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 + +=back + +=head1 EXAMPLE + + #include <dbfp.h> + #include <stdio.h> + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <string.h> + + int main(int argc, char **argv) + { + int err = 0; + struct dbfp dbfp; + struct dbfp_location *locations = NULL; + size_t n = 0; + size_t i; + + err = dbfp_init(&dbfp, "API key"); + if (err) + goto cleanup; + err = dbfp_query_location(&dbfp, "Freibu", &n, &locations); + if (err) + goto cleanup; + + printf("Number of matches: %zu\n", n); + for (i = 0; i < n; i++) + printf("%s: %s (%.2f, %.2f)", locations[i].id, + locations[i].name, locations[i].lon, + locations[i].lat); + + cleanup: + if (err) + printf("An error occured: %s\n", strerror(err)); + for (i = 0; i < n; i++) + dbfp_location_close(&locations[i]); + free(locations); + dbfp_close(&dbfp); + + return err ?
