dmi_decoder_initialize
Synopsis
#include <opendmi/decoder.h>
bool dmi_decoder_initialize(dmi_decoder_t *decoder, dmi_entity_t *entity);Description
A decoder reads the data of one structure into the values the model holds:
dmi_reader_t gives it the bytes, and the structure being decoded says what
they refer to, e.g. which string a number stands for. Neither knows of the
other, which is what the decoder brings together.
The dmi_decoder_initialize function sets the decoder up over entity. The
reader is set up over the body of the structure, positioned right after the
header, and reads the copy with additional information applied whenever
there is one.
The decoder holds no memory of its own, so there is nothing to destroy: the data belongs to the buffer of the structure.
