/** @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() and ly_ctx_unset_searchdrs() functions. If the search dir
 * is specified, it is explored first. Except the searchpath, also all its subdirectories (and symlinks) are
 * taken into account. In case the module is not found, libyang tries to find the (sub)module also in current
 * working working directory. Note, that in this case only the current directory without any other subdirectory
 * is examined. This automatic searching can be completely avoided when the caller sets module searching callback
 * (#ly_module_imp_clb) via ly_ctx_set_module_imp_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_imp_clb or automatic
 * search in search dir and in the current working directory 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. It can happen during data parsing that a schema is
 * required and __not found__ in the context or the schema is found, but is __only imported__, not implemented (so the
 * data cannot actually be instantiated). In these cases, a callback is called, which should add this schema into
 * the context or change its conformance to implemented. You can set the callback using ly_ctx_set_module_data_clb()
 * (more in @ref howtodataparsers and @ref howtodatavalidation).
 *
 * Context can hold multiple revisions of the same schema, but only one of them can be implemented. The schema is not
 * implemented in case it is automatically loaded as import for another module and it is not referenced in such
 * a module (and no other) as target of leafref, augment or deviation. All modules with deviation definition are always
 * marked as implemented. The imported (not implemented) module can be set implemented by lys_set_implemented(). But
 * the implemented module cannot be changed back to just imported module. The imported modules are used only as a
 * source of definitions for types (including identities) and uses statements. The data in such a modules are
 * ignored - caller is not allowed to create the data defined in the model via data parsers, the default nodes are
 * not added into any data tree and mandatory nodes are not checked in the data trees. This can be changed by
 * ly_ctx_set_allimplemented() function which causes that all the imported modules are automatically set to be
 * implemented.
 *
 * Context holds all modules and their submodules internally. 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() can be used.
 *
 * Modules held by a context can be removed by ly_ctx_remove_module(). Besides removing the module, it is possible
 * just to disable it with lys_set_disabled(). In this case the module is hidden in the context (disabled modules can
 * be iterated via ly_ctx_get_disabled_module_iter()) and not used during the common work with the context. The module
 * is enabled explicitly by calling lys_set_enabled() or implicitly by the request to load the schema (directly or
 * indirectly via import of another module) into the context.
 *
 * To clean the context from all the loaded modules (except the [internal modules](@ref howtoschemasparsers)), the
 * ly_ctx_clean() function can be used. To remove the context, there is ly_ctx_destroy() function.

/**
 * @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).

 * Functions List

/**
 * @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) and
 *   [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951) (so both YANG 1.0 and YANG 1.1 versions are 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) and
 *   [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951#section-13).
 *
 * When the [context](@ref howtocontext) is created, it already contains the following schemas, which
 * are implemented internally by libyang:
 * - ietf-yang-metadata@2016-08-05
 * - yang@2017-02-20
 * - ietf-inet-types@2013-07-15
 * - ietf-yang-types@2013-07-15
 * - ietf-yang-library@2016-06-21
 *
 * The `yang` schema is the libyang's internal module to provide namespace and definitions of for various YANG
 * attributes described in [RFC 7951](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243) (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_imp_clb or automatic search in working directory and in the
 * context's searchpath.

 * - lys_parse_mem()
 * - lys_parse_fd()
 * - lys_parse_path()

