## Description ### Macro: XML_COMPLETE_ATTRS
    #define XML_COMPLETE_ATTRS
Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to do complete the elements attributes lists with the ones defaulted from the DTDs. Use it to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue. ### Macro: XML_DEFAULT_VERSION
    #define XML_DEFAULT_VERSION
The default version of XML used: 1.0 ### Macro: XML_DETECT_IDS
    #define XML_DETECT_IDS
Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to do ID/REFs lookups. Use it to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue. ### Macro: XML_SAX2_MAGIC
    #define XML_SAX2_MAGIC
Special constant found in SAX2 blocks initialized fields ### Macro: XML_SKIP_IDS
    #define XML_SKIP_IDS
Bit in the loadsubset context field to tell to not do ID/REFs registration. Used to initialize xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue in some special cases. ### Enum xmlFeature

An attribute definition has been parsed.
`ctx`: | the user data (XML parser context)
`elem`: | the name of the element
`fullname`: | the attribute name
`type`: | the attribute type
`def`: | the type of default value
`defaultValue`: | the attribute default value

    Function type: attributeSAXFunc
    void	attributeSAXFunc		(void * ctx,

### Function: xmlCleanupParser
    void	xmlCleanupParser		(void)
This function name is somewhat misleading. It does not clean up parser state, it cleans up memory allocated by the library itself. It is a cleanup function for the XML library. It tries to reclaim all related global memory allocated for the library processing. It doesn't deallocate any document related memory. One should call xmlCleanupParser() only when the process has finished using the library and all XML/HTML documents built with it. See also xmlInitParser() which has the opposite function of preparing the library for operations. WARNING: if your application is multithreaded or has plugin support calling this may crash the application if another thread or a plugin is still using libxml2. It's sometimes very hard to guess if libxml2 is in use in the application, some libraries or plugins may use it without notice. In case of doubt abstain from calling this function or do it just before calling exit() to avoid leak reports from valgrind ! ### Function: xmlClearNodeInfoSeq

This function is provided as a way to force the standard behavior on 1.X libs and to switch back to the old mode for compatibility when running 1.X client code on 2.X .
