7
8This class represents a single file opened by \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem}.
9It provides more information than wxWindow's input stream
10(stream, filename, mime type, anchor).
11
12{\bf Note:} Any pointer returned by wxFSFile's member is valid
13only as long as wxFSFile object exists. For example a call to GetStream()
14doesn't {\it create} the stream but only returns the pointer to it. In
15other words after 10 calls to GetStream() you will obtain ten identical
16pointers.

37
38Constructor. You probably won't use it. See Notes for details.
39
40\wxheading{Parameters}
41
42\docparam{stream}{The input stream that will be used to access data}
43
44\docparam{location}{The full location (aka filename) of the file}
45
46\docparam{mimetype}{MIME type of this file. Mime type is either extension-based or HTTP Content-Type}
47
48\docparam{anchor}{Anchor. See \helpref{GetAnchor()}{wxfsfilegetanchor} for details.}
49
50If you are not sure of the meaning of these params, see the description of the GetXXXX()
51functions.

53\wxheading{Notes}
54
55It is seldom used by the application programmer but you will need it if
56you are writing your own virtual FS. For example you may need something
57similar to wxMemoryInputStream, but because wxMemoryInputStream
58doesn't free the memory when destroyed and thus passing a memory stream
59pointer into wxFSFile constructor would lead to memory leaks, you
60can write your own class derived from wxFSFile:
61
62\begin{verbatim}
63class wxMyFSFile : public wxFSFile
64{
65 private:
66 void *m_Mem;
67 public:
68 wxMyFSFile(.....)
69 ~wxMyFSFile() {free(m_Mem);}
70 // of course dtor is virtual ;-)
71};
72\end{verbatim}
73
74\membersection{wxFSFile::GetAnchor}\label{wxfsfilegetanchor}
75
76\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetAnchor}{\void}
77
78Returns anchor (if present). The term of {\bf anchor} can be easily
79explained using few examples:
80
81\begin{verbatim}
82index.htm#anchor /* 'anchor' is anchor */
83index/wx001.htm /* NO anchor here! */
84archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm#global /* 'global' */
85archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm /* NO anchor here! */
86\end{verbatim}
87
88Usually an anchor is presented only if the MIME type is 'text/html'.
89But it may have some meaning with other files;
90for example myanim.avi\#200 may refer to position in animation
91or reality.wrl\#MyView may refer to a predefined view in VRML.
92
93\membersection{wxFSFile::GetLocation}\label{wxfsfilegetlocation}
94
95\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetLocation}{\void}
96
97Returns full location of the file, including path and protocol.
98Examples :
99
100\begin{verbatim}
101http://www.wxwindows.org
102http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~vsla8348/wxhtml/archive.zip#zip:info.txt
103file:/home/vasek/index.htm
104relative-file.htm
105\end{verbatim}
106
107\membersection{wxFSFile::GetMimeType}\label{wxfsfilegetmimetype}
108
109\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetMimeType}{\void}
110
111Returns the MIME type of the content of this file. It is either
112extension-based (see wxMimeTypesManager) or extracted from
113HTTP protocol Content-Type header.
114
115\membersection{wxFSFile::GetModificationTime}\label{wxfsfilegetmodificationtime}
116
117\constfunc{wxDateTime}{GetModificationTime}{\void}
118
119Returns time when this file was modified.
120
121\membersection{wxFSFile::GetStream}\label{wxfsfilegetstream}
122
123\constfunc{wxInputStream*}{GetStream}{\void}
124
125Returns pointer to the stream. You can use the returned
126stream to directly access data. You may suppose
127that the stream provide Seek and GetSize functionality
128(even in the case of the HTTP protocol which doesn't provide
129this by default. wxHtml uses local cache to work around
130this and to speed up the connection).