/**
 * @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 howtoschemaextensions YANG Extensions Support
 *
 * YANG provides extensions as a mechanism how to add new statements into the language. Since they are very generic -
 * extension instance can appear anywhere, they can contain any other YANG statement including extension instances and
 * their specification has a form of the description text, it is very challenging for libyang to provide working and
 * useful implementation. Therefore, you can reach some limitation regarding the extensions support, but the common
 * use cases should be covered and supported.
 *
 * Since libyang does not understand human text, it is not possible to get the complete defintion of the extension from
 * its description statement. Therefore, libyang allows the schema authors to provide @link lyext_plugin extension
 * plugin@endlink that provides information from the extension description to libyang.
 *
 * Here are some notes about the implementation of the particular YANG extensions features
 *
 * - Extension instance can appear anywhere
 *   This is completely supported. In addition, the extension plugins are allowed to provide callback function to
 *   check if the extension instance is actually allowed to be instantiated as a substatement of the particular node.
 *   In some case the extension instance is not stored in the libyang structures inside the statement it is
 *   instantiated since some statements (such as description, position and several others listed as #LYEXT_SUBSTMT) are
 *   not stored as a structure, but directly as a value. The extension instances of such statements are then actually
 *   stored besides the extension instances of the parent structure (e.g. in ::lys_type_bit in case of position's
 *   extension instances). These extension instances are indicated by the ::lys_ext_instance#insubstmt value which
 *   refers (sometimes in combination with ::lys_ext_instance#insubstmt_index) to the substatement where the particular
 *   extension is actually instantiated.
 *
 * - Extension instance can contain any other YANG statement
 *   This is supported with exceptions - the list of YANG statements is defined as #LY_STMT enumeration with the
 *   description if the specific statement can appear as an extension instance substatement or if there is some
 *   limitation regarding its cardinality. It also specifies how the specific statement is stored in the extension
 *   instance (which data type or structure is used). In some cases, like `include` or `yang-version` statements, it
 *   make no sense to have them inside an extension instance, so they are not supported by libyang.
 *
 *   The list of allowed substatement for the specific extension instances is provided by the extension plugin. Besides
 *   the list of substatement, the plugin also specifies where the data are stored and the cardinality for each
 *   substatement. Other extension instances as an extension instance substatements are always allowed. Note, that if
 *   there is no extension plugin defined or if the list of the allowed substatements is empty, no substatement (except
 *   extension instances) is allowed.
 *
 * There are several extension types (enumerated as #LYEXT_TYPE) according to their purpose and content:
 *
 * - #LYEXT_FLAG - simple extension with no content (no substatement is allowed). The extension instance serves just as
 *   a flag with or without an argument and its value. The example of such an extension is NACM's __default-deny-write__
 *   or __default-deny-all__. This is the default type of extension for the case there is no extension plugin available
 *   for the specific extension. Extension instances of this type are represented as ::lys_ext_instance.
 *
 * - #LYEXT_COMPLEX - complex extension with content. The specific rules for the content and how it is stored in the
 *   extension instance structure is specified by the plugin. Extension instances of this type are represented as
 *   ::lys_ext_instance_complex.
 *
 * Note that the ::lys_ext_instance structure serves as a generic structure for all extension instances. In case the
 * ::lys_ext_instance#ext_type is set to a different value than #LYEXT_FLAG, the structure can be cast to the particular
 * extension instance structure to access the type-specific members.
 *
 * Extension Plugins
 * -----------------
 * Extension plugins provide more detailed information about the extension in a understandable form for libyang. These
 * information is usually provided in a text form in the extension's description statement. libyang provides several
 * plugins for the common IETF extensions (NACM, Metadata, ...) that can be used as a code examples for other
 * extensions.
 *
 * There are several types of extension plugins which corresponds to the extension types:
 *
 * - ::lyext_plugin - the plugin for a simple extensions of type #LYEXT_FLAG. The plugin is supposed to provide
 *   callbacks for:
 *   + @link lyext_check_position_clb checking extension position @endlink (if the extension instance can be instantiated
 *     in a particular parent)
 *   + @link lyext_check_inherit_clb deciding if the extension is supposed to be inherited @endlink
 *     (see #LYEXT_OPT_INHERIT). Note that the inherited extension instances are available in the libyang data
 *     structures, but they are not part of the schema so they are not printed into the schema output formats.
 *   + @link lyext_check_result_clb checking the result @endlink, the callback is called when the schema is completely
 *     parsed and all the data are available for the final (possibly complex) checking (or modification)
 * - ::lyext_plugin_complex - the plugin for the complex extension instances (#LYEXT_COMPLEX). The structure extends
 *   the ::lyext_plugin structure by:
 *   + instance_size - the overall size of the ::lyext_plugin_complex structure to allocate.
 *     The substatement list is flexible array, so the size of the plugin structure depends on the content of the array.
 *   + substmt - the list of the allowed substatements to the extension instance, besides the substatement id, it
 *     also specifies its cardinality and the specific position in the ::lys_ext_instance_complex where the data are
 *     stored (as offset to the ::lys_ext_instance_complex#content member). The way how the data are stored is
 *     specified descriptions of #LY_STMT values.
 *
 * The plugins are loaded from the plugin directory (LIBDIR/libyang/) whenever a context is created. However, the list
 * of plugins can be refreshed manually by lyext_load_plugins(). The plugin directory path can be change via the
 * `LIBYANG_EXTENSIONS_PLUGINS_DIR` environment variable. Note, that no more available plugins are not removed, only
 * the new plugins are loaded. Also note that availability of new plugins does not affect the current schemas in the
 * contexts, they are applied only to the newly parsed schemas.
 *
 * The plugins list can be cleaned by lyext_clean_plugins(). However, since various contexts (respectively their
 * schemas) can link to the plugins, the cleanup is successful only when there is no remaining context.
 *
 * Metadata Support
 * ----------------
 * @anchor howtoschemametadata
 *
 * YANG Metadata annotations are defined in [RFC 7952](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243) as YANG extension. In
 * practice, it allows to have XML attributes (there is also a special encoding for JSON) in YANG modeled data.
 * libyang does not allow to have any XML attribute without the appropriate annotation definition describing the
 * data as it is done e.g. for leafs. When an attribute without a matching annotation definition is found in the
 * input data, it is silently dropped (with warning) or an error is reported in case the #LYD_OPT_STRICT parser
 * option is provided to the [parser function](@ref howtodataparsers).
 *
 * There are some XML attributes, described by [YANG](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951) and
 * [NETCONF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241) specifications, which are not defined as annotations, but libyang
 * implements them this way. In case of attributes in the YANG namespace (`insert`, `value` and `key` attributes
 * for the NETCONF edit-config operation), they are defined in special libyang's internal module `yang`, which is
 * available in each context and the content of this schema can be printed via
 * [schema printers](@ref howtoschemasprinters).
 *
 * In case of the attributes described in [NETCONF specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241), the libyang's
 * annotations structures are hidden and cannot be printed despite, internally, they are part of the `ietf-netconf`'s
 * schema structure. Therefore, these attributes are available only when the `ietf-netconf` schema is loaded in the
 * context. The definitions of these annotations are as follows:
 *
 *     md:annotation operation {
 *       type enumeration {
 *         enum merge;
 *         enum replace;
 *         enum create;
 *         enum delete;
 *         enum remove;
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 *     md:annotation type {
 *       type enumeration {
 *         enum subtree;
 *         enum xpath {
 *           if-feature "nc:xpath";
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 *     md:annotation select {
 *       type string;
 *     }
 *
 * Note, that, following the specification,
 * - the `type` and `select` XML attributes are supposed to be unqualified (without namespace) and that
 * - the `select`'s content is XPath and it is internally transformed by libyang into the format where the
 *   XML namespace prefixes are replaced by the YANG module names.
 *

