## Description

GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser parses ContentDirectory search criteria strings.

Note that no signals will be emitted if a wildcard is specified, and that the user is responsible for ensuring precedence of conjunction over disjunction.

Parses `text`, emitting the various defined signals on the way. If an error occured `error` will be set.

`parser` : | A GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser
`text` : | The search criteria string to be parsed
`error` : | The location where to store the error information if any, or NULL
Returns : | TRUE on success.

## Signal Details

### The `"begin-parens"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser *parser,
                                                            gpointer                   user_data)      : Run Last

The ::begin_parens signal is emitted to mark the beginning of a parenthetical expression.

`parser` : | The GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser that received the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"conjunction"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser *parser,

`parser` : | The GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser that received the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"end-parens"` signal

The ::end_parens signal is emitted to mark the end of a parenthetical expression.

`parser` : | The GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser that received the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"expression"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser *parser,
                                                            gchar                     *property,

The ::expression signal is emitted whenever an expression is parsed. Set `error` and return `FALSE` if an error occurred.

`parser` : | The GUPnPSearchCriteriaParser that received the signal
`property` : | The property
`op` : | The operator as GUPnPSearchCriteriaOp
`value` : | The value as string
`error` : | Place-holder for any possible errors from handler
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
