#include <avr/io.h> #include <avr/pgmspace.h>
The functions in this module provide interfaces for a program to access data stored in program space (flash memory) of the device. In order to use these functions, the target device must support either the LPM
or ELPM
instructions.
If you are working with strings which are completely based in ram, use the standard string functions described in <string.h>: Strings.
If possible, put your constant tables in the lower 64 KB and use pgm_read_byte_near() or pgm_read_word_near() instead of pgm_read_byte_far() or pgm_read_word_far() since it is more efficient that way, and you can still use the upper 64K for executable code. All functions that are suffixed with a _P
require their arguments to be in the lower 64 KB of the flash ROM, as they do not use ELPM instructions. This is normally not a big concern as the linker setup arranges any program space constants declared using the macros from this header file so they are placed right after the interrupt vectors, and in front of any executable code. However, it can become a problem if there are too many of these constants, or for bootloaders on devices with more than 64 KB of ROM. All these functions will not work in that situation.

PGM_VOID_P memchr_P | ( | PGM_VOID_P | s, | |
int | val, | |||
size_t | len | |||
) |
Scan flash memory for a character.
The memchr_P() function scans the first len
bytes of the flash memory area pointed to by s
for the character val
. The first byte to match val
(interpreted as an unsigned character) stops the operation.
NULL
if the character does not occur in the given memory area. int memcmp_P | ( | const void * | s1, | |
PGM_VOID_P | s2, | |||
size_t | len | |||
) |
Compare memory areas.
The memcmp_P() function compares the first len
bytes of the memory areas s1
and flash s2
. The comparision is performed using unsigned char operations.
len
bytes of s1
is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the first len
bytes of s2
. void * memcpy_P | ( | void * | dest, | |
PGM_VOID_P | src, | |||
size_t | n | |||
) |

size_t | len1, | |||
PGM_VOID_P | s2, | |||
size_t | len2 | |||
) |

is pointer to a string in program space.
PGM_VOID_P memrchr_P | ( | PGM_VOID_P | src, | |
int | val, | |||
size_t | len | |||
) |
The memrchr_P() function is like the memchr_P() function, except that it searches backwards from the end of the len
bytes pointed to by src
instead of forwards from the front. (Glibc, GNU extension.)
NULL
if the character does not occur in the given memory area. int strcasecmp_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2 | |||
) |
Compare two strings ignoring case.
The strcasecmp_P() function compares the two strings s1
and s2
, ignoring the case of the characters.
s1 | A pointer to a string in the devices SRAM. | |
s2 | A pointer to a string in the devices Flash. |
s1
is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2
. A consequence of the ordering used by strcasecmp_P() is that if s1
is an initial substring of s2
, then s1
is considered to be "less than" s2
. char * strcasestr_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2 | |||
) |
This funtion is similar to strcasestr() except that s2
is pointer to a string in program space.
char * strcat_P | ( | char * | dest, | |
PGM_P | src | |||
) |
The strcat_P() function is similar to strcat() except that the src string must be located in program space (flash).
PGM_P strchr_P | ( | PGM_P | s, | |
int | val | |||
) |
Locate character in program space string.
The strchr_P() function locates the first occurrence of val
(converted to a char) in the string pointed to by s
in program space. The terminating null character is considered to be part of the string.
The strchr_P() function is similar to strchr() except that s
is pointer to a string in program space.
NULL
if the character is not found. PGM_P strchrnul_P | ( | PGM_P | s, | |
int | c | |||
) |
The strchrnul_P() function is like strchr_P() except that if c
is not found in s
, then it returns a pointer to the null byte at the end of s
, rather than NULL
. (Glibc, GNU extension.)
s
(i.e., s+strlen
(s)) if the character is not found. int strcmp_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2 | |||
) |
The strcmp_P() function is similar to strcmp() except that s2
is pointer to a string in program space.
s1
is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2
. A consequence of the ordering used by strcmp_P() is that if s1
is an initial substring of s2
, then s1
is considered to be "less than" s2
. char * strcpy_P | ( | char * | dest, | |
PGM_P | src | |||
) |
The strcpy_P() function is similar to strcpy() except that src is a pointer to a string in program space.
size_t strcspn_P | ( | const char * | s, | |
PGM_P | reject | |||
) |
The strcspn_P() function calculates the length of the initial segment of s
which consists entirely of characters not in reject
. This function is similar to strcspn() except that reject
is a pointer to a string in program space.
s
which are not in the string reject
. The terminating zero is not considered as a part of string. size_t strlcat_P | ( | char * | dst, | |
PGM_P | , | |||
size_t | siz | |||
) |
Concatenate two strings.
The strlcat_P() function is similar to strlcat(), except that the src string must be located in program space (flash).
Appends src to string dst of size siz (unlike strncat(), siz is the full size of dst, not space left). At most siz-1 characters will be copied. Always NULL terminates (unless siz <= strlen(dst)).
size_t strlcpy_P | ( | char * | dst, | |
PGM_P | , | |||
size_t | siz | |||
) |
Copy a string from progmem to RAM.
Copy src to string dst of size siz. At most siz-1 characters will be copied. Always NULL terminates (unless siz == 0).
size_t strlen_P | ( | PGM_P | src | ) |
The strlen_P() function is similar to strlen(), except that src is a pointer to a string in program space.
int strncasecmp_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2, | |||
size_t | n | |||
) |
Compare two strings ignoring case.
The strncasecmp_P() function is similar to strcasecmp_P(), except it only compares the first n
characters of s1
.
s1 | A pointer to a string in the devices SRAM. | |
s2 | A pointer to a string in the devices Flash. | |
n | The maximum number of bytes to compare. |
s1
(or the first n
bytes thereof) is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2
. A consequence of the ordering used by strncasecmp_P() is that if s1
is an initial substring of s2
, then s1
is considered to be "less than" s2
. char * strncat_P | ( | char * | dest, | |
PGM_P | src, | |||
size_t | len | |||
) |
Concatenate two strings.
The strncat_P() function is similar to strncat(), except that the src string must be located in program space (flash).
int strncmp_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2, | |||
size_t | n | |||
) |
The strncmp_P() function is similar to strcmp_P() except it only compares the first (at most) n characters of s1 and s2.
char * strncpy_P | ( | char * | dest, | |
PGM_P | src, | |||
size_t | n | |||
) |
The strncpy_P() function is similar to strcpy_P() except that not more than n bytes of src are copied. Thus, if there is no null byte among the first n bytes of src, the result will not be null-terminated.
In the case where the length of src is less than that of n, the remainder of dest will be padded with nulls.
size_t strnlen_P | ( | PGM_P | src, | |
size_t | len | |||
) |
Determine the length of a fixed-size string.
The strnlen_P() function is similar to strnlen(), except that src
is a pointer to a string in program space.

