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 618 of file modules.h. .SH "Constructor & Destructor Documentation" .PP .SS "ConfigReader::ConfigReader ()" .PP Default constructor.This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read the inspircd.conf file as specified when running ./configure.Definition at line 553 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache, CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND, error, and readerror. .PP .nf 554 { 555 this->cache = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 556 this->readerror = LoadConf(CONFIG_FILE,this->cache); 557 if (!this->readerror) 558 this->error = CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND; 559 } .fi .SS "ConfigReader::ConfigReader (std::string filename)" .PP Overloaded constructor.This constructor initialises the ConfigReader class to read a user-specified config fileDefinition at line 569 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache, CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND, error, and readerror. .PP .nf 570 { 571 this->cache = new std::stringstream(std::stringstream::in | std::stringstream::out); 572 this->readerror = LoadConf(filename.c_str(),this->cache); 573 if (!this->readerror) 574 this->error = CONF_FILE_NOT_FOUND; 575 }; .fi .SS "ConfigReader::~ConfigReader ()" .PP Default destructor.This method destroys the ConfigReader class.Definition at line 562 of file modules.cpp. .PP References cache. .PP .nf 563 { 564 if (this->cache) 565 delete this->cache; 566 } .fi .SH "Member Function Documentation" .PP .SS "int ConfigReader::Enumerate (std::string tag)" .PP 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.
