29 CFDictionary implements a container which pairs pointer-sized keys
30 with pointer-sized values. Values are accessed via arbitrary
31 user-defined keys. A CFDictionary differs from a CFArray in that
32 the key used to access a particular value in the dictionary remains
33 the same as values are added to or removed from the dictionary,
34 unless a value associated with its particular key is replaced or
35 removed. In a CFArray, the key (or index) used to retrieve a
36 particular value can change over time as values are added to or
37 deleted from the array. Also unlike an array, there is no ordering
38 among values in a dictionary. To enable later retrieval of a value,
39 the key of the key-value pair should be constant (or treated as
40 constant); if the key changes after being used to put a value in
41 the dictionary, the value may not be retrievable. The keys of a
42 dictionary form a set; that is, no two keys which are equal to
43 one another are present in the dictionary at any time.
45 Dictionaries come in two flavors, immutable, which cannot have
46 values added to them or removed from them after the dictionary is
47 created, and mutable, to which you can add values or from which
48 remove values. Mutable dictionaries can have an unlimited number
49 of values (or rather, limited only by constraints external to
50 CFDictionary, like the amount of available memory).
52 As with all CoreFoundation collection types, dictionaries maintain
53 hard references on the values you put in them, but the retaining and
54 releasing functions are user-defined callbacks that can actually do
55 whatever the user wants (for example, nothing).
57 Although a particular implementation of CFDictionary may not use
58 hashing and a hash table for storage of the values, the keys have
59 a hash-code generating function defined for them, and a function
60 to test for equality of two keys. These two functions together
61 must maintain the invariant that if equal(X, Y), then hash(X) ==
62 hash(Y). Note that the converse will not generally be true (but
63 the contrapositive, if hash(X) != hash(Y), then !equal(X, Y),
64 will be as required by Boolean logic). If the hash() and equal()
65 key callbacks are NULL, the key is used as a pointer-sized integer,
66 and pointer equality is used. Care should be taken to provide a
67 hash() callback which will compute sufficiently dispersed hash
68 codes for the key set for best performance.
70 Computational Complexity
71 The access time for a value in the dictionary is guaranteed to be at
72 worst O(N) for any implementation, current and future, but will
73 often be O(1) (constant time). Insertion or deletion operations
74 will typically be constant time as well, but are O(N*N) in the
75 worst case in some implementations. Access of values through a key
76 is faster than accessing values directly (if there are any such
77 operations). Dictionaries will tend to use significantly more memory
78 than a array with the same number of values.

222 parameter may be NULL in which case the current default
223 CFAllocator is used. If this reference is not a valid
224 CFAllocator, the behavior is undefined.
225 @param keys A C array of the pointer-sized keys to be used for
226 the parallel C array of values to be put into the dictionary.
227 This parameter may be NULL if the numValues parameter is 0.
228 This C array is not changed or freed by this function. If
229 this parameter is not a valid pointer to a C array of at
230 least numValues pointers, the behavior is undefined.
231 @param values A C array of the pointer-sized values to be in the
232 dictionary. This parameter may be NULL if the numValues
233 parameter is 0. This C array is not changed or freed by
234 this function. If this parameter is not a valid pointer to
235 a C array of at least numValues pointers, the behavior is
237 @param numValues The number of values to copy from the keys and
238 values C arrays into the CFDictionary. This number will be
239 the count of the dictionary. If this parameter is
240 negative, or greater than the number of values actually
241 in the keys or values C arrays, the behavior is undefined.
242 @param keyCallBacks A pointer to a CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks structure
243 initialized with the callbacks for the dictionary to use on
244 each key in the dictionary. The retain callback will be used
245 within this function, for example, to retain all of the new
246 keys from the keys C array. A copy of the contents of the
247 callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure
248 on the stack can be passed in, or can be reused for multiple
249 dictionary creations. If the version field of this
250 callbacks structure is not one of the defined ones for
251 CFDictionary, the behavior is undefined. The retain field may
252 be NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing to add
253 a retain to the keys of the contained values. The release field
254 may be NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing
255 to remove the dictionary's retain (if any) on the keys when the
256 dictionary is destroyed or a key-value pair is removed. If the
257 copyDescription field is NULL, the dictionary will create a
258 simple description for a key. If the equal field is NULL, the
259 dictionary will use pointer equality to test for equality of
260 keys. If the hash field is NULL, a key will be converted from
261 a pointer to an integer to compute the hash code. This callbacks
262 parameter itself may be NULL, which is treated as if a valid
263 structure of version 0 with all fields NULL had been passed in.
264 Otherwise, if any of the fields are not valid pointers to
265 functions of the correct type, or this parameter is not a
266 valid pointer to a CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks callbacks structure,
267 the behavior is undefined. If any of the keys put into the
268 dictionary is not one understood by one of the callback functions
269 the behavior when that callback function is used is undefined.
270 @param valueCallBacks A pointer to a CFDictionaryValueCallBacks structure
271 initialized with the callbacks for the dictionary to use on
272 each value in the dictionary. The retain callback will be used
273 within this function, for example, to retain all of the new
274 values from the values C array. A copy of the contents of the
275 callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure
276 on the stack can be passed in, or can be reused for multiple
277 dictionary creations. If the version field of this callbacks
278 structure is not one of the defined ones for CFDictionary, the
279 behavior is undefined. The retain field may be NULL, in which
280 case the CFDictionary will do nothing to add a retain to values
281 as they are put into the dictionary. The release field may be
282 NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing to remove
283 the dictionary's retain (if any) on the values when the
284 dictionary is destroyed or a key-value pair is removed. If the
285 copyDescription field is NULL, the dictionary will create a
286 simple description for a value. If the equal field is NULL, the
287 dictionary will use pointer equality to test for equality of
288 values. This callbacks parameter itself may be NULL, which is
289 treated as if a valid structure of version 0 with all fields
290 NULL had been passed in. Otherwise,
291 if any of the fields are not valid pointers to functions
292 of the correct type, or this parameter is not a valid
293 pointer to a CFDictionaryValueCallBacks callbacks structure,
294 the behavior is undefined. If any of the values put into the

