Detailed Description

this class provides a simple C++ encapsulation layer for stdio FILE pointers.

All stdio functions on files are directly mapped into member functions. The handling of large files (64 bit file systems) is transparent. Instead of type off_t, fseek() and ftell() use offile_off_t which is a 64 bit type if available on the underlying platform. Similarly, getpos() and setpos() use type offile_fpos_t, which is defined appropriately. This class provides both fclose() and pclose(), but these are equivalent - the code always closes pipes with pclose() and files with fclose(). Finally, an abstraction for errno is provided. Error codes should always be retrieves using methods getLastError() and getLastErrorString() which on Unix platforms are based on errno and strerror/strerror_r, but may be based on other mechanisms on platforms where errno does not exist.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OFFile::OFFile ( FILE *  f)
inline

create object for given stdio FILE

Parameters
fstdio FILE

Member Function Documentation

int OFFile::eof ( ) const
inline

tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream, returning non-zero if it is set.

The end-of-file indicator can only be cleared by the function clearerr. This method is called eof, not feof, because feof() is a macro on some systems and, therefore, cannot be used as a method name.

Returns
non-zero if EOF, zero otherwise

References file_.

int OFFile::error ( )
inline

tests the error indicator for the stream, returning non-zero if it is set.

This method is named error, not ferror, because ferror() is a macro on some systems and, therefore, cannot be used as a method name. The error indicator can only be reset by the clearerr function.

Returns
non-zero if error flag is set, zero otherwise

References file_.

int OFFile::fclose ( )
inline

dissociates the named stream from its underlying file or set of functions.

If the stream was being used for output, any buffered data is written first, using fflush. Independent of the return value of this method, any further access (including another call to fclose()) to the stream maintained by this object results in undefined behaviour.

Returns
0 upon success, EOF otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

OFBool OFFile::fdopen ( int  fd,
const char *  modes 
)
inline

associates a stream with the existing file descriptor 'fd'.

The mode of the stream (one of the values "r", "r+", "w", "w+", "a", "a+") must be compatible with the mode of the file descriptor. The file position indicator of the new stream is set to that belonging to 'fd', and the error and end-of-file indicators are cleared. Modes "w" or "w+" do not cause truncation of the file. The file descriptor is not dup'ed, and will be closed when the stream created by fdopen is closed. The result of applying fdopen to a shared memory object is undefined.

Parameters
fdfile descriptor
modes"r", "w" or "a" with possible modifiers "+", "b"
Returns
true if stream was successfully created, false otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

int OFFile::fflush ( )
inline

forces a write of all user-space buffered data for the given output or update stream via the stream's underlying write function.

The open status of the stream is unaffected.

Returns
0 upon success, EOF otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

int OFFile::fgetc ( )
inline

reads the next character from stream and returns it as an unsigned char cast to an int, or EOF on end of file or error.

Returns
next character from stream or EOF

int OFFile::fgetpos ( offile_fpos_t *  pos)
inline

alternate interface equivalent to ftell, storing the current value of the file offset into the object referenced by pos.

On some non-UNIX systems an fpos_t object may be a complex object and these routines may be the only way to portably reposition a text stream.

Parameters
pospointer to offile_fpos_t structure
Returns
0 upon success, -1 otherwise in which case the error code is set.

char* OFFile::fgets ( char *  s,
int  n 
)
inline

reads in at most one less than n characters from stream and stores them into the buffer pointed to by s.

Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is read, it is stored into the buffer. A '\0' is stored after the last character in the buffer.

Parameters
spointer to buffer of size n
nbuffer size
Returns
pointer to string

References fgets(), and file_.

FILE* OFFile::file ( )
inline

return FILE pointer managed by this object.

This allows the user to call some stdio functions that are not encapsulated in this class (but possibly should be).

Returns
pointer to FILE structure managed by this object

References file_.

int OFFile::fileNo ( )
inline

returns the low-level file descriptor associated with the stream.

The spelling of this member function is different from stdio fileno() because on some systems (such as MinGW) fileno() is a macro and, therefore, cannot be used as a method name.

Returns
low-level file descriptor associated with stream

References file_.

OFBool OFFile::fopen ( const char *  filename,
const char *  modes 
)
inline

opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by path and associates a stream with it.

Parameters
filenamepath to file
modes"r", "w" or "a" with possible modifiers "+", "b"
Returns
true if stream was successfully created, false otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

OFBool OFFile::fopen ( const OFFilename filename,
const char *  modes 
)
inline

opens the file whose name is a conventional or wide character string pointed to by path and associates.

The wide character support is currently Windows-specific.

