Constructor & Destructor Documentation

gmx::DataFileFinder::DataFileFinder

(

)

Constructs a default data file finder.

The constructed finder searches only in the directory specified by the global program context (see IProgramContext), and optionally in the current directory.

Does not throw.

Member Function Documentation

std::vector< DataFileInfo > gmx::DataFileFinder::enumerateFiles

(

const DataFileOptions &

options

)

const

Enumerates files in the data directories.

Parameters

[in]

options

Idenfies files to be searched for.

Returns

Information about each found file.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	if no such file can be found, and options specifies that an exception should be thrown.

Enumerates all files in the data directories that have the extension/suffix specified by the file name in options. Unlike findFile() and openFile(), this only works on files that are in the actual data directories, not for any entry within subdirectories of those. See DataFileInfo for details on what is returned for each found file. Files from the same directory will be returned as a continuous block in the returned vector.

std::string gmx::DataFileFinder::findFile

(

const DataFileOptions &

options

)

const

Finds a full path to a data file if found.

Parameters

[in]

options

Identifies the file to be searched for.

Returns

Full path to the data file, or an empty string if the file could not be found and exceptions were turned off.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	if no such file can be found, and options specifies that an exception should be thrown.

Searches for a data file in the search paths configured for the finder, as well as in the current directory if so required. Returns the full path to the first file found.

FilePtr gmx::DataFileFinder::openFile

(

const DataFileOptions &

options

)

const

Opens a data file (if found) in an RAII-style FILE handle.

Parameters

[in]

options

Identifies the file to be searched for.

Returns

The opened file handle, or NULL if the file could not be found and exceptions were turned off.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	if no such file can be found, and options specifies that an exception should be thrown, or there is an error opening the file (note that a file is skipped during the search if the user does not have rights to open the file at all).

See findFile() for more details.

void gmx::DataFileFinder::setSearchPathFromEnv

(

const char *

envVarName

)

Adds search path from an environment variable.

Parameters

[in]

envVarName

Name of the environment variable to use.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc

if out of memory.

If the specified environment variable is set, it is interpreted like a PATH environment variable on the platform (split at appropriate separators), and each path found is added to the search path this finder searches. The added paths take precedence over the default directory specified by the global program context, but the current directory is searched first.
