Low-Level Parsing

The most basic way to use the expression parser is to tell it to start at a given position with a certain state, and parse up to a specified end position.

Function: parse-partial-sexp start limit &optional target-depth stop-before state stop-comment -
-

This function parses a sexp in the current buffer starting at start, not scanning past limit. It stops at position limit or when certain criteria described below are met, and sets point to the location where parsing stops. It returns a parser state describing the status of the parse at the point where it stops.

If the third argument target-depth is non-nil, parsing stops if the depth in parentheses becomes equal to target-depth. The depth starts at 0, or at whatever is given in state.

If the fourth argument stop-before is non-nil, parsing stops when it comes to any character that starts a sexp. If stop-comment is non-nil, parsing stops after the start of an unnested comment. If stop-comment is the symbol syntax-table, parsing stops after the start of an unnested comment or a string, or after the end of an unnested comment or a string, whichever comes first.

If state is nil, start is assumed to be at the top level of parenthesis structure, such as the beginning of a function definition. Alternatively, you might wish to resume parsing in the middle of the structure. To do this, you must provide a state argument that describes the initial status of parsing. The value returned by a previous call to parse-partial-sexp will do nicely.
