Abstract base class for KDE configuration file loading/saving.
This class forms the base for all classes that implement some manner of loading/saving to configuration files. It is an abstract base class, meaning that you cannot directly instantiate objects of this class. As of right now, the only back end available is one to read/write to INI-style files, but in the future, other formats may be available, such as XML or a database.
KConfigBackEnd (KConfigBase *_config, const QString &_fileName,
const char * _resType, bool _useKDEGlobals)
| KConfigBackEnd |
Constructs a configuration back end.
Parameters:
_config | Specifies the configuration object which values will be passed to as they are read, or from where values to be written to will be obtained from. |
_fileName | The name of the file in which config data is stored. All registered configuration directories will be looked in in order of decreasing relevance. |
_resType | the resource type of the fileName specified, _if_ it is not an absolute path (otherwise this parameter is ignored). |
_useKDEGlobals | If true, the user's system-wide kdeglobals file will be imported into the config object. If false, only the filename specified will be dealt with. |
~KConfigBackEnd ()
| ~KConfigBackEnd |
[virtual]
Destructs the configuration backend.
bool parseConfigFiles ()
| parseConfigFiles |
[pure virtual]
Parses all configuration files for a configuration object. This method must be reimplemented by the derived classes.
Returns: Whether or not parsing was successful.
void sync (bool bMerge = true)
| sync |
[pure virtual]
Writes configuration data to file(s). This method must be reimplemented by the derived classes.
Parameters:
bMerge | Specifies whether the old config file already on disk should be merged in with the data in memory. If true, data is read off the disk and merged. If false, the on-disk file is removed and only in-memory data is written out. |
void changeFileName (const QString &_fileName, const char * _resType,
bool _useKDEGlobals)
| changeFileName |
Changes the filenames associated with this back end. You should probably reparse your config info after doing this.
Parameters:
_fileName | the new filename to use |
_resType | the resource type of the fileName specified, _if_ it is not an absolute path (otherwise this parameter is ignored). |
_useKDEGlobals | specifies whether or not to also parse the global KDE configuration files. |
KConfigBase::ConfigState getConfigState ()
| getConfigState |
[const virtual]
Returns the state of the app-config object.
See also: KConfig::getConfigState
QString fileName ()
| fileName |
[const]
Returns the filename as passed to the constructor.
Returns: the filename as passed to the constructor.
const char * resource ()
| resource |
[const]
Returns the resource type as passed to the constructor.
Returns: the resource type as passed to the constructor.
void setLocaleString (const QCString &_localeString)
| setLocaleString |
Set the locale string that defines the current language.
Parameters:
_localeString | the identifier of the language |
See also: KLocale
void setFileWriteMode (int mode)
| setFileWriteMode |
Set the file mode for newly created files.
Parameters:
mode | the filemode (as in chmod) |
