/** @page howtocontext Context
 *
 * The context concept allows callers to work in environments with different sets of YANG schemas.
 *
 * The first step in libyang is to create a new context using ly_ctx_new(). It returns a handler
 * used in the following work.
 *
 * When creating a new context, search dir can be specified (NULL is accepted) to provide directory
 * where libyang will automatically search for schemas being imported or included. The search path
 * can be later changed via ly_ctx_set_searchdir() function. Before exploring the specified search
 * dir, libyang tries to get imported and included schemas from the current working directory first.
 * This automatic searching can be completely avoided when the caller sets module searching callback
 * (#ly_module_clb) via ly_ctx_set_module_clb().
 *
 * Schemas are added into the context using [parser functions](@ref howtoschemasparsers) - \b lys_parse_*().
 * In case of schemas, also ly_ctx_load_module() can be used - in that case the #ly_module_clb or automatic
 * search in working directory and in the searchpath is used.
 *
 * Similarly, data trees can be parsed by \b lyd_parse_*() functions. Note, that functions for schemas have \b lys_
 * prefix while functions for instance data have \b lyd_ prefix.
 *
 * Context can hold multiple revisons of the same schema.
 *
 * Context holds all modules and their submodules internally and they can appear in multiple revisions. To get
 * a specific module or submodule, use ly_ctx_get_module() and ly_ctx_get_submodule(). There are some additional
 * alternatives to these functions (with different parameters_. If you need to do something with all the modules or
 * submodules in the context, it is advised to iterate over them using ly_ctx_get_module_iter(), it is
 * the most efficient way. Alternatively, the ly_ctx_info() function can be used to get complex information
 * about the schemas in the context in the form of data tree defined by
 * <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-yang-library-04">ietf-yang-library</a> schema.
 * To get a specific node defined in a module in the context, ly_ctx_get_node() and ly_ctx_get_node2() can be used.
 * They differ in parameters used to identify the schema node.
 *
 * Modules held by a context cannot be removed one after one. The only way how to \em change modules in the
 * context is to create a new context and remove the old one. To remove a context, there is ly_ctx_destroy()
 * function.
 *
 * - @subpage howtocontextdict
 *
 * \note API for this group of functions is available in the [context module](@ref context).

/**
 * @page howtocontextdict Context Dictionary
 *
 * Context includes dictionary to store strings more effectively. The most of strings repeats quite often in schema
 * as well as data trees. Therefore, instead of allocating those strings each time they appear, libyang stores them
 * as records in the dictionary. The basic API to the context dictionary is public, so even a caller application can
 * use the dictionary.
 *
 * To insert a string into the dictionary, caller can use lydict_insert() (adding a constant string) or
 * lydict_insert_zc() (for dynamically allocated strings that won't be used by the caller after its insertion into
 * the dictionary). Both functions return the pointer to the inserted string in the dictionary record.
 *
 * To remove (reference of the) string from the context dictionary, lydict_remove() is supposed to be used.
 *
 * \note Incorrect usage of the dictionary can break libyang functionality.
 *
 * \note API for this group of functions is described in the [XML Parser module](@ref dict).

/**
 * @page howtoschemas Schemas
 *
 *
 * Schema is an internal libyang's representation of a YANG data model. Each schema is connected with
 * its [context](@ref howtocontext) and loaded using [parser functions](@ref howtoschemasparsers). It means, that
 * the schema cannot be created (nor changed) programmatically. In libyang, schemas are used only to
 * access data model definitions.
 *
 * Schema tree nodes are able to hold private objects (via a pointer to a structure, function, variable, ...) used by
 * a caller application. Such an object can be assigned to a specific node using lys_set_private() function.
 * Note that the object is not freed by libyang when the context is being destroyed. So the caller is responsible
 * for freeing the provided structure after the context is destroyed or the private pointer is set to NULL in
 * appropriate schema nodes where the object was previously set. This can be automated via destructor function
 * to free these private objects. The destructor is passed to the ly_ctx_destroy() function. On the other hand,
 * freeing the object while the schema tree is still in use can lead to a segmentation fault.