/**
 * @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) and
 *   [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951) (so both YANG 1.0 and YANG 1.1 versions are 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) and
 *   [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951#section-13).
 *
 * - 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

/**
 * @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.
 *
 * Connected to the aforementioned, it is important to mention that there are several kinds of data trees libyang
 * can work with. Except for a standard full data tree and configuration data tree, there are trees specific for use
 * in NETCONF, which are \<get\> or \<get-config\> replies, \<edit-config\> input content, generic RPC/action request,
 * RPC/action reply, or a notification.
 *
 * Special care is needed when working with action input and RPC/action output, because in these cases the libyang data
 * tree does not match the actual data tree NETCONF expects.
 *
 * <b>Action input</b> differentiates from a standard RPC that the child of \<rpc\> element is not the specific RPC
 * request being sent, but a special \<action\> element in the base YANG namespace. It is expected to be present when
 * parsing an action input and can optionally be included when the action is printed.
 *
 * As for <b>RPC output</b>, NETCONF expects the output parameters as direct children of the \<rpc-reply\> element.
 * However, libyang encapsulates these parameters in the specific RPC request container. Same as before, it is expected
 * to be without this container when parsing and can be printed out.
 *
 * Lastly, <b>action output</b> is almost similar to RPC output and in NETCONF you actually cannot distinguish them,
 * but in case of action output, libyang puts all the output parameters under the action container, which is also
 * just a child to all the schema tree ancestors up to the schema top-level, just like in an action input. Same applies
 * even in this case, parsed data should be only the output parameters, you can decide how to print it.
 *
 * So, you do not have to use any special flag when you want to print the data tree the way libyang internally stores
 * it, although you will not be able to parse it back, as was mentioned in the paragraphs above. To print data in the
 * way NETCONF and libyang expects them to be, use #LYP_NETCONF flag for any printing function.
 *
 * Please, continue reading a specific subsection or go through all the subsections if you are a new user of libyang.

