# NAME

`dc_parser_new`, `dc_parser_new2` — create a parser for a single dive

# LIBRARY

library “libdivecomputer”

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <libdivecomputer/parser.h>`

dc_status_t
`dc_parser_new`(dc_parser_t **parser, dc_device_t *device);

dc_status_t
`dc_parser_new2`(dc_parser_t **parser, dc_context_t *context, dc_descriptor_t *descriptor);

# DESCRIPTION

Creates a parser for a single dive extracted from the dive computer with dc_device_foreach(3). The parser operates on the data extracted: it does not touch the device directly to acquire data. Thus, there are two forms of invocation: `dc_parser_new`, which extracts relevant values from the device parameter; and `dc_parser_new2`, which is given device values (model, etc.) directly.

The pointer must later be freed with dc_parser_destroy(3).

# RETURN VALUES

These return `DC_STATUS_OK`, and fill in the parser pointer on success. Otherwise, an error is returned.
