Detailed Description

A class for automatically creating unique pseudo-random filenames.

Member Function Documentation

static void OFFilenameCreator::addLongToString	(	unsigned long	l,
		OFString &	s
	)		`[static, private]`

appends the lower 32 bit of the given number to the given string.

Always appends exactly 8 digits (padded with leading zeroes).

Parameters:

l	number to be appended to string
s	string to be added to

static unsigned int OFFilenameCreator::hashString ( const char * str ) [static]

creates hash value.

(i.e. random seed) from character string.

Parameters:

str	null-terminated string

OFBool OFFilenameCreator::makeFilename	(	unsigned int &	seed,
		const char *	dir,
		const char *	prefix,
		const char *	postfix,
		OFString &	filename
	)

creates a new unique filename.

Parameters:

seed	seed of random number generator
dir	directory in which the file name should be located
prefix	filename prefix
postfix	filename postfix
filename	string in which the filename (path) is returned
