Detailed Description

This class is only to allow an application to output to a native command prompt. It is also the only VFile derivative that can be used by multiple threads (I'm using locked stdio). VFileSystem defaults to using StdFiles for stdIn(), stdOut() and stdErr(). In general a user of this library should never create one. Use PhysFSFiles, as returned by VFileSystem instead.

virtual void LDK::StdFile::openRead	(	const char *	fileName,
		bool	text = false
	)			[virtual]

Open a file for reading. Genrally only called by the user for re-opening files.

Parameters:

	fileName	The name of the file to open.
	text	Open this file in text (true) or binary (false) mode.

Exceptions:

IOError

if this file cannot be opened.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual void LDK::StdFile::openWrite	(	const char *	fileName,
		bool	text = false
	)			[virtual]

Open a file for writing. Genrally only called by the user for re-opening files.

Parameters:

	fileName	The name of the file to open.
	text	Open this file in text (true) or binary (false) mode.

Exceptions:

IOError

if this file cannot be opened.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual void LDK::StdFile::openAppend	(	const char *	fileName,
		bool	text = false
	)			[virtual]

Open a file for appending (writing at the end). Genrally only called by the user for re-opening files.

Parameters:

	fileName	The name of the file to open.
	text	Open this file in text (true) or binary (false) mode.

Exceptions:

IOError

if this file cannot be opened.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int64 LDK::StdFile::length

(

)

[virtual]

Gets the length of the file in bytes. Use with care in text mode, as may not take into account strange line terminations like on windows.

Returns:

The length of the file in bytes or -1 if it can't be detrmined for some reason.

Exceptions:

IOError

If this file was not open or the underlying file handle is invalid.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual void LDK::StdFile::close

(

)

[virtual]

Close this file.

Exceptions:

IOError

If this file was not open or the underlying file handle is invalid.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual bool LDK::StdFile::eof

(

)

[virtual]

Test for end of file condition.

Returns:

true if at the end of the file, else false.

Exceptions:

IOError

If the file handle is invalid.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int64 LDK::StdFile::tell

(

)

[virtual]

Determine the current file position.

Returns:

the current position.

Exceptions:

IOError

if the file handle is invalid or an error occurred.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int64 LDK::StdFile::seek	(	int64	offset,
		int	whence
	)			[virtual]

Seek to a new position within this file.

Parameters:

	offset	The distance to seek.
	whence	May be SEEK_CUR (seek from current pos) or SEEK_END (seek from the end of the file). Anything else means seek from the beginning.

Exceptions:

	IOError	If the file handle is invalid or an error occurred.
	EofError	On an attempt to seek past the start or end of the file.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual void LDK::StdFile::flush

(

)

[virtual]

Flush any buffers associated with this file.

Exceptions:

IOError

if the file handle is invalid or an error occurred.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int64 LDK::StdFile::read	(	void *	buffer,
		uint32	objCount,
		uint32	objSize = 1
	)			[virtual]

Read a number of objects from this file.

Parameters:

	buffer	The buffer to store read data into.
	objCount	The number of objects to read.
	objSize	The size in bytes of each object.

Returns:

The number of objects read.

Exceptions:

	IOError	If the file handle is invalid or the file is not readable.
	ArgumentError	If objCount or objSize is 0.
	EofError	On an attempt to read past the end of the file.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int32 LDK::StdFile::getc

(

)

[virtual]

Read a single character (byte) from this file. Mostly used in text mode.

Returns:

The character read.

Exceptions:

	IOError	if the file handle is invalid or the file is not readable.
	EofError	On an attempt to read past the end of the file.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int32 LDK::StdFile::ungetc

(

char

c

)

[virtual]

Push one character back into the stream. Mostly used in text mode for programming language lexers and parsers. Character is lost by seeking or flushing, and only one character may be held in the pushed back buffer at a time.

Parameters:

c

The character to push back.

Returns:

The character pushed back.

Exceptions:

	IOError	If the file handle is invalid or the file is not readable.
	EofError	If the file position is at the beginning of the file.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual const char* LDK::StdFile::gets	(	char *	buffer,
		uint32	size
	)			[virtual]

Read at most 1 less than size characters into buffer

Parameters:

	buffer	The buffer to store read data into.
	size	The size of the buffer in characters.

Returns:

The number of characters read.

Exceptions:

	IOError	If the file handle is invalid or the file is not readable.
	EofError	If the file ends before whitespace or size-1 characters.

Implements LDK::VFile.

virtual int64 LDK::StdFile::write	(	const void *	buffer,
		uint32	objCount,
		uint32	objSize = 1
	)			[virtual]

Parameters:

	buffer	The buffer that holds the data to be written.
	objCount	The number of objects to be written.
	objSize	The size of each object to be written.

Returns:

The number of objects written.

Exceptions:
