell. New commands
+ in the shell are <c>rd/2</c>, <c>rf/0,1</c>,
+ <c>rl/0,1</c>, <c>rp/1</c>, and <c>rr/1,2,3</c>. Existing
+ functions in <c>user_default.erl</c> with any of these
+ names need to be renamed. See <c>shell(3)</c> for further

+ <description>
+ <p><c>Orddict</c> implements a <c>Key</c> - <c>Value</c> dictionary.
+ An <c>orddict</c> is a representation of a dictionary, where a
+ list of pairs is used to store the keys and values. The list is
+ ordered after the keys.</p>
+ <p>This module provides exactly the same interface as the module
+ <c>dict</c> but with a defined representation. One difference is
+ that while <c>dict</c> considers two keys as different if they
+ do not match (<c>=:=</c>), this module considers two keys as
+ different if and only if they do not compare equal
+ (<c>==</c>).</p>

+ <section>
+ <title>Notes</title>
+ <p>The functions <c>append</c> and <c>append_list</c> are included
+ so we can store keyed values in a list <em>accumulator</em>. For
+ example:</p>
+ <pre>
+> D0 = orddict:new(),
+ D1 = orddict:store(files, [], D0),
+ D2 = orddict:append(files, f1, D1),
+ D3 = orddict:append(files, f2, D2),
+ D4 = orddict:append(files, f3, D3),
+ orddict:fetch(files, D4).
+[f1,f2,f3] </pre>
+ <p>This saves the trouble of first fetching a keyed value,
+ appending a new value to the list of stored values, and storing
+ the result.
+ </p>
+ <p>The function <c>fetch</c> should be used if the key is known to
+ be in the dictionary, otherwise <c>find</c>.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Distributed, Named Process Groups</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This (experimental) module implements process groups. A process
+ group is a group of processes that can be accessed by a common
+ name. For example, a group named <c>foobar</c> can include a set
+ of processes as members of this group and they can be located on
+ different nodes.</p>
+ <p>When messages are sent to the named group, all members of
+ the group receive the message. The messages are serialized. If
+ the process <c>P1</c> sends the message <c>M1</c> to the group,
+ and process <c>P2</c> simultaneously sends message <c>M2</c>, then
+ all members of the group receive the two messages in the same
+ order. If members of a group terminate, they are automatically
+ removed from the group.</p>
+ <p>This module is not complete. The module is inspired by the ISIS
+ system and the causal order protocol of the ISIS system should
+ also be implemented. At the moment, all messages are serialized
+ by sending them through a group master process.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Functions for asynchronous and synchronous start of processes adhering to the OTP design principles.</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module is used to start processes adhering to
+ the <seealso marker="doc/design_principles:des_princ">OTP Design Principles</seealso>. Specifically, the functions in this
+ module are used by the OTP standard behaviors (<c>gen_server</c>,
+ <c>gen_fsm</c>, ...) when starting new processes. The functions
+ can also be used to start <em>special processes</em>, user
+ defined processes which comply to the OTP design principles. See
+ <seealso marker="doc/design_principles:spec_proc">Sys and Proc_Lib</seealso> in OTP Design Principles for an example.</p>
+ <p>Some useful information is initialized when a process starts.
+ The registered names, or the process identifiers, of the parent
+ process, and the parent ancestors, are stored together with
+ information about the function initially called in the process.</p>
+ <p>While in "plain Erlang" a process is said to terminate normally
+ only for the exit reason <c>normal</c>, a process started
+ using <c>proc_lib</c> is also said to terminate normally if it
+ exits with reason <c>shutdown</c> or <c>{shutdown,Term}</c>.
+ <c>shutdown</c> is the reason used when
+ an application (supervision tree) is stopped.</p>
+ <p>When a process started using <c>proc_lib</c> terminates
+ abnormally -- that is, with another exit reason than <c>normal</c>,
+ <c>shutdown</c>, or <c>{shutdown,Term}</c> -- a <em>crash report</em>
+ is generated, which is written to terminal by the default SASL
+ event handler. That is, the crash report is normally only visible
+ if the SASL application is started. See
+ <seealso marker="sasl:sasl_app">sasl(6)</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="sasl:error_logging">SASL User's Guide</seealso>.</p>
+ <p>The crash report contains the previously stored information such
+ as ancestors and initial function, the termination reason, and
+ information regarding other processes which terminate as a result
+ of this process terminating.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>Property lists are ordinary lists containing entries in the form
+ of either tuples, whose first elements are keys used for lookup and
+ insertion, or atoms, which work as shorthand for tuples <c>{Atom, true}</c>. (Other terms are allowed in the lists, but are ignored
+ by this module.) If there is more than one entry in a list for a
+ certain key, the first occurrence normally overrides any later
+ (irrespective of the arity of the tuples).</p>
+ <p>Property lists are useful for representing inherited properties,
+ such as options passed to a function where a user may specify options
+ overriding the default settings, object properties, annotations,
+ etc.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>qlc</c> module provides a query interface to Mnesia, ETS,
+ Dets and other data structures that implement an iterator style
+ traversal of objects. </p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section><title>Overview</title>
+
+ <p>The <c>qlc</c> module implements a query interface to <em>QLC
+ tables</em>. Typical QLC tables are ETS, Dets, and Mnesia
+ tables. There is also support for user defined tables, see the
+ <seealso marker="#implementing_a_qlc_table">Implementing a QLC
+ table</seealso> section. A <em>query</em> is stated using
+ <em>Query List Comprehensions</em> (QLCs). The answers to a
+ query are determined by data in QLC tables that fulfill the
+ constraints expressed by the QLCs of the query. QLCs are similar
+ to ordinary list comprehensions as described in the Erlang
+ Reference Manual and Programming Examples except that variables
+ introduced in patterns cannot be used in list expressions. In
+ fact, in the absence of optimizations and options such as
+ <c>cache</c> and <c>unique</c> (see below), every QLC free of
+ QLC tables evaluates to the same list of answers as the
+ identical ordinary list comprehension. </p>
+
+ <p>While ordinary list comprehensions evaluate to lists, calling
+ <seealso marker="#q">qlc:q/1,2</seealso> returns a <em>Query
+ Handle</em>. To obtain all the answers to a query, <seealso
+ marker="#eval">qlc:eval/1,2</seealso> should be called with the
+ query handle as first argument. Query handles are essentially
+ functional objects ("funs") created in the module calling <c>q/1,2</c>.
+ As the funs refer to the module's code, one should
+ be careful not to keep query handles too long if the module's
+ code is to be replaced.
+ Code replacement is described in the <seealso
+ marker="doc/reference_manual:code_loading">Erlang Reference
+ Manual</seealso>. The list of answers can also be traversed in
+ chunks by use of a <em>Query Cursor</em>. Query cursors are
+ created by calling <seealso
+ marker="#cursor">qlc:cursor/1,2</seealso> with a query handle as
+ first argument. Query cursors are essentially Erlang processes.
+ One answer at a time is sent from the query cursor process to
+ the process that created the cursor.</p>
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Syntax</title>
+
+ <p>Syntactically QLCs have the same parts as ordinary list
+ comprehensions:</p>
+
+ <code type="none">[Expression || Qualifier1, Qualifier2, ...]</code>
+
+ <p><c>Expression</c> (the <em>template</em>) is an arbitrary
+ Erlang expression. Qualifiers are either <em>filters</em> or
+ <em>generators</em>. Filters are Erlang expressions returning
+ <c>bool()</c>. Generators have the form
+ <c><![CDATA[Pattern <- ListExpression]]></c>, where
+ <c>ListExpression</c> is an expression evaluating to a query
+ handle or a list. Query handles are returned from
+ <c>qlc:table/2</c>, <c>qlc:append/1,2</c>, <c>qlc:sort/1,2</c>,
+ <c>qlc:keysort/2,3</c>, <c>qlc:q/1,2</c>, and
+ <c>qlc:string_to_handle/1,2,3</c>.</p>
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Evaluation</title>
+
+ <p>The evaluation of a query handle begins by the inspection of
+ options and the collection of information about tables. As a
+ result qualifiers are modified during the optimization phase.
+ Next all list expressions are evaluated. If a cursor has been
+ created evaluation takes place in the cursor process. For those
+ list expressions that are QLCs, the list expressions of the
+ QLCs' generators are evaluated as well. One has to be careful if
+ list expressions have side effects since the order in which list
+ expressions are evaluated is unspecified. Finally the answers
+ are found by evaluating the qualifiers from left to right,
+ backtracking when some filter returns <c>false</c>, or
+ collecting the template when all filters return <c>true</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>Filters that do not return <c>bool()</c> but fail are handled
+ differently depending on their syntax: if the filter is a guard
+ it returns <c>false</c>, otherwise the query evaluation fails.
+ This behavior makes it possible for the <c>qlc</c> module to do
+ some optimizations without affecting the meaning of a query. For
+ example, when testing some position of a table and one or more
+ constants for equality, only
+ the objects with equal values are candidates for further
+ evaluation. The other objects are guaranteed to make the filter
+ return <c>false</c>, but never fail. The (small) set of
+ candidate objects can often be found by looking up some key
+ values of the table or by traversing the table using a match
+ specification. It is necessary to place the guard filters
+ immediately after the table's generator, otherwise the candidate
+ objects will not be restricted to a small set. The reason is
+ that objects that could make the query evaluation fail must not
+ be excluded by looking up a key or running a match
+ specification.</p>
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Join</title>
+
+ <p>The <c>qlc</c> module supports fast join of two query handles.
+ Fast join is possible if some position <c>P1</c> of one query
+ handler and some position <c>P2</c> of another query handler are
+ tested for equality. Two fast join methods have been
+ implemented:</p>
+
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Lookup join traverses all objects of one query handle and
+ finds objects of the other handle (a QLC table) such that the
+ values at <c>P1</c> and <c>P2</c> match or compare equal.
+ The <c>qlc</c> module does not create
+ any indices but looks up values using the key position and
+ the indexed positions of the QLC table.
+ </item>
+ <item>Merge join sorts the objects of each query handle if
+ necessary and filters out objects where the values at
+ <c>P1</c> and <c>P2</c> do not compare equal. If there are
+ many objects with the same value of <c>P2</c> a temporary
+ file will be used for the equivalence classes.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>The <c>qlc</c> module warns at compile time if a QLC
+ combines query handles in such a way that more than one join is
+ possible. In other words, there is no query planner that can
+ choose a good order between possible join operations. It is up
+ to the user to order the joins by introducing query handles.</p>
+
+ <p>The join is to be expressed as a guard filter. The filter must
+ be placed immediately after the two joined generators, possibly
+ after guard filters that use variables from no other generators
+ but the two joined generators. The <c>qlc</c> module inspects
+ the operands of
+ <c>=:=/2</c>, <c>==/2</c>, <c>is_record/2</c>, <c>element/2</c>,
+ and logical operators (<c>and/2</c>, <c>or/2</c>,
+ <c>andalso/2</c>, <c>orelse/2</c>, <c>xor/2</c>) when
+ determining which joins to consider.</p>
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Common options</title>
+
+ <p>The following options are accepted by <c>cursor/2</c>,
+ <c>eval/2</c>, <c>fold/4</c>, and <c>info/2</c>:</p>
+
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>{cache_all, Cache}</c> where <c>Cache</c> is
+ equal to <c>ets</c> or <c>list</c> adds a
+ <c>{cache,&nbsp;Cache}</c> option to every list expression
+ of the query except tables and lists. Default is
+ <c>{cache_all,&nbsp;no}</c>. The option <c>cache_all</c> is
+ equivalent to <c>{cache_all,&nbsp;ets}</c>.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{max_list_size, MaxListSize}</c> <marker
+ id="max_list_size"></marker> where <c>MaxListSize</c> is the
+ size in bytes of terms on the external format. If the
+ accumulated size of collected objects exceeds
+ <c>MaxListSize</c> the objects are written onto a temporary
+ file. This option is used by the <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c>
+ option as well as by the merge join method. Default is
+ 512*1024 bytes.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{tmpdir_usage, TmpFileUsage}</c> determines the
+ action taken when <c>qlc</c> is about to create temporary
+ files on the directory set by the <c>tmpdir</c> option. If the
+ value is <c>not_allowed</c> an error tuple is returned,
+ otherwise temporary files are created as needed. Default is
+ <c>allowed</c> which means that no further action is taken.
+ The values <c>info_msg</c>, <c>warning_msg</c>, and
+ <c>error_msg</c> mean that the function with the corresponding
+ name in the module <c>error_logger</c> is called for printing
+ some information (currently the stacktrace).
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{tmpdir, TempDirectory}</c> sets the directory used by
+ merge join for temporary files and by the
+ <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c> option. The option also overrides
+ the <c>tmpdir</c> option of <c>keysort/3</c> and
+ <c>sort/2</c>. The default value is <c>""</c> which means that
+ the directory returned by <c>file:get_cwd()</c> is used.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{unique_all, true}</c> adds a
+ <c>{unique,&nbsp;true}</c> option to every list expression of

+ <section><title>Getting started</title>
+
+ <p><marker id="getting_started"></marker> As already mentioned
+ queries are stated in the list comprehension syntax as described
+ in the <seealso marker="doc/reference_manual:expressions">Erlang
+ Reference Manual</seealso>. In the following some familiarity
+ with list comprehensions is assumed. There are examples in
+ <seealso
+ marker="doc/programming_examples:list_comprehensions">Programming
+ Examples</seealso> that can get you started. It should be
+ stressed that list comprehensions do not add any computational
+ power to the language; anything that can be done with list
+ comprehensions can also be done without them. But they add a
+ syntax for expressing simple search problems which is compact
+ and clear once you get used to it.</p>
+
+ <p>Many list comprehension expressions can be evaluated by the
+ <c>qlc</c> module. Exceptions are expressions such that
+ variables introduced in patterns (or filters) are used in some
+ generator later in the list comprehension. As an example
+ consider an implementation of lists:append(L):
+ <c><![CDATA[[X ||Y <- L, X <- Y]]]></c>.
+ Y is introduced in the first generator and used in the second.
+ The ordinary list comprehension is normally to be preferred when
+ there is a choice as to which to use. One difference is that
+ <c>qlc:eval/1,2</c> collects answers in a list which is finally
+ reversed, while list comprehensions collect answers on the stack
+ which is finally unwound.</p>
+
+ <p>What the <c>qlc</c> module primarily adds to list
+ comprehensions is that data can be read from QLC tables in small
+ chunks. A QLC table is created by calling <c>qlc:table/2</c>.
+ Usually <c>qlc:table/2</c> is not called directly from the query
+ but via an interface function of some data structure. There are
+ a few examples of such functions in Erlang/OTP:
+ <c>mnesia:table/1,2</c>, <c>ets:table/1,2</c>, and
+ <c>dets:table/1,2</c>. For a given data structure there can be
+ several functions that create QLC tables, but common for all
+ these functions is that they return a query handle created by
+ <c>qlc:table/2</c>. Using the QLC tables provided by OTP is
+ probably sufficient in most cases, but for the more advanced
+ user the section <seealso
+ marker="#implementing_a_qlc_table">Implementing a QLC
+ table</seealso> describes the implementation of a function
+ calling <c>qlc:table/2</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>Besides <c>qlc:table/2</c> there are other functions that
+ return query handles. They might not be used as often as tables,
+ but are useful from time to time. <c>qlc:append</c> traverses
+ objects from several tables or lists after each other. If, for
+ instance, you want to traverse all answers to a query QH and
+ then finish off by a term <c>{finished}</c>, you can do that by
+ calling <c>qlc:append(QH, [{finished}])</c>. <c>append</c> first
+ returns all objects of QH, then <c>{finished}</c>. If there is
+ one tuple <c>{finished}</c> among the answers to QH it will be
+ returned twice from <c>append</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>As another example, consider concatenating the answers to two
+ queries QH1 and QH2 while removing all duplicates. The means to
+ accomplish this is to use the <c>unique</c> option:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+qlc:q([X || X <- qlc:append(QH1, QH2)], {unique, true})]]></code>
+
+ <p>The cost is substantial: every returned answer will be stored
+ in an ETS table. Before returning an answer it is looked up in
+ the ETS table to check if it has already been returned. Without
+ the <c>unique</c> options all answers to QH1 would be returned
+ followed by all answers to QH2. The <c>unique</c> options keeps
+ the order between the remaining answers.</p>
+
+ <p>If the order of the answers is not important there is the
+ alternative to sort the answers uniquely:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+qlc:sort(qlc:q([X || X <- qlc:append(QH1, QH2)], {unique, true})).]]></code>
+
+ <p>This query also removes duplicates but the answers will be
+ sorted. If there are many answers temporary files will be used.
+ Note that in order to get the first unique answer all answers
+ have to be found and sorted. Both alternatives find duplicates
+ by comparing answers, that is, if A1 and A2 are answers found in
+ that order, then A2 is a removed if A1 == A2.</p>
+
+ <p>To return just a few answers cursors can be used. The following
+ code returns no more than five answers using an ETS table for
+ storing the unique answers:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+C = qlc:cursor(qlc:q([X || X <- qlc:append(QH1, QH2)],{unique,true})),
+R = qlc:next_answers(C, 5),
+ok = qlc:delete_cursor(C),
+R.]]></code>
+
+ <p>Query list comprehensions are convenient for stating
+ constraints on data from two or more tables. An example that
+ does a natural join on two query handles on position 2:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+qlc:q([{X1,X2,X3,Y1} ||
+ {X1,X2,X3} <- QH1,
+ {Y1,Y2} <- QH2,
+ X2 =:= Y2])]]></code>
+
+ <p>The <c>qlc</c> module will evaluate this differently depending on
+ the query
+ handles <c>QH1</c> and <c>QH2</c>. If, for example, <c>X2</c> is
+ matched against the key of a QLC table the lookup join method
+ will traverse the objects of <c>QH2</c> while looking up key
+ values in the table. On the other hand, if neither <c>X2</c> nor
+ <c>Y2</c> is matched against the key or an indexed position of a
+ QLC table, the merge join method will make sure that <c>QH1</c>
+ and <c>QH2</c> are both sorted on position 2 and next do the
+ join by traversing the objects one by one.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>join</c> option can be used to force the <c>qlc</c> module
+ to use a
+ certain join method. For the rest of this section it is assumed
+ that the excessively slow join method called "nested loop" has
+ been chosen:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+qlc:q([{X1,X2,X3,Y1} ||
+ {X1,X2,X3} <- QH1,
+ {Y1,Y2} <- QH2,
+ X2 =:= Y2],
+ {join, nested_loop})]]></code>
+
+ <p>In this case the filter will be applied to every possible pair
+ of answers to QH1 and QH2, one at a time. If there are M answers
+ to QH1 and N answers to QH2 the filter will be run M*N
+ times.</p>
+
+ <p>If QH2 is a call to the function for <c>gb_trees</c> as defined
+ in the <seealso marker="#implementing_a_qlc_table">Implementing
+ a QLC table</seealso> section, <c>gb_table:table/1</c>, the
+ iterator for the gb-tree will be initiated for each answer to
+ QH1 after which the objects of the gb-tree will be returned one
+ by one. This is probably the most efficient way of traversing
+ the table in that case since it takes minimal computational
+ power to get the following object. But if QH2 is not a table but
+ a more complicated QLC, it can be more efficient use some RAM
+ memory for collecting the answers in a cache, particularly if
+ there are only a few answers. It must then be assumed that
+ evaluating QH2 has no side effects so that the meaning of the
+ query does not change if QH2 is evaluated only once. One way of
+ caching the answers is to evaluate QH2 first of all and
+ substitute the list of answers for QH2 in the query. Another way
+ is to use the <c>cache</c> option. It is stated like this:</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+QH2' = qlc:q([X || X <- QH2], {cache, ets})]]></code>
+
+ <p>or just</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+QH2' = qlc:q([X || X <- QH2], cache)]]></code>
+
+ <p>The effect of the <c>cache</c> option is that when the
+ generator QH2' is run the first time every answer is stored in
+ an ETS table. When next answer of QH1 is tried, answers to QH2'
+ are copied from the ETS table which is very fast. As for the
+ <c>unique</c> option the cost is a possibly substantial amount
+ of RAM memory. The <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c> option offers the
+ possibility to store the answers in a list on the process heap.
+ While this has the potential of being faster than ETS tables
+ since there is no need to copy answers from the table it can
+ often result in slower evaluation due to more garbage
+ collections of the process' heap as well as increased RAM memory
+ consumption due to larger heaps. Another drawback with cache
+ lists is that if the size of the list exceeds a limit a
+ temporary file will be used. Reading the answers from a file is
+ very much slower than copying them from an ETS table. But if the
+ available RAM memory is scarce setting the <seealso
+ marker="#max_list_size">limit</seealso> to some low value is an
+ alternative.</p>
+
+ <p>There is an option <c>cache_all</c> that can be set to
+ <c>ets</c> or <c>list</c> when evaluating a query. It adds a
+ <c>cache</c> or <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c> option to every list
+ expression except QLC tables and lists on all levels of the
+ query. This can be used for testing if caching would improve
+ efficiency at all. If the answer is yes further testing is
+ needed to pinpoint the generators that should be cached.</p>

+
+ <p><c>TF</c> is the traversal function. The <c>qlc</c> module
+ requires that there is a way of traversing all objects of the
+ data structure; in <c>gb_trees</c> there is an iterator function
+ suitable for that purpose. Note that for each object returned a
+ new fun is created. As long as the list is not terminated by
+ <c>[]</c> it is assumed that the tail of the list is a nullary
+ function and that calling the function returns further objects
+ (and functions).</p>
+
+ <p>The lookup function is optional. It is assumed that the lookup
+ function always finds values much faster than it would take to
+ traverse the table. The first argument is the position of the
+ key. Since <c>qlc_next</c> returns the objects as
+ {Key,&nbsp;Value} pairs the position is 1. Note that the lookup
+ function should return {Key,&nbsp;Value} pairs, just as the
+ traversal function does.</p>
+
+ <p>The format function is also optional. It is called by
+ <c>qlc:info</c> to give feedback at runtime of how the query
+ will be evaluated. One should try to give as good feedback as
+ possible without showing too much details. In the example at
+ most 7 objects of the table are shown. The format function
+ handles two cases: <c>all</c> means that all objects of the
+ table will be traversed; <c>{lookup,&nbsp;1,&nbsp;KeyValues}</c>
+ means that the lookup function will be used for looking up key
+ values.</p>
+
+ <p>Whether the whole table will be traversed or just some keys
+ looked up depends on how the query is stated. If the query has
+ the form</p>
+
+ <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+qlc:q([T || P <- LE, F])]]></code>
+
+ <p>and P is a tuple, the <c>qlc</c> module analyzes P and F in
+ compile time to find positions of the tuple P that are tested
+ for equality to constants. If such a position at runtime turns
+ out to be the key position, the lookup function can be used,
+ otherwise all objects of the table have to be traversed. It is
+ the info function <c>InfoFun</c> that returns the key position.
+ There can be indexed positions as well, also returned by the
+ info function. An index is an extra table that makes lookup on
+ some position fast. Mnesia maintains indices upon request,
+ thereby introducing so called secondary keys. The <c>qlc</c>
+ module prefers to look up objects using the key before secondary
+ keys regardless of the number of constants to look up.</p>
+
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>Key equality</title>
+
+ <p>In Erlang there are two operators for testing term equality,
+ namely <c>==/2</c> and <c>=:=/2</c>. The difference between them
+ is all about the integers that can be represented by floats. For
+ instance, <c>2 == 2.0</c> evaluates to
+ <c>true</c> while <c>2 =:= 2.0</c> evaluates to <c>false</c>.
+ Normally this is a minor issue, but the <c>qlc</c> module cannot
+ ignore the difference, which affects the user's choice of
+ operators in QLCs.</p>
+
+ <p>If the <c>qlc</c> module can find out at compile time that some
+ constant is free of integers, it does not matter which one of
+ <c>==/2</c> or <c>=:=/2</c> is used:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+1> <input>E1 = ets:new(t, [set]), % uses =:=/2 for key equality</input>
+<input>Q1 = qlc:q([K ||</input>
+<input>{K} &lt;- ets:table(E1),</input>
+<input>K == 2.71 orelse K == a]),</input>
+<input>io:format("~s~n", [qlc:info(Q1)]).</input>
+ets:match_spec_run(lists:flatmap(fun(V) ->
+ ets:lookup(20493, V)
+ end,
+ [a,2.71]),
+ ets:match_spec_compile([{{'$1'},[],['$1']}]))</pre>
+
+ <p>In the example the <c>==/2</c> operator has been handled
+ exactly as <c>=:=/2</c> would have been handled. On the other

+ when comparing keys for equality (see the option <seealso

+
+ <p>If the table uses <c>==/2</c> when comparing keys for equality,

+
+ <p>Lookup join is handled analogously to lookup of constants in a

+
+ <p>When calling <c>qlc:q/1,2</c> from the Erlang shell the

+ complains with an error message ("argument is not a query
+ list comprehension"); the shell process stops with a
+ <c>badarg</c> reason.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{cache,&nbsp;ets}</c> option can be used to cache
+ the answers to a query list comprehension. The answers are
+ stored in one ETS table for each cached query list
+ comprehension. When a cached query list comprehension is
+ evaluated again, answers are fetched from the table without
+ any further computations. As a consequence, when all answers
+ to a cached query list comprehension have been found, the
+ ETS tables used for caching answers to the query list
+ comprehension's qualifiers can be emptied. The option
+ <c>cache</c> is equivalent to <c>{cache,&nbsp;ets}</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c> option can be used to cache
+ the answers to a query list comprehension just like
+ <c>{cache,&nbsp;ets}</c>. The difference is that the answers
+ are kept in a list (on the process heap). If the answers
+ would occupy more than a certain amount of RAM memory a
+ temporary file is used for storing the answers. The option
+ <c>max_list_size</c> sets the limit in bytes and the temporary
+ file is put on the directory set by the <c>tmpdir</c> option.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>cache</c> option has no effect if it is known that
+ the query list comprehension will be evaluated at most once.
+ This is always true for the top-most query list
+ comprehension and also for the list expression of the first
+ generator in a list of qualifiers. Note that in the presence
+ of side effects in filters or callback functions the answers
+ to query list comprehensions can be affected by the
+ <c>cache</c> option.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{unique,&nbsp;true}</c> option can be used to remove
+ duplicate answers to a query list comprehension. The unique
+ answers are stored in one ETS table for each query list
+ comprehension. The table is emptied every time it is known
+ that there are no more answers to the query list
+ comprehension. The option <c>unique</c> is equivalent to
+ <c>{unique,&nbsp;true}</c>. If the <c>unique</c> option is
+ combined with the <c>{cache,&nbsp;ets}</c> option, two ETS
+ tables are used, but the full answers are stored in one
+ table only. If the <c>unique</c> option is combined with the
+ <c>{cache,&nbsp;list}</c> option the answers are sorted
+ twice using <c>keysort/3</c>; once to remove duplicates, and
+ once to restore the order.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>cache</c> and <c>unique</c> options apply not only

+ <p>In this example using the <c>gb_table</c> module from the

+ <c>{1,a}</c>, <c>{1,b}</c>, <c>{1,c}</c>, <c>{2,a}</c>,
+ <c>{2,b}</c>, and <c>{2,c}</c>. The reason is that the two
+ elements of the key {X,&nbsp;Y} are compared separately.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{lookup,&nbsp;true}</c> option can be used to ensure
+ that the <c>qlc</c> module will look up constants in some
+ QLC table. If there
+ are more than one QLC table among the generators' list
+ expressions, constants have to be looked up in at least one
+ of the tables. The evaluation of the query fails if there
+ are no constants to look up. This option is useful in
+ situations when it would be unacceptable to traverse all
+ objects in some table. Setting the <c>lookup</c> option to
+ <c>false</c> ensures that no constants will be looked up
+ (<c>{max_lookup,&nbsp;0}</c> has the same effect). The
+ default value is <c>any</c> which means that constants will
+ be looked up whenever possible.</p>
+
+ <p>The <c>{join,&nbsp;Join}</c> option can be used to ensure

