## Description

### Macro: BASE_BUFFER_SIZE

    #define BASE_BUFFER_SIZE

default buffer size 4000.

### Macro: LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER

    #define LIBXML2_NEW_BUFFER

Macro used to express that the API use the new buffers for xmlParserInputBuffer and xmlOutputBuffer. The change was introduced in 2.9.0.

### Macro: XML_GET_CONTENT

    #define XML_GET_CONTENT

Macro to extract the content pointer of a node.

### Macro: XML_GET_LINE

    #define XML_GET_LINE

Macro to extract the line number of an element node.

### Macro: XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_LOCAL_NAMESPACE

A namespace declaration node.

### Macro: XML_XML_ID

    #define XML_XML_ID

This is the name for the special xml:id attribute

### Macro: XML_XML_NAMESPACE

    #define XML_XML_NAMESPACE

This is the namespace for the special xml: prefix predefined in the XML Namespace specification.

### Macro: xmlChildrenNode

    #define xmlChildrenNode

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children."

### Macro: xmlRootNode

    #define xmlRootNode

Macro for compatibility naming layer with libxml1. Maps to "children".

### Structure xmlAttr

    Structure xmlAttr
    struct _xmlAttr {
        void *	_private	: application data

### Function: xmlAddChild

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddChild		(xmlNodePtr parent,

Add a new node to @parent, at the end of the child (or property) list merging adjacent TEXT nodes (in which case @cur is freed) If the new node is ATTRIBUTE, it is added into properties instead of children. If there is an attribute with equal name, it is first destroyed.

`parent`: | the parent node
`cur`: | the child node
`Returns`: | the child or NULL in case of error.

### Function: xmlAddChildList

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddChildList		(xmlNodePtr parent,
    					 xmlNodePtr cur)

Add a list of node at the end of the child list of the parent merging adjacent TEXT nodes (@cur may be freed)

`parent`: | the parent node
`cur`: | the first node in the list
`Returns`: | the last child or NULL in case of error.

### Function: xmlAddNextSibling

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddNextSibling	(xmlNodePtr cur,
    					 xmlNodePtr elem)

Add a new node @elem as the next sibling of @cur If the new node was already inserted in a document it is first unlinked from its existing context. As a result of text merging @elem may be freed. If the new node is ATTRIBUTE, it is added into properties instead of children. If there is an attribute with equal name, it is first destroyed.

`cur`: | the child node
`elem`: | the new node
`Returns`: | the new node or NULL in case of error.

### Function: xmlAddPrevSibling

    xmlNodePtr	xmlAddPrevSibling	(xmlNodePtr cur,
    					 xmlNodePtr elem)

Add a new node @elem as the previous sibling of @cur merging adjacent TEXT nodes (@elem may be freed) If the new node was already inserted in a document it is first unlinked from its existing context. If the new node is ATTRIBUTE, it is added into properties instead of children. If there is an attribute with equal name, it is first destroyed.

### Function: xmlStringGetNodeList

    xmlNodePtr	xmlStringGetNodeList	(const xmlDoc * doc,
    					 const xmlChar * value)

`first`: | the first text node
`second`: | the second text node being merged
`Returns`: | the first text node augmented

### Function: xmlUnlinkNode

    void	xmlUnlinkNode			(xmlNodePtr cur)

Unlink a node from it's current context, the node is not freed If one need to free the node, use xmlFreeNode() routine after the unlink to discard it. Note that namespace nodes can't be unlinked as they do not have pointer to their parent.

`cur`: | the node

### Function: xmlUnsetNsProp

    int	xmlUnsetNsProp			(xmlNodePtr node,
    					 xmlNsPtr ns,
    					 const xmlChar * name)

Remove an attribute carried by a node.

`node`: | the node
`ns`: | the namespace definition
