Detailed Description

An az_span represents a contiguous byte buffer and is used for string manipulations, HTTP requests/responses, reading/writing JSON payloads, and more.

Note: You MUST NOT use any symbols (macros, functions, structures, enums, etc.) prefixed with an underscore ('_') directly in your application code. These symbols are part of Azure SDK's internal implementation; we do not document these symbols and they are subject to change in future versions of the SDK which would break your code.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ AZ_SPAN_EMPTY

#define AZ_SPAN_EMPTY

Value:

  (az_span)                                \
  {                                        \
    ._internal = {.ptr = NULL, .size = 0 } \
  }

An empty az_span.

Remarks: There is no guarantee that the pointer backing this span will be NULL and the caller shouldn't rely on it. However, the size will be 0.

◆ AZ_SPAN_FROM_BUFFER

#define AZ_SPAN_FROM_BUFFER ( BYTE_BUFFER )

Value:

az_span_create( \

(uint8_t*)BYTE_BUFFER, (sizeof(BYTE_BUFFER) / (_az_IS_BYTE_ARRAY(BYTE_BUFFER) ? 1 : 0)))

Returns an az_span expression over an uninitialized byte buffer.

For example:

uint8_t buffer[1024];

some_function(AZ_SPAN_FROM_BUFFER(buffer)); // Size = 1024

Remarks: BYTE_BUFFER MUST be an array defined like uint8_t buffer[10]; and not uint8_t* buffer

◆ AZ_SPAN_FROM_STR

#define AZ_SPAN_FROM_STR ( STRING_LITERAL ) (az_span) AZ_SPAN_LITERAL_FROM_STR(STRING_LITERAL)

Returns an az_span expression over a literal string.

For example:

some_function(AZ_SPAN_FROM_STR("Hello world"));

where

void some_function(const az_span span);

◆ AZ_SPAN_LITERAL_FROM_STR

#define AZ_SPAN_LITERAL_FROM_STR ( STRING_LITERAL )

Value:

  {                                                   \
    ._internal = {                                    \
      .ptr = (uint8_t*)STRING_LITERAL,                \
      .size = _az_STRING_LITERAL_LEN(STRING_LITERAL), \
    },                                                \
  }

Returns a literal az_span over a literal string. The size of the az_span is equal to the length of the string.

For example:

static const az_span hw = AZ_SPAN_LITERAL_FROM_STR("Hello world");

Remarks: An empty ("") literal string results in an az_span with size set to 0.

Typedef Documentation

◆ az_span_allocator_fn

typedef az_result(* az_span_allocator_fn) (az_span_allocator_context *allocator_context, az_span *out_next_destination)

Defines the signature of the callback function that the caller must implement to provide the potentially discontiguous destination buffers where output can be written into.

Parameters

[in]	allocator_context	A container of required and user-defined fields that provide the necessary information and parameters for the implementation of the callback.
[out]	out_next_destination	A pointer to an az_span that can be used as a destination to write data into, that is at least the required size specified within the `allocator_context`.

Returns: An az_result value indicating the result of the operation.

Return values

AZ_OK	Success.
other	Failure.

Remarks: The caller must no longer hold onto, use, or write to the previously provided az_span after this allocator returns a new destination az_span.; There is no guarantee that successive calls will return the same or same-sized buffer. This function must never return an empty az_span, unless the requested buffer size is not available. In which case, it must return an error az_result.; The caller must check the return value using az_result_failed() before continuing to use the out_next_destination.