/**
 * @page howtoschemasparsers Parsing Schemas
 *
 * Schema parser allows to read schema from a specific format. libyang supports the following schema formats:
 *
 * - YANG
 *
 *   Basic YANG schemas format described in [RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020).
 *   Currently, only YANG 1.0 is supported.
 *
 * - YIN
 *
 *   Alternative XML-based format to YANG - YANG Independent Notation. The details can be found in
 *   [RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#section-11).
 *
 * When the [context](@ref howtocontext) is created, it already contains the following three schemas, which
 * are implemented internally by libyang:
 * - ietf-inet-types@2013-07-15
 * - ietf-yang-types@2013-07-15
 * - ietf-yang-library@2015-07-03
 * - yang@2016-02-11
 *
 * The last one is libyang's internal module to provide namespace for various YANG attributes defined in RFC 6020
 * (such as `insert` attribute for edit-config's data).
 *
 * Other schemas can be added to the context manually as described in [context page](@ref howtocontext) by the functions
 * listed below. Besides the schema parser functions, it is also possible to use ly_ctx_load_module() which tries to
 * find the required schema automatically - using #ly_module_clb or automatic search in working directory and in the
 * context's searchpath.

/**
 * @page howtoschemasfeatures YANG Features Manipulation
 *
 * The group of functions prefixed by \b lys_features_ are used to access and manipulate with the schema's
 * features.
 *
 * The first two functions are used to access information about the features in the schema.
 * lys_features_list() provides list of all features defined in the specific schema and its
 * submodules. Optionally, it can also provide information about the state of all features.
 * Alternatively, caller can use lys_features_state() function to get state of one specific
 * feature.
 *
 * The remaining two functions, lys_features_enable() and lys_features_disable(), are used
 * to enable and disable the specific feature (or all via the '`*`' value). By default, when the module
 * is loaded by libyang parser, all features are disabled.
 *
 * To get know, if a specific schema node is currently disabled or enable, the lys_is_disabled() function can be used.
 *
 * Note, that the feature's state can affect some of the output formats (e.g. Tree format).

/**
 * @page howtoschemasprinters Printing Schemas
 *
 * Schema printers allows to serialize internal representation of a schema module in a specific format. libyang
 * supports the following schema formats for printing:
 *
 * - YANG
 *
 *   Basic YANG schemas format described in [RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020).
 *   Currently, only YANG 1.0 is supported.
 *
 * - YIN
 *
 *   Alternative XML-based format to YANG - YANG Independent Notation. The details can be found in
 *   [RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020#section-11).
 *
 * - Tree
 *
 *   Simple tree structure of the module where each node is printed as:
 *
 *       <status> <flags> <name> <opts> <type> <if-features>
 *
 *   - `<status>` is one of:
 *     - `+` for current
 *     - `x` for deprecated
 *     - `o` for obsolete
 *
 *   - `<flags>` is one of:
 *     - `rw` for configuration data
 *     - `ro` for status data
 *     - `-x` for RPCs
 *     - `-n` for Notification
 *
 *   - `<name>` is the name of the node
 *     - `(<name>)` means that the node is a choice node
 *     - `:(<name>)` means that the node is a case node
 *     - if the node is augmented into the tree from another module, it is printed with the module name as
 *     `<module-name>:<name>`.
 *
 *   - `<opts>` is one of:
 *     - `?` for an optional leaf or choice
 *     - `!` for a presence container
 *     - `*` for a leaf-list or list
 *     - `[<keys>]` for a list's keys
 *
 *   - `<type>` is the name of the type for leafs and leaf-lists
 *     - if there is a default value defined, it is printed within angle brackets `<default-value>`
 *     - if the type is a leafref, the type is printed as -> TARGET`
 *
 *   - `<if-features>` is the list of features this node depends on, printed within curly brackets and
 *     a question mark `{...}?`
 *
 *
 * - Info
 *
 *   Detailed information about the specific node in the schema tree.
 *   It allows to print information not only about a specific module, but also about its specific part:
 *
 *   - absolute-schema-nodeid
 *
 *     e.g. \a `/modules/module-set-id`  in \a `ietf-yang-library` module
 *
 *   - <b>typedef/</b>typedef-name
 *
 *     e.g. \a `typedef/revision-identifier` in \a `ietf-yang-library` module
 *
 *   - <b>feature/</b>feature-name
 *
 *     e.g. \a `feature/ssh` in \a `ietf-netconf-server` module
 *
 *   - <b>grouping/</b>grouping-name/descendant-schema-nodeid
 *
 *     e.g. \a `grouping/module` or \a `grouping/module/module/submodules` in \a `ietf-yang-library` module
 *
 *   - <b>type/</b>leaf-or-leaflist
 *
 *     e.g. \a `type/modules/module-set-id` in \a `ietf-yang-library` module
 *
 * Printer functions allow to print to the different outputs including a callback function which allows caller
 * to have a full control of the output data - libyang passes to the callback a private argument (some internal
 * data provided by a caller of lys_print_clb()), string buffer and number of characters to print. Note that the
 * callback is supposed to be called multiple times during the lys_print_clb() execution.

