NAME
       unibi_format, unibi_run - interpret a terminfo format string

SYNOPSIS
	 #include <unibilium.h>

	 void unibi_format(
	     unibi_var_t var_dyn[26],
	     unibi_var_t var_static[26],
	     const char	*fmt,
	     unibi_var_t param[9],
	     void (*out)(void *, const char *, size_t),
	     void *ctx1,
	     void (*pad)(void *, size_t, int, int),
	     void *ctx2
	 );

	 size_t	unibi_run(const	char *fmt, unibi_var_t param[9], char *p, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       "unibi_format" takes a format string fmt	and executes it. All output is
       done by (possibly repeated) calls to out. In the	calls to out the first
       argument	is always ctx1,	the second argument is a pointer to a chunk of
       data, and the third argument is a count specifying the size of the
       chunk in	bytes.

       pad is used when	the format string contains "$<...>" padding
       instructions. In	the calls to pad the first argument is always ctx2,
       the second argument is the delay	in tenths of milliseconds, the third
       argument	is a boolean flag indicating whether "*" (proportional delay)
       was specified in	the format string, and the fourth argument is a
       boolean flag indicating whether "/" (forced padding) was	specified in
       the format string. Thus a format	string of "$<5/>" would	translate into
       "pad(ctx2, 50, 0, 1)". You may pass a null pointer for pad; in that
       case padding instructions are silently skipped.

       The values of param are used for	the format codes %p1 ..	%p9; the
       values of var_dyn and var_static	are used for the so-called
       dynamic/static variables	%Pa .. %Pz and %PA .. %PZ, respectively.

       "unibi_run" is a	wrapper	around "unibi_format". It passes two arrays
       (each initialized to 26 zeroes) as var_dyn and var_static. fmt and
       param are passed	on unchanged. It ignores padding and places all	normal
       output in the buffer pointed to by p. n is the size of the buffer; at
       most n bytes will be written to p.

RETURN VALUE
       "unibi_run" returns the number of bytes that would have been written if
       the buffer was big enough. Thus the number of valid bytes in p after a
       call to "unibi_run" is the minimum of n and the return value of
       "unibi_run".
