Eina Programming Guide
Eina provides data types and useful tools.
The Eina library implements an API for data types in an efficient way. It also
provides some useful tools, such as opening shared libraries, error
management, type conversion, time accounting, and memory pool.

Data Types
The Eina library is a central part of the EFL. It implements an API for
data types, and allows you to create and manipulate several data types.
-
Array: standard array of
void* data
-
Inline List: list with nodes inlined into the user type
Compact List
List: standard list of
void* data
-
Sparse Matrix: sparse matrix of void* data
Red-Black tree: red-black tree with nodes inlined into the user type
String Buffer: mutable string to prepend, insert, or append strings to a buffer
-
Tiler split: merges and navigates into 2D tiled regions
Trash: container of unused but allocated data
-
Data Model
API: container for data with a user-defined hierarchy or structure
Eina provides a number of tools, such as string manipulation, that make
your life easier when coding applications.
Convert fast: conversion from, for example, strings to integers and double
Counter: measures the number of calls and their time
Error: error identifiers
File: file list and path split
Lazy allocator: lazy allocator
Log: full-featured logging system
Magic: provides runtime type checking
-
Module lists: loads and shares modules using the Eina_Module standard
Rectangle: rectangle structure and standard manipulation methods
Safety Checks: extra checks that report unexpected conditions and can be disabled during compilation
String: set of functions that manage C strings
