\section{Prototypes and descriptions of {\tt ChvList} methods}
\label{section:ChvList:proto}
\par
This section contains brief descriptions including prototypes
of all methods that belong to the {\tt ChvList} object.
\par
\subsection{Basic methods}
\label{subsection:ChvList:proto:basics}
\par
As usual, there are four basic methods to support object creation,
setting default fields, clearing any allocated data, and free'ing
the object.
\par
%=======================================================================
\begin{enumerate}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
ChvList * ChvList_new ( void ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_new@{\tt ChvList\_new()}}
This method simply allocates storage
for the {\tt ChvList} structure
and then sets the default fields by a call to
{\tt ChvList\_setDefaultFields()}.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_setDefaultFields ( ChvList *list ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_setDefaultFields@{\tt ChvList\_setDefaultFields()}}
The structure's fields are set to default values:
{\tt nlist} and {\tt nlocks} set to zero,
and {\tt heads}, {\tt counts}, {\tt lock} and {\tt flags}
are set to {\tt NULL} .
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
an error message is printed and the program exits.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_clearData ( ChvList *list ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_clearData@{\tt ChvList\_clearData()}}
This method clears the object and free's any owned data
by calling {\tt Chv\_free()} for each object on the free
list.
If {\tt heads} is not {\tt NULL}, it is free'd.
If {\tt counts} is not {\tt NULL},
it is free'd via a call to {\tt IVfree()}.
If {\tt flags} is not {\tt NULL},
it is free'd via a call to {\tt CVfree()}.
If the lock is not {\tt NULL}, it is destroyed via a call to
{\tt Lock\_free()}.
There is a concluding call to
{\tt ChvList\_setDefaultFields()}.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
an error message is printed and the program exits.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_free ( ChvList *list ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_free@{\tt ChvList\_free()}}
This method releases any storage by a call to
{\tt ChvList\_clearData()}
and then free the space for {\tt list}.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
an error message is printed and the program exits.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{enumerate}
\par
\subsection{Initialization methods}
\label{subsection:ChvList:proto:initial}
\par
There are three initializer methods.
\par
%=======================================================================
\begin{enumerate}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_init( ChvList *list, int nlist, int counts[],
int lockflag, char flags[] ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_init@{\tt ChvList\_init()}}
Any data is cleared via a call to
{\tt ChvList\_clearData()}.
The number of lists is set and the {\tt heads[]} vector is
initialized.
If {\tt counts} is not {\tt NULL}, the object's {\tt counts[]}
vector is allocated and filled with the incoming entries.
If {\tt lockflag} is zero, the lock is not initialized.
If {\tt lockflag} is {\tt 1}, the lock is initialized
to be able to synchronize threads with the calling process.
If {\tt lockflag} is {\tt 2}, the lock is initialized
to be able to synchronize threads across processes.
If {\tt flags} is not {\tt NULL}, the object's {\tt flags[]}
vector is allocated and filled with the incoming entries.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
or if ${\tt nlist} \le 0$,
or if {\tt lockflag} is not in {\tt [0,2]},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{enumerate}
\par
\subsection{Utility methods}
\label{subsection:ChvList:proto:utility}
\par
%=======================================================================
\begin{enumerate}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
int ChvList_isListNonempty ( ChvList *list, int ilist ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_isListNonempty@{\tt ChvList\_isListNonempty()}}
\par
If list {\tt ilist} is empty, the method returns 0.
Otherwise, the method returns 1.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
or if {\tt ilist} is not in the range {\tt [0,nlist)},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
int ChvList_isCountZero ( ChvList *list, int ilist ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_isCountZero@{\tt ChvList\_isCountZero()}}
\par
If {\tt counts} is {\tt NULL},
or if {\tt counts[ilist]} equal to zero, the method returns 1.
Otherwise, the method returns 0.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
or if {\tt ilist} is not in the range {\tt [0,nlist)},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
Chv * ChvList_getList ( ChvList *list, int ilist ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_getList@{\tt ChvList\_getList()}}
\par
If list {\tt ilist} is empty, the method returns {\tt NULL}.
Otherwise, if the list needs to be locked, the lock is locked.
The head of the list is saved to a pointer and then the head is set
to {\tt NULL}.
If the list was locked, the number of locks is incremented and the
lock unlocked.
The saved pointer is returned.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
or if {\tt ilist} is not in the range {\tt [0,nlist)},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_addObjectToList ( ChvList *list, Chv *chv, int ilist ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_addObjectToList@{\tt ChvList\_addObjectToList()}}
\par
If the list needs to be locked, the lock is locked.
If {\tt chv} is not {\tt NULL}, it is added to the head of the list.
If {\tt counts} is not {\tt NULL}, then {\tt counts[ilist]} is
decremented.
If the lock was locked, the number of locks is incremented
and it is now unlocked.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} is {\tt NULL},
or if {\tt ilist} is not in the range {\tt [0,nlist)},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{enumerate}
\par
\subsection{IO methods}
\label{subsection:ChvList:proto:IO}
\par
%=======================================================================
\begin{enumerate}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\item
\begin{verbatim}
void ChvList_writeForHumanEye ( ChvList *list, FILE *fp ) ;
\end{verbatim}
\index{ChvList_writeForHumanEye@{\tt ChvList\_writeForHumanEye()}}
\par
This method writes the list to a file in user readable form.
\par \noindent {\it Error checking:}
If {\tt list} or {\tt fp} are {\tt NULL},
an error message is printed and zero is returned.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\end{enumerate}