/**
 * @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.
 *
 * If a node from a schema, which is not present in the context or is not implemented, is parsed, a callback set by
 * ly_ctx_set_module_data_clb() is called and this way the application is given the opportunity to add this schema into
 * the context or change its conformance before the parsing would fail.
 *
 * 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. All functions performing data tree changes are marked
 * with the __PARTIAL CHANGE__ flag in their documentation meaning they leave at least partly non-validated data tree.
 *
 * 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(), \b lyd_new_anydata_*(), lyd_new_leaf(), and 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 performed two ways. Usually, you would use lyd_insert*() functions.
 * They are generally meant for simple inserts of a node into a data tree. For more complicated inserts and when
 * merging 2 trees use lyd_merge(). It offers additional options and is basically a more powerful insert.
 *
 * 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 howtodatavalidation Validating Data
 *
 * 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).
 *
 * Part of data validation is resolving leafrefs and instance-identifiers. Leafrefs are resolved only when a change occured
 * in the data tree that could have broken the link. However, as instance-identifiers can point to any node whatsoever
 * without an import, it would not be effective to store metadata as in the case of leafrefs. That is why they are resolved
 * during every validation. Also, for the same reason, it can easily happen that when parsing/validating data with
 * an instance-identifier, it will target a remote node, whose schema is not currently present in the context. To handle
 * this case, a callback should be set using ly_ctx_set_module_data_clb(), which can load the schema when required.
 *
 * Must And When Conditions Accessible Tree
 * ----------------------------------------
 *
 * In YANG 1.1, there can be \b must and/or \b when expressions in RPC/action input or output, or in notifications that
 * require access to the configuration datastore and/or state data. Normally, when working with any of the aforementioned
 * data trees, they must contain only the RPC/action/notification itself, without any additional configuration or state
 * data. So how can then these conditions be verified during validation?
 *
 * There is an option to pass this additional data tree to all the functions that perform \b must and \b when condition
 * checking (\b lyd_parse_*() and lyd_validate()). Also, there are 2 flags of \b struct lys_node that
 * mark schema nodes that include paths that require foreign nodes (outside their subtree) for their evaluation. #LYS_XPATH_DEP
 * marks nodes with such must and/or when expressions, #LYS_LEAFREF_DEP with such a leafref.
 * The subtree root is always the particular operation data node (for RPC it is the RPC data node and all
 * the input or output nodes as its children and similarly for action and notification). Note that for action and
 * not-top-level notification this means that all their parents are not considered as belonging to their subtree even though
 * they are included in their data tree and must be present for the operation validation to pass. The reason for this is that if
 * there are any lists in those parents, we cannot know if there are not some other instances of them in the standard
 * data tree in addition to the one used in the action/notification invocation.
 *
 * There were 2 ways of using this mechanism envisioned (explained below), but you can combine or modify them.
 *
 * ### Fine-grained Data Retrieval ###
 *
 * This approach is recommended when you do not maintain a full configuration data tree with state data at all times.
 *
 * Firstly, you should somehow learn that the operation data tree you are currently working with includes some schema
 * node instances that have conditions that require foreign data. You can either know this about every operation beforehand
 * or you go through all the schema nodes looking for the flags #LYS_XPATH_DEP and #LYS_LEAFREF_DEP. Then you should use lys_node_xpath_atomize()
 * to retrieve all XPath condition dependencies (in the form of schema nodes) outside the operation subtree. You will likely
 * want to use the flag #LYXP_NO_LOCAL to get rid of all the nodes from inside the subtree (you should already have those).
 * The last thing to do is to build a data tree that includes at least all the instances of the nodes obtained from lys_node_xpath_atomize()
 * (it will be expected). Then you pass this tree to the validation and it should now have access to all the nodes that
 * can potentially affect the XPath evaluation and no other.
 *
 * ### Maintaining Configuration And State Data Tree ###
 *
 * If you have a full data tree with state data available for the validation process then it is quite simple (compared
 * to the first approach). You can simply always pass it to validation of these operations and in cases it is not required
 * (no nodes with conditions traversing foreign nodes) only a negligible amount of redundant work is performed and you can
 * skip the process of learning whether it is required or not.

