Detailed Description

Provides the implementation for accessing configuration sources.

KDELibs only provides an INI backend, but this class can be used to create plugins that allow access to other file formats and configuration systems.

Definition at line 55 of file kconfigbackend.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum KConfigBackend::ParseInfo

Return value from parseConfig()

Enumerator
ParseOk 
ParseImmutable 

the configuration was opened read/write

ParseOpenError 

the configuration is immutable

the configuration could not be opened

Definition at line 109 of file kconfigbackend.h.

enum KConfigBackend::ParseOption

Allows the behaviour of parseConfig() to be tuned.

Enumerator
ParseGlobal 
ParseDefaults 

entries should be marked as global

ParseExpansions 

entries should be marked as default

Definition at line 93 of file kconfigbackend.h.

enum KConfigBackend::WriteOption

Allows the behaviour of writeConfig() to be tuned.

Enumerator
WriteGlobal 

Definition at line 102 of file kconfigbackend.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KConfigBackend::~KConfigBackend ( )
virtual

Destroys the backend.

Definition at line 98 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

KConfigBackend::KConfigBackend ( )
protected

Definition at line 93 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

virtual KConfigBase::AccessMode KConfigBackend::accessMode ( ) const
pure virtual
Returns
the read/write status of the configuration object
See also
KConfigBase::AccessMode

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

BackendPtr KConfigBackend::create ( const KComponentData &  componentData,
const QString &  fileName = QString(),
const QString &  system = QString() 
)
static

Creates a new KConfig backend.

If no system is given, or the given system is unknown, this method tries to determine the correct backend to use.

Parameters
componentDatathe owning component
fileNamethe absolute file name of the configuration file
systemthe configuration system to use
Returns
a KConfigBackend object to be used with KConfig

Definition at line 64 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

virtual void KConfigBackend::createEnclosing ( )
pure virtual

Create the enclosing object of the configuration object.

For example, if the configuration object is a file, this should create the parent directory.

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

QString KConfigBackend::filePath ( ) const
Returns
the absolute path to the object

Definition at line 123 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

virtual bool KConfigBackend::isLocked ( ) const
pure virtual
Returns
true if the file is locked, false if it is not locked

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

virtual bool KConfigBackend::isWritable ( ) const
pure virtual

If isWritable() returns false, writeConfig() will always fail.

Returns
true if the configuration is writable, false if it is immutable

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

QDateTime KConfigBackend::lastModified ( ) const
Returns
the date and time when the object was last modified

Definition at line 103 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

virtual bool KConfigBackend::lock ( const KComponentData &  componentData)
pure virtual

Lock the file.

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

virtual QString KConfigBackend::nonWritableErrorMessage ( ) const
pure virtual

When isWritable() returns false, return an error message to explain to the user why saving configuration will not work.

The return value when isWritable() returns true is undefined.

Returns
a translated user-visible explanation for the configuration object not being writable

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

virtual ParseInfo KConfigBackend::parseConfig ( const QByteArray &  locale,
KEntryMap &  pWriteBackMap,
ParseOptions  options = ParseOptions() 
)
pure virtual

Read persistent storage.

Parameters
localethe locale to read entries for (if the backend supports localized entries)
pWriteBackMapthe KEntryMap where the entries are placed
options
See also
ParseOptions
Returns
See also
ParseInfo

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

void KConfigBackend::registerMappings ( const KEntryMap &  entryMap)
static

Registers mappings from directories/files to configuration systems.

Allows you to tell KConfigBackend that create() should use a particular backend for a particular file or directory.

Warning
currently does nothing
Parameters
entryMapthe KEntryMap to build the mappings from

Definition at line 60 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

virtual void KConfigBackend::setFilePath ( const QString &  path)
pure virtual

Set the file path.

Note
path MUST be absolute.
Parameters
paththe absolute file path

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

void KConfigBackend::setLastModified ( const QDateTime &  dt)
protected

Definition at line 108 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

void KConfigBackend::setLocalFilePath ( const QString &  file)
protected

Definition at line 128 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

void KConfigBackend::setSize ( qint64  sz)
protected

Definition at line 118 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

qint64 KConfigBackend::size ( ) const
Returns
the size of the object

Definition at line 113 of file kconfigbackend.cpp.

virtual void KConfigBackend::unlock ( )
pure virtual

Release the lock on the file.

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.

virtual bool KConfigBackend::writeConfig ( const QByteArray &  locale,
KEntryMap &  entryMap,
WriteOptions  options,
const KComponentData &  data 
)
pure virtual

Write the dirty entries to permanent storage.

Parameters
localethe locale to write entries for (if the backend supports localized entries)
entryMapthe KEntryMap containing the config object's entries.
options
See also
WriteOptions
Parameters
datathe component that requested the write
Returns
true if the write was successful, false if writing the configuration failed

Implemented in KConfigIniBackend.
