|
|
The utilities provided by "liblink" contain functions to

* Get internal links from arbitraty entries
|
|
* Access an "EntryHeader" object to
|
|
* get internal links
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Linking internal content with liblink {#sec:liblink:internal}
|
|
|
|
As one entry MAY contain zero or more interal links in the header section
|
|
"imag.links", the "liblink" library provides functionality to
|
|
|
|
* get the link from an EntryHeader object
|
|
* set the links in a EntryHeader object
|
|
* query for a specific link in a EntryHeader object
|
|
* by regex
|
|
* by module name
|
|
* by filename
|
|
|
|
as well as functionality to get "Entry" objects for each entry in the Header.
|
|
|
|
## Linking external content with liblink {#sec:liblink:external}
|
|
|
|
As one "EntryHeader" MUST NOT contain more than one link to external content (as
|
|
defined in @sec:thestore:linking:external, the following scheme for linking to
|
|
external content MUST BE provided by "liblink":
|
|
|
|
* Generate a "link" entry in the store
|
|
* with store path starting with "/link/"
|
|
* where the header field "imag.content.uri" MUST BE set
|
|
* with optional content which can be stored in the section of the "liblink"
|
|
module section (section name "link", as defined by
|
|
@sec:thestore:fileformat:header:module).
|
|
* Get an external link by store path (looking up the store path entry and
|
|
getting the link to the external content from it)
