The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
}
A libxml automata description, It can be compiled into a regexp

}
A state int the automata description,

Function: xmlAutomataCompile

xmlRegexpPtr	xmlAutomataCompile	(xmlAutomataPtr am)

						 xmlAutomataStatePtr from,

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds a transition from the @from state to the target state activated by a succession of input of value @token and whose number is between @min and @max

am:an automata
from:the starting point of the transition
to:the target point of the transition or NULL
token:the input string associated to that transition

							 const xmlChar * token, 
							 const xmlChar * token2, 
							 int min, 
							 int max,

							 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
							 xmlAutomataStatePtr to, 
							 int counter)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds an epsilon transition from the @from state to the target state which will increment the counter provided

from:the starting point of the transition
to:the target point of the transition or NULL
counter:the counter associated to that transition
Returns:the target state or NULL in case of error

					 int min, 
					 int max)

min:the minimal value on the counter
max:the maximal value on the counter

xmlAutomataStatePtr	xmlAutomataNewCounterTrans	(xmlAutomataPtr am, 
							 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
							 xmlAutomataStatePtr to, 
							 int counter)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds an epsilon transition from the @from state to the target state which will be allowed only if the counter is within the right range.

am:an automata
from:the starting point of the transition
to:the target point of the transition or NULL
counter:the counter associated to that transition
Returns:the target state or NULL in case of error

Function: xmlAutomataNewEpsilon

xmlAutomataStatePtr	xmlAutomataNewEpsilon	(xmlAutomataPtr am, 
						 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
						 xmlAutomataStatePtr to)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds an epsilon transition from the @from state to the target state

						 xmlAutomataStatePtr from, 
						 xmlAutomataStatePtr to, 
						 const xmlChar * token, 
						 const xmlChar * token2, 
						 void * data)

If @to is NULL, this creates first a new target state in the automata and then adds a transition from the @from state to the target state activated by any value except (@token,@token2) Note that if @token2 is not NULL, then (X, NULL) won't match to follow # the semantic of XSD ##other
