Detailed Description

Schema metadata for config file options.

This module provides declarative metadata for all configurable options that can appear in TOML configuration files. The schema drives the generic config parser, eliminating duplicate validation code.

Note

This is separate from builder.h's option_descriptor_t which is for CLI parsing. This schema is specifically for TOML config files.

Typedef Documentation

builder_validate_fn_t

typedef bool(* builder_validate_fn_t) (const void *options_struct, char **error_msg)

Validation function from options builder.

This is the same validation function signature used by the options builder. It receives the full options struct and can perform cross-field validation.

Parameters

options_struct	Full options struct (cast to void* for generic use)
error_msg	Output: error message (allocated by validator, caller frees)

Returns

true if valid, false if invalid

Definition at line 41 of file schema.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

option_context_t

enum option_context_t

Context where an option can appear.

Enumerator
OPTION_CONTEXT_CLI	CLI-only option (cannot appear in config)
OPTION_CONTEXT_CONFIG	Config-only option (never on CLI)
OPTION_CONTEXT_BOTH	Can appear in both CLI and config.

Definition at line 25 of file schema.h.

  OPTION_CONTEXT_CLI,    
  OPTION_CONTEXT_CONFIG, 
  OPTION_CONTEXT_BOTH,   
} option_context_t;

Function Documentation

config_schema_build_from_configs()

asciichat_error_t config_schema_build_from_configs	(	const options_config_t **	configs,
		size_t	num_configs
	)

Build schema dynamically from options builder configs.

This function builds the config schema by merging all mode configs (server, client, mirror, etc.). It generates TOML keys, CLI flags, categories, and types from the builder's option descriptors.

Parameters

configs	Array of option configs (can contain NULL entries)
num_configs	Number of configs in the array

Returns

ASCIICHAT_OK on success, error code on failure

Note

This should be called once during initialization before any config parsing
