Sample

This example is taken from the sample parser file BipSampPluginParser.c:

/* Convert the attribute value into integration node form */
          data = CciNString((char *)startMarker, markedSize, pc->iCcsid);

/* Create a new name-value element for the attribute */
          newElement = cpiCreateElement(&rc, parser);
          cpiSetElementType(&rc, newElement, CCI_ELEMENT_TYPE_NAME_VALUE);
          cpiSetElementName(&rc, newElement, data);
          if (pc->trace) {
            const char * mbData = mbString(data, pc->iCcsid);
            fprintf(pc->tracefile, "PLUGIN: Created new NAMEVALUE element; 
                    object=0x%x type=0x%x name=",
                    newElement, CCI_ELEMENT_TYPE_NAME_VALUE);
            fprintf(pc->tracefile, "%s\n", mbData);
            fflush(pc->tracefile);
            free((void *)mbData);
          }
          /* Free the memory created in CciNString() */
          free((void *)data);

          /* Add the element */
          cpiAddAsLastChild(&rc, element, newElement);
