ESTNODE(3) Hyper Estraier ESTNODE(3) NAME estnode.h - the node API of Hyper Estraier SYNOPSIS #include <estraier.h> #include <estnode.h> #include <cabin.h> #include <stdlib.h> API FOR INITIALIZING For preparation to use the node API, initialize the network environment at the beginning of a program. Moreover, the environment should be freed at the end of the program. The function `est_init_net_env' is used in order to initialize the network- ing environment. int est_init_net_env(void); The return value is true if success, else it is false. As it is al- lowable to call this function multiple times, it is needed to call the function `est_free_net_env' at the same frequency. The function `est_free_net_env' is used in order to free the networking en- vironment. void est_free_net_env(void); There is no parameter and no return value. API FOR NODES The type of the structure `ESTNODE' is for abstraction of connection to a node. A node has its own URL. No entity of `ESTNODE' is accessed di- rectly, but it is accessed by the pointer. The term of node connection ob- ject means the pointer and its referent. A node connection object is cre- ated by the function `est_node_new' and destroyed by `est_node_delete'. Every created node connection object should be destroyed. The function `est_node_new' is used in order to create a node connection object. ESTNODE *est_node_new(const char *url); `url' specifies the URL of a node. The return value is a node con- nection object. The function `est_node_delete' is used in order to destroy a node connec- tion object. void est_node_delete(ESTNODE *node); `node' specifies a node connection object. The function `est_node_set_proxy' is used in order to set the proxy infor- mation of a node connection object. void est_node_set_proxy(ESTNODE *node, const char *host, int port); `node' specifies a node connection object. `host' specifies the host name of a proxy server. `port' specifies the port number of the proxy server. The function `est_node_set_timeout' is used in order to set timeout of a connection. void est_node_set_timeout(ESTNODE *node, int sec); `node' specifies a node connection object. `sec' specifies timeout of the connection in seconds.

The function `est_node_status' is used in order to get the status code of the last request of a node. int est_node_status(ESTNODE *node); `node' specifies a node connection object. The return value is the status code of the last request of the node. -1 means failure of connection. The function `est_node_sync' is used in order to synchronize updating con- tents of the database of a node. int est_node_sync(ESTNODE *node); `node' specifies a node connection object. The return value is true if success, else it is false.

The return value is true if success, else it is false. The function `est_node_put_doc' is used in order to add a document to a node. int est_node_put_doc(ESTNODE *node, ESTDOC *doc); `node' specifies a node connection object. `doc' specifies a docu- ment object. The document object should have the URI attribute. The return value is true if success, else it is false. If the URI attribute is same with an existing document in the node, the exist- ing one is deleted. The function `est_node_out_doc' is used in order to remove a document from a node. int est_node_out_doc(ESTNODE *node, int id); `node' specifies a node connection object. `id' specifies the ID number of a registered document. The return value is true if suc- cess, else it is false. The function `est_node_out_doc_by_uri' is used in order to remove a docu- ment specified by URI from a node. int est_node_out_doc_by_uri(ESTNODE *node, const char *uri); `node' specifies a node connection object. `uri' specifies the URI of a registered document. The return value is true if success, else it is false. The function `est_node_edit_doc' is used in order to edit attributes of a document in a node. int est_node_edit_doc(ESTNODE *node, ESTDOC *doc); `node' specifies a node connection object. `doc' specifies a docu- ment object. The return value is true if success, else it is false. The ID can not be changed. If the URI is changed and it overlaps the URI of another registered document, this function fails. The function `est_node_get_doc' is used in order to retrieve a document in a node. ESTDOC *est_node_get_doc(ESTNODE *node, int id); `node' specifies a node connection object. `id' specifies the ID number of a registered document. The return value is a document ob- ject. It should be deleted with `est_doc_delete' if it is no longer in use. On error, `NULL' is returned.

The return value is the value of the attribute or `NULL' if it does not exist. Because the region of the return value is al- located with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. The function `est_node_get_doc_attr_by_uri' is used in order to retrieve the value of an attribute of a document specified by URI in a node. char *est_node_get_doc_attr_by_uri(ESTNODE *node, const char *uri, const char *name); `node' specifies a node connection object. `uri' specifies the URI of a registered document. `name' specifies the name of an at- tribute. The return value is the value of the attribute or `NULL' if it does not exist. Because the region of the return value is al- located with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call if it is no longer in use. The function `est_node_etch_doc' is used in order to extract keywords of a document. CBMAP *est_node_etch_doc(ESTNODE *node, int id); `node' specifies a node connection object. `id' specifies the ID number of a registered document. The return value is a new map ob- ject of keywords and their scores in decimal string or `NULL' on er- ror.

