/*  The main synctex object is a scanner.
 *  Its implementation is considered private.
 *  The basic workflow is
 *  -   create a "synctex scanner" with the contents of a file
 *  -   perform actions on that scanner like
    synctex_display_query or synctex_edit_query below.
 *  -   perform actions on nodes returned by the scanner
 *  - free the scanner when the work is done

/**
 *  This is the designated method to create
 *  a new synctex scanner object.
 *  - argument output: the pdf/dvi/xdv file associated
 *      to the synctex file.
 *      If necessary, it can be the tex file that
 *      originated the synctex file but this might cause
 *      problems if the \\jobname has a custom value.
 *      Despite this method can accept a relative path
 *      in practice, you should only pass full paths.
 *      The path should be encoded by the underlying
 *      file system, assuming that it is based on
 *      8 bits characters, including UTF8,
 *      not 16 bits nor 32 bits.
 *      The last file extension is removed and
 *      replaced by the proper extension,
 *      either synctex or synctex.gz.
 *  - argument build_directory: It is the directory where
 *      all the auxiliary stuff is created.
 *      If no synctex file is found in the same directory
 *      as the output file, then we try to find one in
 *      this build directory.
 *      It is the directory where all the auxiliary
 *      stuff is created. Sometimes, the synctex output
 *      file and the pdf, dvi or xdv files are not
 *      created in the same location. See MikTeX.
 *      This directory path can be NULL,
 *      it will be ignored then.
 *      It can be either absolute or relative to the
 *      directory of the output pdf (dvi or xdv) file.
 *      Please note that this new argument is provided
 *      as a convenience but should not be used.
 *      Available since version 1.5.
 *  - argument parse: In general, use 1.
 *      Use 0 only if you do not want to parse the
 *      content but just check for existence.
 *      Available since version 1.5
 *   - resturn: a scanner. NULL is returned in case
 *      of an error or non existent file.

 *     }
 *
 *  Please notice that since version 1.19,
 *  there is a new argument page_hint.
 *  The results in pages closer to page_hint are given first.
 *  For example, one can
 * - highlight each resulting node in the output, using synctex_node_visible_h and synctex_node_visible_v
 * - highlight all the rectangles enclosing those nodes, using synctex_node_box_visible_... functions
 * - highlight just the character using that information
 *
 *  Given the page and the position in the page, synctex_edit_query returns the number of nodes
 *  satisfying the contrain. Use code like

 *     if(synctex_edit_query(scanner,page,h,v)>0) {

 * - highlight each resulting line in the input,
 * - highlight just the character using that information
 *
 *  page is 1 based
 *  h and v are coordinates in 72 dpi unit, relative to the top left corner of the page.
 *  If you make a new query, the result of the previous one is discarded. If you need to make more than one query
 *  in parallel, use the iterator API exposed in
 *  the synctex_parser_private.h header.
 *  If one of this function returns a negative integer,
 *  it means that an error occurred.
 *
 *  Both methods are conservative, in the sense that matching is weak.
 *  If the exact column number is not found, there will be an answer with the whole line.
 *
 *  Sumatra-PDF, Skim, iTeXMac2, TeXShop and Texworks are examples of open source software that use this library.
 *  You can browse their code for a concrete implementation.