+ <c>{join,&nbsp;merge}</c> invokes the merge join method; and

+ method is mostly very slow. The evaluation of the query
+ fails if the <c>qlc</c> module cannot carry out the chosen
+ join method. The
+ default value is <c>any</c> which means that some fast join
+ method will be used if possible.</p>

+ <p><marker id="table"></marker>Returns a query handle for a
+ QLC table. In Erlang/OTP there is support for ETS, Dets and
+ Mnesia tables, but it is also possible to turn many other
+ data structures into QLC tables. The way to accomplish this
+ is to let function(s) in the module implementing the data
+ structure create a query handle by calling
+ <c>qlc:table/2</c>. The different ways to traverse the table
+ as well as properties of the table are handled by callback
+ functions provided as options to <c>qlc:table/2</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>The callback function <c>TraverseFun</c> is used for
+ traversing the table. It is to return a list of objects
+ terminated by either <c>[]</c> or a nullary fun to be used
+ for traversing the not yet traversed objects of the table.
+ Any other return value is immediately returned as value of
+ the query evaluation. Unary <c>TraverseFun</c>s are to
+ accept a match specification as argument. The match
+ specification is created by the parse transform by analyzing
+ the pattern of the generator calling <c>qlc:table/2</c> and
+ filters using variables introduced in the pattern. If the
+ parse transform cannot find a match specification equivalent
+ to the pattern and filters, <c>TraverseFun</c> will be
+ called with a match specification returning every object.
+ Modules that can utilize match specifications for optimized
+ traversal of tables should call <c>qlc:table/2</c> with a
+ unary <c>TraverseFun</c> while other modules can provide a
+ nullary <c>TraverseFun</c>. <c>ets:table/2</c> is an example
+ of the former; <c>gb_table:table/1</c> in the <seealso
+ marker="#implementing_a_qlc_table">Implementing a QLC
+ table</seealso> section is an example of the latter.</p>
+
+ <p><c>PreFun</c> is a unary callback function that is called
+ once before the table is read for the first time. If the
+ call fails, the query evaluation fails. Similarly, the
+ nullary callback function <c>PostFun</c> is called once
+ after the table was last read. The return value, which is
+ caught, is ignored. If <c>PreFun</c> has been called for a
+ table, <c>PostFun</c> is guaranteed to be called for that
+ table, even if the evaluation of the query fails for some
+ reason. The order in which pre (post) functions for
+ different tables are evaluated is not specified. Other table
+ access than reading, such as calling <c>InfoFun</c>, is
+ assumed to be OK at any time. The argument <c>PreArgs</c> is
+ a list of tagged values. Currently there are two tags,
+ <c>parent_value</c> and <c>stop_fun</c>, used by Mnesia for
+ managing transactions. The value of <c>parent_value</c> is
+ the value returned by <c>ParentFun</c>, or <c>undefined</c>
+ if there is no <c>ParentFun</c>. <c>ParentFun</c> is called
+ once just before the call of <c>PreFun</c> in the context of
+ the process calling <c>eval</c>, <c>fold</c>, or
+ <c>cursor</c>. The value of <c>stop_fun</c> is a nullary fun
+ that deletes the cursor if called from the parent, or
+ <c>undefined</c> if there is no cursor.</p>
+
+ <p><marker id="lookup_fun"></marker>The binary callback
+ function <c>LookupFun</c> is used for looking up objects in
+ the table. The first argument <c>Position</c> is the key
+ position or an indexed position and the second argument
+ <c>Keys</c> is a sorted list of unique values. The return
+ value is to be a list of all objects (tuples) such that the
+ element at <c>Position</c> is a member of <c>Keys</c>. Any
+ other return value is immediately returned as value of the
+ query evaluation. <c>LookupFun</c> is called instead of
+ traversing the table if the parse transform at compile time
+ can find out that the filters match and compare the element
+ at <c>Position</c> in such a way that only <c>Keys</c> need
+ to be looked up in order to find all potential answers. The
+ key position is obtained by calling <c>InfoFun(keypos)</c>
+ and the indexed positions by calling
+ <c>InfoFun(indices)</c>. If the key position can be used for
+ lookup it is always chosen, otherwise the indexed position
+ requiring the least number of lookups is chosen. If there is
+ a tie between two indexed positions the one occurring first
+ in the list returned by <c>InfoFun</c> is chosen. Positions
+ requiring more than <seealso
+ marker="#max_lookup">max_lookup</seealso> lookups are
+ ignored.</p>
+
+ <p>The unary callback function <c>InfoFun</c> is to return
+ information about the table. <c>undefined</c> should be
+ returned if the value of some tag is unknown:</p>
+
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>indices</c>. Returns a list of indexed
+ positions, a list of positive integers.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>is_unique_objects</c>. Returns <c>true</c> if
+ the objects returned by <c>TraverseFun</c> are unique.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>keypos</c>. Returns the position of the table's
+ key, a positive integer.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>is_sorted_key</c>. Returns <c>true</c> if
+ the objects returned by <c>TraverseFun</c> are sorted
+ on the key.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>num_of_objects</c>. Returns the number of
+ objects in the table, a non-negative integer.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>The unary callback function <c>FormatFun</c> is used by
+ <seealso marker="#info">qlc:info/1,2</seealso> for
+ displaying the call that created the table's query handle.
+ The default value, <c>undefined</c>, means that
+ <c>info/1,2</c> displays a call to <c>'$MOD':'$FUN'/0</c>.
+ It is up to <c>FormatFun</c> to present the selected objects
+ of the table in a suitable way. However, if a character list
+ is chosen for presentation it must be an Erlang expression
+ that can be scanned and parsed (a trailing dot will be added
+ by <c>qlc:info</c> though). <c>FormatFun</c> is called with
+ an argument that describes the selected objects based on
+ optimizations done as a result of analyzing the filters of
+ the QLC where the call to <c>qlc:table/2</c> occurs. The
+ possible values of the argument are:</p>
+
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>{lookup, Position, Keys, NElements, DepthFun}</c>.
+ <c>LookupFun</c> is used for looking up objects in the
+ table.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{match_spec, MatchExpression}</c>. No way of
+ finding all possible answers by looking up keys was
+ found, but the filters could be transformed into a
+ match specification. All answers are found by calling
+ <c>TraverseFun(MatchExpression)</c>.
+ </item>
+ <item><c>{all, NElements, DepthFun}</c>. No optimization was
+ found. A match specification matching all objects will be
+ used if <c>TraverseFun</c> is unary.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p><c>NElements</c> is the value of the <c>info/1,2</c> option
+ <c>n_elements</c>, and <c>DepthFun</c> is a function that
+ can be used for limiting the size of terms; calling
+ <c>DepthFun(Term)</c> substitutes <c>'...'</c> for parts of
+ <c>Term</c> below the depth specified by the <c>info/1,2</c>
+ option <c>depth</c>. If calling <c>FormatFun</c> with an
+ argument including <c>NElements</c> and <c>DepthFun</c>
+ fails, <c>FormatFun</c> is called once again with an
+ argument excluding <c>NElements</c> and <c>DepthFun</c>
+ (<c>{lookup,&nbsp;Position,&nbsp;Keys}</c> or
+ <c>all</c>).</p>
+
+ <p><marker id="key_equality"></marker>The value of

+ <modulesummary>Abstract Data Type for FIFO Queues</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module implements (double ended) FIFO queues
+ in an efficient manner.</p>
+ <p>All functions fail with reason <c>badarg</c> if arguments
+ are of wrong type, for example queue arguments are not
+ queues, indexes are not integers, list arguments are
+ not lists. Improper lists cause internal crashes.
+ An index out of range for a queue also causes
+ a failure with reason <c>badarg</c>.</p>
+ <p>Some functions, where noted, fail with reason <c>empty</c>
+ for an empty queue.</p>
+ <p>The data representing a queue as used by this module
+ should be regarded as opaque by other modules. Any code
+ assuming knowledge of the format is running on thin ice.</p>
+ <p>All operations has an amortized O(1) running time, except
+ <c>len/1</c>, <c>join/2</c>, <c>split/2</c>, <c>filter/2</c>
+ and <c>member/2</c> that have O(n).
+ To minimize the size of a queue minimizing
+ the amount of garbage built by queue operations, the queues
+ do not contain explicit length information, and that is
+ why <c>len/1</c> is O(n). If better performance for this
+ particular operation is essential, it is easy for
+ the caller to keep track of the length.</p>
+ <p>Queues are double ended. The mental picture of
+ a queue is a line of people (items) waiting for
+ their turn. The queue front is the end with the item
+ that has waited the longest. The queue rear is the end
+ an item enters when it starts to wait. If instead using
+ the mental picture of a list, the front is called head
+ and the rear is called tail.</p>
+ <p>Entering at the front and exiting at the rear
+ are reverse operations on the queue.</p>
+ <p>The module has several sets of interface functions. The
+ "Original API", the "Extended API" and the "Okasaki API".</p>
+ <p>The "Original API" and the "Extended API" both use the
+ mental picture of a waiting line of items. Both also
+ have reverse operations suffixed "_r".</p>
+ <p>The "Original API" item removal functions return compound
+ terms with both the removed item and the resulting queue.
+ The "Extended API" contain alternative functions that build
+ less garbage as well as functions for just inspecting the
+ queue ends. Also the "Okasaki API" functions build less garbage.</p>
+ <p>The "Okasaki API" is inspired by "Purely Functional Data structures"
+ by Chris Okasaki. It regards queues as lists.
+ The API is by many regarded as strange and avoidable.
+ For example many reverse operations have lexically reversed names,
+ some with more readable but perhaps less understandable aliases.</p>

+ <p>Random number generator. The method is attributed to
+ B.A. Wichmann and I.D.Hill, in 'An efficient and portable
+ pseudo-random number generator', Journal of Applied
+ Statistics. AS183. 1982. Also Byte March 1987. </p>
+ <p>The current algorithm is a modification of the version attributed
+ to Richard A O'Keefe in the standard Prolog library.</p>
+ <p>Every time a random number is requested, a state is used to calculate
+ it, and a new state produced. The state can either be implicit (kept
+ in the process dictionary) or be an explicit argument and return value.
+ In this implementation, the state (the type <c>ran()</c>) consists of a
+ tuple of three integers.</p>
+ <p>It should be noted that this random number generator is not cryptographically
+ strong. If a strong cryptographic random number generator is needed for
+ example <c>crypto:rand_bytes/1</c> could be used instead.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Perl like regular expressions for Erlang</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+
+ <p>This module contains functions for regular expression
+ matching for strings and binaries.</p>
+
+ <p>The regular expression syntax and semantics resemble that of
+ Perl. This library in many ways replaces the old regexp library
+ written purely in Erlang, as it has a richer syntax as well as
+ many more options. The library is also faster than the
+ older regexp implementation.</p>
+
+ <p>Although the library's matching algorithms are currently based
+ on the PCRE library, it is not to be viewed as an Erlang to PCRE
+ mapping. Only parts of the PCRE library is interfaced and the re
+ library in some ways extend PCRE. The PCRE documentation contains
+ many parts of no interest to the Erlang programmer, why only the
+ relevant part of the documentation is included here. There should
+ bee no need to go directly to the PCRE library documentation.</p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>The Erlang literal syntax for strings give special
+ meaning to the &quot;\\&quot; (backslash) character. To literally write
+ a regular expression or a replacement string containing a
+ backslash in your code or in the shell, two backslashes have to be written:
+ &quot;\\\\&quot;.</p>

+ <desc>
+ <p>This function compiles a regular expression with the syntax
+ described below into an internal format to be used later as a
+ parameter to the run/2,3 functions.</p>
+ <p>Compiling the regular expression before matching is useful if
+ the same expression is to be used in matching against multiple
+ subjects during the program's lifetime. Compiling once and
+ executing many times is far more efficient than compiling each
+ time one wants to match.</p>
+ <p>When the unicode option is given, the regular expression should be given as a valid unicode <c>charlist()</c>, otherwise as any valid <c>iodata()</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>The options have the following meanings:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>unicode</c></tag>
+ <item>The regular expression is given as a unicode <c>charlist()</c> and the resulting regular expression code is to be run against a valid unicode <c>charlist()</c> subject.</item>
+ <tag><c>anchored</c></tag>
+ <item>The pattern is forced to be "anchored", that is, it is constrained to match only at the first matching point in the string that is being searched (the "subject string"). This effect can also be achieved by appropriate constructs in the pattern itself.</item>
+ <tag><c>caseless</c></tag>
+ <item>Letters in the pattern match both upper and lower case letters. It is equivalent to Perl's /i option, and it can be changed within a pattern by a (?i) option setting. Uppercase and lowercase letters are defined as in the ISO-8859-1 character set.</item>
+ <tag><c>dollar_endonly</c></tag>
+ <item>A dollar metacharacter in the pattern matches only at the end of the subject string. Without this option, a dollar also matches immediately before a newline at the end of the string (but not before any other newlines). The <c>dollar_endonly</c> option is ignored if <c>multiline</c> is given. There is no equivalent option in Perl, and no way to set it within a pattern.</item>
+ <tag><c>dotall</c></tag>
+ <item>A dot maturate in the pattern matches all characters, including those that indicate newline. Without it, a dot does not match when the current position is at a newline. This option is equivalent to Perl's /s option, and it can be changed within a pattern by a (?s) option setting. A negative class such as [^a] always matches newline characters, independent of the setting of this option.</item>
+ <tag><c>extended</c></tag>
+ <item>Whitespace data characters in the pattern are ignored except when escaped or inside a character class. Whitespace does not include the VT character (ASCII 11). In addition, characters between an unescaped # outside a character class and the next newline, inclusive, are also ignored. This is equivalent to Perl's /x option, and it can be changed within a pattern by a (?x) option setting.
+
+This option makes it possible to include comments inside complicated patterns. Note, however, that this applies only to data characters. Whitespace characters may never appear within special character sequences in a pattern, for example within the sequence <c>(?(</c> which introduces a conditional subpattern.</item>
+ <tag><c>firstline</c></tag>
+ <item>An unanchored pattern is required to match before or at the first newline in the subject string, though the matched text may continue over the newline.</item>
+ <tag><c>multiline</c></tag>
+ <item><p>By default, PCRE treats the subject string as consisting of a single line of characters (even if it actually contains newlines). The "start of line" metacharacter (^) matches only at the start of the string, while the "end of line" metacharacter ($) matches only at the end of the string, or before a terminating newline (unless <c>dollar_endonly</c> is given). This is the same as Perl.</p>
+
+<p>When <c>multiline</c> it is given, the "start of line" and "end of line" constructs match immediately following or immediately before internal newlines in the subject string, respectively, as well as at the very start and end. This is equivalent to Perl's /m option, and it can be changed within a pattern by a (?m) option setting. If there are no newlines in a subject string, or no occurrences of ^ or $ in a pattern, setting <c>multiline</c> has no effect.</p> </item>
+ <tag><c>no_auto_capture</c></tag>
+ <item>Disables the use of numbered capturing parentheses in the pattern. Any opening parenthesis that is not followed by ? behaves as if it were followed by ?: but named parentheses can still be used for capturing (and they acquire numbers in the usual way). There is no equivalent of this option in Perl.
+</item>
+ <tag><c>dupnames</c></tag>
+ <item>Names used to identify capturing subpatterns need not be unique. This can be helpful for certain types of pattern when it is known that only one instance of the named subpattern can ever be matched. There are more details of named subpatterns below</item>
+ <tag><c>ungreedy</c></tag>
+ <item>This option inverts the "greediness" of the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by default, but become greedy if followed by "?". It is not compatible with Perl. It can also be set by a (?U) option setting within the pattern.</item>
+ <tag><c>{newline, NLSpec}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Override the default definition of a newline in the subject string, which is LF (ASCII 10) in Erlang.</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>cr</c></tag>
+ <item>Newline is indicated by a single character CR (ASCII 13)</item>
+ <tag><c>lf</c></tag>
+ <item>Newline is indicated by a single character LF (ASCII 10), the default</item>
+ <tag><c>crlf</c></tag>
+ <item>Newline is indicated by the two-character CRLF (ASCII 13 followed by ASCII 10) sequence.</item>

+ how captured substrings are to be returned (as index tuples,
+ lists or binaries). The <c>capture</c> option makes the function
+ quite flexible and powerful. The different options are described
+ in detail below</p>
+
+ <p>If the capture options describe that no substring capturing
+ at all is to be done (<c>{capture, none}</c>), the function will
+ return the single atom <c>match</c> upon successful matching,
+ otherwise the tuple
+ <c>{match, ValueList}</c> is returned. Disabling capturing can
+ be done either by specifying <c>none</c> or an empty list as
+ <c>ValueSpec</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>A description of all the options relevant for execution follows:</p>
+
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>anchored</c></tag>
+
+ <item>Limits <c>re:run/3</c> to matching at the first matching
+ position. If a pattern was compiled with <c>anchored</c>, or
+ turned out to be anchored by virtue of its contents, it cannot
+ be made unanchored at matching time, hence there is no
+ <c>unanchored</c> option.</item>
+
+ <tag><c>global</c></tag>
+ <item>
+
+ <p>Implements global (repetitive) search as the <c>g</c> flag in
+ i.e. Perl. Each match found is returned as a separate
+ <c>list()</c> containing the specific match as well as any
+ matching subexpressions (or as specified by the <c>capture
+ option</c>). The <c>Captured</c> part of the return value will
+ hence be a <c>list()</c> of <c>list()</c>'s when this
+ option is given.</p>
+
+ <p>When the regular expression matches an empty string, the
+ behaviour might seem non-intuitive, why the behaviour requites
+ some clarifying. With the global option, <c>re:run/3</c>
+ handles empty matches in the same way as Perl, meaning that a
+ match at any point giving an empty string (with length 0) will
+ be retried with the options
+ <c>[anchored, notempty]</c> as well. If that
+ search gives a result of length &gt; 0, the result is included.
+ An example:</p>
+
+<code> re:run("cat","(|at)",[global]).</code>
+
+ <p>The matching will be performed as following:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag>At offset <c>0</c></tag>
+ <item>The regexp <c>(|at)</c> will first match at the initial
+ position of the string <c>cat</c>, giving the result set
+ <c>[{0,0},{0,0}]</c> (the second <c>{0,0}</c> is due to the
+ subexpression marked by the parentheses). As the length of the
+ match is 0, we don't advance to the next position yet.</item>
+ <tag>At offset <c>0</c> with <c>[anchored, notempty]</c></tag>
+ <item> The search is retried
+ with the options <c>[anchored, notempty]</c> at the same
+ position, which does not give any interesting result of longer
+ length, why the search position is now advanced to the next
+ character (<c>a</c>).</item>
+ <tag>At offset <c>1</c></tag>
+ <item>Now the search results in
+ <c>[{1,0},{1,0}]</c> meaning this search will also be repeated
+ with the extra options.</item>
+ <tag>At offset <c>1</c> with <c>[anchored, notempty]</c></tag>
+ <item>Now the <c>ab</c> alternative
+ is found and the result will be [{1,2},{1,2}]. The result is
+ added to the list of results and the position in the
+ search string is advanced two steps.</item>
+ <tag>At offset <c>3</c></tag>
+ <item>The search now once again
+ matches the empty string, giving <c>[{3,0},{3,0}]</c>.</item>
+ <tag>At offset <c>1</c> with <c>[anchored, notempty]</c></tag>
+ <item>This will give no result of length &gt; 0 and we are at
+ the last position, so the global search is complete.</item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The result of the call is:</p>
+
+<code> {match,[[{0,0},{0,0}],[{1,0},{1,0}],[{1,2},{1,2}],[{3,0},{3,0}]]}</code>
+</item>
+
+ <tag><c>notempty</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>An empty string is not considered to be a valid match if this
+ option is given. If there are alternatives in the pattern, they
+ are tried. If all the alternatives match the empty string, the
+ entire match fails. For example, if the pattern</p>
+<code> a?b?</code>
+ <p>is applied to a string not beginning with "a" or "b", it
+ matches the empty string at the start of the subject. With
+ <c>notempty</c> given, this match is not valid, so re:run/3 searches
+ further into the string for occurrences of "a" or "b".</p>
+
+ <p>Perl has no direct equivalent of <c>notempty</c>, but it does
+ make a special case of a pattern match of the empty string
+ within its split() function, and when using the /g modifier. It
+ is possible to emulate Perl's behavior after matching a null
+ string by first trying the match again at the same offset with
+ <c>notempty</c> and <c>anchored</c>, and then if that fails by
+ advancing the starting offset (see below) and trying an ordinary
+ match again.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>notbol</c></tag>
+
+ <item>This option specifies that the first character of the subject
+ string is not the beginning of a line, so the circumflex
+ metacharacter should not match before it. Setting this without
+ <c>multiline</c> (at compile time) causes circumflex never to
+ match. This option affects only the behavior of the circumflex
+ metacharacter. It does not affect \A.</item>
+
+ <tag><c>noteol</c></tag>
+
+ <item>This option specifies that the end of the subject string
+ is not the end of a line, so the dollar metacharacter should not

+ <tag><c>{capture, ValueSpec}</c>/<c>{capture, ValueSpec, Type}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+
+ <p>Specifies which captured substrings are returned and in what
+ format. By default,
+ <c>re:run/3</c> captures all of the matching part of the
+ substring as well as all capturing subpatterns (all of the
+ pattern is automatically captured). The default return type is
+ (zero-based) indexes of the captured parts of the string, given as
+ <c>{Offset,Length}</c> pairs (the <c>index</c> <c>Type</c> of
+ capturing).</p>
+
+ <p>As an example of the default behavior, the following call:</p>
+
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC","abcd",[]).</code>
+
+ <p>returns, as first and only captured string the matching part of the subject ("abcd" in the middle) as a index pair <c>{3,4}</c>, where character positions are zero based, just as in offsets. The return value of the call above would then be:</p>
+ <code> {match,[{3,4}]}</code>
+ <p>Another (and quite common) case is where the regular expression matches all of the subject, as in:</p>
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC",".*abcd.*",[]).</code>
+ <p>where the return value correspondingly will point out all of the string, beginning at index 0 and being 10 characters long:</p>
+ <code> {match,[{0,10}]}</code>
+
+ <p>If the regular expression contains capturing subpatterns,
+ like in the following case:</p>
+
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC",".*(abcd).*",[]).</code>
+
+ <p>all of the matched subject is captured, as
+ well as the captured substrings:</p>
+
+ <code> {match,[{0,10},{3,4}]}</code>
+
+ <p>the complete matching pattern always giving the first return value in the
+ list and the rest of the subpatterns being added in the
+ order they occurred in the regular expression.</p>
+
+ <p>The capture tuple is built up as follows:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>ValueSpec</c></tag>
+ <item><p>Specifies which captured (sub)patterns are to be returned. The ValueSpec can either be an atom describing a predefined set of return values, or a list containing either the indexes or the names of specific subpatterns to return.</p>
+ <p>The predefined sets of subpatterns are:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>all</c></tag>
+ <item>All captured subpatterns including the complete matching string. This is the default.</item>
+ <tag><c>first</c></tag>
+ <item>Only the first captured subpattern, which is always the complete matching part of the subject. All explicitly captured subpatterns are discarded.</item>
+ <tag><c>all_but_first</c></tag>
+ <item>All but the first matching subpattern, i.e. all explicitly captured subpatterns, but not the complete matching part of the subject string. This is useful if the regular expression as a whole matches a large part of the subject, but the part you're interested in is in an explicitly captured subpattern. If the return type is <c>list</c> or <c>binary</c>, not returning subpatterns you're not interested in is a good way to optimize.</item>
+ <tag><c>none</c></tag>
+ <item>Do not return matching subpatterns at all, yielding the single atom <c>match</c> as the return value of the function when matching successfully instead of the <c>{match, list()}</c> return. Specifying an empty list gives the same behavior.</item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The value list is a list of indexes for the subpatterns to return, where index 0 is for all of the pattern, and 1 is for the first explicit capturing subpattern in the regular expression, and so forth. When using named captured subpatterns (see below) in the regular expression, one can use <c>atom()</c>'s or <c>string()</c>'s to specify the subpatterns to be returned. This deserves an example, consider the following regular expression:</p>
+ <code> ".*(abcd).*"</code>
+ <p>matched against the string ""ABCabcdABC", capturing only the "abcd" part (the first explicit subpattern):</p>
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC",".*(abcd).*",[{capture,[1]}]).</code>
+ <p>The call will yield the following result:</p>
+ <code> {match,[{3,4}]}</code>
+ <p>as the first explicitly captured subpattern is "(abcd)", matching "abcd" in the subject, at (zero-based) position 3, of length 4.</p>
+ <p>Now consider the same regular expression, but with the subpattern explicitly named 'FOO':</p>
+ <code> ".*(?&lt;FOO&gt;abcd).*"</code>
+ <p>With this expression, we could still give the index of the subpattern with the following call:</p>
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC",".*(?&lt;FOO&gt;abcd).*",[{capture,[1]}]).</code>
+ <p>giving the same result as before. But as the subpattern is named, we can also give its name in the value list:</p>
+ <code> re:run("ABCabcdABC",".*(?&lt;FOO&gt;abcd).*",[{capture,['FOO']}]).</code>
+ <p>which would yield the same result as the earlier examples, namely:</p>
+ <code> {match,[{3,4}]}</code>
+
+ <p>The values list might specify indexes or names not present in
+ the regular expression, in which case the return values vary
+ depending on the type. If the type is <c>index</c>, the tuple
+ <c>{-1,0}</c> is returned for values having no corresponding
+ subpattern in the regexp, but for the other types
+ (<c>binary</c> and <c>list</c>), the values are the empty binary
+ or list respectively.</p>
+
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>Type</c></tag>
+ <item><p>Optionally specifies how captured substrings are to be returned. If omitted, the default of <c>index</c> is used. The <c>Type</c> can be one of the following:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>index</c></tag>
+ <item>Return captured substrings as pairs of byte indexes into the subject string and length of the matching string in the subject (as if the subject string was flattened with <c>iolist_to_binary/1</c> or <c>unicode:characters_to_binary/2</c> prior to matching). Note that the <c>unicode</c> option results in <em>byte-oriented</em> indexes in a (possibly imagined) <em>UTF-8 encoded</em> binary. A byte index tuple <c>{0,2}</c> might therefore represent one or two characters when <c>unicode</c> is in effect. This might seem contra-intuitive, but has been deemed the most effective and useful way to way to do it. To return lists instead might result in simpler code if that is desired. This return type is the default.</item>
+ <tag><c>list</c></tag>
+ <item>Return matching substrings as lists of characters (Erlang <c>string()</c>'s). It the <c>unicode</c> option is used in combination with the \\C sequence in the regular expression, a captured subpattern can contain bytes that has is not valid UTF-8 (\\C matches bytes regardless of character encoding). In that case the <c>list</c> capturing may result in the same types of tuples that <c>unicode:characters_to_list/2</c> can return, namely three-tuples with the tag <c>incomplete</c> or <c>error</c>, the successfully converted characters and the invalid UTF-8 tail of the conversion as a binary. The best strategy is to avoid using the\\C sequence when capturing lists.</item>
+ <tag><c>binary</c></tag>
+ <item>Return matching substrings as binaries. If the <c>unicode</c> option is used, these binaries is in UTF-8. If the \\C sequence is used together with <c>unicode</c> the binaries may be invalid UTF-8.</item>
+ </taglist>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>In general, subpatterns that got assigned no value in the match are returned as the tuple <c>{-1,0}</c> when <c>type</c> is <c>index</c>. Unassigned subpatterns are returned as the empty binary or list respectively for other return types. Consider the regular expression:</p>
+<code> ".*((?&lt;FOO&gt;abdd)|a(..d)).*"</code>
+ <p>There are three explicitly capturing subpatterns, where the opening parenthesis position determines the order in the result, hence <c>((?&lt;FOO&gt;abdd)|a(..d))</c> is subpattern index 1, <c>(?&lt;FOO&gt;abdd)</c> is subpattern index 2 and <c>(..d)</c> is subpattern index 3. When matched against the following string:</p>
+<code> "ABCabcdABC"</code>
+ <p>the subpattern at index 2 won't match, as "abdd" is not present in the string, but the complete pattern matches (due to the alternative <c>a(..d)</c>. The subpattern at index 2 is therefore unassigned and the default return value will be:</p>
+<code> {match,[{0,10},{3,4},{-1,0},{4,3}]}</code>
+ <p>Setting the capture <c>Type</c> to <c>binary</c> would give the following:</p>
+<code> {match,[&lt;&lt;"ABCabcdABC"&gt;&gt;,&lt;&lt;"abcd"&gt;&gt;,&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;,&lt;&lt;"bcd"&gt;&gt;]}</code>
+ <p>where the empty binary (<c>&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;</c>) represents the unassigned subpattern. In the <c>binary</c> case, some information about the matching is therefore lost, the <c>&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;</c> might just as well be an empty string captured.</p>
+ <p>If differentiation between empty matches and non existing subpatterns is necessary, use the <c>type</c> <c>index</c>
+ and do the conversion to the final type in Erlang code.</p>
+
+ <p>When the option <c>global</c> is given, the <c>capture</c>
+ specification affects each match separately, so that:</p>
+
+ <code> re:run("cacb","c(a|b)",[global,{capture,[1],list}]).</code>
+
+ <p>gives the result:</p>
+
+ <code> {match,[["a"],["b"]]}</code>

