# cs\_register\_fileload(3)

register a fileload function

## NAME

cs\_register\_fileload  - register a fileload function

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <cs/cs.h>
```

```
void cs_register_fileload(CSPARSE *parse, void *ctx, CSFILELOAD fileload);
```

## ARGUMENTS

parse - a pointer to an initialized CSPARSE structure\
 ctx - pointer that is passed to the CSFILELOAD function when called\
 fileload - a CSFILELOAD function

## DESCRIPTION

cs\_register\_fileload registers a fileload function that  overrides the built-in function.  The built-in function uses hdf\_search\_path and ne\_file\_load (based on stat/open/read) to find and load the file on every template render. You can override this function if you wish to provide other template search functions, or load the template from an in-memory cache, etc. This fileload function will be used by cs\_parse, including

include: commands in the template.

## RETURN VALUE

None
