Numeric types

Return codes

enum cowl_ret

Return codes for API calls that can fail.

Note

Error codes are guaranteed to evaluate to true in boolean expressions.

Values:

enumerator COWL_OK: Success.

enumerator COWL_ERR: Failure with unspecified error.

enumerator COWL_ERR_IO: Input/output error, usually returned when a file or stream operation fails.

Note

When this happens, errno is sometimes set to a more meaningful value.

enumerator COWL_ERR_MEM: Memory error, usually caused by failed allocations.

enumerator COWL_ERR_SYNTAX: Syntax error.

enumerator COWL_ERR_IMPORT: Import error.

enumerator COWL_RET_COUNT: Number of enum values.

enumerator COWL_RET_FIRST: First enum value.

cowl_ret cowl_ret_from_ustream(ustream_ret ret)

Converts ustream_ret into cowl_ret .

Parameters:

ret – Return code.

Returns:

Return value.

cowl_ret cowl_ret_from_uvec(uvec_ret ret)

Converts uvec_ret into cowl_ret .

Parameters:

ret – Return code.

Returns:

Return value.

cowl_ret cowl_ret_from_uhash(uhash_ret ret)

Converts uhash_ret into cowl_ret .

Parameters:

ret – Return code.

Returns:

Return value.

UString cowl_ret_to_ustring(cowl_ret ret)

Returns a human-readable string representation of the specified return value.

Note

You must not modify or free the returned string.

Parameters:

ret – Return value.

Returns:

String representation, or NULL on error.

CowlString *cowl_ret_to_string(cowl_ret ret)

Returns a human-readable string representation of the specified return value.

Note

You must release the returned object via cowl_release().

Parameters:

ret – Return value.

Returns:

String representation, or NULL on error.

Flags

These types represent groups of boolean options.

Iteration over primitives

typedef UBit_N CowlPrimitiveFlags: Flags to control iteration over primitives.

COWL_PF_NONE: Iterate over no primitives.

COWL_PF_ALL: Iterate over all primitives.

COWL_PF_CLASS: Iterate over classes.

COWL_PF_OBJ_PROP: Iterate over object properties.

COWL_PF_DATA_PROP: Iterate over data properties.

COWL_PF_ANNOT_PROP: Iterate over annotation properties.

COWL_PF_NAMED_IND: Iterate over named individuals.

COWL_PF_ANON_IND: Iterate over anonymous individuals.

COWL_PF_DATATYPE: Iterate over datatypes.

COWL_PF_IRI: Iterate over IRIs.

COWL_PF_ENTITY: Iterate over entities.

CowlPrimitiveFlags cowl_primitive_flags_from_type(CowlPrimitiveType type)

Returns a bitmask with a bit set for the specified primitive type.

Parameters:

type – Primitive type.

Returns:

Flags.

bool cowl_primitive_flags_has_type(CowlPrimitiveFlags flags, CowlPrimitiveType type)

Checks whether the specified type is included in the flags.

Parameters:

flags – Primitive flags.
type – Primitive type.

Returns:

True if the type is included in the flags, false otherwise.

Construct position

typedef UBit_N CowlPosition: Position of a component in an OWL construct.

COWL_PS_NONE: No position.

COWL_PS_LEFT: Left position.

COWL_PS_RIGHT: Right position.

COWL_PS_MIDDLE: Middle position.

COWL_PS_ANY: Any position.

COWL_PS_SUBJECT: Subject position in assertion axioms.

COWL_PS_PREDICATE: Predicate position in assertion axioms.

COWL_PS_OBJECT: Object position in assertion axioms.
