Structure xmlDict struct _xmlDict {
The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
} Function: xmlDictCleanupvoid	xmlDictCleanup			(void) 
 Free the dictionary mutex. Do not call unless sure the library is not in use anymore ! 
Function: xmlDictCreatexmlDictPtr	xmlDictCreate		(void) 
 Create a new dictionary 
| Returns: | the newly created dictionary, or NULL if an error occured. |  
 Function: xmlDictCreateSubxmlDictPtr	xmlDictCreateSub	(xmlDictPtr sub) 
 Create a new dictionary, inheriting strings from the read-only dictionary @sub. On lookup, strings are first searched in the new dictionary, then in @sub, and if not found are created in the new dictionary. 
| sub: | an existing dictionary |  | Returns: | the newly created dictionary, or NULL if an error occured. |  
 Function: xmlDictExistsconst xmlChar *	xmlDictExists		(xmlDictPtr dict,  					 const xmlChar * name,  					 int len) 
 Check if the @name exists in the dictionary @dict. 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | name: | the name of the userdata |  | len: | the length of the name, if -1 it is recomputed |  | Returns: | the internal copy of the name or NULL if not found. |  
 Function: xmlDictFreevoid	xmlDictFree			(xmlDictPtr dict) 
 Free the hash @dict and its contents. The userdata is deallocated with @f if provided. 
Function: xmlDictGetUsagesize_t	xmlDictGetUsage			(xmlDictPtr dict) 
 Get how much memory is used by a dictionary for strings Added in 2.9.0 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | Returns: | the amount of strings allocated |  
 Function: xmlDictLookupconst xmlChar *	xmlDictLookup		(xmlDictPtr dict,  					 const xmlChar * name,  					 int len) 
 Add the @name to the dictionary @dict if not present. 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | name: | the name of the userdata |  | len: | the length of the name, if -1 it is recomputed |  | Returns: | the internal copy of the name or NULL in case of internal error |  
 Function: xmlDictOwnsint	xmlDictOwns			(xmlDictPtr dict,  					 const xmlChar * str) 
 check if a string is owned by the disctionary 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | str: | the string |  | Returns: | 1 if true, 0 if false and -1 in case of error -1 in case of error |  
 Function: xmlDictQLookupconst xmlChar *	xmlDictQLookup		(xmlDictPtr dict,  					 const xmlChar * prefix,  					 const xmlChar * name) 
 Add the QName @prefix:@name to the hash @dict if not present. 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | prefix: | the prefix |  | name: | the name |  | Returns: | the internal copy of the QName or NULL in case of internal error |  
 Function: xmlDictReferenceint	xmlDictReference		(xmlDictPtr dict) 
 Increment the reference counter of a dictionary 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | Returns: | 0 in case of success and -1 in case of error |  
 Function: xmlDictSetLimitsize_t	xmlDictSetLimit			(xmlDictPtr dict,  					 size_t limit) 
 Set a size limit for the dictionary Added in 2.9.0 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | limit: | the limit in bytes |  | Returns: | the previous limit of the dictionary or 0 |  
 Function: xmlDictSizeint	xmlDictSize			(xmlDictPtr dict) 
 Query the number of elements installed in the hash @dict. 
| dict: | the dictionary |  | Returns: | the number of elements in the dictionary or -1 in case of error |  
 Function: xmlInitializeDictint	xmlInitializeDict		(void) 
 Do the dictionary mutex initialization. this function is deprecated 
| Returns: | 0 if initialization was already done, and 1 if that call led to the initialization |