333 CFAllocator, the behavior is undefined.
334 @param capacity A hint about the number of values that will be held
335 by the CFDictionary. Pass 0 for no hint. The implementation may
336 ignore this hint, or may use it to optimize various
337 operations. A dictionary's actual capacity is only limited by
338 address space and available memory constraints). If this
339 parameter is negative, the behavior is undefined.

344 on the stack can be passed in, or can be reused for multiple
345 dictionary creations. If the version field of this
346 callbacks structure is not one of the defined ones for
347 CFDictionary, the behavior is undefined. The retain field may
348 be NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing to add
349 a retain to the keys of the contained values. The release field
350 may be NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing
351 to remove the dictionary's retain (if any) on the keys when the
352 dictionary is destroyed or a key-value pair is removed. If the
353 copyDescription field is NULL, the dictionary will create a
354 simple description for a key. If the equal field is NULL, the
355 dictionary will use pointer equality to test for equality of
356 keys. If the hash field is NULL, a key will be converted from
357 a pointer to an integer to compute the hash code. This callbacks
358 parameter itself may be NULL, which is treated as if a valid
359 structure of version 0 with all fields NULL had been passed in.
360 Otherwise, if any of the fields are not valid pointers to
361 functions of the correct type, or this parameter is not a
362 valid pointer to a CFDictionaryKeyCallBacks callbacks structure,
363 the behavior is undefined. If any of the keys put into the
364 dictionary is not one understood by one of the callback functions
365 the behavior when that callback function is used is undefined.
366 @param valueCallBacks A pointer to a CFDictionaryValueCallBacks structure
367 initialized with the callbacks for the dictionary to use on
368 each value in the dictionary. The retain callback will be used
369 within this function, for example, to retain all of the new
370 values from the values C array. A copy of the contents of the
371 callbacks structure is made, so that a pointer to a structure
372 on the stack can be passed in, or can be reused for multiple
373 dictionary creations. If the version field of this callbacks
374 structure is not one of the defined ones for CFDictionary, the
375 behavior is undefined. The retain field may be NULL, in which
376 case the CFDictionary will do nothing to add a retain to values
377 as they are put into the dictionary. The release field may be
378 NULL, in which case the CFDictionary will do nothing to remove
379 the dictionary's retain (if any) on the values when the
380 dictionary is destroyed or a key-value pair is removed. If the
381 copyDescription field is NULL, the dictionary will create a
382 simple description for a value. If the equal field is NULL, the
383 dictionary will use pointer equality to test for equality of
384 values. This callbacks parameter itself may be NULL, which is

