sofa::helper::system::FileRepository Class Reference

#include <FileRepository.h>

Detailed Description

Helper class to find files in a list of directories.

Each file is searched as follow:

1: Using the specified filename in current directory, or in the specified directory. If the filename does not start with "/", "./", or "../" : 2: In the directory path specified using addFirstPath method. 3: In the directory path specified using an environment variable (default to SOFA_DATA_PATH). 4: In the default directories relative to the main executable (default to ../share). 5: In the directory path specified using addLastPath method.

For file name starting with '/', './' or '../' only the first step is used.

A path is considered as a concatenation of directories separated by : on linux / mac and ; on windows

Attribute details

◆ directAccessProtocolPrefix

std::string sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::directAccessProtocolPrefix
protected

A protocol like http: or file: which will bypass the file search if found in the filename of the findFile* functions that directly returns the path as if the function succeeded Use case: add the prefix ram: as the direct protocol, this way the FileRepository will not try to look for the file on the hard disk and will directly return then the inherited FileAccess singleton enhanced with the capacity to find ram file will deliver a correct stream to this in-ram virtual file

◆ vpath

std::vector<std::string> sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::vpath
protected

Vector of paths.

◆ ~FileRepository()

sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::~FileRepository ( )

Function details

◆ addFirstPath()

void sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::addFirstPath ( const std::string &  path)

Adds a path to the front of the set of paths.

◆ addLastPath()

void sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::addLastPath ( const std::string &  path)

Adds a path to the back of the set of paths.

◆ cleanPath()

std::string sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::cleanPath ( const std::string &  path)
static

Replaces every occurrences of "//" by "/"

◆ clear()

void sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::clear ( )

Remove all known paths.

◆ displayPaths()

void sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::displayPaths ( ) const
inline

◆ entrySeparator()

static char sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::entrySeparator ( )
inlinestatic

OS-dependant character separing entries in list of paths.

◆ findFile()

bool sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::findFile ( std::string &  filename,
const std::string &  basedir = "",
std::ostream *  errlog = &std::cerr

Find file using the stored set of paths.

Parameters
basediroverride current directory (optional)
filenamerequested file as input, resolved file path as output
Returns
true if the file was found in one of the directories, false otherwise

◆ findFileFromFile()

bool sofa::helper::system::FileRepository::findFileFromFile ( std::string &  filename,

filenamerequested file as input, resolved file path as output
Returns
true if the file was found in one of the directories, false otherwise

Search file in a given path.
