Detailed Description

Allows reading of values from configuration files This class allows a module to read from either the main configuration file (inspircd.conf) or from a module-specified configuration file.

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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ConfigReader::ConfigReader (    ) 
 

Default constructor.

This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read the inspircd.conf file as specified when running ./configure.

Definition at line 164 of file modules.cpp.

References fname. 

00165 {
00166         fname = CONFIG_FILE;
00167 }

ConfigReader::ConfigReader (  string    filename ) 
 

Overloaded constructor.

This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read a user-specified config file

Definition at line 175 of file modules.cpp. 

00175 : fname(filename) { };

ConfigReader::~ConfigReader (    ) 
 

Default destructor.

This method destroys the ConfigReader class.

Member Function Documentation

int ConfigReader::Enumerate (  string    tag ) 
 

Counts the number of times a given tag appears in the config file.

This method counts the number of times a tag appears in a config file, for use where there are several tags of the same kind, e.g. with opers and connect types. It can be used with the index value of ConfigReader::ReadValue to loop through all copies of a multiple instance tag.

Definition at line 186 of file modules.cpp.

References fname. 

00187 {
00188         return EnumConf(fname.c_str(),tag.c_str());
00189 }

string ConfigReader::ReadValue (  string    tag,
string    name,
int    index
) 
 

Retrieves a value from the config file.

This method retrieves a value from the config file. Where multiple copies of the tag exist in the config file, index indicates which of the values to retrieve.

Definition at line 177 of file modules.cpp.

References fname. 

00178 {
00179         char val[MAXBUF];
00180         ReadConf(fname.c_str(),tag.c_str(),name.c_str(),index,val);
00181         string s = val;
00182         return s;
00183 }

bool ConfigReader::Verify (    ) 
 

Returns true if a config file is valid.

This method is unimplemented and will always return true.

Definition at line 192 of file modules.cpp. 

00193 {
00194         return true;
00195 }
