% \section{\pkg{l3pdfdict} documentation}
% Many PDF objects are or contain dictionaries---structures
% containing a number of \mbox{(pdf-)}name/value pairs.
% Examples are attributes of links,
% filespec dictionaries, xform dictionaries, the catalog, the info dictionary.
% The commands in this module offer an number of
% tools to handle such dictionaries. The module setups a name space for the
% dictionary names and offers some commands to output dictionaries.
%
% The dictionaries work in many respects
% like property lists with a few PDF specific changes:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item The keys are always converted with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n}
% to get a correct PDF name;
% \item a key with a empty value can not be added, it will be ignored;
% \item there is a dedicated function to output the property as space
% separated list with keys with slash: \texttt{/key1 value1 /key2 value2}.
% \end{itemize}
% Local and global dictionaries can be created.
%
% \subsection{User Commands}
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-12-03]
%   {\pdfdict_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_new:n} \Arg{dictionary name}
%   \end{syntax}
% This function create a new local or global dictionary. Which one depends on
% \meta{dictionary name}: If it begins with the standard |g| the dictionary is global,
% with |l| the dictionary is local, other starting chars will give an error.
% It is recommended to begin the name in the standard expl3 naming scheme
% with one or two underscores and a module name,
% so |g_module_XXXX| or |g__module_XXXX|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-06-16,updated = 2020-12-03]
%   {\pdfdict_set_eq:nn,\pdfdict_gset_eq:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_set_eq:nn}  \Arg{local dictionary name_1}  \Arg{dictionary name_2}\\
%     \cs{pdfdict_gset_eq:nn} \Arg{global dictionary name_1} \Arg{dictionary name_2}
%   \end{syntax}
% This functions copy \meta{dictionary name_2} into
% \meta{local/global dictionary name_1} locally or globally. If the
% dictionary \meta{local/global dictionary name_1} doesn't exist yet, it will be created.
% If \meta{dictionary name_2} doesn't exist yet, an error will be raised.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-04-06]
%   {
%     \pdfdict_put:nnn,\pdfdict_put:nne,\pdfdict_put:nee,
%     \pdfdict_gput:nnn,\pdfdict_gput:nne,\pdfdict_gput:nee
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_put:nnn}  \Arg{local dictionary}  \Arg{name} \Arg{value} \\
%     \cs{pdfdict_gput:nnn} \Arg{global dictionary} \Arg{name} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
% This function puts key \meta{name} and value \meta{value} locally or globally in the
% \meta{dictionary} created with \cs{pdfdict_new:n}.
% \Arg{name} should be a PDF Name without the starting slash. It will be stored
% with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n}, so will be automatically correctly escaped in case
% it contains slashes, spaces or other chars not allowed in a PDF name.
% \meta{value} should be a valid PDF value for this name in the
% target dictionary. The value is \emph{neither} converted \emph{nor} escaped automatically.
% If the value is blank nothing is added to the dictionary.
%
% When adding a value keep in mind that the expansion behaviour
% of the backends differ. Some backends expand a
% value always fully when writing to the PDF, with other backends commands
% could end as strings in the PDF. This makes controlling the
% expansion quite tricky. It is better to not rely on
% \meta{value} to be expanded nor not expanded by the backend commands.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,added = 2020-12-04]
%   { \pdfdict_item:nn, \pdfdict_item:ne  }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_item:nn} \Arg{key} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
% A simple command to output key-value as |/key value|. This is
% needed to output dictionaries in mapping commands. The command doesn't
% do any escaping, it expects that the name has been escaped when the value
% has been stored into the dictionary.
% If the value is blank nothing is output.
% The command is expandable if the content is it.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,updated = 2020-12-03]
%   { \pdfdict_use:n  }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_use:n} \Arg{dictionary}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This outputs the property list of the dictionary as a list of
%   |/key value| pairs.
%   This can be used e.g. when writing a dictionary object with
%   \cs{pdf_object_write:nne}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-12-03]
%   {\pdfdict_show:n }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_show:n}  \Arg{dictionary}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This shows the content of \meta{dictionary} in the log and on the terminal.
% \end{function}
%\begin{function}[EXP, pTF,updated = 2020-12-03]
%   { \pdfdict_if_exist:n  }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_if_exist:n} \Arg{dictionary}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This tests if the dictionary exists.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[EXP, pTF,updated = 2020-12-03]
%   { \pdfdict_if_empty:n }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_if_empty:n} \Arg{dictionary}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This tests if the dictionary is empty. The result is false if the
%   dictionary doesn't exist.
% \end{function}
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-07-06]
%   {\pdfdict_get:nnN }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_get:nnN} \Arg{dictionary} \Arg{name} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Recovers the \meta{value} stored by \cs{pdfdict_put:nnn} or
%   \cs{pdfdict_gput:nnn}
%   for \meta{name} and places this in the \meta{token list
%   variable}. If \meta{name} is not found
%   then the \meta{tl var} is set
%   to the special marker \cs{q_no_value}. \meta{name} is first converted
%   with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n}.  The \meta{token list
%   variable} is set within the current \TeX{} group.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-12-03]
%   {
%     \pdfdict_remove:nn, \pdfdict_gremove:nn
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{pdfdict_remove:nn}  \Arg{local dictionary}  \Arg{name}\\
%     \cs{pdfdict_gremove:nn} \Arg{global dictionary} \Arg{name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Removes  \meta{name} and its associated \meta{value} from
%   the \Arg{dictionary}
%   The removal is local from local dictionaries
%   and global from global dictionaries.
%   If \meta{name} is not found no change occurs,
%   \emph{i.e}~there is no need to test for the existence of a name before
%   trying to remove it. \meta{name} is first converted
%   with \cs{str_convert_pdfname:n}.
