Member Function Documentation

GUTF8String GOS::basename	(	const GUTF8String &	filename,
		const char *	suffix = 0
	)			[static]

Returns the last component of file name filename#.

If the filename suffix matches argument suffix#, the filename suffix is removed. This function works like the unix command #/bin/basename#, but also supports the naming conventions of other operating systems.

Definition at line 182 of file GOS.cpp.

GUTF8String GOS::cwd

(

const GUTF8String &

dirname = GUTF8String()

)

[static]

Sets and returns the current working directory.

When argument dirname# is specified, the current directory is changed to dirname#. This function always returns the fully qualified name of the current directory.

GUTF8String GOS::getenv

(

const GUTF8String &

name

)

[static]

Read the named variable from the environment, and converts it to UTF8.

Definition at line 348 of file GOS.cpp.

void GOS::sleep

(

int

milliseconds

)

[static]

Sleeps during the specified time expressed in milliseconds.

Other threads can run while the calling thread sleeps.

Definition at line 286 of file GOS.cpp.

unsigned long GOS::ticks

(

)

[static]

Returns a number of elapsed milliseconds.

This number counts elapsed milliseconds since a operating system dependent date. This function is useful for timing code.