/**
 * @page howtodata Data Instances
 *
 * All data nodes in data trees are connected with their schema node - libyang is not able to represent data of an
 * unknown schema.
 *
 * By default, the represented data are supposed to represent a full YANG datastore content. So if a schema declares
 * some mandatory nodes, despite configuration or status, the data are supposed to be present in the data tree being
 * loaded or validated. However, it is possible to specify other kinds of data (see @ref parseroptions) allowing some
 * exceptions to the validation process.
 *
 * Data validation is performed implicitly to the input data processed by the parser (\b lyd_parse_*() functions) and
 * on demand via the lyd_validate() function. The lyd_validate() is supposed to be used when a (complex or simple)
 * change is done on the data tree (via a combination of \b lyd_change_*(), \b lyd_insert*(), \b lyd_new*(),
 * lyd_unlink() and lyd_free() functions).

/**
 * @page howtodataparsers Parsing Data
 *
 * Data parser allows to read instances from a specific format. libyang supports the following data formats:
 *
 * - XML
 *
 *   Original data format used in NETCONF protocol. XML mapping is part of the YANG specification
 *   ([RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020)).
 *
 * - JSON
 *
 *   The alternative data format available in RESTCONF protocol. Specification of JSON encoding of data modeled by YANG
 *   can be found in [this draft](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-json-05).
 *
 * Besides the format of input data, the parser functions accepts additional [options](@ref parseroptions) to specify
 * how the input data should be processed.
 *
 * In contrast to the schema parser, data parser also accepts empty input data if such an empty data tree is valid
 * according to the schemas in the libyang context.
 *
 * In case of XML input data, there is one additional way to parse input data. Besides parsing the data from a string
 * in memory or a file, caller is able to build an XML tree using [libyang XML parser](@ref howtoxml) and then use
 * this tree (or a part of it) as input to the lyd_parse_xml() function.

/**
 * @page howtodatamanipulators Manipulating Data
 *
 * There are many functions to create or modify an existing data tree. You can add new nodes, reconnect nodes from
 * one tree to another (or e.g. from one list instance to another) or remove nodes. The functions doesn't allow you
 * to put a node to a wrong place (by checking the module), but not all validation checks can be made directly
 * (or you have to make a valid change by multiple tree modifications) when the tree is being changed. Therefore,
 * there is lyd_validate() function supposed to be called to make sure that the current data tree is valid. If
 * working with RPCs, they are invalid also in case the data nodes are not ordered according to the schema, which
 * you can fix easily with lyd_schema_sort(). Note, that not performing validation after some data tree changes
 * can cause failure of various libyang functions later.
 *
 * Creating data is generally possible in two ways, they can be combined. You can add nodes one-by-one based on
 * the node name and/or its parent (lyd_new(), lyd_new_anyxml_*(), lyd_new_leaf(), adn their output variants) or
 * address the nodes using a simple XPath addressing (lyd_new_path()). The latter enables to create a whole path
 * of nodes, requires less information about the modified data, and is generally simpler to use. The path format
 * specifics can be found [here](@ref howtoxpath).
 *
 * Working with two data subtrees can also be preformed two ways. Usually, you should use lyd_insert*() functions.
 * But they always work with a single subtree and it must be placed on an exact and correct location in the other
 * tree. If using lyd_merge(), this information is learnt internally and duplicities (that would invalidate
 * the final data tree) are filtered out at the cost of somewhat reduced effectivity.
 *
 * Also remember, that when you are creating/inserting a node, all the objects in that operation must belong to the
 * same context.
 *
 * Modifying the single data tree in multiple threads is not safe.

