Detailed Description

Traditional keypair config file parsing class.

This is used to get generic config data either from a /etc/xxx.conf, a windows style xxx.ini file, or a ~/.xxxrc file, and parses [] sections from the entire file at once.

ucommon::keyfile::keyfile

(

size_t

pagesize = 0

Member Function Documentation

keydata* ucommon::keyfile::begin

(

void

)

const [inline]

Get first keydata object, for iterative examinations.

Returns:

first key value in chain.

Definition at line 238 of file keydata.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

keydata* ucommon::keyfile::end

(

void

)

const [inline]

Get last keydata object, for iterative examinations.

Returns:

first key value in chain.

Definition at line 245 of file keydata.h.

keydata* ucommon::keyfile::get

(

const char *

section

)

const

Get a keydata section name.

Parameters:

section

name to look for.

Returns:

keydata section object if found, NULL if not.

keydata* ucommon::keyfile::get

(

void

)

const [inline]

Get the non-sectioned defaults if there are any.

Returns:

default key section.

Definition at line 231 of file keydata.h.

void ucommon::keyfile::load

(

const keyfile *

source

)

Load from an existing keyfile object.

Parameters:

source

to copy from.

void ucommon::keyfile::load

(

const keydata *

source

)

Load a single set of keys.

Parameters:

source

of keys to copy.

void ucommon::keyfile::load

(

const char *

path

)

Load (overlay) another config file over the currently loaded one.

This is used to merge key data, such as getting default values from a global config, and then overlaying a local home config file.

Parameters:

path	to load keys from into current object.

bool ucommon::keyfile::save

(

const char *

path

)

Save (write) a set of config keys to dist.

Parameters:

path	of file to save keys to.

Returns:

true on success.
