Short for "Asset Manager"

A simple standalone asset manager for games and such. Just copy assman.h and assman.c into your project and add it to your makefile or whatever it is you're using.

API:

• Typedefs

  • void *(*AssLoaderFn)(const char *path, void *data): This is the signature for the loader function you will have to provide AssMan_load(). You can wrap an existing library's load function.

  • void (*AssReleaseFn)(void *asset, void *data): This is the signature for the unloader function you will have to provide AssMan_load(). You can wrap an existing library's unload function.

• Functions

  • AssMan *AssMan_new(void): Constructs a pointer to a new Asset Manager.

  • void AssMan_free( AssMan *assman): Destructs an asset manager.

  • void AssMan_registerFiletype( AssMan *assman, const char *extension, AssLoaderFn loader, AssReleaseFn releaser): Register a file extension with loader and releaser to asset manager assman.

  • void *AssMan_load( AssMan *assman, const char *path, const char *key, void *load_data, void *release_data): Loads a file from disc if it's not allocated already, otherwise, just returns the currently allocated resource. It will load the file located at path using function loader with load_data as its second argument, and pass to the loaded Asset function releaser and release_data to use later when it needs to be unloaded from memory. key must be a unique string.

  • void AssMan_release( AssMan *assman, const char *key): Releases a resource by 'key'. If it's no longer in use anywhere else, it's freed from memory, otherwise, it decrements the refcount.

  • void AssMan_clear( AssMan *assman,): Clears the entire manager of all assets and registred file types.

  • void AssMan_clearAssets( AssMan *assman,): Clears the entire manager of all assets.

  • void AssMan_clearRegistry( AssMan *assman,): Clears the entire manager of all registered file types.
