Detailed Description

A non-POD version of "struct hostent" for thread- and memory-safe data access.

A class for various helper functions.

Wraps the contents of a "struct hostent" instance to a non-POD object containing RAII-style data (e.g. OFString instead of const char*). To handle the old pointer behavior, OFHostent objects can have an invalid state in which case all members are undefined. You can test whether an OFHostent object is invalid or not with the overloaded operators "operator !" and "operator OFBool". Therefore, it behaves quite the same way as pointers in this regard.

Note: The downside of this non-POD class is that it leads to some unnecessary string copy operations. The resulting performance penalty should be insignificant. However, implementing this class based on auto_ptr / unique_ptr or using c++11 move sematics would prevent that, if somebody thinks it is necessary.

This class is used to comprise a number of "global" helper functions.

◆ appendFilenameExtension()

static OFFilename& OFStandard::appendFilenameExtension	(	OFFilename &	result,
		const OFFilename &	fileName,
		const OFFilename &	fileExtension
	)

static

append a filename extension to the given filename

Parameters

result	string variable in which the resulting filename is stored. This name may contain wide characters if support is enabled and 'fileName' contains wide characters. In any case, the resulting string is stored with UTF-8 encoding (8-bit) as an alternative representation.
fileName	filename to which the extension should be appended. This name may contain wide characters if support is enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char ", "OFString" or "wchar_t " can also be passed directly to this parameter.
fileExtension	filename extension to be appended (e.g. ".bak"). It is converted to wide characters if 'fileName' contains wide characters.

Returns: reference to the resulting path name (same as 'result')

◆ atof()

static double OFStandard::atof	(	const char *	s,
		OFBool *	success = `NULL`
	)

static

converts a floating-point number from an ASCII decimal representation to internal double-precision format.

Unlike the atof() function defined in Posix, this implementation is not affected by a locale setting, the radix character is always assumed to be '.' This implementation does not set errno if the input cannot be parsed and it does not implement special handling for overflow/underflow. It does handle "NaN" and "Inf" (case insensitive; following characters are ignore). A return code indicates whether or not a successful conversion could be performed. The precision of this implementation is limited to approx. 9 decimal digits.

Note: The use of this implementation can be disabled by defining the macro DISABLE_OFSTD_ATOF at compile time; in this case, the locale dependent Posix implementation of sscanf is used and the application is responsible for making sure that the Posix locale is activated at all times.

Parameters

s A decimal ASCII floating-point number, optionally preceded by white space. Must have form "-I.FE-X", where I is the integer part of the mantissa, F is the fractional part of the mantissa, and X is the exponent. Either of the signs may be "+", "-", or omitted. Either I or F may be omitted, or both. The decimal point isn't necessary unless F is present. The "E" may actually be an "e". E and X may both be omitted (but not just one).

success pointer to return status code, may be NULL. if present, a status code is stored in the variable pointed to by this parameter. The status is OFTrue if a conversion could be performed and OFFalse if the string does not have the expected format.

Returns: floating-point equivalent of string. If a terminating character is found before any floating-point digits, then zero is returned.

◆ check32BitAddOverflow()

static OFBool OFStandard::check32BitAddOverflow	(	const Uint32	summand1,
		const Uint32	summand2
	)

inlinestatic

check whether the addition of two 32-bit integers yields in an overflow

Parameters

summand1	first integer value to be added
summand2	second integer value to be added

Returns: OFTrue if an overflow occurred during the addition, OFFalse otherwise

◆ checkDigits()

template<size_t Count>

static OFBool OFStandard::checkDigits ( const char * string )

static

checks if a string only contains valid decimal digits, i.e. 0-9.

Template Parameters

Count the number of characters (bytes) to check.

Parameters

string a pointer to a character array to check.

Returns: OFTrue if all characters are valid decimal digits, OFFalse if at least one non-digit character is encountered.

◆ checkForMarkupConversion()

static OFBool OFStandard::checkForMarkupConversion	(	const OFString &	sourceString,
		const OFBool	convertNonASCII = `OFFalse`,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

check whether conversion to a HTML/XML mnenonic string is required.

This check can be performed before convertToMarkupStream() or convertToMarkupString() is called in order to speed up the process in case the conversion is not required.

Parameters

sourceString	source string to be checked. May contain one or more NULL bytes.
convertNonASCII	convert non-ASCII characters (< #32 and >= #127) to numeric value (&#nnn;) if OFTrue
maxLength	maximum number of characters from the source string to be converted. A value of 0 means all characters.

