CollectionCollection is a FileCollection that consists of an arbitrary number of FileCollections.

With a CollectionCollection the user can use multiple FileCollections transparently, making it easy for a program to keep some of its files in a zip archive and others stored in ordinary files. CollectionCollection can be used to create a simple virtual filesystem, where all collections are mounted in /. If more than one collection contain a file with the same path only the one in the first added collection will be accessible.

Adds a collection.

Parameters

collection The collection to add.

Returns

true if the collection was added succesfully and the added collection is valid.

Definition at line 21 of file collcoll.cpp.

Adds the collection pointed to by collection. The CollectionCollection will call delete on the pointer when it is destructed, so the caller should make absolutely sure to only pass in a collection created with new and be sure to leave it alone after adding it. If the collection is not added false is returned and the caller remains responsible for the collection pointed to by collection.

Parameters

collection A pointer to the collection to add.

Returns

true if the collection was added succesfully and the added collection is valid.

Definition at line 31 of file collcoll.cpp.

FileCollection * zipios::CollectionCollection::clone () const [virtual]

Create a heap allocated clone of the object this method is called for. The caller is responsible for deallocating the clone when he is done with it.

Returns

A heap allocated copy of the object this method is called for.

Closes the FileCollection.

ConstEntries zipios::CollectionCollection::entries () const [virtual]

Returns a vector of const pointers to the entries in the FileCollection.

Returns

a ConstEntries containing the entries of the FileCollection.

Exceptions

InvalidStateException Thrown if the collection is invalid.

Reimplemented from zipios::FileCollection.

Definition at line 46 of file collcoll.cpp.

A protected getEntry member function, that not only finds an entry that match the name, if such an entry exists in the collection, it also returns, which collection it was found in.

Definition at line 123 of file collcoll.cpp.

ConstEntryPointer zipios::CollectionCollection::getEntry (const string & name, MatchPath matchpath = MATCH) const [virtual]

Returns a ConstEntryPointer to a FileEntry object for the entry with the specified name. To ignore the path part of the filename in search of a match, specify FileCollection::IGNORE as the second argument.

Parameters

name A string containing the name of the entry to get.
matchpath Speficy MATCH, if the path should match as well, specify IGNORE, if the path should be ignored.

Returns

A ConstEntryPointer to the found entry. The returned pointer equals zero if no entry is found.

Exceptions

InvalidStateException Thrown if the collection is invalid.

Reimplemented from zipios::FileCollection.

Definition at line 58 of file collcoll.cpp.

Returns a pointer to an opened istream for the specified FileEntry. It is the callers responsibility to delete the stream when he is done with it. Returns 0, if there is no such FileEntry in the FileCollection.

Parameters

entry A ConstEntryPointer to the FileEntry to get an istream to.

Returns

an open istream for the specified entry. The istream is allocated on heap and it is the users responsibility to delete it when he is done with it.

Exceptions

InvalidStateException Thrown if the collection is invalid.

Implements zipios::FileCollection.

Definition at line 72 of file collcoll.cpp.

Returns a pointer to an opened istream for the specified entry name. It is the callers responsibility to delete the stream when he is done with it. Returns 0, if there is no entry with the specified name in the FileCollection.

Parameters

matchpath Speficy MATCH, if the path should match as well, specify IGNORE, if the path should be ignored.

Returns

an open istream for the specified entry. The istream is allocated on heap and it is the users responsibility to delete it when he is done with it.

Exceptions

InvalidStateException Thrown if the collection is invalid.

CollectionCollection & zipios::CollectionCollection::inst () [inline], [static]

This static method provides a singleton instance of a CollectionCollection. The instance is instantiated the first time the method is called.

Returns

A pointer to a singleton CollectionCollection instance.

Definition at line 111 of file collcoll.h.

Copy assignment operator.

Definition at line 129 of file collcoll.h.

Returns the number in entries in all collections kept by the CollectionCollection object.
