## Description

## Details

### struct xmlURI

    struct xmlURI {
        char *scheme;	/* the URI scheme */
        char *opaque;	/* opaque part */
        char *authority;	/* the authority part */
        char *server;	/* the server part */
        char *user;		/* the user part */
        int port;		/* the port number */
        char *path;		/* the path string */
        char *query;	/* the query string */
        char *fragment;	/* the fragment identifier */
        int  cleanup;	/* parsing potentially unclean URI */
    };

A parsed URI reference. This is a struct containing the various fields as described in RFC 2396 but separated for further processing.

### xmlURIPtr

    typedef xmlURI *xmlURIPtr;

### xmlCreateURI ()

    xmlURIPtr   xmlCreateURI                    (void);

Simply creates an empty xmlURI

Returns : | the new structure or NULL in case of error

### xmlBuildURI ()

    xmlChar*    xmlBuildURI                     (const xmlChar *URI,
                                                 const xmlChar *base);

Computes he final URI of the reference done by checking that the given URI is valid, and building the final URI using the base URI. This is processed according to section 5.2 of the RFC 2396

5.2. Resolving Relative References to Absolute Form

`URI` : | the URI instance found in the document
`base` : | the base value
Returns : | a new URI string (to be freed by the caller) or NULL in case of error.

### xmlParseURI ()

    xmlURIPtr   xmlParseURI                     (const char *str);

Parse an URI

URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]

`str` : | the URI string to analyze
Returns : | a newly build xmlURIPtr or NULL in case of error

### xmlParseURIReference ()

    int         xmlParseURIReference            (xmlURIPtr uri,
                                                 const char *str);

Parse an URI reference string and fills in the appropriate fields of the `uri` structure

URI-reference = [ absoluteURI | relativeURI ] [ "#" fragment ]

`uri` : | pointer to an URI structure
`str` : | the string to analyze
Returns : | 0 or the error code

### xmlSaveUri ()

    xmlChar*    xmlSaveUri                      (xmlURIPtr uri);

Save the URI as an escaped string

`uri` : | pointer to an xmlURI
Returns : | a new string (to be deallocated by caller)

### xmlPrintURI ()

    void        xmlPrintURI                     (FILE *stream,
                                                 xmlURIPtr uri);

Prints the URI in the stream `steam`.

`stream` : | a FILE* for the output
`uri` : | pointer to an xmlURI

### xmlURIEscapeStr ()

    xmlChar*    xmlURIEscapeStr                 (const xmlChar *str,
                                                 const xmlChar *list);

This routine escapes a string to hex, ignoring reserved characters (a-z) and the characters in the exception list.

`str` : | string to escape
`list` : | exception list string of chars not to escape
Returns : | a new escaped string or NULL in case of error.

### xmlURIUnescapeString ()

    char*       xmlURIUnescapeString            (const char *str,
                                                 int len,
                                                 char *target);

Unescaping routine, does not do validity checks ! Output is direct unsigned char translation of `XX` values (no encoding)

`str` : | the string to unescape
`len` : | the length in bytes to unescape (or <= 0 to indicate full string)
`target` : | optional destination buffer
Returns : | an copy of the string, but unescaped

### xmlNormalizeURIPath ()

    int         xmlNormalizeURIPath             (char *path);

Applies the 5 normalization steps to a path string--that is, RFC 2396 Section 5.2, steps 6.c through 6.g.

Normalization occurs directly on the string, no new allocation is done

`path` : | pointer to the path string
Returns : | 0 or an error code

### xmlURIEscape ()

    xmlChar*    xmlURIEscape                    (const xmlChar *str);

Escaping routine, does not do validity checks ! It will try to escape the chars needing this, but this is heuristic based it's impossible to be sure.

`str` : | the string of the URI to escape
Returns : | an copy of the string, but escaped 25 May 2001 Uses xmlParseURI and xmlURIEscapeStr to try to escape correctly according to RFC2396. - Carl Douglas

### xmlFreeURI ()

    void        xmlFreeURI                      (xmlURIPtr uri);

Free up the xmlURI struct

`uri` : | pointer to an xmlURI
