If you want to encode * data that can be represented as a C string style (NUL terminated), you can * simply use this way. * * If the input data contains Kanji (Shift-JIS) characters and you want to * encode them as Kanji in QR Code, you should give QR_MODE_KANJI as a hint. * Otherwise, all of non-alphanumeric characters are encoded as 8 bit data. * If you want to encode a whole string in 8 bit mode, use * QRcode_encodeString8bit() instead. * * Please note that a C string can not contain NUL character. If your data * contains NUL, you should chose the second way. * * \subsection encoding-input Encoding a structured data * You can construct a structured input data manually. If the structure of the * input data is known, you can use this way. * At first, create a ::QRinput object by QRinput_new(). Then add input data * to the QRinput object by QRinput_append(). Finally call QRcode_encodeInput() * to encode the QRinput data. * You can reuse the QRinput data again to encode it in other symbols with * different parameters. * * \section result Result * The encoded symbol is resulted as a ::QRcode object. It will contain * its version number, width of the symbol and an array represents the symbol. * See ::QRcode for the details. You can free the object by QRcode_free(). * * Please note that the version of the result may be larger than specified. * In such cases, the input data would be too large to be encoded in a * symbol of the specified version. * * \section structured Structured append * Libqrencode can generate "Structured-appended" symbols that enables to split * a large data set into mulitple QR codes. A QR code reader concatenates * multiple QR code symbols into a string. * Just like QRcode_encodeString(), you can use QRcode_encodeStringStructured() * to generate structured-appended symbols. This functions returns an instance * of ::QRcode_List. The returned list is a singly-linked list of QRcode: you * can retrieve each QR code in this way: * * \code * QRcode_List *qrcodes; * QRcode_List *entry; * QRcode *qrcode; * * qrcodes = QRcode_encodeStringStructured(...); * entry = qrcodes; * while(entry != NULL) { * qrcode = entry->code; * // do something * entry = entry->next; * } * QRcode_List_free(entry); * \endcode * * Instead of using auto-parsing functions, you can construct your own * structured input. At first, instantiate an object of ::QRinput_Struct * by calling QRinput_Struct_new(). This object can hold multiple ::QRinput, * and one QR code is generated for a ::QRinput. * QRinput_Struct_appendInput() appends a ::QRinput to a ::QRinput_Struct * object. In order to generate structured-appended symbols, it is required to * embed headers to each symbol. You can use * QRinput_Struct_insertStructuredAppendHeaders() to insert appropriate * headers to each symbol. You should call this function just once before * encoding symbols. */ #ifndef __QRENCODE_H__ #define __QRENCODE_H__ #if defined(__cplusplus) extern "C" { #endif /** * Encoding mode. */ typedef enum { QR_MODE_NUL = -1, ///< Terminator (NUL character).