+ <p>This function splits the input into parts by finding tokens
+ according to the regular expression supplied.</p>
+
+ <p>The splitting is done basically by running a global regexp match and
+ dividing the initial string wherever a match occurs. The matching part
+ of the string is removed from the output.</p>
+
+ <p>As in the <c>re:run/3</c> function, an <c>mp()</c> compiled
+ with the <c>unicode</c> option requires the <c>Subject</c> to be
+ a Unicode <c>charlist()</c>. If compilation is done implicitly
+ and the <c>unicode</c> compilation option is given to this
+ function, both the regular expression and the <c>Subject</c>
+ should be given as valid Unicode <c>charlist()</c>'s.</p>
+
+ <p>The result is given as a list of &quot;strings&quot;, the
+ preferred datatype given in the <c>return</c> option (default iodata).</p>
+ <p>If subexpressions are given in the regular expression, the
+ matching subexpressions are returned in the resulting list as
+ well. An example:</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","[ln]",[{return,list}]).</code>
+
+ <p>will yield the result:</p>
+
+<code> ["Er","a","g"]</code>
+
+ <p>while</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","([ln])",[{return,list}]).</code>
+
+ <p>will yield</p>
+
+<code> ["Er","l","a","n","g"]</code>
+
+ <p>The text matching the subexpression (marked by the parentheses
+ in the regexp) is
+ inserted in the result list where it was found. In effect this means
+ that concatenating the result of a split where the whole regexp is a
+ single subexpression (as in the example above) will always result in
+ the original string.</p>
+
+ <p>As there is no matching subexpression for the last part in
+ the example (the &quot;g&quot;), there is nothing inserted after
+ that. To make the group of strings and the parts matching the
+ subexpressions more obvious, one might use the <c>group</c>
+ option, which groups together the part of the subject string with the
+ parts matching the subexpressions when the string was split:</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","([ln])",[{return,list},group]).</code>
+
+ <p>gives:</p>
+
+<code> [["Er","l"],["a","n"],["g"]]</code>
+
+ <p>Here the regular expression matched first the &quot;l&quot;,
+ causing &quot;Er&quot; to be the first part in the result. When
+ the regular expression matched, the (only) subexpression was
+ bound to the &quot;l&quot;, why the &quot;l&quot; is inserted
+ in the group together with &quot;Er&quot;. The next match is of
+ the &quot;n&quot;, making &quot;a&quot; the next part to be
+ returned. As the subexpression is bound to the substring
+ &quot;n&quot; in this case, the &quot;n&quot; is inserted into
+ this group. The last group consists of the rest of the string,
+ as no more matches are found.</p>
+
+
+ <p>By default, all parts of the string, including the empty
+ strings are returned from the function. As an example:</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","[lg]",[{return,list}]).</code>
+
+ <p>The result will be:</p>
+
+<code> ["Er","an",[]]</code>
+
+ <p>as the matching of the &quot;g&quot; in the end of the string
+ leaves an empty rest which is also returned. This behaviour
+ differs from the default behaviour of the split function in
+ Perl, where empty strings at the end are by default removed. To
+ get the
+ &quot;trimming&quot; default behavior of Perl, specify
+ <c>trim</c> as an option:</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","[lg]",[{return,list},trim]).</code>
+
+ <p>The result will be:</p>
+
+<code> ["Er","an"]</code>
+
+ <p>The &quot;trim&quot; option in effect says; &quot;give me as
+ many parts as possible except the empty ones&quot;, which might
+ be useful in some circumstances. You can also specify how many
+ parts you want, by specifying <c>{parts,</c>N<c>}</c>:</p>
+
+<code> re:split("Erlang","[lg]",[{return,list},{parts,2}]).</code>
+
+ <p>This will give:</p>
+
+<code> ["Er","ang"]</code>
+
+ <p>Note that the last part is &quot;ang&quot;, not
+ &quot;an&quot;, as we only specified splitting into two parts,

+
+ <p>If you are familiar with Perl, the <c>trim</c>

+<section><marker id="sect1"></marker><title>Newline conventions</title>
+
+<p>PCRE supports
+five
+different conventions for indicating line breaks in
+strings: a single CR (carriage return) character, a single LF (linefeed)
+character, the two-character sequence CRLF
+, any of the three preceding, or any
+Unicode newline sequence.</p>
+
+<p>It is also possible to specify a newline convention by starting a pattern
+string with one of the following five sequences:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>(*CR)</tag> <item>carriage return</item>
+ <tag>(*LF)</tag> <item>linefeed</item>
+ <tag>(*CRLF)</tag> <item>carriage return, followed by linefeed</item>
+ <tag>(*ANYCRLF)</tag> <item>any of the three above</item>
+ <tag>(*ANY)</tag> <item>all Unicode newline sequences</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>These override the default and the options given to <c>re:compile/2</c>. For
+example, the pattern:</p>
+
+<quote>
+<p> (*CR)a.b</p>
+</quote>
+
+<p>changes the convention to CR. That pattern matches "a\\nb" because LF is no
+longer a newline. Note that these special settings, which are not
+Perl-compatible, are recognized only at the very start of a pattern, and that
+they must be in upper case. If more than one of them is present, the last one
+is used.</p>
+
+<p>The newline convention does not affect what the \\R escape sequence matches. By
+default, this is any Unicode newline sequence, for Perl compatibility. However,
+this can be changed; see the description of \\R in the section entitled
+
+"Newline sequences"
+
+below. A change of \\R setting can be combined with a change of newline
+convention.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+
+<section><marker id="sect2"></marker><title>Characters and metacharacters</title>
+<!-- .rs -->
+
+<p>A regular expression is a pattern that is matched against a subject
+string from left to right. Most characters stand for themselves in a
+pattern, and match the corresponding characters in the subject. As a
+trivial example, the pattern</p>
+
+<quote>
+<p> The quick brown fox</p>
+</quote>
+
+<p>matches a portion of a subject string that is identical to
+itself. When caseless matching is specified (the <c>caseless</c>
+option), letters are matched independently of case.</p>
+
+<p>The power of regular expressions comes from the ability to include
+alternatives and repetitions in the pattern. These are encoded in the
+pattern by the use of <em>metacharacters</em>, which do not stand for
+themselves but instead are interpreted in some special way.</p>
+
+<p>There are two different sets of metacharacters: those that are recognized
+anywhere in the pattern except within square brackets, and those that are
+recognized within square brackets. Outside square brackets, the metacharacters
+are as follows:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\</tag> <item>general escape character with several uses</item>
+ <tag>^</tag> <item>assert start of string (or line, in multiline mode)</item>
+ <tag>$</tag> <item>assert end of string (or line, in multiline mode)</item>
+ <tag>.</tag> <item>match any character except newline (by default)</item>
+ <tag>[</tag> <item>start character class definition</item>
+ <tag>|</tag> <item>start of alternative branch</item>
+ <tag>(</tag> <item>start subpattern</item>
+ <tag>)</tag> <item>end subpattern</item>
+ <tag>?</tag> <item>extends the meaning of (,
+ also 0 or 1 quantifier,
+ also quantifier minimizer</item>
+ <tag>*</tag> <item>0 or more quantifier</item>
+ <tag>+</tag> <item>1 or more quantifier,
+ also "possessive quantifier"</item>
+ <tag>{</tag> <item>start min/max quantifier</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>Part of a pattern that is in square brackets is called a "character class". In
+a character class the only metacharacters are:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\</tag> <item>general escape character</item>
+ <tag>^</tag> <item>negate the class, but only if the first character</item>
+ <tag>-</tag> <item>indicates character range</item>
+ <tag>[</tag> <item>POSIX character class (only if followed by POSIX
+ syntax)</item>
+ <tag>]</tag> <item>terminates the character class</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>The following sections describe the use of each of the metacharacters.</p>
+
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect3"></marker><title>Backslash</title>
+
+
+<p>The backslash character has several uses. Firstly, if it is followed by a
+non-alphanumeric character, it takes away any special meaning that character
+may have. This use of backslash as an escape character applies both inside and
+outside character classes.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if you want to match a * character, you write \\* in the pattern.
+This escaping action applies whether or not the following character would
+otherwise be interpreted as a metacharacter, so it is always safe to precede a
+non-alphanumeric with backslash to specify that it stands for itself. In
+particular, if you want to match a backslash, you write \\\\.</p>
+
+<p>If a pattern is compiled with the <c>extended</c> option, whitespace in the
+pattern (other than in a character class) and characters between a # outside
+a character class and the next newline are ignored. An escaping backslash can
+be used to include a whitespace or # character as part of the pattern.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to remove the special meaning from a sequence of characters, you
+can do so by putting them between \\Q and \\E. This is different from Perl in
+that $ and @ are handled as literals in \\Q...\\E sequences in PCRE, whereas in
+Perl, $ and @ cause variable interpolation. Note the following examples:</p>
+<code type="none">
+ Pattern PCRE matches Perl matches
+
+ \\Qabc$xyz\\E abc$xyz abc followed by the contents of $xyz
+ \\Qabc\\$xyz\\E abc\\$xyz abc\\$xyz
+ \\Qabc\\E\\$\\Qxyz\\E abc$xyz abc$xyz</code>
+
+
+<p>The \\Q...\\E sequence is recognized both inside and outside character classes.</p>
+
+
+<p><em>Non-printing characters</em></p>
+
+<p>A second use of backslash provides a way of encoding non-printing characters
+in patterns in a visible manner. There is no restriction on the appearance of
+non-printing characters, apart from the binary zero that terminates a pattern,
+but when a pattern is being prepared by text editing, it is usually easier to
+use one of the following escape sequences than the binary character it
+represents:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\a</tag> <item>alarm, that is, the BEL character (hex 07)</item>
+ <tag>\\cx</tag> <item>"control-x", where x is any character</item>
+ <tag>\\e </tag> <item>escape (hex 1B)</item>
+ <tag>\\f</tag> <item>formfeed (hex 0C)</item>
+ <tag>\\n</tag> <item>linefeed (hex 0A)</item>
+ <tag>\\r</tag> <item>carriage return (hex 0D)</item>
+ <tag>\\t </tag> <item>tab (hex 09)</item>
+ <tag>\\ddd</tag> <item>character with octal code ddd, or backreference</item>
+ <tag>\\xhh </tag> <item>character with hex code hh</item>
+ <tag>\\x{hhh..}</tag> <item>character with hex code hhh..</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>The precise effect of \\cx is as follows: if x is a lower case letter, it
+is converted to upper case. Then bit 6 of the character (hex 40) is inverted.
+Thus \\cz becomes hex 1A, but \\c{ becomes hex 3B, while \\c; becomes hex
+7B.</p>
+
+<p>After \\x, from zero to two hexadecimal digits are read (letters can be in
+upper or lower case). Any number of hexadecimal digits may appear between \\x{
+and }, but the value of the character code must be less than 256 in non-UTF-8
+mode, and less than 2**31 in UTF-8 mode. That is, the maximum value in
+hexadecimal is 7FFFFFFF. Note that this is bigger than the largest Unicode code
+point, which is 10FFFF.</p>
+
+<p>If characters other than hexadecimal digits appear between \\x{ and }, or if
+there is no terminating }, this form of escape is not recognized. Instead, the
+initial \\x will be interpreted as a basic hexadecimal escape, with no
+following digits, giving a character whose value is zero.</p>
+
+<p>Characters whose value is less than 256 can be defined by either of the two
+syntaxes for \\x. There is no difference in the way they are handled. For
+example, \\xdc is exactly the same as \\x{dc}.</p>
+
+<p>After \\0 up to two further octal digits are read. If there are fewer than two
+digits, just those that are present are used. Thus the sequence \\0\\x\\07
+specifies two binary zeros followed by a BEL character (code value 7). Make
+sure you supply two digits after the initial zero if the pattern character that
+follows is itself an octal digit.</p>
+
+<p>The handling of a backslash followed by a digit other than 0 is complicated.
+Outside a character class, PCRE reads it and any following digits as a decimal
+number. If the number is less than 10, or if there have been at least that many
+previous capturing left parentheses in the expression, the entire sequence is
+taken as a <em>back reference</em>. A description of how this works is given
+later, following the discussion of parenthesized subpatterns.</p>
+
+
+<p>Inside a character class, or if the decimal number is greater than 9 and there
+have not been that many capturing subpatterns, PCRE re-reads up to three octal
+digits following the backslash, and uses them to generate a data character. Any
+subsequent digits stand for themselves.
+The value of a
+character specified in octal must be less than \\400.
+In non-UTF-8 mode, the value of a
+character specified in octal must be less than \\400. In UTF-8 mode, values up
+to \\777 are permitted.
+
+For example:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\040</tag> <item>is another way of writing a space</item>
+
+ <tag>\\40</tag> <item>is the same, provided there are fewer than 40
+ previous capturing subpatterns</item>
+ <tag>\\7</tag> <item>is always a back reference</item>
+
+ <tag>\\11</tag> <item> might be a back reference, or another way of
+ writing a tab</item>
+ <tag>\\011</tag> <item>is always a tab</item>
+ <tag>\\0113</tag> <item>is a tab followed by the character "3"</item>
+
+ <tag>\\113</tag> <item>might be a back reference, otherwise the
+ character with octal code 113</item>
+
+ <tag>\\377</tag> <item>might be a back reference, otherwise
+ the byte consisting entirely of 1 bits</item>
+
+ <tag>\\81</tag> <item>is either a back reference, or a binary zero
+ followed by the two characters "8" and "1"</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>Note that octal values of 100 or greater must not be introduced by
+a leading zero, because no more than three octal digits are ever
+read.</p>
+
+<p>All the sequences that define a single character value can be used
+both inside and outside character classes. In addition, inside a
+character class, the sequence \\b is interpreted as the backspace
+character (hex 08), and the sequences \\R and \\X are interpreted as
+the characters "R" and "X", respectively. Outside a character class,
+these sequences have different meanings (see below).</p>
+
+<p><em>Absolute and relative back references</em></p>
+
+<p>The sequence \\g followed by an unsigned or a negative number,
+optionally enclosed in braces, is an absolute or relative back
+reference. A named back reference can be coded as \\g{name}. Back
+references are discussed later, following the discussion of
+parenthesized subpatterns.</p>
+
+<p><em>Generic character types</em></p>
+
+<p>Another use of backslash is for specifying generic character types. The
+following are always recognized:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\d</tag> <item>any decimal digit</item>
+ <tag>\\D</tag> <item>any character that is not a decimal digit</item>
+ <tag>\\h</tag> <item>any horizontal whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\H</tag> <item>any character that is not a horizontal whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\s</tag> <item>any whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\S</tag> <item>any character that is not a whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\v</tag> <item>any vertical whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\V</tag> <item>any character that is not a vertical whitespace character</item>
+ <tag>\\w</tag> <item>any "word" character</item>
+ <tag>\\W</tag> <item>any "non-word" character</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>Each pair of escape sequences partitions the complete set of characters into
+two disjoint sets. Any given character matches one, and only one, of each pair.</p>
+
+<p>These character type sequences can appear both inside and outside character
+classes. They each match one character of the appropriate type. If the current
+matching point is at the end of the subject string, all of them fail, since
+there is no character to match.</p>
+
+<p>For compatibility with Perl, \\s does not match the VT character (code 11).
+This makes it different from the POSIX "space" class. The \\s characters
+are HT (9), LF (10), FF (12), CR (13), and space (32). If "use locale;" is
+included in a Perl script, \\s may match the VT character. In PCRE, it never
+does.</p>
+
+<p>In UTF-8 mode, characters with values greater than 128 never match \\d, \\s, or
+\\w, and always match \\D, \\S, and \\W. This is true even when Unicode
+character property support is available. These sequences retain their original
+meanings from before UTF-8 support was available, mainly for efficiency
+reasons.</p>
+
+<p>The sequences \\h, \\H, \\v, and \\V are Perl 5.10 features. In contrast to the
+other sequences, these do match certain high-valued codepoints in UTF-8 mode.
+The horizontal space characters are:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>U+0009</tag> <item>Horizontal tab</item>
+ <tag>U+0020</tag> <item>Space</item>
+ <tag>U+00A0</tag> <item>Non-break space</item>

+ <tag>U+205F</tag> <item>Medium mathematical space</item>
+ <tag>U+3000</tag> <item>Ideographic space</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>The vertical space characters are:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>U+000A</tag> <item>Linefeed</item>
+ <tag>U+000B</tag> <item>Vertical tab</item>
+ <tag>U+000C</tag> <item>Formfeed</item>
+ <tag>U+000D</tag> <item>Carriage return</item>
+ <tag>U+0085</tag> <item>Next line</item>
+ <tag>U+2028</tag> <item>Line separator</item>
+ <tag>U+2029</tag> <item>Paragraph separator</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>A "word" character is an underscore or any character less than 256 that is a
+letter or digit. The definition of letters and digits is controlled by PCRE's
+low-valued character tables, which are always ISO-8859-1.</p>
+
+<p><em>Newline sequences</em></p>
+
+<p>Outside a character class, by default, the escape sequence \\R matches any
+Unicode newline sequence. This is a Perl 5.10 feature. In non-UTF-8 mode \\R is
+equivalent to the following:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&gt;\\r\\n|\\n|\\x0b|\\f|\\r|\\x85)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This is an example of an "atomic group", details of which are given below.</p>
+
+<p>This particular group matches either the two-character sequence CR followed by
+LF, or one of the single characters LF (linefeed, U+000A), VT (vertical tab,
+U+000B), FF (formfeed, U+000C), CR (carriage return, U+000D), or NEL (next
+line, U+0085). The two-character sequence is treated as a single unit that
+cannot be split.</p>
+
+<p>In UTF-8 mode, two additional characters whose codepoints are greater than 255
+are added: LS (line separator, U+2028) and PS (paragraph separator, U+2029).
+Unicode character property support is not needed for these characters to be
+recognized.</p>
+
+
+<p>It is possible to restrict \\R to match only CR, LF, or CRLF (instead of the
+complete set of Unicode line endings) by setting the option <c>bsr_anycrlf</c>
+either at compile time or when the pattern is matched. (BSR is an abbreviation
+for "backslash R".) This can be made the default when PCRE is built; if this is
+the case, the other behaviour can be requested via the <c>bsr_unicode</c> option.
+It is also possible to specify these settings by starting a pattern string with
+one of the following sequences:</p>
+
+<p> (*BSR_ANYCRLF) CR, LF, or CRLF only
+ (*BSR_UNICODE) any Unicode newline sequence</p>
+
+<p>These override the default and the options given to <c>re:compile/2</c>, but
+they can be overridden by options given to <c>re:run/3</c>. Note that these
+special settings, which are not Perl-compatible, are recognized only at the
+very start of a pattern, and that they must be in upper case. If more than one
+of them is present, the last one is used. They can be combined with a change of
+newline convention, for example, a pattern can start with:</p>
+
+<p> (*ANY)(*BSR_ANYCRLF)</p>
+
+<p>Inside a character class, \\R matches the letter "R".</p>
+
+
+<p><em>Unicode character properties</em></p>
+
+<p>When PCRE is built with Unicode character property support, three additional
+escape sequences that match characters with specific properties are available.
+When not in UTF-8 mode, these sequences are of course limited to testing
+characters whose codepoints are less than 256, but they do work in this mode.
+The extra escape sequences are:</p>
+
+<p> \\p{<em>xx</em>} a character with the <em>xx</em> property
+ \\P{<em>xx</em>} a character without the <em>xx</em> property
+ \\X an extended Unicode sequence</p>
+
+<p>The property names represented by <em>xx</em> above are limited to the Unicode
+script names, the general category properties, and "Any", which matches any
+character (including newline). Other properties such as "InMusicalSymbols" are
+not currently supported by PCRE. Note that \\P{Any} does not match any
+characters, so always causes a match failure.</p>
+
+<p>Sets of Unicode characters are defined as belonging to certain scripts. A
+character from one of these sets can be matched using a script name. For
+example:</p>
+
+<p> \\p{Greek}
+ \\P{Han}</p>
+
+<p>Those that are not part of an identified script are lumped together as
+"Common". The current list of scripts is:</p>
+
+<list>
+<item>Arabic</item>
+<item>Armenian</item>