Returns: OFTrue if markup conversion is required, OFFalse otherwise

◆ checkForOctalConversion()

static OFBool OFStandard::checkForOctalConversion	(	const OFString &	sourceString,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

check whether conversion to an octal format is required.

This check can be performed before convertToOctalStream() or convertToOctalString() is called in order to speed up the process in case the conversion is not required.

Parameters

sourceString	source string to be checked. May contain one or more NULL bytes.
maxLength	maximum number of characters from the source string to be converted. A value of 0 means all characters.

Returns: OFTrue if markup conversion is required, OFFalse otherwise

◆ combineDirAndFilename() [1/2]

static OFString& OFStandard::combineDirAndFilename	(	OFString &	result,
		const OFString &	dirName,
		const OFString &	fileName,
		const OFBool	allowEmptyDirName = `OFFalse`
	)

static

combine the given directory and file name.

Normalizes the directory name and appends the file name (with a path separator) if not empty. If both 'dirName' and 'fileName' are empty strings and the flag 'allowEmptyDirName' is OFFalse the resulting path name is set to "." (current directory). If 'dirName' is "." and the flag 'allowEmptyDirName' is OFTrue an empty directory name is used. NB: This function neither checks whether the given 'dirName' exists nor whether the resulting path name points to a valid or existing file name. Furthermore, the value of 'dirName' is ignored if 'fileName' starts with a path separator.

Note: This method is provided for reasons of backward compatibility. Internally, the following method (OFFilename version) is used.

Parameters

result	string variable in which the resulting path name is stored
dirName	directory name to be combined with the file name
fileName	file name to be combined with the directory name
allowEmptyDirName	flag indicating whether an empty directory name is allowed

Returns: reference to the resulting path name (same as 'result')

◆ combineDirAndFilename() [2/2]

		const OFFilename &	dirName,
		const OFFilename &	fileName,
		const OFBool	allowEmptyDirName = `OFFalse`
	)

static

combine the given directory and file name.

Normalizes the directory name and appends the file name (with a path separator) if not empty. If both 'dirName' and 'fileName' are empty strings and the flag 'allowEmptyDirName' is OFFalse the resulting path name is set to "." (current directory). If 'dirName' is "." and the flag 'allowEmptyDirName' is OFTrue an empty directory name is used. NB: This function neither checks whether the given 'dirName' exists nor whether the resulting path name points to a valid or existing file name. Furthermore, the value of 'dirName' is ignored if 'fileName' starts with a path separator.

Parameters

result	string variable in which the resulting path name is stored. This name may contain wide characters if support is enabled and 'dirName' as well as 'fileName' contain wide characters. In any case, the resulting string is stored with UTF-8 encoding (8-bit) as an alternative representation.
dirName	directory name to be combined with the file name. This name may contain wide characters if support is enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char ", "OFString" or "wchar_t " can also be passed directly to this parameter.
fileName	file name to be combined with the directory name. Should contain wide characters if and only if 'dirName' contains wide characters.
allowEmptyDirName	flag indicating whether an empty directory name is allowed

Returns: reference to the resulting path name (same as 'result')

		const E_MarkupMode	markupMode = `MM_XML`,
		const OFBool	newlineAllowed = `OFFalse`,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

convert character string to a HTML/XHTML/XML mnenonic stream.

Characters with special meaning for HTML/XHTML/XML (e.g. '<' and '&') are replaced by the corresponding mnenonics (e.g. "<" and "&"). If flag 'convertNonASCII' is OFTrue, all characters < #32 and >= #127 are also converted (useful if only HTML 3.2 is supported which does not allow to specify the character set). In HTML 3.2 mode, the quotation mark (") is converted to """ instead of """ because the latter entity is not defined. In HTML mode, the apostrophe sign (') is converted to "'" instead of "'" for the same reason.

Parameters

out	stream used for the HTML/XHTML/XML mnenonic output
sourceString	source string to be converted. May contain one or more NULL bytes.
convertNonASCII	convert non-ASCII characters (< # 32 and >= #127) to numeric value (&#nnn;) if OFTrue
markupMode	convert to HTML, HTML 3.2, XHTML or XML markup. LF and CR are encoded as " " and " " in XML mode, the flag 'newlineAllowed' has no meaning in this case.
newlineAllowed	optional flag indicating whether newlines are allowed or not. If they are allowed, the text "<br>" (HTML) or "<br />" (XHTML) is used, "¶" otherwise. The following combinations are accepted: LF, CR, LF CR, CF LF.
maxLength	maximum number of characters from the source string to be converted. A value of 0 means all characters.

