It may either be instantiated with one parameter or none. Constructing the class using one parameter allows you to specify a path to your own configuration file, otherwise, inspircd.conf is read. .PP Definition at line 1121 of file modules.h. .SH "Constructor & Destructor Documentation" .PP .SS "ConfigReader::ConfigReader ()" .PP Default constructor. .PP This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read the inspircd.conf file as specified when running ./configure. .PP Definition at line 796 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache, CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND, error, errorlog, include_stack, and readerror. .PP .nf 797 { 798 include_stack.clear(); 799 this->cache = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 800 this->errorlog = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 801 this->readerror = LoadConf(CONFIG_FILE,this->cache,this->errorlog); 802 if (!this->readerror) 803 this->error = CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND; 804 } .fi .PP .SS "ConfigReader::ConfigReader (\fBstd::string\fP filename)" .PP Overloaded constructor. .PP This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read a user-specified config file .PP Definition at line 816 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache, CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND, error, errorlog, and readerror. .PP .nf 817 { 818 this->cache = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 819 this->errorlog = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 820 this->readerror = LoadConf(filename.c_str(),this->cache,this->errorlog); 821 if (!this->readerror) 822 this->error = CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND; 823 }; .fi .PP .SS "ConfigReader::~ConfigReader ()" .PP Default destructor. .PP This method destroys the ConfigReader class. .PP Definition at line 807 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache, and errorlog. .PP .nf 808 { 809 if (this->cache) 810 delete this->cache; 811 if (this->errorlog) 812 delete this->errorlog; 813 } .fi .PP .SH "Member Function Documentation" .PP .SS "void ConfigReader::DumpErrors (bool bail, \fBuserrec\fP * user)" .PP Dumps the list of errors in a config file to an output location. .PP If bail is true, then the program will abort.