559 Fills the two buffers with the keys and values from the dictionary.
560 @param theDict The dictionary to be queried. If this parameter is
561 not a valid CFDictionary, the behavior is undefined.
562 @param keys A C array of pointer-sized values to be filled with keys
563 from the dictionary. The keys and values C arrays are parallel
564 to each other (that is, the items at the same indices form a
565 key-value pair from the dictionary). This parameter may be NULL
566 if the keys are not desired. If this parameter is not a valid
567 pointer to a C array of at least CFDictionaryGetCount() pointers,
568 or NULL, the behavior is undefined.
569 @param values A C array of pointer-sized values to be filled with values
570 from the dictionary. The keys and values C arrays are parallel
571 to each other (that is, the items at the same indices form a
572 key-value pair from the dictionary). This parameter may be NULL
573 if the values are not desired. If this parameter is not a valid

581 @function CFDictionaryApplyFunction
582 Calls a function once for each value in the dictionary.
583 @param theDict The dictionary to be queried. If this parameter is
584 not a valid CFDictionary, the behavior is undefined.
585 @param applier The callback function to call once for each value in
586 the dictionary. If this parameter is not a
587 pointer to a function of the correct prototype, the behavior
588 is undefined. If there are keys or values which the
589 applier function does not expect or cannot properly apply
590 to, the behavior is undefined.
591 @param context A pointer-sized user-defined value, which is passed
592 as the third parameter to the applier function, but is
593 otherwise unused by this function. If the context is not
594 what is expected by the applier function, the behavior is

601 @function CFDictionaryAddValue
602 Adds the key-value pair to the dictionary if no such key already exists.
603 @param theDict The dictionary to which the value is to be added. If this
604 parameter is not a valid mutable CFDictionary, the behavior is
606 @param key The key of the value to add to the dictionary. The key is
607 retained by the dictionary using the retain callback provided
608 when the dictionary was created. If the key is not of the sort
609 expected by the retain callback, the behavior is undefined. If
610 a key which matches this key is already present in the dictionary,
611 this function does nothing ("add if absent").
612 @param value The value to add to the dictionary. The value is retained
613 by the dictionary using the retain callback provided when the
614 dictionary was created. If the value is not of the sort expected
615 by the retain callback, the behavior is undefined.

621 @function CFDictionarySetValue
622 Sets the value of the key in the dictionary.
623 @param theDict The dictionary to which the value is to be set. If this
624 parameter is not a valid mutable CFDictionary, the behavior is
626 @param key The key of the value to set into the dictionary. If a key
627 which matches this key is already present in the dictionary, only
628 the value is changed ("add if absent, replace if present"). If
629 no key matches the given key, the key-value pair is added to the
630 dictionary. If added, the key is retained by the dictionary,
631 using the retain callback provided
632 when the dictionary was created. If the key is not of the sort
633 expected by the key retain callback, the behavior is undefined.
634 @param value The value to add to or replace into the dictionary. The value
635 is retained by the dictionary using the retain callback provided
636 when the dictionary was created, and the previous value if any is
637 released. If the value is not of the sort expected by the
638 retain or release callbacks, the behavior is undefined.

644 @function CFDictionaryReplaceValue
645 Replaces the value of the key in the dictionary.
646 @param theDict The dictionary to which the value is to be replaced. If this
647 parameter is not a valid mutable CFDictionary, the behavior is
649 @param key The key of the value to replace in the dictionary. If a key
650 which matches this key is present in the dictionary, the value
651 is changed to the given value, otherwise this function does
652 nothing ("replace if present").
653 @param value The value to replace into the dictionary. The value
654 is retained by the dictionary using the retain callback provided
655 when the dictionary was created, and the previous value is
656 released. If the value is not of the sort expected by the
657 retain or release callbacks, the behavior is undefined.

664 Removes the value of the key from the dictionary.
665 @param theDict The dictionary from which the value is to be removed. If this
666 parameter is not a valid mutable CFDictionary, the behavior is
668 @param key The key of the value to remove from the dictionary. If a key
669 which matches this key is present in the dictionary, the key-value
670 pair is removed from the dictionary, otherwise this function does
671 nothing ("remove if present").

677 @function CFDictionaryRemoveAllValues
678 Removes all the values from the dictionary, making it empty.

680 removed. If this parameter is not a valid mutable
681 CFDictionary, the behavior is undefined.
