24 This class provides an interface for opening files on different file systems.
25 It can handle absolute and/or local filenames.
27 It uses a system of handlers (see wxFileSystemHandler) to provide access to
28 user-defined virtual file systems.
33 @see wxFileSystemHandler, wxFSFile, @ref overview_fs
35 class wxFileSystem
: public wxObject
44 This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers
45 (see wxFileSystemHandler) which provide access to virtual FS.
47 Note that if two handlers for the same protocol are added, the last
48 added one takes precedence.
52 wxFileSystem::AddHandler(new My_FS_Handler);
54 This is because (a) AddHandler is a static method, and (b) the
55 handlers are deleted in wxFileSystem's destructor so that you
56 don't have to care about it.
58 static void AddHandler(wxFileSystemHandler handler
);
61 Sets the current location. @a location parameter passed to OpenFile() is
62 relative to this path.
64 @remarks Unless @a is_dir is @true the @a location parameter is not the
65 directory name but the name of the file in this directory.
67 All these commands change the path to "dir/subdir/":
70 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir/xh.htm");
71 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir", true);
72 ChangePathTo("dir/subdir/", true);
77 f = fs->OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'hello.htm'
78 fs->ChangePathTo("subdir/folder", true);
79 f = fs->OpenFile("hello.htm"); // opens file 'subdir/folder/hello.htm' !!
83 the new location. Its meaning depends on the value of is_dir
85 if @true location is new directory.
86 If @false (the default) location is file in the new directory.
88 void ChangePathTo(const wxString
& location
, bool is_dir
= false);
91 Converts a wxFileName into an URL.
93 @see URLToFileName(), wxFileName
95 static wxString
FileNameToURL(const wxFileName
& filename
);
98 Looks for the file with the given name @a file in a colon or semi-colon
99 (depending on the current platform) separated list of directories in @a path.
101 If the file is found in any directory, returns @true and the full path
102 of the file in @a str, otherwise returns @false and doesn't modify @a str.
105 Receives the full path of the file, must not be @NULL
107 wxPATH_SEP-separated list of directories
109 the name of the file to look for
111 bool FindFileInPath(wxString str
, const wxString
& path
,
112 const wxString
& file
);
115 Works like ::wxFindFirstFile().
117 Returns the name of the first filename (within filesystem's current path)
118 that matches @a wildcard.
121 The wildcard that the filename must match
123 One of wxFILE (only files), wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
125 wxString
FindFirst(const wxString
& wildcard
, int flags
= 0);
128 Returns the next filename that matches the parameters passed to FindFirst().
133 Returns the actual path (set by wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo).
138 This static function returns @true if there is a registered handler which can
139 open the given location.
141 static bool HasHandlerForPath(const wxString
& location
);
144 Opens the file and returns a pointer to a wxFSFile object or @NULL if failed.
146 It first tries to open the file in relative scope (based on value passed to
147 ChangePathTo() method) and then as an absolute path.
149 Note that the user is responsible for deleting the returned wxFSFile.
150 @a flags can be one or more of the ::wxFileSystemOpenFlags values
153 A stream opened with just the default @e wxFS_READ flag may
154 or may not be seekable depending on the underlying source.
156 Passing @e "wxFS_READ | wxFS_SEEKABLE" for @a flags will back
157 a stream that is not natively seekable with memory or a file
158 and return a stream that is always seekable.
160 wxFSFile
* OpenFile(const wxString
& location
,
161 int flags
= wxFS_READ
);
164 Converts URL into a well-formed filename.
165 The URL must use the @c file protocol.
167 static wxFileName
URLToFileName(const wxString
& url
);
176 This class represents a single file opened by wxFileSystem.
177 It provides more information than wxWindow's input stream
178 (stream, filename, mime type, anchor).
180 @note Any pointer returned by a method of wxFSFile is valid only as long as
181 the wxFSFile object exists. For example a call to GetStream()
182 doesn't @e create the stream but only returns the pointer to it.
183 In other words after 10 calls to GetStream() you will have obtained
184 ten identical pointers.
189 @see wxFileSystemHandler, wxFileSystem, @ref overview_fs
191 class wxFSFile
: public wxObject
195 Constructor. You probably won't use it. See the Note for details.
197 It is seldom used by the application programmer but you will need it if
198 you are writing your own virtual FS. For example you may need something
199 similar to wxMemoryInputStream, but because wxMemoryInputStream doesn't
200 free the memory when destroyed and thus passing a memory stream pointer
201 into wxFSFile constructor would lead to memory leaks, you can write your
202 own class derived from wxFSFile:
205 class wxMyFSFile : public wxFSFile
211 ~wxMyFSFile() {free(m_Mem);}
212 // of course dtor is virtual ;-)
216 If you are not sure of the meaning of these params, see the description
217 of the GetXXXX() functions.
220 The input stream that will be used to access data
222 The full location (aka filename) of the file
224 MIME type of this file. It may be left empty, in which
225 case the type will be determined from file's extension (location must
226 not be empty in this case).