Returns: status, always returns EC_Normal

◆ convertToMarkupString()

		const OFBool	newlineAllowed = `OFFalse`,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

convert character string to a HTML/XHTML/XML mnenonic string.

Characters with special meaning for HTML/XHTML/XML (e.g. '<' and '&') are replaced by the corresponding mnenonics (e.g. "<" and "&"). If flag 'convertNonASCII' is OFTrue, all characters < #32 and >= #127 are also converted (useful if only HTML 3.2 is supported which does not allow to specify the character set). In HTML 3.2 mode, the quotation mark (") is converted to """ instead of """ because the latter entity is not defined. In HTML mode, the apostrophe sign (') is converted to "'" instead of "'" for the same reason.

Parameters

sourceString	source string to be converted. May also contain one or more NULL bytes.
markupString	reference to character string where the result should be stored
convertNonASCII	convert non-ASCII characters (< # 32 and >= #127) to numeric value (&#nnn;) if OFTrue

		const OFString &	sourceString,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

convert character string to an octal format stream.

All non-ASCII and control characters (code < #32 and >= #127) are converted to their octal representation, i.e. to '\ooo' where 'ooo' are the three octal digits of the character. All other characters are output as is. See section 6.1.2.3 in DICOM PS 3.5.

Parameters

out	stream used for the output
sourceString	source string to be converted. May contain one or more NULL bytes.

		OFString &	octalString,
		const size_t	maxLength = `0`
	)

static

convert character string to an octal format string.

All non-ASCII and control characters (code < #32 and >= #127) are converted to their octal representation, i.e. to '\ooo' where 'ooo' are the three octal digits of the character. All other characters are output as is. See section 6.1.2.3 in DICOM PS 3.5.

Parameters

◆ copyFile()

static OFBool OFStandard::copyFile	(	const OFFilename &	sourceFilename,
		const OFFilename &	destFilename
	)

static

copy an existing file to a new file

Parameters

sourceFilename	name of the existing file (including directory) to be copied. This filename may contain wide characters if support enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char ", "OFString" or "wchar_t " can also be passed directly to this parameter.
destFilename	name of the new file (including directory) to be created as a copy. This filename may contain wide characters if support enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char ", "OFString" or "wchar_t " can also be passed directly to this parameter.

Returns: OFTrue if copying the file was successful, OFFalse otherwise. On most systems, the 'errno' variable is also set to a system-specific error code in case of failure.

◆ createDirectory()

static OFCondition OFStandard::createDirectory	(	const OFFilename &	dirName,
		const OFFilename &	rootDir
	)

static

create a directory (including sub-directories) if it does not yet exist.

In other words, this function creates directories recursively, i.e. with all sub-components.

Parameters

dirName	name of the directory to be created. This name may contain wide characters if support is enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char ", "OFString" or "wchar_t " can also be passed directly to this parameter.
rootDir	optional name of a root directory (prefix of 'dirName') that already exists and that can, therefore, be skipped during the creation of sub-directories. Should contain wide characters if and only if 'dirName' contains wide characters.

Returns: status, EC_Normal if successful (directory created or already exists), an error code otherwise

◆ decodeBase64()

static size_t OFStandard::decodeBase64	(	const OFString &	data,
		unsigned char *&	result
	)

static

decode "Base64" encoded string.

Any character that does not belong to the Base64 alphabet (0..9, A..Z, a..z, + and /) is ignored when decoding the input string. This is especially true for line breaks which are usually contained in MIME (RFC 2045) encoded streams (see above). The first occurrence of a '=' character is taken as evidence that the end of the data has been reached. NB: The memory buffer in which the binary output is stored is allocated inside this function and has to to be freed (using "delete[]") by the caller! Do not pass a pointer to an already allocated buffer to this function, the caller does not know the exact size anyway.