+
+<p>The special property L&amp; is also supported: it matches a character that has
+the Lu, Ll, or Lt property, in other words, a letter that is not classified as
+a modifier or "other".</p>
+
+<p>The Cs (Surrogate) property applies only to characters in the range U+D800 to
+U+DFFF. Such characters are not valid in UTF-8 strings (see RFC 3629) and so
+cannot be tested by PCRE, unless UTF-8 validity checking has been turned off
+(see the discussion of <c>no_utf8_check</c> in the
+<em>pcreapi</em>
+page).</p>
+
+<p>The long synonyms for these properties that Perl supports (such as \\p{Letter})
+are not supported by PCRE, nor is it permitted to prefix any of these
+properties with "Is".</p>
+
+<p>No character that is in the Unicode table has the Cn (unassigned) property.
+Instead, this property is assumed for any code point that is not in the
+Unicode table.</p>
+
+<p>Specifying caseless matching does not affect these escape sequences. For
+example, \\p{Lu} always matches only upper case letters.</p>
+
+<p>The \\X escape matches any number of Unicode characters that form an extended
+Unicode sequence. \\X is equivalent to</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&gt;\\PM\\pM*)</p></quote>
+
+<p>That is, it matches a character without the "mark" property, followed by zero
+or more characters with the "mark" property, and treats the sequence as an
+atomic group
+(see below).
+Characters with the "mark" property are typically accents that affect the
+preceding character. None of them have codepoints less than 256, so in
+non-UTF-8 mode \\X matches any one character.</p>
+
+<p>Matching characters by Unicode property is not fast, because PCRE has to search
+a structure that contains data for over fifteen thousand characters. That is
+why the traditional escape sequences such as \\d and \\w do not use Unicode
+properties in PCRE.</p>
+
+<p><em>Resetting the match start</em></p>
+
+<p>The escape sequence \\K, which is a Perl 5.10 feature, causes any previously
+matched characters not to be included in the final matched sequence. For
+example, the pattern:</p>
+
+<quote><p> foo\\Kbar</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "foobar", but reports that it has matched "bar". This feature is
+similar to a lookbehind assertion
+<!-- HTML &lt;a href="#lookbehind"&gt; -->
+<!-- &lt;/a&gt; -->
+(described below).
+
+However, in this case, the part of the subject before the real match does not
+have to be of fixed length, as lookbehind assertions do. The use of \\K does
+not interfere with the setting of
+captured substrings.
+For example, when the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (foo)\\Kbar</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "foobar", the first substring is still set to "foo".</p>
+
+<p><em>Simple assertions</em></p>
+
+<p>The final use of backslash is for certain simple assertions. An
+assertion specifies a condition that has to be met at a particular
+point in a match, without consuming any characters from the subject
+string. The use of subpatterns for more complicated assertions is
+described below. The backslashed assertions are:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>\\b</tag> <item>matches at a word boundary</item>
+ <tag>\\B</tag> <item>matches when not at a word boundary</item>
+ <tag>\\A</tag> <item>matches at the start of the subject</item>
+ <tag>\\Z</tag> <item>matches at the end of the subject
+ also matches before a newline at the end of
+ the subject</item>
+ <tag>\\z</tag> <item>matches only at the end of the subject</item>
+ <tag>\\G</tag> <item>matches at the first matching position in the
+ subject</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>These assertions may not appear in character classes (but note that \\b has a
+different meaning, namely the backspace character, inside a character class).</p>
+
+<p>A word boundary is a position in the subject string where the current character
+and the previous character do not both match \\w or \\W (i.e. one matches
+\\w and the other matches \\W), or the start or end of the string if the
+first or last character matches \\w, respectively.</p>
+
+<p>The \\A, \\Z, and \\z assertions differ from the traditional circumflex and
+dollar (described in the next section) in that they only ever match at the very
+start and end of the subject string, whatever options are set. Thus, they are
+independent of multiline mode. These three assertions are not affected by the
+<c>notbol</c> or <c>noteol</c> options, which affect only the behaviour of the
+circumflex and dollar metacharacters. However, if the <em>startoffset</em>
+argument of <c>re:run/3</c> is non-zero, indicating that matching is to start
+at a point other than the beginning of the subject, \\A can never match. The
+difference between \\Z and \\z is that \\Z matches before a newline at the end
+of the string as well as at the very end, whereas \\z matches only at the end.</p>
+
+<p>The \\G assertion is true only when the current matching position is at the
+start point of the match, as specified by the <em>startoffset</em> argument of
+<c>re:run/3</c>. It differs from \\A when the value of <em>startoffset</em> is
+non-zero. By calling <c>re:run/3</c> multiple times with appropriate
+arguments, you can mimic Perl's /g option, and it is in this kind of
+implementation where \\G can be useful.</p>
+
+<p>Note, however, that PCRE's interpretation of \\G, as the start of the current
+match, is subtly different from Perl's, which defines it as the end of the
+previous match. In Perl, these can be different when the previously matched
+string was empty. Because PCRE does just one match at a time, it cannot
+reproduce this behaviour.</p>
+
+<p>If all the alternatives of a pattern begin with \\G, the expression is anchored
+to the starting match position, and the "anchored" flag is set in the compiled
+regular expression.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect4"></marker><title>Circumflex and dollar</title>
+
+<p>Outside a character class, in the default matching mode, the circumflex
+character is an assertion that is true only if the current matching point is
+at the start of the subject string. If the <em>startoffset</em> argument of
+<c>re:run/3</c> is non-zero, circumflex can never match if the <c>multiline</c>
+option is unset. Inside a character class, circumflex has an entirely different
+meaning (see below).</p>
+
+<p>Circumflex need not be the first character of the pattern if a number of
+alternatives are involved, but it should be the first thing in each alternative
+in which it appears if the pattern is ever to match that branch. If all
+possible alternatives start with a circumflex, that is, if the pattern is
+constrained to match only at the start of the subject, it is said to be an
+"anchored" pattern. (There are also other constructs that can cause a pattern
+to be anchored.)</p>
+
+<p>A dollar character is an assertion that is true only if the current matching
+point is at the end of the subject string, or immediately before a newline
+at the end of the string (by default). Dollar need not be the last character of
+the pattern if a number of alternatives are involved, but it should be the last
+item in any branch in which it appears. Dollar has no special meaning in a
+character class.</p>
+
+<p>The meaning of dollar can be changed so that it matches only at the
+very end of the string, by setting the <c>dollar_endonly</c> option at
+compile time. This does not affect the \\Z assertion.</p>
+
+<p>The meanings of the circumflex and dollar characters are changed if the
+<c>multiline</c> option is set. When this is the case, a circumflex matches
+immediately after internal newlines as well as at the start of the subject
+string. It does not match after a newline that ends the string. A dollar
+matches before any newlines in the string, as well as at the very end, when
+<c>multiline</c> is set. When newline is specified as the two-character
+sequence CRLF, isolated CR and LF characters do not indicate newlines.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the pattern /^abc$/ matches the subject string
+"def\\nabc" (where \\n represents a newline) in multiline mode, but
+not otherwise. Consequently, patterns that are anchored in single line
+mode because all branches start with ^ are not anchored in multiline
+mode, and a match for circumflex is possible when the
+<em>startoffset</em> argument of <c>re:run/3</c> is non-zero. The
+<c>dollar_endonly</c> option is ignored if <c>multiline</c> is set.</p>
+
+<p>Note that the sequences \\A, \\Z, and \\z can be used to match the start and
+end of the subject in both modes, and if all branches of a pattern start with
+\\A it is always anchored, whether or not <c>multiline</c> is set.</p>
+
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect5"></marker><title>Full stop (period, dot)</title>
+
+<p>Outside a character class, a dot in the pattern matches any one character in
+the subject string except (by default) a character that signifies the end of a
+line.
+ In UTF-8 mode, the matched character may be more than one byte long.
+</p>
+
+<p>When a line ending is defined as a single character, dot never matches that
+character; when the two-character sequence CRLF is used, dot does not match CR
+if it is immediately followed by LF, but otherwise it matches all characters
+(including isolated CRs and LFs).
+When any Unicode line endings are being
+recognized, dot does not match CR or LF or any of the other line ending
+characters.
+</p>
+
+<p>The behaviour of dot with regard to newlines can be changed. If
+the <c>dotall</c> option is set, a dot matches any one character,
+without exception. If the two-character sequence CRLF is present in
+the subject string, it takes two dots to match it.</p>
+
+<p>The handling of dot is entirely independent of the handling of
+circumflex and dollar, the only relationship being that they both
+involve newlines. Dot has no special meaning in a character class.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect6"></marker><title>Matching a single byte</title>
+
+<p>Outside a character class, the escape sequence \\C matches any one byte, both
+in and out of UTF-8 mode. Unlike a dot, it always matches any line-ending
+characters. The feature is provided in Perl in order to match individual bytes
+in UTF-8 mode. Because it breaks up UTF-8 characters into individual bytes,
+what remains in the string may be a malformed UTF-8 string. For this reason,
+the \\C escape sequence is best avoided.</p>
+
+<p>PCRE does not allow \\C to appear in lookbehind assertions (described below),
+because in UTF-8 mode this would make it impossible to calculate the length of
+the lookbehind.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect7"></marker><title>Square brackets and character classes</title>
+
+<p>An opening square bracket introduces a character class, terminated
+by a closing square bracket. A closing square bracket on its own is
+not special. If a closing square bracket is required as a member of
+the class, it should be the first data character in the class (after
+an initial circumflex, if present) or escaped with a backslash.</p>
+
+<p>A character class matches a single character in the subject.
+In
+UTF-8 mode, the character may occupy more than one byte.
+A matched
+character must be in the set of characters defined by the class,
+unless the first character in the class definition is a circumflex, in
+which case the subject character must not be in the set defined by the
+class. If a circumflex is actually required as a member of the class,
+ensure it is not the first character, or escape it with a
+backslash.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the character class [aeiou] matches any lower case vowel, while
+[^aeiou] matches any character that is not a lower case vowel. Note that a
+circumflex is just a convenient notation for specifying the characters that
+are in the class by enumerating those that are not. A class that starts with a
+circumflex is not an assertion: it still consumes a character from the subject
+string, and therefore it fails if the current pointer is at the end of the
+string.</p>
+
+<p>In UTF-8 mode, characters with values greater than 255 can be included in a
+class as a literal string of bytes, or by using the \\x{ escaping mechanism.</p>
+
+<p>When caseless matching is set, any letters in a class represent both their
+upper case and lower case versions, so for example, a caseless [aeiou] matches
+"A" as well as "a", and a caseless [^aeiou] does not match "A", whereas a
+caseful version would.
+In UTF-8 mode, PCRE always understands the concept of
+case for characters whose values are less than 128, so caseless matching is
+always possible. For characters with higher values, the concept of case is
+supported if PCRE is compiled with Unicode property support, but not otherwise.
+If you want to use caseless matching for characters 128 and above, you must
+ensure that PCRE is compiled with Unicode property support as well as with
+UTF-8 support.
+</p>
+
+<p>Characters that might indicate line breaks are never treated in any
+special way when matching character classes, whatever line-ending
+sequence is in use, and whatever setting of the <c>dotall</c> and
+<c>multiline</c> options is used. A class such as [^a] always matches
+one of these characters.</p>
+
+<p>The minus (hyphen) character can be used to specify a range of
+characters in a character class. For example, [d-m] matches any letter
+between d and m, inclusive. If a minus character is required in a
+class, it must be escaped with a backslash or appear in a position
+where it cannot be interpreted as indicating a range, typically as the
+first or last character in the class.</p>
+
+<p>It is not possible to have the literal character "]" as the end
+character of a range. A pattern such as [W-]46] is interpreted as a
+class of two characters ("W" and "-") followed by a literal string
+"46]", so it would match "W46]" or "-46]". However, if the "]" is
+escaped with a backslash it is interpreted as the end of range, so
+[W-\\]46] is interpreted as a class containing a range followed by two
+other characters. The octal or hexadecimal representation of "]" can
+also be used to end a range.</p>
+
+<p>Ranges operate in the collating sequence of character values. They can also be
+used for characters specified numerically, for example [\\000-\\037].
+In UTF-8
+mode, ranges can include characters whose values are greater than 255, for
+example [\\x{100}-\\x{2ff}].
+</p>
+
+<p>If a range that includes letters is used when caseless matching is set, it
+matches the letters in either case. For example, [W-c] is equivalent to
+[][\\\\^_`wxyzabc], matched caselessly
+, and in non-UTF-8 mode, if character
+tables for a French locale are in use, [\\xc8-\\xcb] matches accented E
+characters in both cases. In UTF-8 mode, PCRE supports the concept of case for
+characters with values greater than 128 only when it is compiled with Unicode
+property support.</p>
+
+<p>The character types \\d, \\D, \\p, \\P, \\s, \\S, \\w, and \\W may
+also appear in a character class, and add the characters that they
+match to the class. For example, [\\dABCDEF] matches any hexadecimal
+digit. A circumflex can conveniently be used with the upper case
+character types to specify a more restricted set of characters than
+the matching lower case type. For example, the class [^\\W_] matches
+any letter or digit, but not underscore.</p>
+
+<p>The only metacharacters that are recognized in character classes
+are backslash, hyphen (only where it can be interpreted as specifying
+a range), circumflex (only at the start), opening square bracket (only
+when it can be interpreted as introducing a POSIX class name - see the
+next section), and the terminating closing square bracket. However,
+escaping other non-alphanumeric characters does no harm.</p>

+<section><marker id="sect8"></marker><title>POSIX character classes</title>
+
+<p>Perl supports the POSIX notation for character classes. This uses names
+enclosed by [: and :] within the enclosing square brackets. PCRE also supports
+this notation. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> [01[:alpha:]%]</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "0", "1", any alphabetic character, or "%". The supported class names
+are</p>
+

+
+<p>The "space" characters are HT (9), LF (10), VT (11), FF (12), CR (13), and
+space (32). Notice that this list includes the VT character (code 11). This
+makes "space" different to \\s, which does not include VT (for Perl
+compatibility).</p>
+
+<p>The name "word" is a Perl extension, and "blank" is a GNU extension
+from Perl 5.8. Another Perl extension is negation, which is indicated
+by a ^ character after the colon. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> [12[:^digit:]]</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "1", "2", or any non-digit. PCRE (and Perl) also recognize the POSIX
+syntax [.ch.] and [=ch=] where "ch" is a "collating element", but these are not
+supported, and an error is given if they are encountered.</p>
+
+<p>In UTF-8 mode, characters with values greater than 128 do not match any of
+the POSIX character classes.</p>

+
+
+<section><marker id="sect9"></marker><title>Vertical bar</title>
+
+<p>Vertical bar characters are used to separate alternative

+
+<quote><p> gilbert|sullivan</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches either "gilbert" or "sullivan". Any number of alternatives

+
+<p>The settings of the <c>caseless</c>, <c>multiline</c>, <c>dotall</c>, and
+<c>extended</c> options (which are Perl-compatible) can be changed from within
+the pattern by a sequence of Perl option letters enclosed between "(?" and ")".
+The option letters are</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>i</tag> <item>for <c>caseless</c></item>
+ <tag>m</tag> <item>for <c>multiline</c></item>
+ <tag>s</tag> <item>for <c>dotall</c></item>
+ <tag>x</tag> <item>for <c>extended</c></item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>For example, (?im) sets caseless, multiline matching. It is also possible to
+unset these options by preceding the letter with a hyphen, and a combined
+setting and unsetting such as (?im-sx), which sets <c>caseless</c> and
+<c>multiline</c> while unsetting <c>dotall</c> and <c>extended</c>, is also
+permitted. If a letter appears both before and after the hyphen, the option is
+unset.</p>
+
+<p>The PCRE-specific options <c>dupnames</c>, <c>ungreedy</c>, and
+<c>extra</c> can be changed in the same way as the Perl-compatible
+options by using the characters J, U and X respectively.</p>
+
+<p>When an option change occurs at top level (that is, not inside subpattern
+parentheses), the change applies to the remainder of the pattern that follows.
+If the change is placed right at the start of a pattern, PCRE extracts it into
+the global options
+<!-- XXX C Interface
+(and it will therefore show up in data extracted by the
+<c>pcre_fullinfo()</c> function).
+-->
+</p>
+
+<p>An option change within a subpattern (see below for a description
+of subpatterns) affects only that part of the current pattern that
+follows it, so</p>
+
+<quote><p> (a(?i)b)c</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches abc and aBc and no other strings (assuming <c>caseless</c>
+is not used). By this means, options can be made to have different
+settings in different parts of the pattern. Any changes made in one
+alternative do carry on into subsequent branches within the same
+subpattern. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> (a(?i)b|c)</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "ab", "aB", "c", and "C", even though when matching "C" the first
+branch is abandoned before the option setting. This is because the effects of
+option settings happen at compile time. There would be some very weird
+behaviour otherwise.</p>
+
+<p><em>Note:</em> There are other PCRE-specific options that can be set by the
+application when the compile or match functions are called. In some cases the
+pattern can contain special leading sequences to override what the application
+has set or what has been defaulted. Details are given in the section entitled
+"Newline sequences" above.</p>

+parentheses, it would match "cataract", "erpillar" or an empty string.</p>
+
+<p>2. It sets up the subpattern as a capturing subpattern. This means that, when
+the complete pattern matches, that portion of the subject string that matched the
+subpattern is passed back to the caller via the return value of
+<c>re:run/3</c>. Opening parentheses are counted from left to right (starting
+from 1) to obtain numbers for the capturing subpatterns.</p>
+
+<p>For example, if the string "the red king" is matched against the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> the ((red|white) (king|queen))</p></quote>
+
+<p>the captured substrings are "red king", "red", and "king", and are numbered 1,
+2, and 3, respectively.</p>
+
+<p>The fact that plain parentheses fulfil two functions is not always helpful.
+There are often times when a grouping subpattern is required without a
+capturing requirement. If an opening parenthesis is followed by a question mark
+and a colon, the subpattern does not do any capturing, and is not counted when
+computing the number of any subsequent capturing subpatterns. For example, if
+the string "the white queen" is matched against the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> the ((?:red|white) (king|queen))</p></quote>
+
+<p>the captured substrings are "white queen" and "queen", and are numbered 1 and
+2. The maximum number of capturing subpatterns is 65535.</p>
+
+<p>As a convenient shorthand, if any option settings are required at the start of
+a non-capturing subpattern, the option letters may appear between the "?" and
+the ":". Thus the two patterns</p>
+
+<list>
+<item>(?i:saturday|sunday)</item>
+<item>(?:(?i)saturday|sunday)</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>match exactly the same set of strings. Because alternative branches are tried
+from left to right, and options are not reset until the end of the subpattern
+is reached, an option setting in one branch does affect subsequent branches, so
+the above patterns match "SUNDAY" as well as "Saturday".</p>

+<section><marker id="sect12"></marker><title>Duplicate subpattern numbers</title>
+
+<p>Perl 5.10 introduced a feature whereby each alternative in a subpattern uses
+the same numbers for its capturing parentheses. Such a subpattern starts with
+(?| and is itself a non-capturing subpattern. For example, consider this
+pattern:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?|(Sat)ur|(Sun))day</p></quote>
+
+<p>Because the two alternatives are inside a (?| group, both sets of capturing
+parentheses are numbered one. Thus, when the pattern matches, you can look
+at captured substring number one, whichever alternative matched. This construct
+is useful when you want to capture part, but not all, of one of a number of
+alternatives. Inside a (?| group, parentheses are numbered as usual, but the
+number is reset at the start of each branch. The numbers of any capturing
+buffers that follow the subpattern start after the highest number used in any
+branch. The following example is taken from the Perl documentation.
+The numbers underneath show in which buffer the captured content will be
+stored.</p>
+
+<code type="none">
+ # before ---------------branch-reset----------- after
+ / ( a ) (?| x ( y ) z | (p (q) r) | (t) u (v) ) ( z ) /x
+ # 1 2 2 3 2 3 4</code>
+
+<p>A backreference or a recursive call to a numbered subpattern always
+refers to the first one in the pattern with the given number.</p>
+
+<p>An alternative approach to using this "branch reset" feature is to use
+duplicate named subpatterns, as described in the next section.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect13"></marker><title>Named subpatterns</title>
+
+<p>Identifying capturing parentheses by number is simple, but it can be very hard
+to keep track of the numbers in complicated regular expressions. Furthermore,
+if an expression is modified, the numbers may change. To help with this
+difficulty, PCRE supports the naming of subpatterns. This feature was not
+added to Perl until release 5.10. Python had the feature earlier, and PCRE
+introduced it at release 4.0, using the Python syntax. PCRE now supports both
+the Perl and the Python syntax.</p>
+
+<p>In PCRE, a subpattern can be named in one of three ways:
+(?&lt;name&gt;...) or (?'name'...) as in Perl, or (?P&lt;name&gt;...)
+as in Python. References to capturing parentheses from other parts of
+the pattern, such as backreferences, recursion, and conditions, can be
+made by name as well as by number.</p>
+
+<p>Names consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters and underscores. Named
+capturing parentheses are still allocated numbers as well as names, exactly as
+if the names were not present.
+<!-- XXX C Interface
+The PCRE API provides function calls for
+extracting the name-to-number translation table from a compiled pattern. There
+is also a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name.
+-->
+The <c>capture</c> specification to <c>re:run/3</c> can use named values if they are present in the regular expression.
+</p>
+
+<p>By default, a name must be unique within a pattern, but it is possible to relax
+this constraint by setting the <c>dupnames</c> option at compile time. This can
+be useful for patterns where only one instance of the named parentheses can
+match. Suppose you want to match the name of a weekday, either as a 3-letter
+abbreviation or as the full name, and in both cases you want to extract the
+abbreviation. This pattern (ignoring the line breaks) does the job:</p>
+
+<code type="none">
+ (?&lt;DN&gt;Mon|Fri|Sun)(?:day)?|
+ (?&lt;DN&gt;Tue)(?:sday)?|
+ (?&lt;DN&gt;Wed)(?:nesday)?|
+ (?&lt;DN&gt;Thu)(?:rsday)?|
+ (?&lt;DN&gt;Sat)(?:urday)?</code>
+
+<p>There are five capturing substrings, but only one is ever set after a match.
+(An alternative way of solving this problem is to use a "branch reset"
+subpattern, as described in the previous section.)</p>
+
+<!-- XXX C Interface
+
+<p>The convenience function for extracting the data by name returns the substring
+for the first (and in this example, the only) subpattern of that name that
+matched. This saves searching to find which numbered subpattern it was. If you
+make a reference to a non-unique named subpattern from elsewhere in the
+pattern, the one that corresponds to the lowest number is used. For further
+details of the interfaces for handling named subpatterns, see the
+<em>pcreapi</em>
+
+documentation.</p>
+-->
+
+<p>In case of capturing named subpatterns which are not unique, the first occurrence is returned from <c>re:exec/3</c>, if the name is specified int the <c>values</c> part of the <c>capture</c> statement.</p>

+
+<section><marker id="sect14"></marker><title>Repetition</title>
+
+<p>Repetition is specified by quantifiers, which can follow any of the
+following items:</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item>a literal data character</item>
+ <item>the dot metacharacter</item>
+ <item>the \\C escape sequence</item>
+ <item>the \\X escape sequence
+(in UTF-8 mode with Unicode properties)
+ </item>
+ <item>the \\R escape sequence</item>
+ <item>an escape such as \\d that matches a single character</item>
+ <item>a character class</item>
+ <item>a back reference (see next section)</item>
+ <item>a parenthesized subpattern (unless it is an assertion)</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>The general repetition quantifier specifies a minimum and maximum number of
+permitted matches, by giving the two numbers in curly brackets (braces),
+separated by a comma. The numbers must be less than 65536, and the first must
+be less than or equal to the second. For example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> z{2,4}</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "zz", "zzz", or "zzzz". A closing brace on its own is not a special
+character. If the second number is omitted, but the comma is present, there is
+no upper limit; if the second number and the comma are both omitted, the
+quantifier specifies an exact number of required matches. Thus</p>
+
+<quote><p> [aeiou]{3,}</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches at least 3 successive vowels, but may match many more, while</p>
+
+<quote><p> \\d{8}</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches exactly 8 digits. An opening curly bracket that appears in a position
+where a quantifier is not allowed, or one that does not match the syntax of a
+quantifier, is taken as a literal character. For example, {,6} is not a
+quantifier, but a literal string of four characters.</p>
+
+<p>In UTF-8 mode, quantifiers apply to UTF-8 characters rather than to individual
+bytes. Thus, for example, \\x{100}{2} matches two UTF-8 characters, each of
+which is represented by a two-byte sequence. Similarly, when Unicode property
+support is available, \\X{3} matches three Unicode extended sequences, each of
+which may be several bytes long (and they may be of different lengths).</p>
+
+<p>The quantifier {0} is permitted, causing the expression to behave as if the
+previous item and the quantifier were not present.</p>
+
+<p>For convenience, the three most common quantifiers have single-character
+abbreviations:</p>
+
+<taglist>
+ <tag>*</tag> <item>is equivalent to {0,}</item>
+ <tag>+</tag> <item>is equivalent to {1,}</item>
+ <tag>?</tag> <item>is equivalent to {0,1}</item>
+</taglist>
+
+<p>It is possible to construct infinite loops by following a
+subpattern that can match no characters with a quantifier that has no
+upper limit, for example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (a?)*</p></quote>
+
+<p>Earlier versions of Perl and PCRE used to give an error at compile time for
+such patterns. However, because there are cases where this can be useful, such
+patterns are now accepted, but if any repetition of the subpattern does in fact
+match no characters, the loop is forcibly broken.</p>
+
+<p>By default, the quantifiers are "greedy", that is, they match as much as
+possible (up to the maximum number of permitted times), without causing the
+rest of the pattern to fail. The classic example of where this gives problems
+is in trying to match comments in C programs. These appear between /* and */
+and within the comment, individual * and / characters may appear. An attempt to
+match C comments by applying the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> /\\*.*\\*/</p></quote>
+
+<p>to the string</p>
+
+<quote><p> /* first comment */ not comment /* second comment */</p></quote>
+
+<p>fails, because it matches the entire string owing to the greediness of the .*
+item.</p>
+
+<p>However, if a quantifier is followed by a question mark, it ceases to be
+greedy, and instead matches the minimum number of times possible, so the
+pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> /\\*.*?\\*/</p></quote>
+
+<p>does the right thing with the C comments. The meaning of the various
+quantifiers is not otherwise changed, just the preferred number of matches.
+Do not confuse this use of question mark with its use as a quantifier in its
+own right. Because it has two uses, it can sometimes appear doubled, as in</p>
+
+<quote><p> \\d??\\d</p></quote>
+
+<p>which matches one digit by preference, but can match two if that is the only
+way the rest of the pattern matches.</p>
+
+<p>If the <c>ungreedy</c> option is set (an option that is not available in Perl),
+the quantifiers are not greedy by default, but individual ones can be made
+greedy by following them with a question mark. In other words, it inverts the
+default behaviour.</p>
+
+<p>When a parenthesized subpattern is quantified with a minimum repeat count that
+is greater than 1 or with a limited maximum, more memory is required for the
+compiled pattern, in proportion to the size of the minimum or maximum.</p>
+
+<p>If a pattern starts with .* or .{0,} and the <c>dotall</c> option (equivalent
+to Perl's /s) is set, thus allowing the dot to match newlines, the pattern is
+implicitly anchored, because whatever follows will be tried against every
+character position in the subject string, so there is no point in retrying the
+overall match at any position after the first. PCRE normally treats such a
+pattern as though it were preceded by \\A.</p>
+
+<p>In cases where it is known that the subject string contains no newlines, it is
+worth setting <c>dotall</c> in order to obtain this optimization, or
+alternatively using ^ to indicate anchoring explicitly.</p>
+
+<p>However, there is one situation where the optimization cannot be used. When .*
+is inside capturing parentheses that are the subject of a backreference
+elsewhere in the pattern, a match at the start may fail where a later one
+succeeds. Consider, for example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (.*)abc\\1</p></quote>
+
+<p>If the subject is "xyz123abc123" the match point is the fourth character. For
+this reason, such a pattern is not implicitly anchored.</p>
+
+<p>When a capturing subpattern is repeated, the value captured is the substring
+that matched the final iteration. For example, after</p>
+
+<quote><p> (tweedle[dume]{3}\\s*)+</p></quote>
+
+<p>has matched "tweedledum tweedledee" the value of the captured substring is
+"tweedledee". However, if there are nested capturing subpatterns, the
+corresponding captured values may have been set in previous iterations. For
+example, after</p>
+
+<quote><p> /(a|(b))+/</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "aba" the value of the second captured substring is "b".</p>
+

+
+<section><marker id="sect15"></marker><title>Atomic grouping and possessive quantifiers</title>
+
+<p>With both maximizing ("greedy") and minimizing ("ungreedy" or "lazy")
+repetition, failure of what follows normally causes the repeated item to be
+re-evaluated to see if a different number of repeats allows the rest of the
+pattern to match. Sometimes it is useful to prevent this, either to change the
+nature of the match, or to cause it fail earlier than it otherwise might, when
+the author of the pattern knows there is no point in carrying on.</p>
+
+<p>Consider, for example, the pattern \\d+foo when applied to the subject line</p>
+
+<quote><p> 123456bar</p></quote>
+
+<p>After matching all 6 digits and then failing to match "foo", the normal
+action of the matcher is to try again with only 5 digits matching the \\d+
+item, and then with 4, and so on, before ultimately failing. "Atomic grouping"
+(a term taken from Jeffrey Friedl's book) provides the means for specifying
+that once a subpattern has matched, it is not to be re-evaluated in this way.</p>
+
+<p>If we use atomic grouping for the previous example, the matcher gives up
+immediately on failing to match "foo" the first time. The notation is a kind of
+special parenthesis, starting with (?&gt; as in this example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&gt;\\d+)foo</p></quote>
+
+<p>This kind of parenthesis "locks up" the part of the pattern it contains once
+it has matched, and a failure further into the pattern is prevented from
+backtracking into it. Backtracking past it to previous items, however, works as
+normal.</p>
+
+<p>An alternative description is that a subpattern of this type matches the string
+of characters that an identical standalone pattern would match, if anchored at
+the current point in the subject string.</p>
+
+<p>Atomic grouping subpatterns are not capturing subpatterns. Simple cases such as
+the above example can be thought of as a maximizing repeat that must swallow
+everything it can. So, while both \\d+ and \\d+? are prepared to adjust the
+number of digits they match in order to make the rest of the pattern match,
+(?&gt;\\d+) can only match an entire sequence of digits.</p>
+
+<p>Atomic groups in general can of course contain arbitrarily complicated
+subpatterns, and can be nested. However, when the subpattern for an atomic
+group is just a single repeated item, as in the example above, a simpler
+notation, called a "possessive quantifier" can be used. This consists of an
+additional + character following a quantifier. Using this notation, the
+previous example can be rewritten as</p>
+
+<quote><p> \\d++foo</p></quote>
+
+<p>Note that a possessive quantifier can be used with an entire group, for
+example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (abc|xyz){2,3}+</p></quote>
+
+<p>Possessive quantifiers are always greedy; the setting of the <c>ungreedy</c>
+option is ignored. They are a convenient notation for the simpler forms of
+atomic group. However, there is no difference in the meaning of a possessive
+quantifier and the equivalent atomic group, though there may be a performance
+difference; possessive quantifiers should be slightly faster.</p>
+
+<p>The possessive quantifier syntax is an extension to the Perl 5.8 syntax.
+Jeffrey Friedl originated the idea (and the name) in the first edition of his
+book. Mike McCloskey liked it, so implemented it when he built Sun's Java
+package, and PCRE copied it from there. It ultimately found its way into Perl
+at release 5.10.</p>
+
+<p>PCRE has an optimization that automatically "possessifies" certain simple
+pattern constructs. For example, the sequence A+B is treated as A++B because
+there is no point in backtracking into a sequence of A's when B must follow.</p>
+
+<p>When a pattern contains an unlimited repeat inside a subpattern that can itself
+be repeated an unlimited number of times, the use of an atomic group is the
+only way to avoid some failing matches taking a very long time indeed. The
+pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (\\D+|&lt;\\d+&gt;)*[!?]</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches an unlimited number of substrings that either consist of non-digits, or
+digits enclosed in &lt;&gt;, followed by either ! or ?. When it matches, it runs
+quickly. However, if it is applied to</p>
+
+<quote><p> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p></quote>
+
+<p>it takes a long time before reporting failure. This is because the string can
+be divided between the internal \\D+ repeat and the external * repeat in a
+large number of ways, and all have to be tried. (The example uses [!?] rather
+than a single character at the end, because both PCRE and Perl have an
+optimization that allows for fast failure when a single character is used. They
+remember the last single character that is required for a match, and fail early
+if it is not present in the string.) If the pattern is changed so that it uses
+an atomic group, like this:</p>
+
+<quote><p> ((?&gt;\\D+)|&lt;\\d+&gt;)*[!?]</p></quote>
+
+<p>sequences of non-digits cannot be broken, and failure happens quickly.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect16"></marker><title>Back references</title>
+
+<p>Outside a character class, a backslash followed by a digit greater than 0 (and
+possibly further digits) is a back reference to a capturing subpattern earlier
+(that is, to its left) in the pattern, provided there have been that many
+previous capturing left parentheses.</p>
+
+<p>However, if the decimal number following the backslash is less than 10, it is
+always taken as a back reference, and causes an error only if there are not
+that many capturing left parentheses in the entire pattern. In other words, the
+parentheses that are referenced need not be to the left of the reference for
+numbers less than 10. A "forward back reference" of this type can make sense
+when a repetition is involved and the subpattern to the right has participated
+in an earlier iteration.</p>
+
+<p>It is not possible to have a numerical "forward back reference" to
+a subpattern whose number is 10 or more using this syntax because a
+sequence such as \\50 is interpreted as a character defined in
+octal. See the subsection entitled "Non-printing characters" above for
+further details of the handling of digits following a backslash. There
+is no such problem when named parentheses are used. A back reference
+to any subpattern is possible using named parentheses (see below).</p>
+
+<p>Another way of avoiding the ambiguity inherent in the use of digits
+following a backslash is to use the \\g escape sequence, which is a
+feature introduced in Perl 5.10. This escape must be followed by an
+unsigned number or a negative number, optionally enclosed in
+braces. These examples are all identical:</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item>(ring), \\1</item>
+ <item>(ring), \\g1</item>
+ <item>(ring), \\g{1}</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>An unsigned number specifies an absolute reference without the
+ambiguity that is present in the older syntax. It is also useful when
+literal digits follow the reference. A negative number is a relative
+reference. Consider this example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (abc(def)ghi)\\g{-1}</p></quote>
+
+<p>The sequence \\g{-1} is a reference to the most recently started capturing
+subpattern before \\g, that is, is it equivalent to \\2. Similarly, \\g{-2}
+would be equivalent to \\1. The use of relative references can be helpful in
+long patterns, and also in patterns that are created by joining together
+fragments that contain references within themselves.</p>
+
+<p>A back reference matches whatever actually matched the capturing
+subpattern in the current subject string, rather than anything
+matching the subpattern itself (see "Subpatterns as subroutines" below
+for a way of doing that). So the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (sens|respons)e and \\1ibility</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "sense and sensibility" and "response and responsibility", but not
+"sense and responsibility". If caseful matching is in force at the time of the
+back reference, the case of letters is relevant. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> ((?i)rah)\\s+\\1</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "rah rah" and "RAH RAH", but not "RAH rah", even though the original
+capturing subpattern is matched caselessly.</p>
+
+<p>There are several different ways of writing back references to named
+subpatterns. The .NET syntax \\k{name} and the Perl syntax \\k&lt;name&gt; or
+\\k'name' are supported, as is the Python syntax (?P=name). Perl 5.10's unified
+back reference syntax, in which \\g can be used for both numeric and named
+references, is also supported. We could rewrite the above example in any of
+the following ways:</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item>(?&lt;p1&gt;(?i)rah)\\s+\\k&lt;p1&gt;</item>
+ <item>(?'p1'(?i)rah)\\s+\\k{p1}</item>
+ <item>(?P&lt;p1&gt;(?i)rah)\\s+(?P=p1)</item>
+ <item>(?&lt;p1&gt;(?i)rah)\\s+\\g{p1}</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>A subpattern that is referenced by name may appear in the pattern before or
+after the reference.</p>
+
+<p>There may be more than one back reference to the same subpattern. If a
+subpattern has not actually been used in a particular match, any back
+references to it always fail. For example, the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (a|(bc))\\2</p></quote>
+
+<p>always fails if it starts to match "a" rather than "bc". Because
+there may be many capturing parentheses in a pattern, all digits
+following the backslash are taken as part of a potential back
+reference number. If the pattern continues with a digit character,
+some delimiter must be used to terminate the back reference. If the
+<c>extended</c> option is set, this can be whitespace. Otherwise an
+empty comment (see "Comments" below) can be used.</p>
+
+<p>A back reference that occurs inside the parentheses to which it refers fails
+when the subpattern is first used, so, for example, (a\\1) never matches.
+However, such references can be useful inside repeated subpatterns. For
+example, the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (a|b\\1)+</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches any number of "a"s and also "aba", "ababbaa" etc. At each iteration of
+the subpattern, the back reference matches the character string corresponding
+to the previous iteration. In order for this to work, the pattern must be such
+that the first iteration does not need to match the back reference. This can be
+done using alternation, as in the example above, or by a quantifier with a
+minimum of zero.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect17"></marker><title>Assertions</title>
+
+<p>An assertion is a test on the characters following or preceding the current
+matching point that does not actually consume any characters. The simple
+assertions coded as \\b, \\B, \\A, \\G, \\Z, \\z, ^ and $ are described
+above.</p>
+
+
+<p>More complicated assertions are coded as subpatterns. There are two kinds:
+those that look ahead of the current position in the subject string, and those
+that look behind it. An assertion subpattern is matched in the normal way,
+except that it does not cause the current matching position to be changed.</p>
+
+<p>Assertion subpatterns are not capturing subpatterns, and may not be repeated,
+because it makes no sense to assert the same thing several times. If any kind
+of assertion contains capturing subpatterns within it, these are counted for
+the purposes of numbering the capturing subpatterns in the whole pattern.
+However, substring capturing is carried out only for positive assertions,
+because it does not make sense for negative assertions.</p>
+
+<p><em>Lookahead assertions</em></p>
+
+<p>Lookahead assertions start with (?= for positive assertions and (?! for
+negative assertions. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> \\w+(?=;)</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches a word followed by a semicolon, but does not include the semicolon in
+the match, and</p>
+
+<quote><p> foo(?!bar)</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches any occurrence of "foo" that is not followed by "bar". Note that the
+apparently similar pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?!foo)bar</p></quote>
+
+<p>does not find an occurrence of "bar" that is preceded by something other than
+"foo"; it finds any occurrence of "bar" whatsoever, because the assertion
+(?!foo) is always true when the next three characters are "bar". A
+lookbehind assertion is needed to achieve the other effect.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to force a matching failure at some point in a pattern, the most
+convenient way to do it is with (?!) because an empty string always matches, so
+an assertion that requires there not to be an empty string must always fail.</p>
+
+
+<p><em>Lookbehind assertions</em></p>
+
+<p>Lookbehind assertions start with (?&lt;= for positive assertions and (?&lt;! for
+negative assertions. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;!foo)bar</p></quote>
+
+<p>does find an occurrence of "bar" that is not preceded by "foo". The contents of
+a lookbehind assertion are restricted such that all the strings it matches must
+have a fixed length. However, if there are several top-level alternatives, they
+do not all have to have the same fixed length. Thus</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=bullock|donkey)</p></quote>
+
+<p>is permitted, but</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;!dogs?|cats?)</p></quote>
+
+<p>causes an error at compile time. Branches that match different length strings
+are permitted only at the top level of a lookbehind assertion. This is an
+extension compared with Perl (at least for 5.8), which requires all branches to
+match the same length of string. An assertion such as</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=ab(c|de))</p></quote>
+
+<p>is not permitted, because its single top-level branch can match two different
+lengths, but it is acceptable if rewritten to use two top-level branches:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=abc|abde)</p></quote>
+
+<p>In some cases, the Perl 5.10 escape sequence \\K (see above) can be
+used instead of a lookbehind assertion; this is not restricted to a
+fixed-length.</p>
+
+<p>The implementation of lookbehind assertions is, for each alternative, to
+temporarily move the current position back by the fixed length and then try to
+match. If there are insufficient characters before the current position, the
+assertion fails.</p>
+
+<p>PCRE does not allow the \\C escape (which matches a single byte in UTF-8 mode)
+to appear in lookbehind assertions, because it makes it impossible to calculate
+the length of the lookbehind. The \\X and \\R escapes, which can match
+different numbers of bytes, are also not permitted.</p>
+
+<p>Possessive quantifiers can be used in conjunction with lookbehind assertions to
+specify efficient matching at the end of the subject string. Consider a simple
+pattern such as</p>
+
+<quote><p> abcd$</p></quote>
+
+<p>when applied to a long string that does not match. Because matching proceeds
+from left to right, PCRE will look for each "a" in the subject and then see if
+what follows matches the rest of the pattern. If the pattern is specified as</p>
+
+<quote><p> ^.*abcd$</p></quote>
+
+<p>the initial .* matches the entire string at first, but when this fails (because
+there is no following "a"), it backtracks to match all but the last character,
+then all but the last two characters, and so on. Once again the search for "a"
+covers the entire string, from right to left, so we are no better off. However,
+if the pattern is written as</p>
+
+<quote><p> ^.*+(?&lt;=abcd)</p></quote>
+
+<p>there can be no backtracking for the .*+ item; it can match only the entire
+string. The subsequent lookbehind assertion does a single test on the last four
+characters. If it fails, the match fails immediately. For long strings, this
+approach makes a significant difference to the processing time.</p>
+
+<p><em>Using multiple assertions</em></p>
+
+<p>Several assertions (of any sort) may occur in succession. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=\\d{3})(?&lt;!999)foo</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "foo" preceded by three digits that are not "999". Notice
+that each of the assertions is applied independently at the same point
+in the subject string. First there is a check that the previous three
+characters are all digits, and then there is a check that the same
+three characters are not "999". This pattern does <em>not</em> match
+"foo" preceded by six characters, the first of which are digits and
+the last three of which are not "999". For example, it doesn't match
+"123abcfoo". A pattern to do that is</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=\\d{3}...)(?&lt;!999)foo</p></quote>
+
+<p>This time the first assertion looks at the preceding six
+characters, checking that the first three are digits, and then the
+second assertion checks that the preceding three characters are not
+"999".</p>
+
+<p>Assertions can be nested in any combination. For example,</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=(?&lt;!foo)bar)baz</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches an occurrence of "baz" that is preceded by "bar" which in
+turn is not preceded by "foo", while</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;=\\d{3}(?!999)...)foo</p></quote>
+
+<p>is another pattern that matches "foo" preceded by three digits and any three
+characters that are not "999".</p>
+

+<section><marker id="sect18"></marker><title>Conditional subpatterns</title>
+
+<p>It is possible to cause the matching process to obey a subpattern
+conditionally or to choose between two alternative subpatterns, depending on
+the result of an assertion, or whether a previous capturing subpattern matched
+or not. The two possible forms of conditional subpattern are</p>
+
+<list>
+<item>(?(condition)yes-pattern)</item>
+<item>(?(condition)yes-pattern|no-pattern)</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>If the condition is satisfied, the yes-pattern is used; otherwise the
+no-pattern (if present) is used. If there are more than two alternatives in the
+subpattern, a compile-time error occurs.</p>
+
+<p>There are four kinds of condition: references to subpatterns, references to
+recursion, a pseudo-condition called DEFINE, and assertions.</p>
+
+
+<p><em>Checking for a used subpattern by number</em></p>
+
+<p>If the text between the parentheses consists of a sequence of
+digits, the condition is true if the capturing subpattern of that
+number has previously matched. An alternative notation is to precede
+the digits with a plus or minus sign. In this case, the subpattern
+number is relative rather than absolute. The most recently opened
+parentheses can be referenced by (?(-1), the next most recent by
+(?(-2), and so on. In looping constructs it can also make sense to
+refer to subsequent groups with constructs such as (?(+2).</p>
+
+<p>Consider the following pattern, which contains non-significant
+whitespace to make it more readable (assume the <c>extended</c>
+option) and to divide it into three parts for ease of discussion:</p>
+
+<quote><p> ( \\( )? [^()]+ (?(1) \\) )</p></quote>
+
+<p>The first part matches an optional opening parenthesis, and if that
+character is present, sets it as the first captured substring. The second part
+matches one or more characters that are not parentheses. The third part is a
+conditional subpattern that tests whether the first set of parentheses matched
+or not. If they did, that is, if subject started with an opening parenthesis,
+the condition is true, and so the yes-pattern is executed and a closing
+parenthesis is required. Otherwise, since no-pattern is not present, the
+subpattern matches nothing. In other words, this pattern matches a sequence of
+non-parentheses, optionally enclosed in parentheses.</p>
+
+<p>If you were embedding this pattern in a larger one, you could use a relative
+reference:</p>
+
+<quote><p> ...other stuff... ( \\( )? [^()]+ (?(-1) \\) ) ...</p></quote>
+
+<p>This makes the fragment independent of the parentheses in the larger pattern.</p>
+
+<p><em>Checking for a used subpattern by name</em></p>
+
+<p>Perl uses the syntax (?(&lt;name&gt;)...) or (?('name')...) to test
+for a used subpattern by name. For compatibility with earlier versions
+of PCRE, which had this facility before Perl, the syntax (?(name)...)
+is also recognized. However, there is a possible ambiguity with this
+syntax, because subpattern names may consist entirely of digits. PCRE
+looks first for a named subpattern; if it cannot find one and the name
+consists entirely of digits, PCRE looks for a subpattern of that
+number, which must be greater than zero. Using subpattern names that
+consist entirely of digits is not recommended.</p>
+
+<p>Rewriting the above example to use a named subpattern gives this:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;OPEN&gt; \\( )? [^()]+ (?(&lt;OPEN&gt;) \\) )</p></quote>
+
+<p><em>Checking for pattern recursion</em></p>
+
+<p>If the condition is the string (R), and there is no subpattern with
+the name R, the condition is true if a recursive call to the whole
+pattern or any subpattern has been made. If digits or a name preceded
+by ampersand follow the letter R, for example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?(R3)...) or (?(R&amp;name)...)</p></quote>
+
+<p>the condition is true if the most recent recursion is into the
+subpattern whose number or name is given. This condition does not
+check the entire recursion stack.</p>
+
+<p>At "top level", all these recursion test conditions are false. Recursive
+patterns are described below.</p>
+
+<p><em>Defining subpatterns for use by reference only</em></p>
+
+<p>If the condition is the string (DEFINE), and there is no subpattern with the
+name DEFINE, the condition is always false. In this case, there may be only one
+alternative in the subpattern. It is always skipped if control reaches this
+point in the pattern; the idea of DEFINE is that it can be used to define
+"subroutines" that can be referenced from elsewhere. (The use of "subroutines"
+is described below.) For example, a pattern to match an IPv4 address could be
+written like this (ignore whitespace and line breaks):</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?(DEFINE) (?&lt;byte&gt; 2[0-4]\\d | 25[0-5] | 1\\d\\d | [1-9]?\\d) )
+ \\b (?&amp;byte) (\\.(?&amp;byte)){3} \\b</p></quote>
+
+<p>The first part of the pattern is a DEFINE group inside which a another group
+named "byte" is defined. This matches an individual component of an IPv4
+address (a number less than 256). When matching takes place, this part of the
+pattern is skipped because DEFINE acts like a false condition.</p>
+
+<p>The rest of the pattern uses references to the named group to match the four
+dot-separated components of an IPv4 address, insisting on a word boundary at
+each end.</p>
+
+<p><em>Assertion conditions</em></p>
+
+<p>If the condition is not in any of the above formats, it must be an
+assertion. This may be a positive or negative lookahead or lookbehind
+assertion. Consider this pattern, again containing non-significant
+whitespace, and with the two alternatives on the second line:</p>
+
+<code type="none">
+ (?(?=[^a-z]*[a-z])
+ \\d{2}-[a-z]{3}-\\d{2} | \\d{2}-\\d{2}-\\d{2} )</code>
+
+<p>The condition is a positive lookahead assertion that matches an optional
+sequence of non-letters followed by a letter. In other words, it tests for the
+presence of at least one letter in the subject. If a letter is found, the
+subject is matched against the first alternative; otherwise it is matched
+against the second. This pattern matches strings in one of the two forms
+dd-aaa-dd or dd-dd-dd, where aaa are letters and dd are digits.</p>
+
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect19"></marker><title>Comments</title>
+
+<p>The sequence (?# marks the start of a comment that continues up to the next
+closing parenthesis. Nested parentheses are not permitted. The characters
+that make up a comment play no part in the pattern matching at all.</p>
+
+<p>If the <c>extended</c> option is set, an unescaped # character outside a
+character class introduces a comment that continues to immediately after the
+next newline in the pattern.</p>
+
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect20"></marker><title>Recursive patterns</title>
+
+<p>Consider the problem of matching a string in parentheses, allowing for
+unlimited nested parentheses. Without the use of recursion, the best that can
+be done is to use a pattern that matches up to some fixed depth of nesting. It
+is not possible to handle an arbitrary nesting depth.</p>
+
+<p>For some time, Perl has provided a facility that allows regular
+expressions to recurse (amongst other things). It does this by
+interpolating Perl code in the expression at run time, and the code
+can refer to the expression itself. A Perl pattern using code
+interpolation to solve the parentheses problem can be created like
+this:</p>
+
+<quote><p> $re = qr{\\( (?: (?&gt;[^()]+) | (?p{$re}) )* \\)}x;</p></quote>
+
+<p>The (?p{...}) item interpolates Perl code at run time, and in this
+case refers recursively to the pattern in which it appears.</p>
+
+<p>Obviously, PCRE cannot support the interpolation of Perl code. Instead, it
+supports special syntax for recursion of the entire pattern, and also for
+individual subpattern recursion. After its introduction in PCRE and Python,
+this kind of recursion was introduced into Perl at release 5.10.</p>
+
+<p>A special item that consists of (? followed by a number greater
+than zero and a closing parenthesis is a recursive call of the
+subpattern of the given number, provided that it occurs inside that
+subpattern. (If not, it is a "subroutine" call, which is described in
+the next section.) The special item (?R) or (?0) is a recursive call
+of the entire regular expression.</p>
+
+<p>In PCRE (like Python, but unlike Perl), a recursive subpattern call
+is always treated as an atomic group. That is, once it has matched
+some of the subject string, it is never re-entered, even if it
+contains untried alternatives and there is a subsequent matching
+failure.</p>
+
+<p>This PCRE pattern solves the nested parentheses problem (assume the
+<c>extended</c> option is set so that whitespace is ignored):</p>
+
+<quote><p> \\( ( (?&gt;[^()]+) | (?R) )* \\)</p></quote>
+
+<p>First it matches an opening parenthesis. Then it matches any number
+of substrings which can either be a sequence of non-parentheses, or a
+recursive match of the pattern itself (that is, a correctly
+parenthesized substring). Finally there is a closing parenthesis.</p>
+
+<p>If this were part of a larger pattern, you would not want to
+recurse the entire pattern, so instead you could use this:</p>
+
+<quote><p> ( \\( ( (?&gt;[^()]+) | (?1) )* \\) )</p></quote>
+
+<p>We have put the pattern into parentheses, and caused the recursion
+to refer to them instead of the whole pattern.</p>
+
+<p>In a larger pattern, keeping track of parenthesis numbers can be
+tricky. This is made easier by the use of relative references. (A Perl
+5.10 feature.) Instead of (?1) in the pattern above you can write
+(?-2) to refer to the second most recently opened parentheses
+preceding the recursion. In other words, a negative number counts
+capturing parentheses leftwards from the point at which it is
+encountered.</p>
+
+<p>It is also possible to refer to subsequently opened parentheses, by
+writing references such as (?+2). However, these cannot be recursive
+because the reference is not inside the parentheses that are
+referenced. They are always "subroutine" calls, as described in the
+next section.</p>
+
+<p>An alternative approach is to use named parentheses instead. The
+Perl syntax for this is (?&amp;name); PCRE's earlier syntax
+(?P&gt;name) is also supported. We could rewrite the above example as
+follows:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?&lt;pn&gt; \\( ( (?&gt;[^()]+) | (?&amp;pn) )* \\) )</p></quote>
+
+<p>If there is more than one subpattern with the same name, the earliest one is
+used.</p>
+
+<p>This particular example pattern that we have been looking at contains nested
+unlimited repeats, and so the use of atomic grouping for matching strings of
+non-parentheses is important when applying the pattern to strings that do not
+match. For example, when this pattern is applied to</p>
+
+<quote><p> (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa()</p></quote>
+
+<p>it yields "no match" quickly. However, if atomic grouping is not used,
+the match runs for a very long time indeed because there are so many different
+ways the + and * repeats can carve up the subject, and all have to be tested
+before failure can be reported.</p>
+
+<p>At the end of a match, the values set for any capturing subpatterns are those
+from the outermost level of the recursion at which the subpattern value is set.
+
+<!-- XXX C Interface
+If you want to obtain intermediate values, a callout function can be used (see
+below and the
+
+<em>pcrecallout</em>
+
+documentation).
+-->
+If the pattern above is matched against</p>
+
+<quote><p> (ab(cd)ef)</p></quote>
+
+<p>the value for the capturing parentheses is "ef", which is the last value taken
+on at the top level. If additional parentheses are added, giving</p>
+
+<code type="none">
+ \\( ( ( (?&gt;[^()]+) | (?R) )* ) \\)
+ ^ ^
+ ^ ^</code>
+
+<p>the string they capture is "ab(cd)ef", the contents of the top level
+parentheses.
+<!-- XXX C interface
+If there are more than 15 capturing parentheses in a pattern, PCRE
+has to obtain extra memory to store data during a recursion, which it does by
+using <em>pcre_malloc</em>, freeing it via <em>pcre_free</em> afterwards. If no
+memory can be obtained, the match fails with the <c>error_nomemory</c> error.</p>
+-->
+</p>
+
+<p>Do not confuse the (?R) item with the condition (R), which tests
+for recursion. Consider this pattern, which matches text in angle
+brackets, allowing for arbitrary nesting. Only digits are allowed in
+nested brackets (that is, when recursing), whereas any characters are
+permitted at the outer level.</p>
+
+<quote><p> &lt; (?: (?(R) \\d++ | [^&lt;&gt;]*+) | (?R)) * &gt;</p></quote>
+
+<p>In this pattern, (?(R) is the start of a conditional subpattern,
+with two different alternatives for the recursive and non-recursive
+cases. The (?R) item is the actual recursive call.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section><marker id="sect21"></marker><title>Subpatterns as subroutines</title>
+
+<p>If the syntax for a recursive subpattern reference (either by number or by
+name) is used outside the parentheses to which it refers, it operates like a
+subroutine in a programming language. The "called" subpattern may be defined
+before or after the reference. A numbered reference can be absolute or
+relative, as in these examples:</p>
+
+<list>
+ <item>(...(absolute)...)...(?2)...</item>
+ <item>(...(relative)...)...(?-1)...</item>
+ <item>(...(?+1)...(relative)...</item>
+</list>
+
+<p>An earlier example pointed out that the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (sens|respons)e and \\1ibility</p></quote>
+
+<p>matches "sense and sensibility" and "response and responsibility", but not
+"sense and responsibility". If instead the pattern</p>
+
+<quote><p> (sens|respons)e and (?1)ibility</p></quote>
+
+<p>is used, it does match "sense and responsibility" as well as the other two
+strings. Another example is given in the discussion of DEFINE above.</p>
+
+<p>Like recursive subpatterns, a "subroutine" call is always treated
+as an atomic group. That is, once it has matched some of the subject
+string, it is never re-entered, even if it contains untried
+alternatives and there is a subsequent matching failure.</p>
+
+<p>When a subpattern is used as a subroutine, processing options such as
+case-independence are fixed when the subpattern is defined. They cannot be
+changed for different calls. For example, consider this pattern:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (abc)(?i:(?-1))</p></quote>
+
+<p>It matches "abcabc". It does not match "abcABC" because the change of
+processing option does not affect the called subpattern.</p>
+
+
+</section>
+
+<!-- XXX C interface
+
+<section> <marker id="sect22"><title>Callouts</title></marker>
+
+<p>Perl has a feature whereby using the sequence (?{...}) causes arbitrary Perl
+code to be obeyed in the middle of matching a regular expression. This makes it
+possible, amongst other things, to extract different substrings that match the
+same pair of parentheses when there is a repetition.</p>
+
+<p>PCRE provides a similar feature, but of course it cannot obey arbitrary Perl
+code. The feature is called "callout". The caller of PCRE provides an external
+function by putting its entry point in the global variable <em>pcre_callout</em>.
+By default, this variable contains NULL, which disables all calling out.</p>
+
+<p>Within a regular expression, (?C) indicates the points at which the external
+function is to be called. If you want to identify different callout points, you
+can put a number less than 256 after the letter C. The default value is zero.
+For example, this pattern has two callout points:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (?C1)abc(?C2)def</p></quote>
+
+
+<p>If the <c>AUTO_CALLOUT</c> flag is passed to <c>re:compile/2</c>, callouts are
+automatically installed before each item in the pattern. They are all numbered
+255.</p>
+
+<p>During matching, when PCRE reaches a callout point (and <em>pcre_callout</em> is
+set), the external function is called. It is provided with the number of the
+callout, the position in the pattern, and, optionally, one item of data
+originally supplied by the caller of <c>re:run/3</c>. The callout function
+may cause matching to proceed, to backtrack, or to fail altogether. A complete
+description of the interface to the callout function is given in the
+<em>pcrecallout</em>
+documentation.</p>
+
+
+</section>

+
+<section><marker id="sect23"></marker><title>Backtracking control</title>
+
+<p>Perl 5.10 introduced a number of "Special Backtracking Control Verbs", which
+are described in the Perl documentation as "experimental and subject to change
+or removal in a future version of Perl". It goes on to say: "Their usage in
+production code should be noted to avoid problems during upgrades." The same
+remarks apply to the PCRE features described in this section.</p>
+
+<!-- XXX C interface
+<p>Since these verbs are specifically related to backtracking, they can be used
+only when the pattern is to be matched using <c>re:run/3</c>, which uses a
+backtracking algorithm. They cause an error if encountered by
+<c>pcre_dfa_exec()</c>.</p>
+-->
+
+<p>The new verbs make use of what was previously invalid syntax: an opening
+parenthesis followed by an asterisk. In Perl, they are generally of the form
+(*VERB:ARG) but PCRE does not support the use of arguments, so its general
+form is just (*VERB). Any number of these verbs may occur in a pattern. There
+are two kinds:</p>
+
+
+<p><em>Verbs that act immediately</em></p>
+
+<p>The following verbs act as soon as they are encountered:</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*ACCEPT)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb causes the match to end successfully, skipping the remainder of the
+pattern. When inside a recursion, only the innermost pattern is ended
+immediately. PCRE differs from Perl in what happens if the (*ACCEPT) is inside
+capturing parentheses. In Perl, the data so far is captured: in PCRE no data is
+captured. For example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> A(A|B(*ACCEPT)|C)D</p></quote>
+
+<p>This matches "AB", "AAD", or "ACD", but when it matches "AB", no data is
+captured.</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*FAIL) or (*F)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb causes the match to fail, forcing backtracking to occur. It is
+equivalent to (?!) but easier to read. The Perl documentation notes that it is
+probably useful only when combined with (?{}) or (??{}). Those are, of course,
+Perl features that are not present in PCRE. The nearest equivalent is the
+callout feature, as for example in this pattern:</p>
+
+<quote><p> a+(?C)(*FAIL)</p></quote>
+
+<p>A match with the string "aaaa" always fails, but the callout is taken before
+each backtrack happens (in this example, 10 times).</p>
+
+
+
+<p><em>Verbs that act after backtracking</em></p>
+
+<p>The following verbs do nothing when they are encountered. Matching continues
+with what follows, but if there is no subsequent match, a failure is forced.
+The verbs differ in exactly what kind of failure occurs.</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*COMMIT)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb causes the whole match to fail outright if the rest of the pattern
+does not match. Even if the pattern is unanchored, no further attempts to find
+a match by advancing the start point take place. Once (*COMMIT) has been
+passed, <c>re:run/3</c> is committed to finding a match at the current
+starting point, or not at all. For example:</p>
+
+<quote><p> a+(*COMMIT)b</p></quote>
+
+<p>This matches "xxaab" but not "aacaab". It can be thought of as a kind of
+dynamic anchor, or "I've started, so I must finish."</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*PRUNE)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb causes the match to fail at the current position if the rest of the
+pattern does not match. If the pattern is unanchored, the normal "bumpalong"
+advance to the next starting character then happens. Backtracking can occur as
+usual to the left of (*PRUNE), or when matching to the right of (*PRUNE), but
+if there is no match to the right, backtracking cannot cross (*PRUNE).
+In simple cases, the use of (*PRUNE) is just an alternative to an atomic
+group or possessive quantifier, but there are some uses of (*PRUNE) that cannot
+be expressed in any other way.</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*SKIP)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb is like (*PRUNE), except that if the pattern is unanchored, the
+"bumpalong" advance is not to the next character, but to the position in the
+subject where (*SKIP) was encountered. (*SKIP) signifies that whatever text
+was matched leading up to it cannot be part of a successful match. Consider:</p>
+
+<quote><p> a+(*SKIP)b</p></quote>
+
+<p>If the subject is "aaaac...", after the first match attempt fails (starting at
+the first character in the string), the starting point skips on to start the
+next attempt at "c". Note that a possessive quantifier does not have the same
+effect in this example; although it would suppress backtracking during the
+first match attempt, the second attempt would start at the second character
+instead of skipping on to "c".</p>
+
+<quote><p> (*THEN)</p></quote>
+
+<p>This verb causes a skip to the next alternation if the rest of the pattern does
+not match. That is, it cancels pending backtracking, but only within the
+current alternation. Its name comes from the observation that it can be used
+for a pattern-based if-then-else block:</p>
+
+<quote><p> ( COND1 (*THEN) FOO | COND2 (*THEN) BAR | COND3 (*THEN) BAZ ) ...</p></quote>
+
+<p>If the COND1 pattern matches, FOO is tried (and possibly further items after
+the end of the group if FOO succeeds); on failure the matcher skips to the
+second alternative and tries COND2, without backtracking into COND1. If (*THEN)
+is used outside of any alternation, it acts exactly like (*PRUNE).</p>

