1. Creation/Destruction
=======================
	
	To export a file you first need to create an StfExportOptions_t
	struct, this allows you to customize the export :

		StfExportOptions_t *export_options;

		export_options = stf_export_options_new ();

	After use you must free the struct by calling :

		stf_export_options_free (export_options)


2.1 Terminator Type
===================
	
	The terminator type is the character sequence used to terminate a line, you
	can choose from 3 stock options, namely :

		TERMINATOR_TYPE_LINEFEED           Unix (\n)
		TERMINATOR_TYPE_RETURN             Macintosh (\r)
		TERMINATOR_TYPE_RETURN_LINEFEED    Windows (\r\n)

2.2 Cell Separator
==================

	This is used to separate cells. You can set it to anything you'd like.

	Example :

		This,is,an,example
                    |  |  |
                    -----------------< Cell separator

2.3 Quoting mode
================
	
	This is used to control _when_ to quote. You can choose
	from three stock options, namely :

		QUOTING_MODE_AUTO     Automatically qoute where needed
		QUOTING_MODE_ALWAYS   Always quote
		QUOTING_MODE_NEVER    Never quote
2.4 Quoting char
	
	This is the character used for quoting..
	(Normally this should be set to " )

2.5 Sheet list
==============
	
	The sheet list contains all sheets to be exported.
	
	You can add sheets by calling :
		
		Sheet *sheet;

		stf_export_options_sheet_list_add (export_options, sheet);
	
	You can clear the list by calling :

		stf_export_options_sheet_list_clear (export_options);
	
3. Callback routine
===================

	The callback routine is called once data has to be written.
	You _must_ set this, if you do not the stf exporter will not
	know where to export the data too..

	You can set it by calling :
	
		FILE *file;
		
		stf_export_options_set_write_callback (export_options, my_write_func, file);

	The callback routine should look like this :

		my_write_func (char *string, gpointer data)
		{
			/* write string to file
			 * (in this case @data is a FILE* pointer
			 * so fputs (string, data) would be feasible
			 */
		}

4. Exporting
============

	After having set all the options, you can call :

		stf_export (export_options);

	This will call the callback routine (see 3) multiple times.
