23 This class provides an interface for opening files on different file systems.
24 It can handle absolute and/or local filenames.
26 It uses a system of handlers (see wxFileSystemHandler) to provide access to
27 user-defined virtual file systems.
32 @see wxFileSystemHandler, wxFSFile, @ref overview_fs
34 class wxFileSystem
: public wxObject
43 This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers
44 (see wxFileSystemHandler) which provide access to virtual FS.
46 Note that if two handlers for the same protocol are added, the last
47 added one takes precedence.
51 wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new My_FS_Handler);
53 This is because (a) AddHandler is a static method, and (b) the
54 handlers are deleted in wxFileSystem's destructor so that you
55 don't have to care about it.
57 static void AddHandler(wxFileSystemHandler handler
);
60 Sets the current location. @a location parameter passed to OpenFile() is
61 relative to this path.
63 @remarks Unless @a is_dir is @true the @a location parameter is not the
64 directory name but the name of the file in this directory.
66 All these commands change the path to "dir/subdir/":
69 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir/xh.htm");
70 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir", true);
71 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir/", true);
76 f = fs->OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'hello.htm'
77 fs->ChangePathTo("subdir/folder", true);
78 f = fs->OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'subdir/folder/hello.htm' !!
82 the new location. Its meaning depends on the value of is_dir
84 if @true location is new directory.
85 If @false (the default) location is file in the new directory.
87 void ChangePathTo(const wxString
& location
, bool is_dir
= false);
90 Converts a wxFileName into an URL.
92 @see URLToFileName(), wxFileName
94 static wxString
FileNameToURL(const wxFileName
& filename
);
97 Looks for the file with the given name @a file in a colon or semi-colon
98 (depending on the current platform) separated list of directories in @a path.
100 If the file is found in any directory, returns @true and the full path
101 of the file in @a str, otherwise returns @false and doesn't modify @a str.
104 Receives the full path of the file, must not be @NULL
106 wxPATH_SEP-separated list of directories
108 the name of the file to look for
110 bool FindFileInPath(wxString str
, const wxString
& path
,
111 const wxString
& file
);
114 Works like ::wxFindFirstFile().
116 Returns the name of the first filename (within filesystem's current path)
117 that matches @a wildcard.
120 The wildcard that the filename must match
122 One of wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
124 wxString
FindFirst(const wxString
& wildcard
, int flags
= 0);
127 Returns the next filename that matches the parameters passed to FindFirst().
132 Returns the actual path (set by wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo).
134 wxString
GetPath() const;
137 This static function returns @true if there is a registered handler which can
138 open the given location.
140 static bool HasHandlerForPath(const wxString
& location
);
143 Opens the file and returns a pointer to a wxFSFile object or @NULL if failed.
145 It first tries to open the file in relative scope (based on value passed to
146 ChangePathTo() method) and then as an absolute path.
148 Note that the user is responsible for deleting the returned wxFSFile.
149 @a flags can be one or more of the ::wxFileSystemOpenFlags values
152 A stream opened with just the default @e wxFS_READ flag may
153 or may not be seekable depending on the underlying source.
155 Passing @e "wxFS_READ | wxFS_SEEKABLE" for @a flags will back
156 a stream that is not natively seekable with memory or a file
157 and return a stream that is always seekable.
159 wxFSFile
* OpenFile(const wxString
& location
,
160 int flags
= wxFS_READ
);
163 Converts URL into a well-formed filename.
164 The URL must use the @c file protocol.
166 static wxFileName
URLToFileName(const wxString
& url
);
174 This class represents a single file opened by wxFileSystem.
175 It provides more information than wxWindow's input stream
176 (stream, filename, mime type, anchor).
178 @note Any pointer returned by a method of wxFSFile is valid only as long as
179 the wxFSFile object exists. For example a call to GetStream()
180 doesn't @e create the stream but only returns the pointer to it.
181 In other words after 10 calls to GetStream() you will have obtained
182 ten identical pointers.
187 @see wxFileSystemHandler, wxFileSystem, @ref overview_fs
189 class wxFSFile
: public wxObject
193 Constructor. You probably won't use it. See the Note for details.
195 It is seldom used by the application programmer but you will need it if
196 you are writing your own virtual FS. For example you may need something
197 similar to wxMemoryInputStream, but because wxMemoryInputStream doesn't
198 free the memory when destroyed and thus passing a memory stream pointer
199 into wxFSFile constructor would lead to memory leaks, you can write your
200 own class derived from wxFSFile:
203 class wxMyFSFile : public wxFSFile
209 ~wxMyFSFile() {free(m_Mem);}
210 // of course dtor is virtual ;-)
214 If you are not sure of the meaning of these params, see the description
215 of the GetXXXX() functions.
218 The input stream that will be used to access data
220 The full location (aka filename) of the file
222 MIME type of this file. It may be left empty, in which
223 case the type will be determined from file's extension (location must
224 not be empty in this case).