+ <section>
+ <title>Regular Expressions</title>
+ <p>The regular expressions allowed here is a subset of the set found
+ in <c>egrep</c> and in the <c>AWK</c> programming language, as
+ defined in the book, <c>The AWK Programming Language, by A. V. Aho, B. W. Kernighan, P. J. Weinberger</c>. They are
+ composed of the following characters:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag>c</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches the non-metacharacter <c>c</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>\\c</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches the escape sequence or literal character <c>c</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>.</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches any character.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>^</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches the beginning of a string.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>$</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches the end of a string.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>[abc...]</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>character class, which matches any of the characters
+ <c>abc...</c> Character ranges are specified by a pair of
+ characters separated by a <c>-</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>[^abc...]</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>negated character class, which matches any character except
+ <c>abc...</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>r1 | r2</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>alternation. It matches either <c>r1</c> or <c>r2</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>r1r2</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>concatenation. It matches <c>r1</c> and then <c>r2</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>r+</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches one or more <c>r</c>s.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>r*</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches zero or more <c>r</c>s.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>r?</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>matches zero or one <c>r</c>s.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag>(r)</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>grouping. It matches <c>r</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The escape sequences allowed are the same as for Erlang
+ strings:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>\\b</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>backspace</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\f</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>form feed </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>newline (line feed) </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\r</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>carriage return </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\t</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>tab </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\e</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>escape </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\v</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>vertical tab </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\s</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>space </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\d</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>delete </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\ddd</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>the octal value ddd </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\xhh</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The hexadecimal value <c>hh</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\x{h...}</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The hexadecimal value <c>h...</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>\\c</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>any other character literally, for example <c>\\\\</c> for backslash,
+ <c>\\"</c> for ")</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>To make these functions easier to use, in combination with the
+ function <c>io:get_line</c> which terminates the input line with
+ a new line, the <c>$</c> characters also matches a string ending
+ with <c>"...\ "</c>. The following examples
+ define Erlang data types:</p>
+ <pre>
+Atoms [a-z][0-9a-zA-Z_]*
+
+Variables [A-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]*
+
+Floats (\\+|-)?[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+((E|e)(\\+|-)?[0-9]+)?</pre>
+ <p>Regular expressions are written as Erlang strings when used with the functions in this module. This means that any <c>\\</c> or <c>"</c> characters in a regular expression
+ string must be written with <c>\\</c> as they are also escape characters for the string. For example, the regular expression string for Erlang floats is:
+ <c>"(\\\\+|-)?[0-9]+\\\\.[0-9]+((E|e)(\\\\+|-)?[0-9]+)?"</c>.</p>
+ <p>It is not really necessary to have the escape sequences as part of the regular expression syntax as they can always be generated directly in the string. They are included for completeness and can they can also be useful when generating regular expressions, or when they are entered other than with Erlang strings.</p>

+ <modulesummary>The Erlang Shell</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The module <c>shell</c> implements an Erlang shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>The shell is a user interface program
+ for entering expression sequences. The expressions are
+ evaluated and a value is returned.
+ A history mechanism saves previous commands and their
+ values, which can then be incorporated in later commands.
+ How many commands and results to save can be determined by the user,
+ either interactively, by calling <c>shell:history/1</c> and
+ <c>shell:results/1</c>, or by setting the application configuration
+ parameters <c>shell_history_length</c> and
+ <c>shell_saved_results</c> for the application STDLIB.
+ </p>
+ <p>The shell uses a helper process for evaluating commands in
+ order to protect the history mechanism from exceptions. By
+ default the evaluator process is killed when an exception
+ occurs, but by calling <c>shell:catch_exception/1</c> or by
+ setting the application configuration parameter
+ <c>shell_catch_exception</c> for the application STDLIB
+ this behavior can be changed. See also the example below.
+ </p>
+ <p>Variable bindings, and local process dictionary changes
+ which are generated in user expressions are preserved, and the variables
+ can be used in later commands to access their values. The
+ bindings can also be forgotten so the variables can be re-used.
+ </p>
+ <p>The special shell commands all have the syntax of (local)
+ function calls. They are evaluated as
+ normal function calls and many commands can be used in one
+ expression sequence.
+ </p>
+ <p>If a command (local function call) is not recognized by the
+ shell, an attempt is first made to find the function in the
+ module <c>user_default</c>, where customized local commands
+ can be placed. If found, then the function is evaluated.
+ Otherwise, an attempt is made to evaluate the function in the
+ module <c>shell_default</c>. The module
+ <c>user_default</c> must be explicitly loaded.
+ </p>
+ <p>The shell also permits the user to start multiple concurrent
+ jobs. A job can be regarded as a set of processes which can
+ communicate with the shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>There is some support for reading and printing records in
+ the shell. During compilation record expressions are translated
+ to tuple expressions. In runtime it is not known whether a tuple
+ actually represents a record. Nor are the record definitions
+ used by compiler available at runtime. So in order to read the
+ record syntax and print tuples as records when possible, record
+ definitions have to be maintained by the shell itself. The shell
+ commands for reading, defining, forgetting, listing, and
+ printing records are described below. Note that each job has its
+ own set of record definitions. To facilitate matters record
+ definitions in the modules <c>shell_default</c> and
+ <c>user_default</c> (if loaded) are read each time a new job is
+ started. For instance, adding the line</p>
+ <code type="none">
+ -include_lib("kernel/include/file.hrl").</code>
+ <p>to <c>user_default</c> makes the definition of <c>file_info</c>
+ readily available in the shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>The shell runs in two modes: </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item><c>Normal (possibly restricted)</c> mode, in which
+ commands can be edited and expressions evaluated.
+ </item>
+ <item>Job Control Mode <c>JCL</c>, in which jobs can be
+ started, killed, detached and connected.
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Only the currently connected job can 'talk' to the shell.</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>Removes the binding of variable <c>X</c>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>h()</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Prints the history list.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>history(N)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Sets the number of previous commands to keep in the
+ history list to <c>N</c>. The previous number is returned.
+ The default number is 20.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>results(N)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Sets the number of results from previous commands to keep in
+ the history list to <c>N</c>. The previous number is returned.
+ The default number is 20.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>e(N)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Repeats the command <c>N</c>, if <c>N</c> is positive. If
+ it is negative, the <c>N</c>th previous command is repeated
+ (i.e., <c>e(-1)</c> repeats the previous command).
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>v(N)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Uses the return value of the command <c>N</c> in the
+ current command, if <c>N</c> is positive. If it is negative,
+ the return value of the <c>N</c>th previous command is used
+ (i.e., <c>v(-1)</c> uses the value of the previous command).
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>help()</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Evaluates <c>shell_default:help()</c>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>c(File)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Evaluates <c>shell_default:c(File)</c>. This compiles
+ and loads code in <c>File</c> and purges old versions of
+ code, if necessary. Assumes that the file and module names
+ are the same.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>catch_exception(Bool)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Sets the exception handling of the evaluator process. The
+ previous exception handling is returned. The default
+ (<c>false</c>) is to kill the evaluator process when an
+ exception occurs, which causes the shell to create a new
+ evaluator process. When the exception handling is set to
+ <c>true</c> the evaluator process lives on which means that
+ for instance ports and ETS tables as well as processes
+ linked to the evaluator process survive the exception.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rd(RecordName, RecordDefinition)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Defines a record in the shell. <c>RecordName</c> is
+ an atom and <c>RecordDefinition</c> lists the field names
+ and the default values. Usually record definitions are made
+ known to the shell by use of the <c>rr</c> commands
+ described below, but sometimes it is handy to define records
+ on the fly.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rf()</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Removes all record definitions, then reads record
+ definitions from the modules <c>shell_default</c> and
+ <c>user_default</c> (if loaded). Returns the names of the
+ records defined.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rf(RecordNames)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Removes selected record definitions.
+ <c>RecordNames</c> is a record name or a list of record names.
+ Use <c>'_'</c> to remove all record definitions.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rl()</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Prints all record definitions.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rl(RecordNames)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Prints selected record definitions.
+ <c>RecordNames</c> is a record name or a list of record names.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rp(Term)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Prints a term using the record definitions known to the
+ shell. All of <c>Term</c> is printed; the depth is not
+ limited as is the case when a return value is printed.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rr(Module)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Reads record definitions from a module's BEAM file. If
+ there are no record definitions in the BEAM file, the
+ source file is located and read instead. Returns the names
+ of the record definitions read. <c>Module</c> is an atom.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rr(Wildcard)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Reads record definitions from files. Existing
+ definitions of any of the record names read are replaced.
+ <c>Wildcard</c> is a wildcard string as defined in
+ <c>filelib(3)</c> but not an atom.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rr(WildcardOrModule, RecordNames)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Reads record definitions from files but
+ discards record names not mentioned in <c>RecordNames</c> (a
+ record name or a list of record names).
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>rr(WildcardOrModule, RecordNames, Options)</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Reads record definitions from files. The compiler
+ options <c>{i,&nbsp;Dir}</c>, <c>{d,&nbsp;Macro}</c>, and
+ <c>{d,&nbsp;Macro,&nbsp;Value}</c> are recognized and used
+ for setting up the include path and macro definitions. Use
+ <c>'_'</c> as value of <c>RecordNames</c> to read all record
+ definitions.

+ <p>Command 1 sets the variable <c>Str</c> to the string
+ <c>"abcd"</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 2 sets <c>L</c> to the length of the string evaluating
+ the BIF <c>atom_to_list</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 3 builds the tuple <c>Descriptor</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 4 prints the value of the variable <c>L</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 5 evaluates the internal shell command <c>b()</c>, which
+ is an abbreviation of "bindings". This prints
+ the current shell variables and their bindings. The <c>ok</c> at
+ the end is the return value of the <c>b()</c> function.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 6 <c>f(L)</c> evaluates the internal shell command
+ <c>f(L)</c> (abbreviation of "forget"). The value of the variable
+ <c>L</c> is removed.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 7 prints the new bindings.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 8 has no effect since <c>L</c> has no value.</p>
+ <p>Command 9 performs a pattern matching operation on
+ <c>Descriptor</c>, binding a new value to <c>L</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 10 prints the current value of <c>L</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 11 tries to match <c>{P, Q, R}</c> against
+ <c>Descriptor</c> which is <c>{4, abc}</c>. The match fails and
+ none of the new variables become bound. The printout starting
+ with "<c>** exception error:</c>" is not the value of the
+ expression (the expression had no value because its evaluation
+ failed), but rather a warning printed by the system to inform
+ the user that an error has occurred. The values of the other
+ variables (<c>L</c>, <c>Str</c>, etc.) are unchanged.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 12 and 13 show that <c>P</c> is unbound because the
+ previous command failed, and that <c>Descriptor</c> has not
+ changed.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 14 and 15 show a correct match where <c>P</c> and
+ <c>Q</c> are bound.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 16 clears all bindings.
+ </p>
+ <p>The next few commands assume that <c>test1:demo(X)</c> is
+ defined in the following way:</p>
+ <pre>
+demo(X) ->
+ put(aa, worked),
+ X = 1,
+ X + 10. </pre>
+ <p>Commands 17 and 18 set and inspect the value of the item
+ <c>aa</c> in the process dictionary.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 19 evaluates <c>test1:demo(1)</c>. The evaluation
+ succeeds and the changes made in the process dictionary become
+ visible to the shell. The new value of the dictionary item
+ <c>aa</c> can be seen in command 20.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 21 and 22 change the value of the dictionary item
+ <c>aa</c> to <c>hello</c> and call <c>test1:demo(2)</c>. Evaluation
+ fails and the changes made to the dictionary in
+ <c>test1:demo(2)</c>, before the error occurred, are discarded.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 23 and 24 show that <c>Z</c> was not bound and that the
+ dictionary item <c>aa</c> has retained its original value.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 25, 26 and 27 show the effect of evaluating
+ <c>test1:demo(1)</c> in the background. In this case, the
+ expression is evaluated in a newly spawned process. Any
+ changes made in the process dictionary are local to the newly
+ spawned process and therefore not visible to the shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>Commands 28, 29 and 30 use the history facilities of the shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 29 is <c>e(28)</c>. This re-evaluates command
+ 28. Command 30 is <c>v(28)</c>. This uses the value (result) of
+ command 28. In the cases of a pure function (a function
+ with no side effects), the result is the same. For a function
+ with side effects, the result can be different.
+ </p>
+ <p>The next few commands show some record manipulation. It is
+ assumed that <c>ex.erl</c> defines a record like this:</p>
+ <pre>
+-record(rec, {a, b = val()}).
+
+val() ->
+ 3. </pre>
+ <p>Commands 31 and 32 compiles the file <c>ex.erl</c> and reads
+ the record definitions in <c>ex.beam</c>. If the compiler did not
+ output any record definitions on the BEAM file, <c>rr(ex)</c>
+ tries to read record definitions from the source file instead.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 33 prints the definition of the record named
+ <c>rec</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 34 tries to create a <c>rec</c> record, but fails
+ since the function <c>val/0</c> is undefined. Command 35 shows
+ the workaround: explicitly assign values to record fields that
+ cannot otherwise be initialized.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 36 prints the newly created record using record
+ definitions maintained by the shell.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 37 defines a record directly in the shell. The
+ definition replaces the one read from the file <c>ex.beam</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 38 creates a record using the new definition, and
+ prints the result.
+ </p>
+ <p>Command 39 and 40 show that record definitions are updated
+ as side effects. The evaluation of the command fails but
+ the definition of <c>rec</c> has been carried out.
+ </p>
+ <p>For the next command, it is assumed that <c>test1:loop(N)</c> is
+ defined in the following way:</p>
+ <pre>
+loop(N) ->
+ io:format("Hello Number: ~w~n", [N]),
+ loop(N+1).</pre>
+ <p>Command 41 evaluates <c>test1:loop(0)</c>, which puts the

+ <c>Control G</c>, which suspends output from the current process,

+ <p>In this particular case, the <c>i</c> command ("interrupt") is
+ used to terminate the looping program, and the <c>c</c> command

+ <p>Command 46 sets the exception handling of the evaluator process

+ <title>JCL Mode</title>
+ <p>When the shell starts, it starts a single evaluator
+ process. This process, together with any local processes which
+ it spawns, is referred to as a <c>job</c>. Only the current job,
+ which is said to be <c>connected</c>, can perform operations
+ with standard IO. All other jobs, which are said to be <c>detached</c>, are
+ <c>blocked</c> if they attempt to use standard IO.
+ </p>
+ <p>All jobs which do not use standard IO run in the normal way.
+ </p>
+ <p>The shell escape key <em><c>^G</c></em> (Control G) detaches the current job
+ and activates <c>JCL</c> mode. The <c>JCL</c> mode prompt is <c>"-->"</c>. If <c>"?"</c> is entered at the prompt, the following help message is
+ displayed:</p>
+ <pre>
+ --> ?

+
+ <section>
+ <title>Restricted Shell</title>
+ <p>The shell may be started in a
+ restricted mode. In this mode, the shell evaluates a function call
+ only if allowed. This feature makes it possible to, for example,
+ prevent a user from accidentally calling a function from the
+ prompt that could harm a running system (useful in combination
+ with the the system flag <em><c>+Bi</c></em>).</p>
+ <p>When the restricted shell evaluates an expression and
+ encounters a function call or an operator application,
+ it calls a callback function (with
+ information about the function call in question). This callback
+ function returns <c>true</c> to let the shell go ahead with the
+ evaluation, or <c>false</c> to abort it. There are two possible
+ callback functions for the user to implement:</p>
+ <p><em><c>local_allowed(Func, ArgList, State) -> {true,NewState} | {false,NewState}</c></em></p>
+ <p>to determine if the call to the local function <c>Func</c>
+ with arguments <c>ArgList</c> should be allowed.</p>
+ <p><em><c>non_local_allowed(FuncSpec, ArgList, State) -> {true,NewState} | {false,NewState} | {{redirect,NewFuncSpec,NewArgList},NewState}</c></em></p>
+ <p>to determine if the call to non-local function
+ <c>FuncSpec</c> (<c>{Module,Func}</c> or a fun) with arguments
+ <c>ArgList</c> should be allowed. The return value
+ <c>{redirect,NewFuncSpec,NewArgList}</c> can be used to let
+ the shell evaluate some other function than the one specified by
+ <c>FuncSpec</c> and <c>ArgList</c>.</p>
+ <p>These callback functions are in fact called from local and
+ non-local evaluation function handlers, described in the
+ <seealso marker="erl_eval">erl_eval</seealso>
+ manual page. (Arguments in <c>ArgList</c> are evaluated before the
+ callback functions are called.)</p>
+ <p>The <c>State</c> argument is a tuple
+ <c>{ShellState,ExprState}</c>. The return value <c>NewState</c>
+ has the same form. This may be used to carry a state between calls
+ to the callback functions. Data saved in <c>ShellState</c> lives
+ through an entire shell session. Data saved in <c>ExprState</c>
+ lives only through the evaluation of the current expression.</p>
+ <p>There are two ways to start a restricted shell session:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Use the STDLIB application variable <c>restricted_shell</c>
+ and specify, as its value, the name of the callback
+ module. Example (with callback functions implemented in
+ callback_mod.erl): <c>$ erl -stdlib restricted_shell callback_mod</c></item>
+ <item>From a normal shell session, call function
+ <c>shell:start_restricted/1</c>. This exits the current evaluator
+ and starts a new one in restricted mode.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p><em>Notes:</em></p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>When restricted shell mode is activated or
+ deactivated, new jobs started on the node will run in restricted
+ or normal mode respectively.</item>
+ <item>If restricted mode has been enabled on a
+ particular node, remote shells connecting to this node will also
+ run in restricted mode.</item>
+ <item>The callback functions cannot be used to allow or disallow
+ execution of functions called from compiled code (only functions
+ called from expressions entered at the shell prompt).</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Errors when loading the callback module is handled in different
+ ways depending on how the restricted shell is activated:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>If the restricted shell is activated by setting the kernel
+ variable during emulator startup and the callback module cannot be
+ loaded, a default restricted shell allowing only the commands
+ <c>q()</c> and <c>init:stop()</c> is used as fallback.</item>
+ <item>If the restricted shell is activated using
+ <c>shell:start_restricted/1</c> and the callback module cannot be
+ loaded, an error report is sent to the error logger and the call
+ returns <c>{error,Reason}</c>.</item>

+ <modulesummary>Functions to Starting and Controlling Slave Nodes</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides functions for starting Erlang slave nodes.
+ All slave nodes which are started by a master will terminate
+ automatically when the master terminates. All TTY output produced
+ at the slave will be sent back to the master node. File I/O is
+ done via the master.</p>
+ <p>Slave nodes on other hosts than the current one are started with
+ the program <c>rsh</c>. The user must be allowed to <c>rsh</c> to
+ the remote hosts without being prompted for a password. This can
+ be arranged in a number of ways (refer to the <c>rsh</c>
+ documentation for details). A slave node started on the same host
+ as the master inherits certain environment values from the master,
+ such as the current directory and the environment variables. For
+ what can be assumed about the environment when a slave is started
+ on another host, read the documentation for the <c>rsh</c>
+ program.</p>
+ <p>An alternative to the <c>rsh</c> program can be specified on
+ the command line to <c>erl</c> as follows: <c>-rsh Program</c>.</p>
+ <p>The slave node should use the same file system at the master. At
+ least, Erlang/OTP should be installed in the same place on both
+ computers and the same version of Erlang should be used.</p>
+ <p>Currently, a node running on Windows NT can only start slave
+ nodes on the host on which it is running.</p>
+ <p>The master node must be alive.</p>

+ </type>
+ <desc>
+ <p>Starts a slave node on the host <c>Host</c>. Host names need
+ not necessarily be specified as fully qualified names; short
+ names can also be used. This is the same condition that
+ applies to names of distributed Erlang nodes.</p>
+ <p>The name of the started node will be <c>Name@Host</c>. If no
+ name is provided, the name will be the same as the node which
+ executes the call (with the exception of the host name part of
+ the node name).</p>
+ <p>The slave node resets its <c>user</c> process so that all
+ terminal I/O which is produced at the slave is automatically
+ relayed to the master. Also, the file process will be relayed
+ to the master.</p>
+ <p>The <c>Args</c> argument is used to set <c>erl</c> command
+ line arguments. If provided, it is passed to the new node and
+ can be used for a variety of purposes. See
+ <seealso marker="erts:erl#erl">erl(1)</seealso></p>
+ <p>As an example, suppose that we want to start a slave node at
+ host <c>H</c> with the node name <c>Name@H</c>, and we also
+ want the slave node to have the following properties:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>directory <c>Dir</c> should be added to the code path;</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>the Mnesia directory should be set to <c>M</c>;</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>the unix <c>DISPLAY</c> environment variable should be
+ set to the display of the master node.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The following code is executed to achieve this:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+E = " -env DISPLAY " ++ net_adm:localhost() ++ ":0 ",
+Arg = "-mnesia_dir " ++ M ++ " -pa " ++ Dir ++ E,
+slave:start(H, Name, Arg).</code>
+ <p>If successful, the function returns <c>{ok, Node}</c>,
+ where <c>Node</c> is the name of the new node. Otherwise it
+ returns <c>{error, Reason}</c>, where <c>Reason</c> can be
+ one of:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>timeout</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The master node failed to get in contact with the slave
+ node. This can happen in a number of circumstances:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Erlang/OTP is not installed on the remote host</item>
+ <item>the file system on the other host has a different

