Erlang NIF bindings

This binding provides the possibility to access Elektra from Erlang.

Dependencies

In order to compile the NIF you need to have Erlang installed.

Module name

The module name of the NIF module is Elixir.Elektra.System.

Naming

All function names have been converted from camel case to snake case. For instance, ksNew is available under the name ks_new.

Differences to the C API and limitations

Due to the limitations of NIFs the signatures of the functions have not been translated faithfully and some functions are currently not implemented at all.

Different arguments

  • keyNew takes a single argument which must be a valid key name
  • ksNew takes a single argument which is the number of keys for which to pre-allocate memory

Not implemented

  • keyVNew
  • keyGetString
  • keyGetBaseName
  • ksVNew
