# cs\_render(3)

render a CS parse tree

## NAME

cs\_render  - render a CS parse tree

## SYNOPSIS

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

```
NEOERR *cs_render (CSPARSE *parse, void *ctx, CSOUTFUNC cb);
```

## ARGUMENTS

parse - the CSPARSE structure containing the CS parse tree\
 that will be evaluated\
 ctx - user data that will be passed as the first variable to\
 the CSOUTFUNC.\
 cb - a CSOUTFUNC called to render the output.  A CSOUTFUNC is\
 defined as:\
 typedef NEOERR\* (\*CSOUTFUNC)(void \*, char \*);

## DESCRIPTION

cs\_render will evaluate a CS parse tree, calling the CSOUTFUNC passed to it for output.  Note that calling cs\_render multiple times on the same parse tree may or may not render the same output as the set statement has side-effects, it updates the HDF data used by the render.  Typically, you will call one of the cs\_parse functions before calling this function.

## RETURN VALUE

None