Parameters

data	Base64 encoded input data (possibly padded with '=' at the end)
result	receives pointer to resulting buffer with binary data (big endian encoded)

Returns: length of the resulting binary data (0 if an error occurred, in this case the buffer is deleted internally)

◆ deleteFile()

static OFBool OFStandard::deleteFile ( const OFFilename & filename )

static

delete given file from filesystem

Parameters

filename name of the file (including directory) to delete. This filename may contain wide characters if support enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char *", "OFString" or "wchar_t *" can also be passed directly to this parameter.

Returns: OFTrue if deleting the file was successful, OFFalse otherwise. On most systems, the 'errno' variable is also set to a system-specific error code in case of failure.

◆ dirExists()

static OFBool OFStandard::dirExists ( const OFFilename & dirName )

static

check whether the given directory exists.

This function also checks that the specified path points to directory and not to a file (or the like).

Parameters

dirName name of the directory to be checked. This directory name may contain wide characters if support enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char *", "OFString" or "wchar_t *" can also be passed directly to this parameter.

Returns: OFTrue if directory exists, OFFalse otherwise

◆ dropPrivileges()

static OFCondition OFStandard::dropPrivileges ( )

static

On Posix-like platform, this method executes setuid(getuid()), which causes the application to revert from root privileges to those of the calling user when the program is installed as setuid root.

DCMTK command line tools that open a socket for incoming DICOM network connections will call this method immediately after opening the socket. Since DICOM by default operates on port 104, which on Posix platforms requires root privileges to open, this ensures that the socket can be opened, yet operation continues with the (hopefully) limited rights of the calling user. On non-Posix platforms, this method does nothing and returns success.

Returns: success or failure. This method can fail if the kernel has been configured to only permit a certain number of processes to be created for each user, and the calling user already has the maximum number of processes running. In this case, the application should terminate since otherwise it would continue to run with full root privileges.

◆ encodeBase64() [1/2]

static OFCondition OFStandard::encodeBase64	(	STD_NAMESPACE ostream &	out,
		const unsigned char *	data,
		const size_t	length,
		const size_t	width = `0`
	)

static

encode binary data according to "Base64" as described in RFC 2045 (MIME).

Basic algorithm: groups of 3 bytes from the binary input are coded as groups of 4 bytes in the textual output. The input data is 'padded' with zeros to create a length that is an even multiple of 3. A special character ('=') is used to denote padding so that the output can be decoded back to its exact size. If the input data is NULL an error code (EC_IllegalParameter) is returned.

Parameters

out	output stream used for the base64 encoded data
data	buffer with binary data to be encoded (big endian required!)
length	length of the input data buffer (in bytes)
width	maximum number of characters per line in the output stream (default: 0 = no line breaks, typical for MIME = 72)

Returns: status, EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

◆ encodeBase64() [2/2]

static const OFString& OFStandard::encodeBase64	(	const unsigned char *	data,
		const size_t	length,
		OFString &	result,
		const size_t	width = `0`
	)

static

encode binary data according to "Base64" as described in RFC 2045 (MIME).

Basic algorithm: groups of 3 bytes from the binary input are coded as groups of 4 bytes in the textual output. The input data is 'padded' with zeros to create a length that is an even multiple of 3. A special character ('=') is used to denote padding so that the output can be decoded back to its exact size. If the input data is NULL an empty string is returned.

Parameters

data	buffer with binary data to be encoded (big endian required!)
length	length of the input data buffer (in bytes)
result	reference to resulting string variable (Base64 encoded)
width	maximum number of characters per line in the output string (default: 0 = no line breaks, typical for MIME = 72)

Returns: reference to the resulting string

◆ extractDigits()

template<typename T , size_t Count>

static T OFStandard::extractDigits ( const char * )

static

extracts digits from a string and converts them to the given integer number type.

The result is similar to calling atoi, but extractDigits does not verify all characters are digits and does not require zero terminated strings. It is meant to be used in conjunction with OFStandard::checkDigits(). extractDigits does not handle sign characters ('+' and '-').

Template Parameters

T	the type of the resulting value, e.g. unsigned int. Must be a valid integer type, i.e. OFnumeric_limits<T>::is_integer must be OFTrue.
Count	the number of digits to extract. Must be greater zero and less or equal to OFnumeric_limits<T>::digits10

Parameters

string a pointer to a character array to extract digits from.

Returns: a value of type T that is equivalent to the number represented by the digits.

Warning: The results are unspecified if the given string contains non-digit characters.

◆ fileExists()

static OFBool OFStandard::fileExists ( const OFFilename & fileName )

static

check whether the given file exists.