API FOR SEARCH RESULTS OF NODES The type of the structure `ESTNODERES' is for abstraction of search result from a node. A result is composed of a list of corresponding documents and information of hints. No entity of `ESTNODERES' is accessed directly, but it is accessed by the pointer. The term of node result object means the pointer and its referent. A node result object is created by the function `est_node_search' and destroyed by `est_noderes_delete'. Every created node connection object should be destroyed. The type of the structure `ESTRESDOC' is for abstraction of a document in search result. A result document is composed of some attributes and a snippet. No entity of `ESTRESDOC' is accessed directly, but it is accessed by the pointer. The term of result document object means the pointer and its referent. A result document object is gotten by the function `est_noderes_get_doc' but it should not be destroyed because the entity is managed inside the node result object. The function `est_noderes_delete' is used in order to delete a node result object. void est_noderes_delete(ESTNODERES *nres); `nres' specifies a node result object. The function `est_noderes_hints' is used in order to get a map object for hints of a node result object. CBMAP *est_noderes_hints(ESTNODERES *nres); `nres' specifies a node result object. The return value is a map object for hints. Keys of the map are "VERSION", "NODE", "HIT", "HINT#n", "DOCNUM", "WORDNUM", "TIME", "TIME#n", "LINK#n", and "VIEW". The life duration of the returned object is synchronous with the one of the node result object. The function `est_noderes_eclipse' is used in order to eclipse similar doc- uments of a node result object. void est_noderes_eclipse(ESTNODERES *nres, int num, double limit); `nres' specifies a node result object. `num' specifies the number of documents to be shown. If it is not more than 0, eclipse is un- done. `limit' specifies the lower limit of similarity for documents to be eclipsed. Similarity is between 0.0 and 1.0. The function `est_noderes_doc_num' is used in order to get the number of documents in a node result object. int est_noderes_doc_num(ESTNODERES *nres); `nres' specifies a node result object. The return value is the num- ber of documents in a node result object. The function `est_noderes_get_doc' is used in order to refer a result docu- ment object in a node result object.

The function `est_resdoc_uri' is used in order to get the URI of a result document object. const char *est_resdoc_uri(ESTRESDOC *rdoc); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. The return value is the URI of the result document object. The life duration of the re- turned string is synchronous with the one of the result document ob- ject. The function `est_resdoc_attr_names' is used in order to get a list of at- tribute names of a result document object. CBLIST *est_resdoc_attr_names(ESTRESDOC *rdoc); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. The return value is a new list object of attribute names of the result document object. Because the object of the return value is opened with the function `cblistopen', it should be closed with the function `cblistclose' if it is no longer in use. The function `est_resdoc_attr' is used in order to get the value of an at- tribute of a result document object. const char *est_resdoc_attr(ESTRESDOC *rdoc, const char *name); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. `name' specifies the name of an attribute. The return value is the value of the at- tribute or `NULL' if it does not exist. The life duration of the returned string is synchronous with the one of the result document object. The function `est_resdoc_snippet' is used in order to get the snippet of a result document object. const char *est_resdoc_snippet(ESTRESDOC *rdoc); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. The return value is a string of the snippet of the result document object. There are tab separated values. Each line is a string to be shown. Though most lines have only one field, some lines have two fields. If the sec- ond field exists, the first field is to be shown with highlighted, and the second field means its normalized form. The life duration of the returned string is synchronous with the one of the result document object. The function `est_resdoc_keywords' is used in order to get keywords of a result document object. const char *est_resdoc_keywords(ESTRESDOC *rdoc); `rdoc' specifies a result document object.

ESTRESDOC **est_resdoc_shadows(ESTRESDOC *rdoc, int *np); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. `np' specifies the pointer to a variable to which the number of elements of the return value is assigned. The return value is an array of eclipsed result document objects. The life duration of the returned array and its elements is synchronous with the one of the result document object. The function `est_resdoc_similarity' is used in order to get similarity of an eclipsed result document object. double est_resdoc_similarity(ESTRESDOC *rdoc); `rdoc' specifies a result document object. The return value is sim- ilarity of the result document object to the front document or -1.0 if it is not eclipsed. PARALLELING Each of node connection objects, node result objects, and result document objects can not be shared by threads. If you use multi threads, make each thread have its own objects. If the precondition is kept, functions of the node API can be treated as thread-safe functions. AUTHOR Hyper Estraier is written by Mikio Hirabayashi.
