GS1 Syntax Dictionary: Linter reference
A reference to the AI component linter routines referred to by the GS1 Syntax Dictionary.
lint_mediatype.c File Reference

Purpose

The mediatype linter ensures that the data represents a valid AIDC media type.

Remarks
The two-digit AIDC media type codes are defined in the GS1 General Specifications table "AIDC media type values".

Functional Description

◆ gs1_lint_mediatype()

GS1_SYNTAX_DICTIONARY_API gs1_lint_err_t gs1_lint_mediatype ( const char *const  data,
size_t *const  err_pos,
size_t *const  err_len 
)

Used to validate that an AI component is a valid AIDC media type.

Note
The default lookup function provided by this linter is a binary search over a static list this is maintained in this file.
To enable this linter to hook into an alternative AIDC media type lookup function (provided by the user) the GS1_LINTER_CUSTOM_MEDIA_TYPE_LOOKUP_H macro may be set to the name of a header file to be included that defines a custom GS1_LINTER_CUSTOM_MEDIA_TYPE_LOOKUP macro.
If provided, the GS1_LINTER_CUSTOM_MEDIA_TYPE_LOOKUP macro shall invoke whatever functionality is available in the user-provided lookup function, then using the result must assign to a locally-scoped variable as follows:
  • valid: Set to 1 if the lookup was successful. Otherwise 0.
Parameters
[in]dataPointer to the null-terminated data to be linted. Must not be NULL.
[out]err_posTo facilitate error highlighting, the start position of the bad data is written to this pointer, if not NULL.
[out]err_lenThe length of the bad data is written to this pointer, if not NULL.
Returns
GS1_LINTER_OK if okay.
GS1_LINTER_INVALID_MEDIA_TYPE if the data is not a num-3 country code.