, or len
if there is no '\0' character among the first len
characters pointed to by src
. char * strpbrk_P | ( | const char * | s, | |
PGM_P | accept | |||
) |
The strpbrk_P() function locates the first occurrence in the string s
of any of the characters in the flash string accept
. This function is similar to strpbrk() except that accept
is a pointer to a string in program space.
s
that matches one of the characters in accept
, or NULL
if no such character is found. The terminating zero is not considered as a part of string: if one or both args are empty, the result will NULL
. PGM_P strrchr_P | ( | PGM_P | s, | |
int | val | |||
) |
Locate character in string.
The strrchr_P() function returns a pointer to the last occurrence of the character val
in the flash string s
.
NULL
if the character is not found. char * strsep_P | ( | char ** | sp, | |
PGM_P | delim | |||
) |
Parse a string into tokens.
The strsep_P() function locates, in the string referenced by *sp
, the first occurrence of any character in the string delim
(or the terminating '\0' character) and replaces it with a '\0'. The location of the next character after the delimiter character (or NULL
, if the end of the string was reached) is stored in *sp
. An ``empty'' field, i.e. one caused by two adjacent delimiter characters, can be detected by comparing the location referenced by the pointer returned in *sp
to '\0'. This function is similar to strsep() except that delim
is a pointer to a string in program space.
*sp
. If *sp
is initially NULL
, strsep_P() returns NULL
. size_t strspn_P | ( | const char * | s, | |
PGM_P | accept | |||
) |
The strspn_P() function calculates the length of the initial segment of s
which consists entirely of characters in accept
. This function is similar to strspn() except that accept
is a pointer to a string in program space.
s
which consist only of characters from accept
. The terminating zero is not considered as a part of string. char * strstr_P | ( | const char * | s1, | |
PGM_P | s2 | |||
) |
Locate a substring.
The strstr_P() function finds the first occurrence of the substring s2
in the string s1
. The terminating '\0' characters are not compared. The strstr_P() function is similar to strstr() except that s2
is pointer to a string in program space.
s2
points to a string of zero length, the function returns s1
.