/**
 * @page howtodatawd Default Values
 *
 * libyang provide support for work with default values as defined in [RFC 6243](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243).
 * This document defines 4 modes for adding/removing default nodes to/from a data tree, libyang adds the fifth mode:
 * - \b explicit - Only the explicitly set configuration data. But in the case of status data, missing default
 *                 data are added into the tree. In libyang, this mode is represented by #LYD_WD_EXPLICIT option.
 * - \b trim - Data nodes containing the schema default value are removed. This mode is applied using #LYD_WD_TRIM option.
 * - \b report-all - All the missing default data are added into the data tree. This mode is represented by
 *                 #LYD_WD_ALL option.
 * - \b report-all-tagged - In this case, all the missing default data are added as in case of the `report-all` mode,
 *                 but additionally all the nodes (existing as well as added) containing the schema default value
 *                 are tagged (see the note below). libyang uses #LYD_WD_ALL_TAG option for this mode.
 * - \b report-implicit-tagged - The last mode is similar to the previous one, except only the added nodes are tagged.
 *                 This is the libyang's extension and it is represented by #LYD_WD_IMPL_TAG option.
 *
 * In the data nodes, the tag is represented as set ::lyd_node's `dflt` member. However, when the data tree is printed,
 * the tag is automatically printed as XML/JSON attribute as defined in [RFC 6243](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243).
 * This conversion is done only if the context includes the ietf-netconf-with-defaults schema. Otherwise, both
 * #LYD_WD_ALL_TAG and #LYD_WD_IMPL_TAG have the same result as #LYD_WD_ALL.
 *
 * The base function for with-defaults capability is lyd_wd_add(), which modifies the data tree according to the
 * required with-defaults mode. However, the with-defaults modes can be applied directly by the data parser
 * functions and by lyd_validate().
 *
 * With the lyd_wd_cleanup(), caller is able to remove all the data nodes marked with the defaults tag (set via

/**
 * @page howtoxpath XPath Addressing
 *
 * Internally, XPath evaluation is performed on \b when and \b must conditions in the schema. For that almost
 * a full XPath 1.0 evaluator was implemented. This XPath implementation is available on data trees by calling
 * lyd_get_node() except that only node sets are returned. This XPath conforms to the YANG specification
 * (RFC 6020 section 6.4). Some useful examples:
 *
 * - get all top-level nodes of the __module-name__
 *
 *       /module-name:*
 *
 * - get all the descendants of __container__ (excluding __container__)
 *
 *       /module-name:container//\asterisk
 *
 * - get __list__ instance with __key1__ of value __1__ and __key2__ of value __2__ (this can return more __list__ instances if there are more keys than __key1__ and __key2__)
 *
 *       /module-name:container/list[key1='1'][key2='2']
 *
 * - get __leaf-list__ instance with the value __val__
 *
 *       /module-name:container/leaf-list[.='val']
 *
 * - get __aug-leaf__, which was added to __module-name__ from an augment module __augment-module__
 *
 *       /module-name:container/container2/augment-module:aug-cont/aug-leaf
 *
 *
 * A very small subset of this full XPath is recognized by lyd_new_path(). Basically, only a relative or absolute
 * path can be specified to identify a new data node. However, lists must be identified by all their keys and created
 * with all of them, so for those cases predicates are allowed. Predicates must be ordered the way the keys are ordered
 * and all the keys must be specified. Every predicate includes a single key with its value. These paths are valid XPath
 * expressions. Example:
 *
 *     /ietf-yang-library:modules-state/module[name='ietf-yang-library'][revision='']/submodules
 *
 * Almost the same XPath is accepted by ly_ctx_get_node(). The difference is that it is not used on data, but schema,
 * which means there are no key values and only one node matches one path. In effect, lists do not have to have any
 * predicates. If they do, they do not need to have all the keys specified and if values are included, they are ignored.
 * Nevertheless, any such expression is still a valid XPath, but can return more nodes if executed on a data tree.
 * Examples (all returning the same node):
 *
 *     /ietf-yang-library:modules-state/module/submodules
 *     /ietf-yang-library:modules-state/module[name]/submodules
 *     /ietf-yang-library:modules-state/module[name][revision]/submodules
 *     /ietf-yang-library:modules-state/module[name='ietf-yang-library'][revision]/submodules
 *
 * Also, `choice`, `case`, `input`, and `output` nodes need to be specified and cannot be skipped in schema XPaths. Use
 * ly_ctx_get_node2() if you want to search based on a data XPath, the same format as what lyd_new_path() uses.
 *
 * Also note, that in all cases the node's prefix is specified as the name of the appropriate YANG schema. Any node
 * can be prefixed by the module name. However, if the prefix is omitted, the module name is inherited from the previous
 * (parent) node. It means, that the first node in the path is always supposed to have a prefix.