+ <modulesummary>Functions for Manipulating Sets of Sets</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>sofs</c> module implements operations on finite sets and
+ relations represented as sets. Intuitively, a set is a
+ collection of elements; every element belongs to the set, and
+ the set contains every element.</p>
+ <p>Given a set A and a sentence S(x), where x is a free variable,
+ a new set B whose elements are exactly those elements of A for
+ which S(x) holds can be formed, this is denoted B&nbsp;=
+ {x&nbsp;in&nbsp;A&nbsp;: S(x)}. Sentences are expressed using
+ the logical operators "for some" (or "there exists"), "for all",
+ "and", "or", "not". If the existence of a set containing all the
+ specified elements is known (as will always be the case in this
+ module), we write B&nbsp;= {x&nbsp;: S(x)}. </p>
+ <p>The <em>unordered set</em> containing the elements a, b and c
+ is denoted {a,&nbsp;b,&nbsp;c}. This notation is not to be
+ confused with tuples. The <em>ordered pair</em> of a and b, with
+ first <em>coordinate</em> a and second coordinate b, is denoted
+ (a,&nbsp;b). An ordered pair is an <em>ordered set</em> of two
+ elements. In this module ordered sets can contain one, two or
+ more elements, and parentheses are used to enclose the elements.
+ Unordered sets and ordered sets are orthogonal, again in this
+ module; there is no unordered set equal to any ordered set.</p>
+ <p>The set that contains no elements is called the <em>empty set</em>.
+ If two sets A and B contain the same elements, then A
+ is <marker id="equal"></marker><em>equal</em> to B, denoted
+ A&nbsp;=&nbsp;B. Two ordered sets are equal if they contain the
+ same number of elements and have equal elements at each
+ coordinate. If a set A contains all elements that B contains,
+ then B is a <marker id="subset"></marker><em>subset</em> of A.
+ The <marker id="union"></marker><em>union</em> of two sets A and B is
+ the smallest set that contains all elements of A and all elements of
+ B. The <marker id="intersection"></marker><em>intersection</em> of two
+ sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that
+ belong to B.
+ Two sets are <marker id="disjoint"></marker><em>disjoint</em> if their
+ intersection is the empty set.
+ The <marker id="difference"></marker><em>difference</em> of
+ two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that
+ do not belong to B.
+ The <marker id="symmetric_difference"></marker><em>symmetric
+ difference</em> of
+ two sets is the set that contains those element that belong to
+ either of the two sets, but not both.
+ The <marker id="union_n"></marker><em>union</em> of a collection
+ of sets is the smallest set that contains all the elements that
+ belong to at least one set of the collection.
+ The <marker id="intersection_n"></marker><em>intersection</em> of
+ a non-empty collection of sets is the set that contains all elements
+ that belong to every set of the collection.</p>
+ <p>The <marker id="Cartesian_product"></marker><em>Cartesian
+ product</em> of
+ two sets X and Y, denoted X&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;Y, is the set
+ {a&nbsp;: a&nbsp;= (x,&nbsp;y) for some x&nbsp;in&nbsp;X and for
+ some y&nbsp;in&nbsp;Y}.
+ A <marker id="relation"></marker><em>relation</em> is a subset of
+ X&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;Y. Let R be a relation. The fact that
+ (x,&nbsp;y) belongs to R is written as x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y. Since
+ relations are sets, the definitions of the last paragraph
+ (subset, union, and so on) apply to relations as well.
+ The <marker id="domain"></marker><em>domain</em> of R is the
+ set {x&nbsp;: x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y for some y&nbsp;in&nbsp;Y}.
+ The <marker id="range"></marker><em>range</em> of R is the
+ set {y&nbsp;: x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y for some x&nbsp;in&nbsp;X}.
+ The <marker id="converse"></marker><em>converse</em> of R is the
+ set {a&nbsp;: a&nbsp;= (y,&nbsp;x) for some
+ (x,&nbsp;y)&nbsp;in&nbsp;R}. If A is a subset of X, then
+ the <marker id="image"></marker><em>image</em> of
+ A under R is the set {y&nbsp;: x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y for some
+ x&nbsp;in&nbsp;A}, and if B is a subset of Y, then
+ the <marker id="inverse_image"></marker><em>inverse image</em> of B is
+ the set {x&nbsp;: x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y for some y&nbsp;in&nbsp;B}. If R is a
+ relation from X to Y and S is a relation from Y to Z, then
+ the <marker id="relative_product"></marker><em>relative product</em> of
+ R and S is the relation T from X to Z defined so that x&nbsp;T&nbsp;z
+ if and only if there exists an element y in Y such that
+ x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y and y&nbsp;S&nbsp;z.
+ The <marker id="restriction"></marker><em>restriction</em> of R to A is
+ the set S defined so that x&nbsp;S&nbsp;y if and only if there exists an
+ element x in A such that x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y. If S is a restriction
+ of R to A, then R is
+ an <marker id="extension"></marker><em>extension</em> of S to X.
+ If X&nbsp;=&nbsp;Y then we call R a relation <em>in</em> X.
+ The <marker id="field"></marker><em>field</em> of a relation R in X
+ is the union of the domain of R and the range of R.
+ If R is a relation in X, and
+ if S is defined so that x&nbsp;S&nbsp;y if x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y and
+ not x&nbsp;=&nbsp;y, then S is
+ the <marker id="strict_relation"></marker><em>strict</em> relation
+ corresponding to
+ R, and vice versa, if S is a relation in X, and if R is defined
+ so that x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y if x&nbsp;S&nbsp;y or x&nbsp;=&nbsp;y,
+ then R is the <marker id="weak_relation"></marker><em>weak</em> relation
+ corresponding to S. A relation R in X is <em>reflexive</em> if
+ x&nbsp;R&nbsp;x for every element x of X; it is
+ <em>symmetric</em> if x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y implies that
+ y&nbsp;R&nbsp;x; and it is <em>transitive</em> if
+ x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y and y&nbsp;R&nbsp;z imply that x&nbsp;R&nbsp;z.</p>
+ <p>A <marker id="function"></marker><em>function</em> F is a relation, a
+ subset of X&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;Y, such that the domain of F is
+ equal to X and such that for every x in X there is a unique
+ element y in Y with (x,&nbsp;y) in F. The latter condition can
+ be formulated as follows: if x&nbsp;F&nbsp;y and x&nbsp;F&nbsp;z
+ then y&nbsp;=&nbsp;z. In this module, it will not be required
+ that the domain of F be equal to X for a relation to be
+ considered a function. Instead of writing
+ (x,&nbsp;y)&nbsp;in&nbsp;F or x&nbsp;F&nbsp;y, we write
+ F(x)&nbsp;=&nbsp;y when F is a function, and say that F maps x
+ onto y, or that the value of F at x is y. Since functions are
+ relations, the definitions of the last paragraph (domain, range,
+ and so on) apply to functions as well. If the converse of a
+ function F is a function F', then F' is called
+ the <marker id="inverse"></marker><em>inverse</em> of F.
+ The relative product of two functions F1 and F2 is called
+ the <marker id="composite"></marker><em>composite</em> of F1 and F2
+ if the range of F1 is a subset of the domain of F2. </p>
+ <p>Sometimes, when the range of a function is more important than
+ the function itself, the function is called a <em>family</em>.
+ The domain of a family is called the <em>index set</em>, and the
+ range is called the <em>indexed set</em>. If x is a family from
+ I to X, then x[i] denotes the value of the function at index i.
+ The notation "a family in X" is used for such a family. When the
+ indexed set is a set of subsets of a set X, then we call x
+ a <marker id="family"></marker><em>family of subsets</em> of X. If x
+ is a family of subsets of X, then the union of the range of x is
+ called the <em>union of the family</em> x. If x is non-empty
+ (the index set is non-empty),
+ the <em>intersection of the family</em> x is the intersection of
+ the range of x. In this
+ module, the only families that will be considered are families
+ of subsets of some set X; in the following the word "family"
+ will be used for such families of subsets.</p>
+ <p>A <marker id="partition"></marker><em>partition</em> of a set X is a
+ collection S of non-empty subsets of X whose union is X and
+ whose elements are pairwise disjoint. A relation in a set is an
+ <em>equivalence relation</em> if it is reflexive, symmetric and
+ transitive. If R is an equivalence relation in X, and x is an
+ element of X,
+ the <marker id="equivalence_class"></marker><em>equivalence
+ class</em> of x with respect to R is the set of all those
+ elements y of X for which x&nbsp;R&nbsp;y holds. The equivalence
+ classes constitute a partitioning of X. Conversely, if C is a
+ partition of X, then the relation that holds for any two
+ elements of X if they belong to the same equivalence class, is
+ an equivalence relation induced by the partition C. If R is an
+ equivalence relation in X, then
+ the <marker id="canonical_map"></marker><em>canonical map</em> is
+ the function that maps every element of X onto its equivalence class.
+ </p>
+ <p>Relations as defined above (as sets of ordered pairs) will from
+ now on be referred to as <em>binary relations</em>. We call a
+ set of ordered sets (x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n])
+ an <em>(n-ary) relation</em>, and say that the relation is a subset of
+ the <marker id="Cartesian_product_tuple"></marker>Cartesian product
+ X[1]&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;...&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;X[n] where x[i] is
+ an element of X[i], 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n.
+ The <marker id="projection"></marker><em>projection</em> of an n-ary
+ relation R onto coordinate i is the set {x[i]&nbsp;:
+ (x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[i],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n]) in R for some
+ x[j]&nbsp;in&nbsp;X[j], 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;j&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n
+ and not i&nbsp;=&nbsp;j}. The projections of a binary relation R
+ onto the first and second coordinates are the domain and the
+ range of R respectively. The relative product of binary
+ relations can be generalized to n-ary relations as follows. Let
+ TR be an ordered set (R[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;R[n]) of binary
+ relations from X to Y[i] and S a binary relation from
+ (Y[1]&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;...&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;Y[n]) to Z.
+ The <marker id="tuple_relative_product"></marker><em>relative
+ product</em> of
+ TR and S is the binary relation T from X to Z defined so that
+ x&nbsp;T&nbsp;z if and only if there exists an element y[i] in
+ Y[i] for each 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n such that
+ x&nbsp;R[i]&nbsp;y[i] and
+ (y[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;y[n])&nbsp;S&nbsp;z. Now let TR be a an
+ ordered set (R[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;R[n]) of binary relations from
+ X[i] to Y[i] and S a subset of
+ X[1]&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;...&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;X[n].
+ The <marker id="multiple_relative_product"></marker><em>multiple
+ relative product</em> of TR and and S is defined to be the
+ set {z&nbsp;: z&nbsp;= ((x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n]), (y[1],...,y[n]))
+ for some (x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n])&nbsp;in&nbsp;S and for some
+ (x[i],&nbsp;y[i]) in R[i],
+ 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n}.
+ The <marker id="natural_join"></marker><em>natural join</em> of
+ an n-ary relation R
+ and an m-ary relation S on coordinate i and j is defined to be
+ the set {z&nbsp;: z&nbsp;= (x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n],&nbsp;
+ y[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;y[j-1],&nbsp;y[j+1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;y[m])
+ for some (x[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;x[n])&nbsp;in&nbsp;R and for some
+ (y[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;y[m])&nbsp;in&nbsp;S such that
+ x[i]&nbsp;=&nbsp;y[j]}.</p>
+ <p><marker id="sets_definition"></marker>The sets recognized by this
+ module will be represented by elements of the relation Sets, defined as
+ the smallest set such that:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>for every atom T except '_' and for every term X,
+ (T,&nbsp;X) belongs to Sets (<em>atomic sets</em>);
+ </item>
+ <item>(['_'],&nbsp;[]) belongs to Sets (the <em>untyped empty set</em>);
+ </item>
+ <item>for every tuple T&nbsp;= {T[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;T[n]} and
+ for every tuple X&nbsp;= {X[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;X[n]}, if
+ (T[i],&nbsp;X[i]) belongs to Sets for every
+ 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n then (T,&nbsp;X) belongs
+ to Sets (<em>ordered sets</em>);
+ </item>
+ <item>for every term T, if X is the empty list or a non-empty
+ sorted list [X[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;X[n]] without duplicates
+ such that (T,&nbsp;X[i]) belongs to Sets for every
+ 1&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;i&nbsp;&lt;=&nbsp;n, then ([T],&nbsp;X)
+ belongs to Sets (<em>typed unordered sets</em>).</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>An <marker id="external_set"></marker><em>external set</em> is an
+ element of the range of Sets.
+ A <marker id="type"></marker><em>type</em>
+ is an element of the domain of Sets. If S is an element
+ (T,&nbsp;X) of Sets, then T is
+ a <marker id="valid_type"></marker><em>valid type</em> of X,
+ T is the type of S, and X is the external set
+ of S. <seealso marker="#from_term">from_term/2</seealso> creates a
+ set from a type and an Erlang term turned into an external set.</p>
+ <p>The actual sets represented by Sets are the elements of the
+ range of the function Set from Sets to Erlang terms and sets of
+ Erlang terms:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Set(T,Term)&nbsp;= Term, where T is an atom;</item>
+ <item>Set({T[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;T[n]},&nbsp;{X[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;X[n]})
+ &nbsp;= (Set(T[1],&nbsp;X[1]),&nbsp;...,&nbsp;Set(T[n],&nbsp;X[n]));</item>
+ <item>Set([T],&nbsp;[X[1],&nbsp;...,&nbsp;X[n]])
+ &nbsp;= {Set(T,&nbsp;X[1]),&nbsp;...,&nbsp;Set(T,&nbsp;X[n])};</item>
+ <item>Set([T],&nbsp;[])&nbsp;= {}.</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>When there is no risk of confusion, elements of Sets will be
+ identified with the sets they represent. For instance, if U is
+ the result of calling <c>union/2</c> with S1 and S2 as
+ arguments, then U is said to be the union of S1 and S2. A more
+ precise formulation would be that Set(U) is the union of Set(S1)
+ and Set(S2).</p>
+ <p>The types are used to implement the various conditions that
+ sets need to fulfill. As an example, consider the relative
+ product of two sets R and S, and recall that the relative
+ product of R and S is defined if R is a binary relation to Y and
+ S is a binary relation from Y. The function that implements the relative
+ product, <seealso marker="#relprod_impl">relative_product/2</seealso>, checks
+ that the arguments represent binary relations by matching [{A,B}]
+ against the type of the first argument (Arg1 say), and [{C,D}]
+ against the type of the second argument (Arg2 say). The fact
+ that [{A,B}] matches the type of Arg1 is to be interpreted as
+ Arg1 representing a binary relation from X to Y, where X is
+ defined as all sets Set(x) for some element x in Sets the type
+ of which is A, and similarly for Y. In the same way Arg2 is
+ interpreted as representing a binary relation from W to Z.
+ Finally it is checked that B matches C, which is sufficient to
+ ensure that W is equal to Y. The untyped empty set is handled
+ separately: its type, ['_'], matches the type of any unordered
+ set.</p>
+ <p>A few functions of this module (<c>drestriction/3</c>,
+ <c>family_projection/2</c>, <c>partition/2</c>,
+ <c>partition_family/2</c>, <c>projection/2</c>,
+ <c>restriction/3</c>, <c>substitution/2</c>) accept an Erlang
+ function as a means to modify each element of a given unordered
+ set. Such a function, called SetFun in the following, can be
+ specified as a functional object (fun), a tuple
+ <c>{external,&nbsp;Fun}</c>, or an integer. If SetFun is
+ specified as a fun, the fun is applied to each element of the
+ given set and the return value is assumed to be a set. If SetFun
+ is specified as a tuple <c>{external, Fun}</c>, Fun is applied
+ to the external set of each element of the given set and the
+ return value is assumed to be an external set. Selecting the
+ elements of an unordered set as external sets and assembling a
+ new unordered set from a list of external sets is in the present
+ implementation more efficient than modifying each element as a
+ set. However, this optimization can only be utilized when the
+ elements of the unordered set are atomic or ordered sets. It
+ must also be the case that the type of the elements matches some
+ clause of Fun (the type of the created set is the result of
+ applying Fun to the type of the given set), and that Fun does
+ nothing but selecting, duplicating or rearranging parts of the
+ elements. Specifying a SetFun as an integer I is equivalent to
+ specifying <c>{external, fun(X)&nbsp;-> element(I,&nbsp;X)}</c>,
+ but is to be preferred since it makes it possible to handle this
+ case even more efficiently. Examples of SetFuns:</p>
+ <pre>
+{sofs, union}
+fun(S) -> sofs:partition(1, S) end
+{external, fun(A) -> A end}
+{external, fun({A,_,C}) -> {C,A} end}
+{external, fun({_,{_,C}}) -> C end}
+{external, fun({_,{_,{_,E}=C}}) -> {E,{E,C}} end}
+2</pre>
+ <p>The order in which a SetFun is applied to the elements of an
+ unordered set is not specified, and may change in future
+ versions of sofs.</p>
+ <p>The execution time of the functions of this module is dominated
+ by the time it takes to sort lists. When no sorting is needed,
+ the execution time is in the worst case proportional to the sum
+ of the sizes of the input arguments and the returned value. A
+ few functions execute in constant time: <c>from_external</c>,
+ <c>is_empty_set</c>, <c>is_set</c>, <c>is_sofs_set</c>,
+ <c>to_external</c>, <c>type</c>.</p>
+ <p>The functions of this module exit the process with a
+ <c>badarg</c>, <c>bad_function</c>, or <c>type_mismatch</c>
+ message when given badly formed arguments or sets the types of
+ which are not compatible.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Generic Supervisor Behaviour</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>A behaviour module for implementing a supervisor, a process which
+ supervises other processes called child processes. A child
+ process can either be another supervisor or a worker process.
+ Worker processes are normally implemented using one of
+ the <c>gen_event</c>, <c>gen_fsm</c>, or <c>gen_server</c>
+ behaviours. A supervisor implemented using this module will have
+ a standard set of interface functions and include functionality
+ for tracing and error reporting. Supervisors are used to build an
+ hierarchical process structure called a supervision tree, a
+ nice way to structure a fault tolerant application. Refer to
+ <em>OTP Design Principles</em> for more information.</p>
+ <p>A supervisor assumes the definition of which child processes to
+ supervise to be located in a callback module exporting a
+ pre-defined set of functions.</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module will fail
+ if the specified supervisor does not exist or if bad arguments
+ are given.</p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Supervision Principles</title>
+ <p>The supervisor is responsible for starting, stopping and
+ monitoring its child processes. The basic idea of a supervisor is
+ that it should keep its child processes alive by restarting them
+ when necessary.</p>
+ <p>The children of a supervisor is defined as a list of <em>child specifications</em>. When the supervisor is started, the child
+ processes are started in order from left to right according to
+ this list. When the supervisor terminates, it first terminates
+ its child processes in reversed start order, from right to left.</p>
+ <p></p>
+ <p>A supervisor can have one of the following <em>restart strategies</em>:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>one_for_one</c> - if one child process terminates and
+ should be restarted, only that child process is affected.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>one_for_all</c> - if one child process terminates and
+ should be restarted, all other child processes are terminated
+ and then all child processes are restarted.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>rest_for_one</c> - if one child process terminates and
+ should be restarted, the 'rest' of the child processes --
+ i.e. the child processes after the terminated child process
+ in the start order -- are terminated. Then the terminated
+ child process and all child processes after it are restarted.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>simple_one_for_one</c> - a simplified <c>one_for_one</c>
+ supervisor, where all child processes are dynamically added
+ instances of the same process type, i.e. running the same
+ code.</p>
+ <p>The functions <c>terminate_child/2</c>, <c>delete_child/2</c>
+ and <c>restart_child/2</c> are invalid for
+ <c>simple_one_for_one</c> supervisors and will return
+ <c>{error,simple_one_for_one}</c> if the specified supervisor
+ uses this restart strategy.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>To prevent a supervisor from getting into an infinite loop of
+ child process terminations and restarts, a <em>maximum restart frequency</em> is defined using two integer values <c>MaxR</c>
+ and <c>MaxT</c>. If more than <c>MaxR</c> restarts occur within
+ <c>MaxT</c> seconds, the supervisor terminates all child
+ processes and then itself.
+ </p>
+ <marker id="child_spec"/>
+ <p>This is the type definition of a child specification:</p>
+ <pre>
+child_spec() = {Id,StartFunc,Restart,Shutdown,Type,Modules}
+ Id = term()
+ StartFunc = {M,F,A}
+ M = F = atom()
+ A = [term()]
+ Restart = permanent | transient | temporary
+ Shutdown = brutal_kill | int()>=0 | infinity
+ Type = worker | supervisor
+ Modules = [Module] | dynamic
+ Module = atom()</pre>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Id</c> is a name that is used to identify the child
+ specification internally by the supervisor.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>StartFunc</c> defines the function call used to start
+ the child process. It should be a module-function-arguments
+ tuple <c>{M,F,A}</c> used as <c>apply(M,F,A)</c>.</p>
+ <p> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>The start function <em>must create and link to</em> the child
+ process, and should return <c>{ok,Child}</c> or
+ <c>{ok,Child,Info}</c> where <c>Child</c> is the pid of
+ the child process and <c>Info</c> an arbitrary term which is
+ ignored by the supervisor.</p>
+ <p> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>The start function can also return <c>ignore</c> if the child
+ process for some reason cannot be started, in which case
+ the child specification will be kept by the supervisor but
+ the non-existing child process will be ignored.</p>
+ <p> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>If something goes wrong, the function may also return an
+ error tuple <c>{error,Error}</c>.</p>
+ <p> <br></br>
+</p>
+ <p>Note that the <c>start_link</c> functions of the different
+ behaviour modules fulfill the above requirements.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Restart</c> defines when a terminated child process
+ should be restarted. A <c>permanent</c> child process should
+ always be restarted, a <c>temporary</c> child process should
+ never be restarted and a <c>transient</c> child process
+ should be restarted only if it terminates abnormally, i.e.
+ with another exit reason than <c>normal</c>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Shutdown</c> defines how a child process should be
+ terminated. <c>brutal_kill</c> means the child process will
+ be unconditionally terminated using <c>exit(Child,kill)</c>.
+ An integer timeout value means that the supervisor will tell
+ the child process to terminate by calling
+ <c>exit(Child,shutdown)</c> and then wait for an exit signal
+ with reason <c>shutdown</c> back from the child process. If
+ no exit signal is received within the specified time,
+ the child process is unconditionally terminated using
+ <c>exit(Child,kill)</c>.</p>
+ <p>If the child process is another supervisor, <c>Shutdown</c>
+ should be set to <c>infinity</c> to give the subtree ample
+ time to shutdown.</p>
+ <p><em>Important note on simple-one-for-one supervisors:</em>
+ The dynamically created child processes of a
+ simple-one-for-one supervisor are not explicitly killed,
+ regardless of shutdown strategy, but are expected to terminate
+ when the supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal from
+ the parent process is received).</p>
+ <p>Note that all child processes implemented using the standard
+ OTP behavior modules automatically adhere to the shutdown
+ protocol.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Type</c> specifies if the child process is a supervisor or
+ a worker.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Modules</c> is used by the release handler during code
+ replacement to determine which processes are using a certain
+ module. As a rule of thumb <c>Modules</c> should be a list
+ with one element <c>[Module]</c>, where <c>Module</c> is
+ the callback module, if the child process is a supervisor,
+ gen_server or gen_fsm. If the child process is an event
+ manager (gen_event) with a dynamic set of callback modules,
+ <c>Modules</c> should be <c>dynamic</c>. See <em>OTP Design Principles</em> for more information about release handling.</p>

+ <modulesummary>Generic Supervisor Bridge Behaviour.</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>A behaviour module for implementing a supervisor_bridge, a process
+ which connects a subsystem not designed according to the OTP design
+ principles to a supervision tree. The supervisor_bridge sits between
+ a supervisor and the subsystem. It behaves like a real supervisor to
+ its own supervisor, but has a different interface than a real
+ supervisor to the subsystem. Refer to <em>OTP Design Principles</em>
+ for more information.</p>
+ <p>A supervisor_bridge assumes the functions for starting and stopping
+ the subsystem to be located in a callback module exporting a
+ pre-defined set of functions.</p>
+ <p>The <c>sys</c> module can be used for debugging a
+ supervisor_bridge.</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module will fail if
+ the specified supervisor_bridge does not exist or if bad arguments are
+ given.</p>

+ <modulesummary>A Functional Interface to System Messages</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions for sending system messages used by programs, and messaged used for debugging purposes.
+ </p>
+ <p>Functions used for implementation of processes
+ should also understand system messages such as debugging
+ messages and code change. These functions must be used to implement the use of system messages for a process; either directly, or through standard behaviours, such as <c>gen_server</c>.</p>
+ <p>The following types are used in the functions defined below:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Name = pid() | atom() | {global, atom()}</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>Timeout = int() >= 0 | infinity</c></p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p><c>system_event() = {in, Msg} | {in, Msg, From} | {out, Msg, To} | term()</c></p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The default timeout is 5000 ms, unless otherwise specified. The
+ <c>timeout</c> defines the time period to wait for the process to
+ respond to a request. If the process does not respond, the
+ function evaluates <c>exit({timeout, {M, F, A}})</c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>The functions make reference to a debug structure.
+ The debug structure is a list of <c>dbg_opt()</c>.
+ <c>dbg_opt()</c> is an internal data type used by the
+ <c>handle_system_msg/6</c> function. No debugging is performed if it is an empty list.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>System Messages</title>
+ <p>Processes which are not implemented as one of the standard
+ behaviours must still understand system
+ messages. There are three different messages which must be
+ understood:
+ </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>Plain system messages. These are received as
+ <c>{system, From, Msg}</c>. The content and meaning of
+ this message are not interpreted by the
+ receiving process module. When a system message has been
+ received, the function <c>sys:handle_system_msg/6</c>
+ is called in order to handle the request.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Shutdown messages. If the process traps exits, it must
+ be able to handle an shut-down request from its parent, the
+ supervisor. The message <c>{'EXIT', Parent, Reason}</c>
+ from the parent is an order to terminate. The process must terminate when this message is received, normally with the
+ same <c>Reason</c> as <c>Parent</c>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>There is one more message which the process must understand if the modules used to implement the process change dynamically during runtime. An example of such a process is the <c>gen_event</c> processes. This message is <c>{get_modules, From}</c>. The reply to this message is <c>From ! {modules, Modules}</c>,
+ where <c>Modules</c> is a list of the currently active modules in the process.
+ </p>
+ <p>This message is used by the release handler to find which
+ processes execute a certain module. The process may at a
+ later time be suspended and ordered to perform a code change
+ for one of its modules.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>System Events</title>
+ <p>When debugging a process with the functions of this
+ module, the process generates <em>system_events</em> which are
+ then treated in the debug function. For example, <c>trace</c>
+ formats the system events to the tty.
+ </p>
+ <p>There are three predefined system events which are used when a
+ process receives or sends a message. The process can also define its
+ own system events. It is always up to the process itself
+ to format these events.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides useful functions related to time. Unless otherwise
+ stated, time is always measured in <c>milliseconds</c>. All
+ timer functions return immediately, regardless of work carried
+ out by another process.
+ </p>
+ <p>Successful evaluations of the timer functions yield return values
+ containing a timer reference, denoted <c>TRef</c> below. By using
+ <c>cancel/1</c>, the returned reference can be used to cancel any
+ requested action. A <c>TRef</c> is an Erlang term, the contents
+ of which must not be altered.
+ </p>
+ <p>The timeouts are not exact, but should be <c>at least</c> as long
+ as requested.

+ <p>An interval timer, i.e. a timer created by evaluating any of the

+ <c>send_after/2</c>, <c>exit_after/3</c>, <c>exit_after/2</c>,
+ <c>kill_after/2</c>, and <c>kill_after/1</c> is not linked to any
+ process. Hence, such a timer is removed only when it reaches its

+ <modulesummary>Functions for converting Unicode characters</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions for converting between different character representations. Basically it converts between iso-latin-1 characters and Unicode ditto, but it can also convert between different Unicode encodings (like UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32).</p>
+ <p>The default Unicode encoding in Erlang is in binaries UTF-8, which is also the format in which built in functions and libraries in OTP expect to find binary Unicode data. In lists, Unicode data is encoded as integers, each integer representing one character and encoded simply as the Unicode codepoint for the character.</p>
+ <p>Other Unicode encodings than integers representing codepoints or UTF-8 in binaries are referred to as &quot;external encodings&quot;. The iso-latin-1 encoding is in binaries and lists referred to as latin1-encoding.</p>
+ <p>It is recommended to only use external encodings for communication with external entities where this is required. When working inside the Erlang/OTP environment, it is recommended to keep binaries in UTF-8 when representing Unicode characters. Latin1 encoding is supported both for backward compatibility and for communication with external entities not supporting Unicode character sets.</p>

+
+ <p>This function converts a possibly deep list of integers and
+ binaries into a list of integers representing unicode
+ characters. The binaries in the input may have characters
+ encoded as latin1 (0 - 255, one character per byte), in which
+ case the <c>InEncoding</c> parameter should be given as
+ <c>latin1</c>, or have characters encoded as one of the
+ UTF-encodings, which is given as the <c>InEncoding</c>
+ parameter. Only when the <c>InEncoding</c> is one of the UTF
+ encodings, integers in the list are allowed to be grater than
+ 255.</p>
+
+ <p>If <c>InEncoding</c> is <c>latin1</c>, the <c>Data</c> parameter
+ corresponds to the <c>iodata()</c> type, but for <c>unicode</c>,
+ the <c>Data</c> parameter can contain integers greater than 255
+ (unicode characters beyond the iso-latin-1 range), which would
+ make it invalid as <c>iodata()</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>The purpose of the function is mainly to be able to convert
+ combinations of unicode characters into a pure unicode
+ string in list representation for further processing. For
+ writing the data to an external entity, the reverse function
+ <seealso
+ marker="#characters_to_binary/3">characters_to_binary/3</seealso>
+ comes in handy.</p>
+
+ <p>The option <c>unicode</c> is an alias for <c>utf8</c>, as this is the
+ preferred encoding for Unicode characters in
+ binaries. <c>utf16</c> is an alias for <c>{utf16,big}</c> and
+ <c>utf32</c> is an alias for <c>{utf32,big}</c>. The <c>big</c>
+ and <c>little</c> atoms denote big or little endian
+ encoding.</p>
+
+ <p>If for some reason, the data cannot be converted, either
+ because of illegal unicode/latin1 characters in the list, or
+ because of invalid UTF encoding in any binaries, an error
+ tuple is returned. The error tuple contains the tag
+ <c>error</c>, a list representing the characters that could be
+ converted before the error occurred and a representation of the
+ characters including and after the offending integer/bytes. The
+ last part is mostly for debugging as it still constitutes a
+ possibly deep and/or mixed list, not necessarily of the same
+ depth as the original data. The error occurs when traversing the
+ list and whatever's left to decode is simply returned as is.</p>
+
+ <p>However, if the input <c>Data</c> is a pure binary, the third
+ part of the error tuple is guaranteed to be a binary as
+ well.</p>
+
+ <p>Errors occur for the following reasons:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+
+ <item>Integers out of range - If <c>InEncoding</c> is
+ <c>latin1</c>, an error occurs whenever an integer greater
+ than 255 is found in the lists. If <c>InEncoding</c> is
+ of a Unicode type, error occurs whenever an integer greater than
+ <c>16#10FFFF</c> (the maximum unicode character) or in the
+ range <c>16#D800</c> to <c>16#DFFF</c> (invalid unicode
+ range) is found.</item>
+
+ <item>UTF encoding incorrect - If <c>InEncoding</c> is
+ one of the UTF types, the bytes in any binaries have to be valid
+ in that encoding. Errors can occur for various
+ reasons, including &quot;pure&quot; decoding errors
+ (like the upper
+ bits of the bytes being wrong), the bytes are decoded to a
+ too large number, the bytes are decoded to a code-point in the
+ invalid unicode
+ range or encoding is &quot;overlong&quot;, meaning that a
+ number should have been encoded in fewer bytes. The
+ case of a truncated UTF is handled specially, see the
+ paragraph about incomplete binaries below. If
+ <c>InEncoding</c> is <c>latin1</c>, binaries are always valid
+ as long as they contain whole bytes,
+ as each byte falls into the valid iso-latin-1 range.</item>
+
+ </list>
+
+ <p>A special type of error is when no actual invalid integers or
+ bytes are found, but a trailing <c>binary()</c> consists of too
+ few bytes to decode the last character. This error might occur
+ if bytes are read from a file in chunks or binaries in other
+ ways are split on non UTF character boundaries. In this case an
+ <c>incomplete</c> tuple is returned instead of the <c>error</c>
+ tuple. It consists of the same parts as the <c>error</c> tuple, but
+ the tag is <c>incomplete</c> instead of <c>error</c> and the
+ last element is always guaranteed to be a binary consisting of
+ the first part of a (so far) valid UTF character.</p>
+
+ <p>If one UTF characters is split over two consecutive
+ binaries in the <c>Data</c>, the conversion succeeds. This means
+ that a character can be decoded from a range of binaries as long
+ as the whole range is given as input without errors
+ occurring. Example:</p>
+
+<code>
+ decode_data(Data) ->
+ case unicode:characters_to_list(Data,unicode) of
+ {incomplete,Encoded, Rest} ->
+ More = get_some_more_data(),
+ Encoded ++ decode_data([Rest, More]);
+ {error,Encoded,Rest} ->
+ handle_error(Encoded,Rest);
+ List ->
+ List
+ end.
+</code>
+ <p>Bit-strings that are not whole bytes are however not allowed,
+ so a UTF character has to be split along 8-bit boundaries to
+ ever be decoded.</p>
+
+ <p>If any parameters are of the wrong type, the list structure
+ is invalid (a number as tail) or the binaries does not contain
+ whole bytes (bit-strings), a <c>badarg</c> exception is
+ thrown.</p>