This function also checks that the specified path points to file and not to a directory (or the like).

Parameters

fileName name of the file to be checked. This filename may contain wide characters if support enabled. Since there are various constructors for the OFFilename class, a "char *", "OFString" or "wchar_t *" can also be passed directly to this parameter.

Returns: OFTrue if file exists, OFFalse otherwise

◆ ftoa()

static void OFStandard::ftoa	(	char *	target,
		size_t	targetSize,
		double	value,
		unsigned int	flags = `0`,
		int	width = `0`,
		int	precision = `-1`
	)

static

formats a floating-point number into an ASCII string.

This function works similar to sprintf(), except that this implementation is not affected by a locale setting. The radix character is always '.'. This implementation guarantees that the given string size is always respected by using strlcpy to copy the formatted string into the target buffer.

Note: The use of this implementation can be disabled by defining the macro DISABLE_OFSTD_FTOA at compile time; in this case, the locale dependent Posix implementation of sprintf is used and the application is responsible for making sure that the Posix locale is activated at all times.

Parameters

target	pointer to target string buffer
targetSize	size of target string buffer
value	double value to be formatted
flags	processing flags. Any of the flags defined below can be combined by bit-wise or.
width	width from format (%8d), or 0
precision	precision from format (%.3d), or -1

◆ getDirNameFromPath() [1/2]

static

get directory name component from given path name.

Extracts the substring before the last path separator. If there is no path separator in the given path name, the value of 'pathName' is returned by default; if 'assumeDirName' is OFFalse, an empty string is returned. NB: This function neither checks whether the given 'pathName' exists nor whether the resulting name points to a valid or existing directory.

Note: This method is provided for reasons of backward compatibility. Internally, the following method (OFFilename version) is used.

Parameters

result	string variable in which the resulting directory name is stored

Parameters

errnum	error code to be converted
buf	buffer which is used to store the result string (if supported)
buflen	size if the buffer in bytes

Returns: pointer to string describing the error code. Please note that depending on the implementation of the function used, the result may or may not be a pointer to buf. The return value can also be NULL if the buffer is invalid.

◆ strlcat()

static size_t OFStandard::strlcat	(	char *	dst,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	siz
	)

inlinestatic

This function appends the NUL-terminated string src to the end of dst.

It will append at most size - strlen(dst) - 1 bytes, NUL- terminating the result. It is designed to be a safer, more consistent, and less error-prone replacement for strncat(3). strlcat takes the full size of the buffer (not just the length) and guarantees to NUL-terminate the result (as long as size is larger than 0). Note that you should include a byte for the NUL in size. Also note that strlcat only operates on true C strings, i. e. dst and src must be NUL-terminated.

Parameters

dst	destination buffer of size siz, must not be NULL
src	source string, must not be NULL
siz	size of destination buffer

Returns: the total length of the string the function tried to create, i.e. the initial length of dst plus the length of src. While this may seem somewhat confusing it was done to make truncation detection simple.

◆ strlcpy()

static size_t OFStandard::strlcpy	(	char *	dst,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	siz
	)

inlinestatic

This function copies up to size - 1 characters from the NUL- terminated string src to dst, NUL-terminating the result.

It is designed to be a safer, more consistent, and less error-prone replacement for strncpy(3). strlcpy takes the full size of the buffer (not just the length) and guarantees to NUL-terminate the result (as long as size is larger than 0). Note that you should include a byte for the NUL in size. Also note that strlcpy only operates on true C strings, i. e. src must be NUL-terminated.

Parameters

dst	destination buffer of size siz, must not be NULL
src	source string, must not be NULL
siz	size of destination buffer

Returns: the total length of the string the function tried to create, i.e. strlen(src). While this may seem somewhat confusing it was done to make truncation detection simple.

◆ trimString()

static void OFStandard::trimString	(	const char *&	pBegin,
		const char *&	pEnd
	)

static

An utility function that finds a substring within a string that does not contain leading and trailing spaces and null bytes, effectively trimming the string without unnecessary copies.

Parameters

pBegin	a reference to a pointer to the beginning of the string.
pEnd	a reference to a pointer to the end of the string (the first byte behind the string).

Precondition: pBegin <= pEnd

trimString() increments pBegin and decrements pEnd until either both point to a non-null and non-space character (the position after it in case of pEnd) or both become equal (in case the string only contains spaces and null bytes).