/**
 * @page howtoxml libyang XML Support
 *
 * libyang XML parser is able to parse XML documents. The main purpose is to load data modeled by YANG. However, it can
 * be used as a standalone XML parser with the following limitations in comparison to a full-featured XML parsers:
 * - comments are ignored
 * - Doctype declaration is ignored
 * - CData sections are ignored
 * - Process Instructions (PI) are ignored
 *
 * The API is designed to almost only read-only access. You can simply load XML document, go through the tree as
 * you wish and dump the tree to an output. The only "write" functions are lyxml_free() and lyxml_unlink() to remove
 * part of the tree or to unlink (separate) a subtree.
 *
 * XML parser is used internally by libyang for parsing YIN schemas and data instances in XML format.
 *
 * \note API for this group of functions is described in the [XML Parser module](@ref xmlparser).
 *

/**
 * @page howtothreads libyang in Threads
 *
 * libyang can be used in multithreaded applications keeping in mind the following rules:
 * - libyang context manipulation (adding new schemas) is not thread safe and it is supposed to be done in a main
 *   thread before any other work with context, schemas or data instances. Destroying the context is supposed to
 *   be done when no other thread accesses context, schemas nor data trees
 * - Data parser (\b lyd_parse*() functions) can be used simultaneously in multiple threads (also the returned
 *   #ly_errno is thread safe).
 * - Modifying (lyd_new(), lyd_insert(), lyd_unlink(), lyd_free() and many other functions) a single data tree is not
 *   thread safe.
 */

/**
 *
 * @page howtologger Logger
 *
 * There are 4 verbosity levels defined as ::LY_LOG_LEVEL. The level can be
 * changed by the ly_verb() function. By default, the verbosity level is
 * set to #LY_LLERR value.
 *
 * When an error is encountered, the error message and error number are stored for
 * later use. Caller is able to access the last error message via ly_errmsg() and the
 * corresponding last error code via #ly_errno. If that was a validation error (#ly_errno
 * is set to #LY_EVALID), also validation error code (via #ly_vecode) and path to the
 * error node (via ly_errpath()) are available.
 *
 * For some specific cases, a YANG schema can define error message and/or error tag (mainly for
 * use in NETCONF). If a message is set, it is provided via ly_errmsg(). If a tag is set in schema,
 * it is available via ly_erraptag() (if not set, the returned string is empty).
 *
 * By default, all libyang messages are printed to `stderr`. However, the caller is able to set their own logging
 * callback function. In that case, instead of printing messages, libyang passes error level, message and path
 * (if any) to the caller's callback function. In case of error level, the message and path are still
 * automatically stored and available via the functions and macros described above.
 *
 * \note API for this group of functions is described in the [logger module](@ref logger).