226 Anchor. See GetAnchor() for details.
228 Modification date and time for this file.
230 wxFSFile(wxInputStream stream
,
231 const wxString
& location
,
232 const wxString
& mimetype
,
233 const wxString
& anchor
,
237 Detaches the stream from the wxFSFile object. That is, the
238 stream obtained with GetStream() will continue its existance
239 after the wxFSFile object is deleted.
241 You will have to delete the stream yourself.
246 Returns anchor (if present). The term of @b anchor can be easily
247 explained using few examples:
250 index.htm#anchor // 'anchor' is anchor
251 index/wx001.htm // NO anchor here!
252 archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm#global // 'global'
253 archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm // NO anchor here!
256 Usually an anchor is presented only if the MIME type is 'text/html'.
257 But it may have some meaning with other files; for example myanim.avi#200
258 may refer to position in animation or reality.wrl#MyView may refer
259 to a predefined view in VRML.
261 const wxString
& GetAnchor() const;
264 Returns full location of the file, including path and protocol.

269 http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~vsla8348/wxhtml/archive.zip#zip:info.txt
270 file:/home/vasek/index.htm
274 const wxString
& GetLocation() const;
277 Returns the MIME type of the content of this file.
279 It is either extension-based (see wxMimeTypesManager) or extracted from
280 HTTP protocol Content-Type header.
282 const wxString
& GetMimeType() const;
285 Returns time when this file was modified.
287 wxDateTime
GetModificationTime() const;
290 Returns pointer to the stream.
292 You can use the returned stream to directly access data.
293 You may suppose that the stream provide Seek and GetSize functionality
294 (even in the case of the HTTP protocol which doesn't provide
295 this by default. wxHtml uses local cache to work around
296 this and to speed up the connection).
298 wxInputStream
* GetStream() const;
304 @class wxFileSystemHandler
306 Classes derived from wxFileSystemHandler are used to access virtual file systems.
308 Its public interface consists of two methods: wxFileSystemHandler::CanOpen
309 and wxFileSystemHandler::OpenFile.
311 It provides additional protected methods to simplify the process
312 of opening the file: GetProtocol(), GetLeftLocation(), GetRightLocation(),
313 GetAnchor(), GetMimeTypeFromExt().
315 Please have a look at overview (see wxFileSystem) if you don't know how locations
318 Also consult the @ref overview_fs_wxhtmlfs "list of available handlers".
320 Note that the handlers are shared by all instances of wxFileSystem.
323 wxHTML library provides handlers for local files and HTTP or FTP protocol.
326 The location parameter passed to OpenFile() or CanOpen() methods is always an
327 absolute path. You don't need to check the FS's current path.
330 In wxPerl, you need to derive your file system handler class
331 from Wx::PlFileSystemHandler.
337 @see wxFileSystem, wxFSFile, @ref overview_fs
339 class wxFileSystemHandler
: public wxObject
345 wxFileSystemHandler();
348 Returns @true if the handler is able to open this file. This function doesn't
349 check whether the file exists or not, it only checks if it knows the protocol.
353 bool MyHand::CanOpen(const wxString& location)
355 return (GetProtocol(location) == "http");
359 Must be overridden in derived handlers.
361 virtual bool CanOpen(const wxString
& location
);
364 Works like ::wxFindFirstFile().
366 Returns the name of the first filename (within filesystem's current path)
367 that matches @e wildcard. @a flags may be one of wxFILE (only files),
368 wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
370 This method is only called if CanOpen() returns @true.
372 virtual wxString
FindFirst(const wxString
& wildcard
,
376 Returns next filename that matches parameters passed to wxFileSystem::FindFirst.
378 This method is only called if CanOpen() returns @true and FindFirst()
379 returned a non-empty string.
381 virtual wxString
FindNext();
384 Returns the anchor if present in the location.
385 See wxFSFile::GetAnchor for details.
389 GetAnchor("index.htm#chapter2") == "chapter2"
392 @note the anchor is NOT part of the left location.
394 static wxString
GetAnchor(const wxString
& location
);
397 Returns the left location string extracted from @e location.
401 GetLeftLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "file:myzipfile.zip"
404 static wxString
GetLeftLocation(const wxString
& location
);
407 Returns the MIME type based on @b extension of @a location.
408 (While wxFSFile::GetMimeType() returns real MIME type - either
409 extension-based or queried from HTTP.)
413 GetMimeTypeFromExt("index.htm") == "text/html"
416 static wxString
GetMimeTypeFromExt(const wxString
& location
);
419 Returns the protocol string extracted from @a location.
423 GetProtocol("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "zip"
426 static wxString
GetProtocol(const wxString
& location
);
429 Returns the right location string extracted from @a location.
433 GetRightLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "index.htm"
436 static wxString
GetRightLocation(const wxString
& location
);
439 Opens the file and returns wxFSFile pointer or @NULL if failed.
440 Must be overridden in derived handlers.
443 Parent FS (the FS from that OpenFile was called).
444 See the ZIP handler for details of how to use it.
446 The absolute location of file.
448 virtual wxFSFile
* OpenFile(wxFileSystem
& fs
,
449 const wxString
& location
);
