  xsink | if the given region is not found or valid or any error occur finding or loading the given region, exception info is stored here and the function returns 0

Returns
  the time zone region found or 0 if the timezone is UTC (also in case of an exception 0 is returned - check xsink after calling)

## get_full_type_name()

DLLEXPORT const char* get_full_type_name | ( | const AbstractQoreNode * | n | ) |

returns a string type description of the full type of the value contained (ex: `"nothing"` for a null AbstractQoreNode pointer); differs from the return value of get_type_name() for complex types (ex: `"hash<string, int>"`)

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## get_or_nothing_type_check()

DLLEXPORT const QoreTypeInfo* get_or_nothing_type_check | ( | const QoreTypeInfo * | typeInfo | ) |

returns the "or nothing" type for the given type

Since
  Qore 0.9

## parse_option_bitfield_to_string_list()

DLLEXPORT QoreListNode* parse_option_bitfield_to_string_list | ( | int64 | i,
|  | ExceptionSink * | xsink
| ) |  |

returns a list<string> of parse option strings for the given bitfield; a Qore-language exception is raised for invalid values

Since
  Qore 0.9

## parse_set_time_zone()

DLLEXPORT void parse_set_time_zone | ( | const char * | zone | ) |

to set the time zone from the command line

Note
  this function can only be called when a program exists

## q_env_subst()

DLLEXPORT int q_env_subst | ( | QoreString & | str | ) |

performs environment variable substitution on the string argument

return 0 for OK, -1 if an error occurred (mismatched parens, etc)

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## q_get_thread_local_vars()

DLLEXPORT QoreHashNode* q_get_thread_local_vars | ( | int | frame,
|  | ExceptionSink * | xsink
| ) |  |

retrieves a hash of all thread local variables and their values for the given stack frame in the current thread's QoreProgram object

Parameters

  frame | the stack frame starting from 0 (the current frame)
  xsink | for Qore-language exceptions

Returns
  a hash of local variables and their values; if the frame does not exist, an empty hash is returned; if a Qore-language exception is thrown, then nullptr is returned

Note
  the current thread must be a valid Qore thread with a current QoreProgram context or the results are undefined (i.e. expect a crash)

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## q_gname2gid()

int q_gname2gid | ( | const char * | name,
|  | gid_t & | gid
| ) |  |

thread-safe way to lookup a gid from a group name

Parameters

  name | the group to look up
  gid | the gid returned

Returns
  0 for no error, non-zero is an error code like errno

## q_libqore_exiting()

DLLEXPORT bool q_libqore_exiting | ( |  | ) |

returns true if the Qore library is exiting without a shutdown

Since
  Qore 0.9.5

## q_libqore_initalized()

DLLEXPORT bool q_libqore_initalized | ( |  | ) |

returns true if the Qore library has been initialized

Since
  Qore 0.9.5

## q_libqore_shutdown()

DLLEXPORT bool q_libqore_shutdown | ( |  | ) |

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## q_memrmem()

DLLEXPORT void* q_memrmem | ( | const void * | big,
|  | size_t | big_len,
|  | const void * | little,
|  | size_t | little_len
| ) |  |

finds a memory sequence in a larger memory sequence searching from the end of the sequence

Note
  returns `void*` for compatibility with memmem() and q_memmem() signatures

Since
  Qore 0.9.1

## q_set_thread_var_value()

DLLEXPORT int q_set_thread_var_value | ( | int | frame,
|  | const char * | name,
|  | const QoreValue & | val,
|  | ExceptionSink * | xsink
| ) |  |

sets the value of the given thread-local variable (which may be a closure-bound variable as well) in the current stack frame for the current thread's QoreProgram object

Parameters

  frame | the stack frame where 0 is the current (highest) stack frame
  name | the name of the variable
  val | the value to assign; the value will be referenced for the assignment if one is made
  xsink | for Qore-language exceptions

Returns
  0 = OK or -1 = a Qore-language exception occurred making the assignment (ex: incompatible types) or 1 = variable not found or inaccessible stack frame (no exception thrown)

Note
  pure local variables (i.e. not closure bound and not subject to the reference operator) are not stored with type information at runtime; type information is only enforced at parse / compile time, therefore it's possible to set local variables with invalid values that contradict their declarations with this function

|  | std::string | opt

## qore_reassign_signal()

DLLEXPORT QoreStringNode* qore_reassign_signal | ( | int | sig,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

allows a module to take over ownership of a signal

Parameters

  sig | signal number
  name | module name taking ownership of managing the signal

Returns
  nullptr for OK, non-zero for failed (error message); in case a QoreStringNode pointer is returned, the caller must dereference it

See also
  - qore_reassign_signals() to allocate multiple signals to a module atomically
  - qore_release_signal() to release a signal allocation manually
  - qore_release_signals() to release multiple signal allocations manually

## qore_reassign_signals()

DLLEXPORT QoreStringNode* qore_reassign_signals | ( | const sig_vec_t & | sig_vec,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

allows a module to take over ownership of multiple signals atomically

Parameters

  sig_vec | a vector of signal numbers to allocate to the module
  name | module name taking ownership of managing the signal

Returns
  nullptr for OK (all signals were allocated to the module), non-zero for failed (error message; no signals were allocated); in case a QoreStringNode pointer is returned, the caller must dereference it

Note
  if any signal cannot be allocated to the module, no signals are allocated to the module; the call either succeeds for all or fails for all; no partial failures are possible; use this variant when allocating multiple signals to a module

| ) |  |

releases the signal allocated to the given module

Parameters

  sig | the signal number allocated to the module
  name | module name owning the signal

Returns
  0 = signal allocation released, -1 = no changes were made (module does not manage signal)

See also
