## Detailed Description

class for reading and evaluating configuration files.

An object of this class reads upon construction a text config file and offers methods allowing to browse the configuration data

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ OFConfigFile()

OFConfigFile::OFConfigFile | ( | FILE * | infile,
|  | unsigned int | maxLevel = OFConfigFile_MaxLevel,
|  | char | commentChar = OFConfigFile_CommentChar,
|  | OFBool | orderedMode = OFFalse )

constructor.

Parameters

  infile | file from which the configuration data is to be read.
  maxLevel | depth of the tree maintained in this config file, default 2
  commentChar | character to start comment lines, default '#'
  orderedMode | mode flag for processing configuration files. See documentation of member variable orderedMode_

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ first_section()

void OFConfigFile::first_section | ( | unsigned int | level | ) |
| inline

sets cursor to the first entry at the given level (without changing the cursor position at higher levels).

Cursor must be valid at the level higher than the one specified. If no section is found the cursor becomes invalid at the specified level. The cursor always becomes invalid at all levels lower than specified.

Parameters

  level | cursor level

References anchor_, and cursor_.

## ◆ get_bool_value()

OFBool OFConfigFile::get_bool_value | ( | OFBool | defaultvalue | ) |

gets the value for the current entry and interprets it as a boolean value.

The keywords "yes", "no", "on", "off", "1", "0", "true" and false" are recognised in upper, lower and mixed case. If the value is different from any recognised keyword, the specified default is returned Cursor must point to a valid entry (i.e. be valid at level 0)

Parameters

  defaultvalue | default to be returned if no keyword is recognised of if the cursor is invalid.

Returns
  boolean value.

## ◆ get_entry()

const char * OFConfigFile::get_entry | ( | const char * | key0 | ) |

sets the cursor to the given level 0 keyword and returns the string value assigned to this keyword.

Parameters

  key0 | level 0 keyword

Returns
  value string if found, NULL otherwise

## ◆ get_keyword()

const char * OFConfigFile::get_keyword | ( | unsigned int | level | ) |

gets the name of the keyword at the specified level in the cursor path.

Cursor must be valid at the specified level.

Parameters

  level | cursor level

Returns
  keyword if valid, NULL otherwise.

## ◆ get_value()

const char * OFConfigFile::get_value | ( |  | ) |

gets the value for the current entry (level 0 keyword).

Cursor must point to a valid entry (i.e. be valid at level 0)

Returns
  value if valid, NULL otherwise.

## ◆ loadFile()

void OFConfigFile::loadFile | ( | FILE * | infile | ) |

load configuration file

Parameters

  infile | configuration file, must already be open for reading.

## ◆ next_section()

void OFConfigFile::next_section | ( | unsigned int | level | ) |
| inline

sets cursor to the next entry at the given level (without changing the cursor position at higher levels).

Cursor must be valid at the level specified. If no section is found the cursor becomes invalid at the specified level. The cursor always becomes invalid at all levels lower than specified.

Parameters

  level | cursor level

References cursor_.

## ◆ print()

void OFConfigFile::print | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | out | ) |

print the content of the configuration to an output stream

Parameters

  out | output stream to print to

## ◆ read_char()

char OFConfigFile::read_char | ( | FILE * | infile | ) |
| private

reads the next character from the input file, maintains the current line number and filters out comments.

Parameters

  infile | the file to be read

Returns
  next character

## ◆ read_entry()

void OFConfigFile::read_entry | ( | FILE * | infile | ) |
| private

reads a complete entry from the config file.

An entry can either be a section heading or an entry of the form key=value. The entry is inserted into the config data tree managed by this object.

Parameters

  infile | the file to be read

## ◆ read_keywordchar()

char OFConfigFile::read_keywordchar | ( | FILE * | infile | ) |
| private

reads the next non-whitespace character from the input file and returns as uppercase character.

Parameters

  infile | the file to be read

Returns
  next non-whitespace character

## ◆ section_valid()

OFBool OFConfigFile::section_valid | ( | unsigned int | level | ) | const
| inline

checks if the cursor points to a valid entry in the config data tree up to the the specified level.

Parameters

  level | tree level (0 for leaf)

Returns
  OFTrue if valid at the specified level.

References cursor_.

## ◆ select_section()

void OFConfigFile::select_section | ( | const char * | key1,
|  | const char * | key2 = NULL,
|  | const char * | key3 = NULL )

sets the cursor to a different section.

This "shortcut" method allows to specify multiple section levels at the same time. The cursor becomes invalid when the section is not found or if parameters for more level then present in the tree are specified.

Parameters

  key1 | level 1 section key, i.e. [KEY]
  key2 | level 2 section key, i.e. [[KEY]]. If omitted, section 2 remains unchanged.
  key2 | level 3 section key, i.e. [[[KEY]]]. If omitted, section 3 remains unchanged.

## ◆ set_section()

void OFConfigFile::set_section | ( | unsigned int | level,
|  | const char * | key )
| inline

sets cursor to the entry with keyword "key" at the given level.

Cursor must be valid at the level higher than the one specified. If the keyword exists more than once, the first occurrence is found. If the keyword does not exist, the cursor becomes invalid at the specified level. The cursor always becomes invalid at all levels lower than specified.

Parameters

  level | cursor level
  key | key value

References anchor_, and cursor_.

## ◆ store_char()

void OFConfigFile::store_char | ( | char | c | ) |
| private

writes a character to the string buffer maintained in "buffer".

Automatically resizes buffer if necessary.

Parameters

  c | character to be stored

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ orderedMode_

OFBool OFConfigFile::orderedMode_
| private

mode flag for reading configuration file.

If false, new entries to the tree containing the configuration file are just appended and not sorted. This allows multiple entries with the same keyword to be present, only the first of which will be found by search-by-keyword methods such as set_section, select_section or get_entry. In ordered mode, the tree is maintained in sorted order and a new entry will replace an older entry with identical keyword. This permits multiple configuration files to "overlay" each other but is somewhat slower when reading the configuration file.
