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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ucommon::keyfile::keyfile ( size_t  pagesize = 0  ) 

Create an empty key file ready for loading.

Parameters:
pagesize for memory paging.
ucommon::keyfile::keyfile ( const char *  path,
size_t  pagesize = 0 
)

Create a key file object from an existing config file.

Parameters:
path to load from.
pagesize for memory paging.

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.

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 ( void   )  const [inline]

Get the non-sectioned defaults if there are any.

Returns:
default key section.

Definition at line 231 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.
void ucommon::keyfile::load ( const keydata source  ) 

Load a single set of keys.

Parameters:
source of keys to copy.
void ucommon::keyfile::load ( const keyfile source  ) 

Load from an existing keyfile object.

Parameters:
source to copy from.
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.