Parameters
filenameobject containing the filename path to file
modes"r", "w" or "a" with possible modifiers "+", "b"
Returns
true if stream was successfully created, false otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

int OFFile::fprintf ( const char *  format,
  ... 
)
inline

print formatted string into stream, see printf(3)

Parameters
formatformat string
...further parameters according to format string
Returns
number of characters printed

References file_, and vfprintf().

int OFFile::fputc ( int  c)
inline

writes the character c, cast to an unsigned char, to stream.

Parameters
ccharacter
Returns
the character written as an unsigned char cast to an int or EOF on error

int OFFile::fputs ( const char *  s)
inline

writes the string s to stream, without its trailing '\0'.

Parameters
sstring to be written
Returns
a non-negative number on success, or EOF on error.

References file_, and fputs().

Referenced by fputs().

size_t OFFile::fread ( void *  ptr,
size_t  size,
size_t  n 
)
inline

reads n elements of data, each size bytes long, from the stream, storing them at the location given by ptr.

Returns the number of items successfully read (i.e., not the number of characters). If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the return value is a short item count (or zero). fread does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use feof and ferror to determine which occurred.

Parameters
ptrpointer to buffer
sizesize of item
nnumber of items
Returns
number of items read

References file_.

OFBool OFFile::freopen ( const char *  filename,
const char *  modes 
)
inline

opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by path and associates the stream pointed maintained by this object with it.

The original stream (if it exists) is closed. The mode argument is used just as in the fopen function. The primary use of the freopen function is to change the file associated with a standard text stream (stderr, stdin, or stdout).

Parameters
filenamepath to file
modes"r", "w" or "a" with possible modifiers "+", "b"
Returns
true if stream was successfully created, false otherwise, in which case the error code is set.

References file_, popened_, and storeLastError().

int OFFile::fseek ( offile_off_t  off,
int  whence 
)
inline

sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed to by stream.

The new position, measured in bytes, is obtained by adding offset bytes to the position specified by whence. If whence is set to SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END, the offset is relative to the start of the file, the current position indicator, or end-of-file, respectively. A successful call to the fseek function clears the end-of- file indicator for the stream and undoes any effects of the ungetc function on the same stream.

Parameters
offoffset to seek to
whenceSEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END
Returns
0 upon success, -1 otherwise in which case the error code is set.

int OFFile::fsetpos ( offile_fpos_t *  pos)
inline

alternate interface equivalent to fseek (with whence set to SEEK_SET), setting the current value of the file offset from the object referenced by pos.

On some non-UNIX systems an fpos_t object may be a complex object and these routines may be the only way to portably reposition a text stream.

Parameters
pospointer to offile_fpos_t structure
Returns
0 upon success, -1 otherwise in which case the error code is set.

size_t OFFile::fwrite ( const void *  ptr,
size_t  size,
size_t  n 
)
inline

writes n elements of data, each size bytes long, to the stream, obtaining them from the location given by ptr.

Returns the number of items successfully written (i.e., not the number of characters). If an error occurs the return value is a short item count (or zero).

Parameters

int OFFile::pclose ( )
inline

waits for the associated process (created with popen) to terminate and returns the exit status of the command as returned by wait4.

In this implementation, fclose and pclose can be used synonymously.

Returns
process ID of the child which exited, or -1 on error, in which case the error code is set

References fclose().

Referenced by fclose().

OFBool OFFile::popen ( const char *  command,
const char *  modes 
)
inline

opens a process by creating a pipe, forking, and invoking the shell.

Since a pipe is by definition unidirectional, the type argument may specify only reading or writing, not both; the resulting stream is correspondingly read-only or write-only. If the object was already associated with another file or pipe, that one is closed.

Parameters
commandshell command line
modes"r" or "w"
Returns
true if pipe was successfully created, false otherwise

References fclose(), file_, popened_, and storeLastError().

void OFFile::rewind ( )
inline

sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed to by stream to the beginning of the file.

This is equivalent to fseek(0, SEEK_SET) except that the error indicator for the stream is also cleared.

References file_, and fseek().

void OFFile::setbuf ( char *  buf)
inline

The three types of buffering available are unbuffered, block buffered, and line buffered.

When an output stream is unbuffered, information appears on the destination file or terminal as soon as written; when it is block buffered many characters are saved up and written as a block; when it is line buffered characters are saved up until a newline is output or input is read from any stream attached to a terminal device (typically stdin). Normally all files are block buffered. if a stream refers to a terminal (as stdout normally does) it is line buffered. The standard error stream stderr is always unbuffered by default. This function allows to set the mode of the stream to unbuffered (if buf is NULL) or block buffered.

Parameters
bufpointer to buffer of size BUFSIZ as declared in cstdio, or NULL
Returns
0 upon success, nonzero otherwise, in which case the error code may be set
