librdf_hash_interpret_template ()

unsigned char*      librdf_hash_interpret_template      (unsigned char *template_string,
                                                         librdf_hash *dictionary,

Interpret keys in a template string to their value in a dictionary.

Can be used to do variable substitution for a string where the syntax that marks the variable is defined by the prefix and suffix strings, and the variables are stored in the dictionary hash table.

template_string :

 template string to interprate

dictionary :

 dictionary of key/values to substitute

prefix :

 prefix to mark a key in the template

suffix :

 suffix to mark a key in the template

Returns :

 Newly allocated string, or NULL on failure
