+=head1 NAME
+
+dbfp_query_loation - get a list of stations matching a string from the DB
+timetable API
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <dbfp.h>
+
+ int dbfp_query_location(struct dbfp *dbfp, char *input, size_t *n,
+ struct dbfp_location **locations);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<dbfp_query_location> queries a list of locations matching the query string
+I<input> from the DB timetable API using the connection metadata stored in
+I<dbfp>. The number of results is stored in I<n>. The results are stored in
+I<locations>. The memory for the I<locations> is allocated by the function.
+The stored array contains exactly I<n> elements, and is not NULL terminated.
+
+I<dbfp>, I<input>, I<n> and I<locations> must not be NULL. I<dbfp> must have
+been initialized with I<dbfp_init>. The elements in I<locations> should be
+closed with I<dbfp_location_close>. I<locations> should be freed by the
+caller.
+
+If the query fails, the values of I<n> and I<locations> are set to 0 and NULL
+respectively.
+
+The B<dbfp_location> structure is defined as:
+
+ struct dbfp_location {
+ char *name;
+ char *id;
+ float lon;
+ float lat;
+ };
+
+I<name> is the name of the station. I<id> is the DB id of the station. It
+seems to be an integer, but this is not guaranteed. I<lon> and I<lat> are the
+coordinates of the station.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUE
+
+B<dbfp_query_location> returns zero if successful, or a non-zero error code.
+Positive error codes are from I<errno.h>, negative error codes are specific
+to dbfp.
+
+=head1 ERRORS
+
+=over
+
+=item EINVAL
+
+if I<dbfp>, I<input>, I<n> or I<locations> is NULL
+
+=item ENOMEM
+
+if there is not enough memory to store the results of the query
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_CURL
+
+if an error occured during the preparation or execution of the network request
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_FORMAT
+
+if an error occurs during the formatting of the URL
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_PARSE
+
+if an error occurs during the parsing of the XML response
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_STRUCTURE
+
+if the API response has not the expected structure