/**
 * @page howtodatawd Default Values
 *
 * libyang provides support for work with default values as defined in [RFC 6243](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243).
 * This document defines 4 modes for handling default nodes in 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 #LYP_WD_EXPLICIT option.
 * - \b trim - Data nodes containing the schema default value are removed. This mode is applied using #LYP_WD_TRIM option.
 * - \b report-all - All the missing default data are added into the data tree. This mode is represented by
 *                 #LYP_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 #LYP_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 #LYP_WD_IMPL_TAG option.
 *
 * libyang automatically adds/maintain the default nodes when a data tree is being parsed or validated. Note, that in a
 * modified data tree (via e.g. lys_insert() or lys_free()), some of the default nodes can be missing or they can be
 * present by mistake. Such a data tree is again corrected during the next lyd_validate() call.
 *
 * The implicit (default) nodes, created by libyang, are marked with the ::lyd_node#dflt flag which applies to the
 * leafs and leaf-lists. In case of containers, the flag means that the container holds only a default node(s) or it
 * is an empty container (according to YANG 1.1 spec, all such containers are part of the accessible data tree).
 *
 * The presence of the default nodes during the data tree lifetime is affected by the LYD_OPT_ flag used to
 * parse/validate the tree:
 * - #LYD_OPT_DATA - all the default nodes are present despite they are configuration or status nodes
 * - #LYD_OPT_CONFIG - only the configuration data nodes are added into the tree
 * - #LYD_OPT_GET, #LYD_OPT_GETCONFIG, #LYD_OPT_EDIT - no default nodes are added
 * - #LYD_OPT_RPC, #LYD_OPT_RPCREPLY, #LYD_OPT_NOTIF - the default nodes from the particular subtree are added
 *
 * The with-default modes described above are supported when the data tree is being printed with the
 * [LYP_WD_ printer flags](@ref printerflags). Note, that in case of #LYP_WD_ALL_TAG and #LYP_WD_IMPL_TAG modes,
 * the XML/JSON attributes are printed only if the context includes the ietf-netconf-with-defaults schema. Otherwise,
 * these modes have the same result as #LYP_WD_ALL. The presence of empty containers (despite they were added explicitly
 * or implicitly as part of accessible data tree) depends on #LYP_KEEPEMPTYCONT option.
 *
 * To get know if the particular leaf or leaf-list node contains default value (despite implicit or explicit), you can
 * use lyd_wd_default() function.

/**
 * @page howtodataprinters Printing Data
 *
 * Data printers allows to serialize internal representation of a data tree in a specific format. libyang
 * supports the following data formats for printing:
 *
 * - XML
 *
 *   Basic format as specified in rules of mapping YANG modeled data to XML in
 *   [RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020). It is possible to specify if

 *   if the indentation (formatting) will be used (by #LYP_FORMAT @ref printerflags "printer option").
 *
 * Printer functions allow to print to the different outputs including a callback function which allows caller

/**
 * @page howtoxpath XPath Addressing
 *
 * Internally, XPath evaluation is performed on __when__ and __must__ conditions in the schema. For that almost
 * a full XPath 1.0 evaluator was implemented. In YANG models you can also find paths identifying __augment__
 * targets, __leafref__ targets, and trivial paths in __choice default__ and __unique__ statements argument.
 * The exact format of all those paths can be found in the relevant RFCs. Further will only be discussed
 * paths that are used directly in libyang API functions.
 *
 * Schema
 * ======
 *
 * Regarding identifying schema nodes, we use a slightly modified version of YANG __augment__ target path:
 *   - strictly speaking, most XPath expressions are not accepted, only simple paths (no predicates,
 *     numbers, literals, operators, ...),
 *   - whenever a prefix is used for a node, it is not the import prefix, but the __module name__ itself,
 *   - __current module__ is specified separately for _absolute_ paths and is the module of the start
 *     (current) node for _relative_ paths,
 *   - unprefixed nodes all use the prefix of the __current module__ so all nodes from other modules than
 *     the __current module__ _MUST_ have prefixes,
 *   - nodes from the __current module__ _MAY_ have prefixes,
 *
 * 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 __aug-leaf__, which was added to __module-name__ from an augment module __augment-module__
 *
 *       /module-name:container/container2/augment-module:aug-cont/augment-module:aug-leaf
 *
 * Functions List
 * --------------
 * - lys_find_path()
 * - lys_path()
 *
 *
 * Data
 * ====
 *
 * As for paths evaluated on YANG data, we opted for standardized JSON paths ([RFC 7951](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951#section-6.11)). Summarized, it follows these conventions:
 *   - generally, you can use almost a full XPath in these paths where it makes sense, but only data nodes (node sets)
 *     will always be returned (except for paths, predicates are mostly used),
 *   - as per the specification, prefixes are actually __module names__,
 *   - also in the specification, for _absolute_ paths, the first (leftmost) node _MUST_ have a prefix,
 *   - for _relative_ paths, you specify the __context node__, which then acts as a parent for the first node in the path,
 *   - nodes always inherit their module (prefix) from their __parent node__ so whenever a node is from a different
 *     module than its parent, it _MUST_ have a prefix,
 *   - nodes from the same module as their __parent__ _MUST NOT_ have a prefix,
 *   - different from schema paths, non-data nodes (choice, case, uses, input, output) are skipped and not included
 *     in the path.
 *
 * Examples
 * --------
 *
 * - 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-list__ with __aug-list-key__, which was added to __module-name__ from an augment module __augment-module__
