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 152 of file modules.cpp.

References fname.

00153 {
00154         fname = CONFIG_FILE;
00155 }

ConfigReader::ConfigReader string    filename
 

Overloaded constructor.

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

Definition at line 163 of file modules.cpp.

00163 : 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 174 of file modules.cpp.

References fname.

00175 {
00176         return EnumConf(fname.c_str(),tag.c_str());
00177 }

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 165 of file modules.cpp.

References fname.

00166 {
00167         char val[MAXBUF];
00168         ReadConf(fname.c_str(),tag.c_str(),name.c_str(),index,val);
00169         string s = val;
00170         return s;
00171 }

bool ConfigReader::Verify  
 

Returns true if a config file is valid.

This method is unimplemented and will always return true.

Definition at line 180 of file modules.cpp.

00181 {
00182         return true;
00183 }