228 Anchor. See GetAnchor() for details.
230 wxFSFile(wxInputStream stream
, const wxString
& loc
,
231 const wxString
& mimetype
,
232 const wxString
& anchor
, wxDateTime modif
);
235 Detaches the stream from the wxFSFile object. That is, the
236 stream obtained with GetStream() will continue its existance
237 after the wxFSFile object is deleted.
239 You will have to delete the stream yourself.
244 Returns anchor (if present). The term of @b anchor can be easily
245 explained using few examples:
248 index.htm#anchor // 'anchor' is anchor
249 index/wx001.htm // NO anchor here!
250 archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm#global // 'global'
251 archive/main.zip#zip:index.htm // NO anchor here!
254 Usually an anchor is presented only if the MIME type is 'text/html'.
255 But it may have some meaning with other files; for example myanim.avi#200
256 may refer to position in animation or reality.wrl#MyView may refer
257 to a predefined view in VRML.
259 const wxString
& GetAnchor() const;
262 Returns full location of the file, including path and protocol.

267 http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~vsla8348/wxhtml/archive.zip#zip:info.txt
268 file:/home/vasek/index.htm
272 const wxString
& GetLocation() const;
275 Returns the MIME type of the content of this file.
277 It is either extension-based (see wxMimeTypesManager) or extracted from
278 HTTP protocol Content-Type header.
280 const wxString
& GetMimeType() const;
283 Returns time when this file was modified.
285 wxDateTime
GetModificationTime() const;
288 Returns pointer to the stream.
290 You can use the returned stream to directly access data.
291 You may suppose that the stream provide Seek and GetSize functionality
292 (even in the case of the HTTP protocol which doesn't provide
293 this by default. wxHtml uses local cache to work around
294 this and to speed up the connection).
296 wxInputStream
* GetStream() const;
302 @class wxFileSystemHandler
305 Classes derived from wxFileSystemHandler are used to access virtual file systems.
307 Its public interface consists of two methods: wxFileSystemHandler::CanOpen
308 and wxFileSystemHandler::OpenFile.
310 It provides additional protected methods to simplify the process
311 of opening the file: GetProtocol(), GetLeftLocation(), GetRightLocation(),
312 GetAnchor(), GetMimeTypeFromExt().
314 Please have a look at overview (see wxFileSystem) if you don't know how locations
317 Also consult the @ref overview_fs_wxhtmlfs "list of available handlers".
319 Note that the handlers are shared by all instances of wxFileSystem.
322 wxHTML library provides handlers for local files and HTTP or FTP protocol.
325 The location parameter passed to OpenFile() or CanOpen() methods is always an
326 absolute path. You don't need to check the FS's current path.
329 In wxPerl, you need to derive your file system handler class
330 from Wx::PlFileSystemHandler.
336 @see wxFileSystem, wxFSFile, @ref overview_fs
338 class wxFileSystemHandler
: public wxObject
344 wxFileSystemHandler();
347 Returns @true if the handler is able to open this file. This function doesn't
348 check whether the file exists or not, it only checks if it knows the protocol.
352 bool MyHand::CanOpen(const wxString& location)
354 return (GetProtocol(location) == "http");
358 Must be overridden in derived handlers.
360 virtual bool CanOpen(const wxString
& location
);
363 Works like ::wxFindFirstFile().
365 Returns the name of the first filename (within filesystem's current path)
366 that matches @e wildcard. @a flags may be one of wxFILE (only files),
367 wxDIR (only directories) or 0 (both).
369 This method is only called if CanOpen() returns @true.
371 virtual wxString
FindFirst(const wxString
& wildcard
,
375 Returns next filename that matches parameters passed to wxFileSystem::FindFirst.
377 This method is only called if CanOpen() returns @true and FindFirst()
378 returned a non-empty string.
380 virtual wxString
FindNext();
383 Returns the anchor if present in the location.
384 See wxFSFile::GetAnchor for details.
388 GetAnchor("index.htm#chapter2") == "chapter2"
391 @note the anchor is NOT part of the left location.
393 wxString
GetAnchor(const wxString
& location
) const;
396 Returns the left location string extracted from @e location.
400 GetLeftLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "file:myzipfile.zip"
403 wxString
GetLeftLocation(const wxString
& location
) const;
406 Returns the MIME type based on @b extension of @a location.
407 (While wxFSFile::GetMimeType() returns real MIME type - either
408 extension-based or queried from HTTP.)
412 GetMimeTypeFromExt("index.htm") == "text/html"
415 wxString
GetMimeTypeFromExt(const wxString
& location
);
418 Returns the protocol string extracted from @a location.
422 GetProtocol("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "zip"
425 wxString
GetProtocol(const wxString
& location
) const;
428 Returns the right location string extracted from @a location.
432 GetRightLocation("file:myzipfile.zip#zip:index.htm") == "index.htm"
435 wxString
GetRightLocation(const wxString
& location
) const;
438 Opens the file and returns wxFSFile pointer or @NULL if failed.
439 Must be overridden in derived handlers.
442 Parent FS (the FS from that OpenFile was called).
443 See the ZIP handler for details of how to use it.
445 The absolute location of file.
447 virtual wxFSFile
* OpenFile(wxFileSystem
& fs
,
448 const wxString
& location
);
