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).
