Detailed Description

this class manages the lifetime of a temporary file.

The file will be created when needed and automatically be deleted by the destructor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OFTempFile::OFTempFile ( unsigned int  flags = O_RDWR,
const OFString dir = "",
const OFString prefix = "",
const OFString postfix = ".tmp" 
)

default constructor, create a temporary file with a random name.

The file will be automatically deleted.

Parameters
flagsadditional flags to pass to open() as its third argument.
dirthe directory in which the file should be created. The default is a directory suitable for temporary files.
prefixthis string is prepended to the name of the temporary file.
postfixthis string is appended to the name of the temporary file.
Returns
EC_Normal if a file could be created.
See also
getStatus() to know if a file was successfully created

Member Function Documentation

static OFCondition OFTempFile::createFile ( OFString fileName,
int *  fd_out = NULL,
unsigned int  flags = O_RDWR,
const OFString dir = "",
const OFString prefix = "",
const OFString postfix = ".tmp" 
)
static

Create a new temporary file.

Parameters
fileNameafter this call, this will contain the name of the file that was created
fd_outif not NULL, this will be set to a file descriptor for this file
flagsadditional flags to pass to open() as its third argument
dirthe directory in which the file should be created. The default is a directory suitable for temporary files.
prefixthis string is prepended to the name of the temporary file.
postfixthis string is appended to the name of the temporary file.
Returns
EC_Normal if a file could be created.
int OFTempFile::getFileHandle ( ) const
inline

gets the file descriptor of the temporary file.

If no temporary file was created, this will return -1. The returned fd is still owned by this class and will be closed later.

Returns
file descriptor for the temporary file
const char* OFTempFile::getFilename ( ) const
inline

gets the filename of the temporary file.

If no temporary file was created, this will return an empty string.

Returns
filename of the temporary file
static void OFTempFile::getTempPath ( OFString sPath)
static

Return the system-specific path for storing temporary files.

Parameters
sPathwill be set to the path on return.
void OFTempFile::stealFile ( OFBool  dontCloseHandle = OFFalse)

steals the created temporary file from this class.

This means that the file won't be deleted. However, by default the file handle is closed.

Parameters
dontCloseHandleif true, the file handle is not closed.
