   6 \section{\class{wxFSFile}}\label{wxfsfile}
   7
   8 This class represents a single file opened by \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem}.
   9 It 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
  13 only as long as wxFSFile object exists. For example a call to GetStream()
  14 doesn't {\it create} the stream but only returns the pointer to it. In
  15 other words after 10 calls to GetStream() you will obtain ten identical
  16 pointers.

  36 \func{}{wxFSFile}{\param{wxInputStream }{*stream}, \param{const wxString\& }{loc}, \param{const wxString\& }{mimetype}, \param{const wxString\& }{anchor}}
  37
  38 Constructor. 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
  50 If you are not sure of the meaning of these params, see the description of the GetXXXX()
  51 functions.

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