+<p>Implementing support for Unicode character sets is an ongoing process. The Erlang Enhancement Proposal (EEP) 10 outlines the basics of Unicode support and also specifies a default encoding in binaries that all Unicode-aware modules should handle in the future.</p>
+<p>The functionality described in EEP10 is implemented in Erlang/OTP as of R13A, but that's by no means the end of it. More functionality will be needed in the future and more OTP-libraries might need updating to cope with Unicode data. One example of future development is obvious when reading this manual, our documentation format is limited to the ISO-latin-1 character range, why no Unicode characters beyond that range will occur in this document.</p>
+<p>This guide outlines the current Unicode support and gives a couple of recipes for working with Unicode data.</p>
+<section>
+<title>What Unicode is</title>
+<p>Unicode is a standard defining codepoints (numbers) for all known, living or dead, scripts. In principle, every known symbol used in any language has a Unicode codepoint.</p>
+<p>Unicode codepoints are defined and published by the <em>Unicode Consortium</em>, which is a non profit organization.</p>
+<p>Support for Unicode is increasing throughout the world of computing, as the benefits of one common character set are overwhelming when programs are used in a global environment.</p>
+<p>Along with the base of the standard, the codepoints for all the scripts, there are a couple of encoding standards available. Different operating systems and tools support different encodings. For example Linux and MacOS X has chosen the UTF-8 encoding, which is backwards compatible with 7-bit ASCII and therefore affects programs written in plain English the least. Windows&reg; on the other hand supports a limited version of UTF-16, namely all the code planes where the characters can be stored in one single 16-bit entity, which includes most living languages.</p>
+<p>The most widely spread encodings are:</p>
+<taglist>
+<tag>UTF-8</tag>
+<item>Each character is stored in one to four bytes depending on codepoint. The encoding is backwards compatible with 7-bit ASCII as all 7-bit characters are stored in one single byte as is. The characters beyond codepoint 127 are stored in more bytes, letting the most significant bit in the first character indicate a multi-byte character. For details on the encoding, the RFC is publicly available.</item>
+<tag>UTF-16</tag>
+<item>This encoding has many similarities to UTF-8, but the basic unit is a 16-bit number. This means that all characters occupy at least two bytes, some high numbers even four bytes. Some programs and operating systems claiming to use UTF-16 only allows for characters that can be stored in one 16-bit entity, which is usually sufficient to handle living languages. As the basic unit is more than one byte, byte-order issues occur, why UTF-16 exists in both a big-endian and little-endian variant.</item>
+<tag>UTF-32</tag>
+<item>The most straight forward representation, each character is stored in one single 32-bit number. There is no need for escapes or any variable amount of entities for one character, all Unicode codepoints can be stored in one single 32-bit entity. As with UTF-16, there are byte-order issues, UTF-32 can be both big- and little-endian.</item>
+<tag>UCS-4</tag>
+<item>Basically the same as UTF-32, but without some Unicode semantics, defined by IEEE and has little use as a separate encoding standard. For all normal (and possibly abnormal) usages, UTF-32 and UCS-4 are interchangeable.</item>
+</taglist>
+<p>Certain ranges of characters are left unused and certain ranges are even deemed invalid. The most notable invalid range is 16#D800 - 16#DFFF, as the UTF-16 encoding does not allow for encoding of these numbers. It can be speculated that the UTF-16 encoding standard was, from the beginning, expected to be able to hold all Unicode characters in one 16-bit entity, but then had to be extended, leaving a whole in the Unicode range to cope with backward compatibility.</p>
+<p>Additionally, the codepoint 16#FEFF is used for byte order marks (BOM's) and use of that character is not encouraged in other contexts than that. It actually is valid though, as the character "ZWNBS" (Zero Width Non Breaking Space). BOM's are used to identify encodings and byte order for programs where such parameters are not known in advance. Byte order marks are more seldom used than one could expect, put their use is becoming more widely spread as they provide the means for programs to make educated guesses about the Unicode format of a certain file.</p>

+<section>
+<title>Standard Unicode representation in Erlang</title>
+<p>In Erlang, strings are actually lists of integers. A string is defined to be encoded in the ISO-latin-1 (ISO8859-1) character set, which is, codepoint by codepoint, a sub-range of the Unicode character set.</p>
+<p>The standard list encoding for strings is therefore easily extendible to cope with the whole Unicode range: A Unicode string in Erlang is simply a list containing integers, each integer being a valid Unicode codepoint and representing one character in the Unicode character set.</p>
+<p>Regular Erlang strings in ISO-latin-1 are a subset of there Unicode strings.</p>
+
+<p>Binaries on the other hand are more troublesome. For performance reasons, programs often store textual data in binaries instead of lists, mainly because they are more compact (one byte per character instead of two words per character, as is the case with lists). Using erlang:list_to_binary/1, an regular Erlang string can be converted into a binary, effectively using the ISO-latin-1 encoding in the binary - one byte per character. This is very convenient for those regular Erlang strings, but cannot be done for Unicode lists.</p>
+<p>As the UTF-8 encoding is widely spread and provides the most compact storage, it is selected as the standard encoding of Unicode characters in binaries for Erlang.</p>
+<p>The standard binary encoding is used whenever a library function in Erlang should cope with Unicode data in binaries, but is of course not enforced when communicating externally. Functions and bit-syntax exist to encode and decode both UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 in binaries. Library functions dealing with binaries and Unicode in general, however, only deal with the default encoding.</p>
+
+<p>Character data may be combined from several sources, sometimes available in a mix of strings and binaries. Erlang has for long had the concept of iodata or iolists, where binaries and lists can be combined to represent a sequence of bytes. In the same way, the Unicode aware modules often allow for combinations of binaries and lists where the binaries have characters encoded in UTF-8 and the lists contain such binaries or numbers representing Unicode codepoints:</p>
+<code type="none">
+unicode_binary() = binary() with characters encoded in UTF-8 coding standard
+unicode_char() = integer() representing valid unicode codepoint
+
+chardata() = charlist() | unicode_binary()
+
+charlist() = [unicode_char() | unicode_binary() | charlist()]
+ a unicode_binary is allowed as the tail of the list</code>
+<p>The module <c>unicode</c> in stdlib even supports similar mixes with binaries containing other encodings than UTF-8, but that is a special case to allow for conversions to and from external data:</p>
+ <code type="none">
+external_unicode_binary() = binary() with characters coded in a user specified Unicode encoding other than UTF-8 (UTF-16 or UTF-32)
+
+external_chardata() = external_charlist() | external_unicode_binary()
+
+external_charlist() = [unicode_char() | external_unicode_binary() | external_charlist()]
+ an external_unicode_binary is allowed as the tail of the list</code>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Basic language support for Unicode</title>
+<p>First of all, Erlang is still defined to be written in the ISO-latin-1 character set. Functions have to be named in that character set, atoms are restricted to ISO-latin-1 and regular strings are still lists of characters 0..255 in the ISO-latin-1 encoding. This has not (yet) changed, but the language has been slightly extended to cope with Unicode characters and encodings.</p>
+
+<section>
+<title>Bit-syntax</title>
+<p>The bit-syntax contains types for coping with binary data in the three main encodings. The types are named <c>utf8</c>, <c>utf16</c> and <c>utf32</c> respectively. The <c>utf16</c> and <c>utf32</c> types can be in a big- or little-endian variant:</p>
+<code>
+&lt;&lt;Ch/utf8,_/binary&gt;&gt; = Bin1,
+&lt;&lt;Ch/utf16-little,_/binary&gt;&gt; = Bin2,
+Bin3 = &lt;&lt;$H/utf32-little, $e/utf32-little, $l/utf32-little, $l/utf32-little, $o/utf32-little&gt;&gt;,</code>
+<p>For convenience, literal strings can be encoded with a Unicode encoding in binaries using the following (or similar) syntax:</p>
+<code>
+Bin4 = &lt;&lt;"Hello"/utf16&gt;&gt;,</code>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>String- and character-literals</title>
+<warning>
+<p>The literal syntax described here may be subject to change in R13B, it has not yet passed the usual process for language changes approval.</p>
+</warning>
+<p>It is convenient to be able to write a list of Unicode characters in the string syntax. However, the language specifies strings as being in the ISO-latin-1 character set which the compiler tool chain as well as many other tools expect.</p>
+<p>Also the source code is (for now) still expected to be written using the ISO-latin-1 character set, why Unicode characters beyond that range cannot be entered in string literals.</p>
+<p>To make it easier to enter Unicode characters in the shell, it allows strings with Unicode characters on input, immediately converting them to regular lists of integers. They will, by the evaluator etc be viewed as if they were input using the regular list syntax, which is - in the end - how the language actually treats them. They will in the same way not be output as strings by i.e <c>io:write/2</c> or <c>io:format/3</c> unless the format string supplied to <c>io:format</c> uses the Unicode translation modifier (which we will talk about later).</p>
+<p>For source code, there is an extension to the \OOO (backslash followed by three octal numbers) and \xHH (backslash followed by 'x', followed by two hexadecimal characters) syntax, namely \x{H ...} (a backslash followed by an 'x', followed by left curly bracket, any number of hexadecimal digits and a terminating right curly bracket). This allows for entering characters of any codepoint literally in a string. The string is immediately converted into a list by the scanner however, which is obvious when calling it directly:</p>
+<pre>
+1> <input>erl_scan:string("\"X\".").</input>
+{ok,[{string,1,"X"},{dot,1}],1}
+2> <input>erl_scan:string("\"\x{400}\".").</input>
+{ok,[{'[',1},{integer,1,1024},{']',1},{dot,1}],1}</pre>
+<p>Character literals, or rather integers representing Unicode codepoints can be expressed in a similar way using $\x{H ...}:</p>
+<pre>
+4> <input>$\x{400}.</input>
+1024</pre>
+<p>This also is a translation by the scanner:</p>
+<pre>
+5> <input>erl_scan:string("$Y.").</input>
+{ok,[{char,1,89},{dot,1}],1}
+6> <input>erl_scan:string("$\x{400}.").</input>
+{ok,[{integer,1,1024},{dot,1}],1}</pre>
+<p>In the shell, if using a Unicode input device, '$' can be followed directly by a Unicode character producing an integer. In the following example, let's imagine the character 'c' is actually a Cyrillic 's' (looking fairly similar):</p>
+<pre>
+7> <input>$c.</input>
+1089</pre>
+</section>
+<p>The literal syntax allowing Unicode characters is to be viewed as "syntactic sugar", but is, as such, fairly useful.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>The interactive shell</title>
+<p>The interactive Erlang shell, when started towards a terminal or started using the <c>werl</c> command on windows, can support Unicode input and output.</p>
+<p>On Windows&reg;, proper operation requires that a suitable font is installed and selected for the Erlang application to use. If no suitable font is available on your system, try installing the DejaVu fonts (dejavu-fonts.org), which are freely available and then select that font in the Erlang shell application.</p>
+<p>On Unix&reg;-like operating systems, the terminal should be able to handle UTF-8 on input and output (modern versions of XTerm, KDE konsole and the Gnome terminal do for example) and your locale settings have to be proper. As an example, my LANG environment variable is set as this:</p>
+<pre>
+$ <input>echo $LANG</input>
+en_US.UTF-8</pre>
+<p>Actually, most systems handle the LC_CTYPE variable before LANG, so if that is set, it has to be set to UTF-8:</p>
+<pre>
+$ echo <input>$LC_CTYPE</input>
+en_US.UTF-8</pre>
+<p>The LANG or LC_CTYPE setting should be consistent with what the terminal is capable of, there is no portable way for Erlang to ask the actual terminal about it's UTF-8 capacity, we have to rely on the language and character type settings.</p>
+<p>To investigate what Erlang thinks about the terminal, the <c>io:getopts()</c> call can be used when the shell is started:</p>
+<pre>
+$ <input>LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 erl</input>
+Erlang R13A (erts-5.7) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
+
+Eshell V5.7 (abort with ^G)
+1> <input>lists:keyfind(encoding,1,io:getopts()).</input>
+{encoding,latin1}
+2> <input>q().</input>
+ok
+$ <input>LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 erl</input>
+Erlang R13A (erts-5.7) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
+
+Eshell V5.7 (abort with ^G)
+1> <input>lists:keyfind(encoding,1,io:getopts()).</input>
+{encoding,unicode}
+2></pre>
+<p>When (finally?) everything is in order with the locale settings, fonts and the terminal emulator, you probably also have discovered a way to input characters in the script you desire. For testing, the simplest way is to add some keyboard mappings for other languages, usually done with some applet in your desktop environment. In my KDE environment, I start the KDE Control Center (Personal Settings), select "Regional and Accessibility" and then "Keyboard Layout". On Windows XP&reg;, I start Control Panel->Regional and Language Options, select the Language tab and click the Details... button in the square named "Text services and input Languages". Your environment probably provides similar means of changing the keyboard layout. Make sure you have a way to easily switch back and forth between keyboards if you are not used to this, entering commands using a Cyrillic character set is, as an example, not easily done in the Erlang shell.</p>
+<p>Now you are set up for some Unicode input and output. The simplest thing to do is of course to enter a string in the shell:</p>
+<image file="ushell1.gif"><icaption>Cyrillic characters in an Erlang shell</icaption></image>
+<p>While strings can be input as Unicode characters, the language elements are still limited to the ISO-latin-1 character set. Only character constants and strings are allowed to be beyond that range:</p>
+<image file="ushell2.gif"><icaption>Unicode characters in allowed and disallowed context</icaption></image>

+<section>
+<title>Unicode-aware modules</title>
+<p>Most of the modules in Erlang/OTP are of course Unicode-unaware in the sense that they have no notion of Unicode and really shouldn't have. Typically they handle non-textual or byte-oriented data (like <c>gen_tcp</c> etc).</p>
+<p>Modules that actually handle textual data (like <c>io_lib</c>, <c>string</c> etc) are sometimes subject to conversion or extension to be able to handle Unicode characters.</p>
+<p>Fortunately, most textual data has been stored in lists and range checking has been sparse, why modules like <c>string</c> works well for Unicode lists with little need for conversion or extension.</p>
+<p>Some modules are however changed to be explicitly Unicode-aware. These modules include:</p>
+<taglist>
+<tag><c>unicode</c></tag>
+<item>
+<p>The module <seealso marker="stdlib:unicode">unicode</seealso> is obviously Unicode-aware. It contains functions for conversion between different Unicode formats as well as some utilities for identifying byte order marks. Few programs handling Unicode data will survive without this module.</p>
+</item>
+<tag><c>io</c></tag>
+<item>
+<p>The <seealso marker="stdlib:io">io</seealso> module has been extended along with the actual I/O-protocol to handle Unicode data. This means that several functions require binaries to be in UTF-8 and there are modifiers to formatting control sequences to allow for outputting of Unicode strings.</p>
+</item>
+<tag><c>file</c>, <c>group</c> and <c>user</c></tag>
+<item>
+<p>I/O-servers throughout the system are able both to handle Unicode data and has options for converting data upon actual output or input to/from the device. As shown earlier, the <seealso marker="stdlib:shell">shell</seealso> has support for Unicode terminals and the <seealso marker="kernel:file">file</seealso> module allows for translation to and from various Unicode formats on disk.</p>
+<p>The actual reading and writing of files with Unicode data is however not best done with the <c>file</c> module as it's interface is byte oriented. A file opened with a Unicode encoding (like UTF-8), is then best read or written using the <seealso marker="stdlib:io">io</seealso> module.</p>
+</item>
+<tag><c>re</c></tag>
+<item>
+<p>The <seealso marker="stdlib:re">re</seealso> module allows for matching Unicode strings as a special option. As the library is actually centered on matching in binaries, the Unicode support is UTF-8-centered.</p>
+</item>
+<tag><c>wx</c></tag>
+<item>
+<p>The <seealso marker="wx:wx">wx</seealso> graphical library has extensive support for Unicode text</p>
+</item>
+</taglist>
+<p>The module <seealso marker="stdlib:string">string</seealso> works perfect for Unicode strings as well as for ISO-latin-1 strings with the exception of the language-dependent <seealso marker="stdlib:string#to_upper/1">to_upper</seealso> and <seealso marker="stdlib:string#to_lower/1">to_lower</seealso> functions, which are only correct for the ISO-latin-1 character set. Actually they can never function correctly for Unicode characters in their current form, there are language and locale issues as well as multi-character mappings to consider when conversion text between cases. Converting case in an international environment is a big subject not yet addressed in OTP.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Unicode recipes</title>
+<p>When starting with Unicode, one often stumbles over some common issues. I try to outline some methods of dealing with Unicode data in this section.</p>
+<section>
+<title>Byte order marks</title>
+<p>A common method of identifying encoding in text-files is to put a byte order mark (BOM) first in the file. The BOM is the codepoint 16#FEFF encoded in the same way as the rest of the file. If such a file is to be read, the first few bytes (depending on encoding) is not part of the actual text. This code outlines how to open a file which is believed to have a BOM and set the files encoding and position for further sequential reading (preferably using the <seealso marker="stdlib:io">io</seealso> module). Note that error handling is omitted from the code:</p>
+<code>
+open_bom_file_for_reading(File) -&gt;
+ {ok,F} = file:open(File,[read,binary]),
+ {ok,Bin} = file:read(F,4),
+ {Type,Bytes} = unicode:bom_to_encoding(Bin),
+ file:position(F,Bytes),
+ io:setopts(F,[{encoding,Type}]),
+ {ok,F}.
+</code>
+<p>The <c>unicode:bom_to_encoding/1</c> function identifies the encoding from a binary of at least four bytes. It returns, along with an term suitable for setting the encoding of the file, the actual length of the BOM, so that the file position can be set accordingly. Note that <c>file:position</c> always works on byte-offsets, so that the actual byte-length of the BOM is needed.</p>
+<p>To open a file for writing and putting the BOM first is even simpler:</p>
+<code>
+open_bom_file_for_writing(File,Encoding) -&gt;
+ {ok,F} = file:open(File,[write,binary]),
+ ok = file:write(File,unicode:encoding_to_bom(Encoding)),
+ io:setopts(F,[{encoding,Encoding}]),
+ {ok,F}.
+</code>
+<p>In both cases the file is then best processed using the <c>io</c> module, as the functions in <c>io</c> can handle codepoints beyond the ISO-latin-1 range.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Formatted input and output</title>
+<p>When reading and writing to Unicode-aware entities, like the User or a file opened for Unicode translation, you will probably want to format text strings using the functions in <seealso marker="stdlib:io">io</seealso> or <seealso marker="stdlib:io_lib">io_lib</seealso>. For backward compatibility reasons, these functions don't accept just any list as a string, but require e special "translation modifier" when working with Unicode texts. The modifier is "t". When applied to the "s" control character in a formatting string, it accepts all Unicode codepoints and expect binaries to be in UTF-8:</p>
+<pre>
+1> <input>io:format("~ts~n",[&lt;&lt;"���"/utf8&gt;&gt;]).</input>
+���
+ok
+2> <input>io:format("~s~n",[&lt;&lt;"���"/utf8&gt;&gt;]).</input>
+åäö
+ok</pre>
+<p>Obviously the second <c>io:format</c> gives undesired output because the UTF-8 binary is not in latin1. Because ISO-latin-1 is still the defined character set of Erlang, the non prefixed "s" control character expects ISO-latin-1 in binaries as well as lists.</p>
+<p>As long as the data is always lists, the "t" modifier can be used for any string, but when binary data is involved, care must be taken to make the tight choice of formatting characters.</p>
+<p>The function <c>format</c> in <c>io_lib</c> behaves similarly. This function is defined to return a deep list of characters and the output could easily be converted to binary data for outputting on a device of any kind by a simple <c>erlang:list_to_binary</c>. When the translation modifier is used, the list can however contain characters that cannot be stored in one byte. The call to <c>erlang:list_to_binary</c> will in that case fail. However, if the io_server you want to communicate with is Unicode-aware, the list returned can still be used directly:</p>
+<image file="ushell3.gif"><icaption>io_lib:format with Unicode translation</icaption></image>
+<p>The Unicode string is returned as a Unicode list, why the return value of <c>io_lib:format</c> no longer qualifies as a regular Erlang string (the function <seealso marker="stdlib:io_lib#deep_char_list/1">io_lib:deep_char_list</seealso> will, as an example, return <c>false</c>). The Unicode list is however valid input to the <seealso marker="stdlib:io#put_chars/2">io:put_chars</seealso> function, so data can be output on any Unicode capable device anyway. If the device is a terminal, characters will be output in the \x{H ...} format if encoding is <c>latin1</c> otherwise in UTF-8 (for the non-interactive terminal - "oldshell" or "noshell") or whatever is suitable to show the character properly (for an interactive terminal - the regular shell). The bottom line is that you can always send Unicode data to the <c>standard_io</c> device. Files will however only accept Unicode codepoints beyond ISO-latin-1 if <c>encoding</c> is set to something else than <c>latin1</c>.</p>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Heuristic identification of UTF-8</title>
+<p>While it's strongly encouraged that the actual encoding of characters in binary data is known prior to processing, that is not always possible. On a typical Linux&reg; system, there is a mix of UTF-8 and ISO-latin-1 text files and there are seldom any BOM's in the files to identify them.</p>
+<p>UTF-8 is designed in such a way that ISO-latin-1 characters with numbers beyond the 7-bit ASCII range are seldom considered valid when decoded as UTF-8. Therefore one can usually use heuristics to determine if a file is in UTF-8 or if it is encoded in ISO-latin-1 (one byte per character) encoding. The <c>unicode</c> module can be used to determine if data can be interpreted as UTF-8:</p>
+<code>
+heuristic_encoding_bin(Bin) when is_binary(Bin) -&gt;
+ case unicode:characters_to_binary(Bin,utf8,utf8) of
+ Bin ->
+ utf8;
+ _ ->
+ latin1
+ end.
+</code>
+<p>If one does not have a complete binary of the file content, one could instead chunk through the file and check part by part. The return-tuple <c>{incomplete,Decoded,Rest}</c> from <c>unicode:characters_to_binary/{1,2,3}</c> comes in handy. The incomplete rest from one chunk of data read from the file is prepended to the next chunk and we therefore circumvent the problem of character boundaries when reading chunks of bytes in UTF-8 encoding:</p>
+<code>

+ <modulesummary>win32reg provides access to the registry on Windows</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p><c>win32reg</c> provides read and write access to the
+ registry on Windows. It is essentially a port driver wrapped around the
+ Win32 API calls for accessing the registry.</p>
+ <p>The registry is a hierarchical database, used to store various system
+ and software information in Windows. It is available in Windows 95 and
+ Windows NT. It contains installation data, and is updated by installers
+ and system programs. The Erlang installer updates the registry by adding
+ data that Erlang needs.</p>
+ <p>The registry contains keys and values. Keys are like the directories
+ in a file system, they form a hierarchy. Values are like files, they have
+ a name and a value, and also a type.</p>
+ <p>Paths to keys are left to right, with sub-keys to the right and backslash
+ between keys. (Remember that backslashes must be doubled in Erlang strings.)
+ Case is preserved but not significant.
+ Example: <c>"\\\\hkey_local_machine\\\\software\\\\Ericsson\\\\Erlang\\\\5.0"</c> is the key
+ for the installation data for the latest Erlang release.</p>
+ <p>There are six entry points in the Windows registry, top level keys. They can be
+ abbreviated in the <c>win32reg</c> module as:</p>
+ <pre>
+Abbrev. Registry key
+======= ============
+hkcr HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
+current_user HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+hkcu HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+local_machine HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+hklm HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+users HKEY_USERS
+hku HKEY_USERS
+current_config HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
+hkcc HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
+dyn_data HKEY_DYN_DATA
+hkdd HKEY_DYN_DATA</pre>
+ <p>The key above could be written as <c>"\\\\hklm\\\\software\\\\ericsson\\\\erlang\\\\5.0"</c>.</p>
+ <p>The <c>win32reg</c> module uses a current key. It works much like the
+ current directory. From the current key, values can be fetched, sub-keys
+ can be listed, and so on.</p>
+ <p>Under a key, any number of named values can be stored. They have name, and
+ types, and data.</p>
+ <p>Currently, the <c>win32reg</c> module supports storing only the following
+ types: REG_DWORD, which is an
+ integer, REG_SZ which is a string and REG_BINARY which is a binary.
+ Other types can be read, and will be returned as binaries.</p>
+ <p>There is also a "default" value, which has the empty string as name. It is read and
+ written with the atom <c>default</c> instead of the name.</p>
+ <p>Some registry values are stored as strings with references to environment variables,
+ e.g. <c>"%SystemRoot%Windows"</c>. <c>SystemRoot</c> is an environment variable, and should be
+ replaced with its value. A function <c>expand/1</c> is provided, so that environment
+ variables surrounded in % can be expanded to their values.</p>
+ <p>For additional information on the Windows registry consult the Win32
+ Programmer's Reference.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>zip</c> module archives and extract files to and from a zip
+ archive. The zip format is specified by the "ZIP Appnote.txt" file
+ available on PKWare's website www.pkware.com.</p>
+ <p>The zip module supports zip archive versions up to 6.1. However,
+ password-protection and Zip64 is not supported.</p>
+ <p>By convention, the name of a zip file should end in "<c>.zip</c>".
+ To abide to the convention, you'll need to add "<c>.zip</c>" yourself
+ to the name.</p>
+ <p>Zip archives are created with the
+ <seealso marker="#zip_2">zip/2</seealso> or the
+ <seealso marker="#zip_2">zip/3</seealso> function. (They are
+ also available as <c>create</c>, to resemble the <c>erl_tar</c>
+ module.)</p>
+ <p>To extract files from a zip archive, use the
+ <seealso marker="#unzip_1">unzip/1</seealso> or the
+ <seealso marker="#unzip_2">unzip/2</seealso> function. (They are
+ also available as <c>extract</c>.)</p>
+ <p>To return a list of the files in a zip archive, use the
+ <seealso marker="#list_dir_1">list_dir/1</seealso> or the
+ <seealso marker="#list_dir_2">list_dir/2</seealso> function. (They
+ are also available as <c>table</c>.)</p>
+ <p>To print a list of files to the Erlang shell,
+ use either the <seealso marker="#t_1">t/1</seealso> or
+ <seealso marker="#tt_1">tt/1</seealso> function.</p>
+ <p>In some cases, it is desirable to open a zip archive, and to
+ unzip files from it file by file, without having to reopen the
+ archive. The functions
+ <seealso marker="#zip_open">zip_open</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#zip_get">zip_get</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#zip_list_dir">zip_list_dir</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#zip_close">zip_close</seealso> do this.</p>

+ <p>The <marker id="zip_2"></marker><c>zip</c> function creates a
+ zip archive containing the files specified in <c>FileList</c>.</p>
+ <p>As synonyms, the functions <c>create/2</c> and <c>create/3</c>
+ are provided, to make it resemble the <c>erl_tar</c> module.</p>
+ <p>The file-list is a list of files, with paths relative to the
+ current directory, they will be stored with this path in the
+ archive. Files may also be specified with data in binaries,
+ to create an archive directly from data.</p>
+ <p>Files will be compressed using the DEFLATE compression, as
+ described in the Appnote.txt file. However, files will be
+ stored without compression if they already are compressed.
+ The <c>zip/2</c> and <c>zip/3</c> checks the file extension
+ to see whether the file should be stored without compression.
+ Files with the following extensions are not compressed:
+ <c>.Z</c>, <c>.zip</c>, <c>.zoo</c>, <c>.arc</c>, <c>.lzh</c>,
+ <c>.arj</c>.</p>
+ <p>It is possible to override the default behavior and
+ explicitly control what types of files that should be
+ compressed by using the <c>{compress, What}</c> and
+ <c>{uncompress, What}</c> options. It is possible to have
+ several <c>compress</c> and <c>uncompress</c> options. In
+ order to trigger compression of a file, its extension must
+ match with the
+ <c>compress</c> condition and must not match the
+ <c>uncompress</c> condition. For example if <c>compress</c> is
+ set to <c>["gif", "jpg"]</c> and <c>uncompress</c> is set to
+ <c>["jpg"]</c>, only files with <c>"gif"</c> as extension will
+ be compressed. No other files will be compressed.</p>
+ <p>The following options are available:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>cooked</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>By default, the <c>open/2</c> function will open the
+ zip file in <c>raw</c> mode, which is faster but does not allow
+ a remote (erlang) file server to be used. Adding <c>cooked</c>
+ to the mode list will override the default and open the zip file
