Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

bool Config::add	(	const std::string &	section,
		const std::string &	parameter,
		const T &	value
	)		[inline]

Added the value(string) of the parameter in the section in the configuration data. The functions will added the parameter and the section if it does not already exist.

Definition at line 137 of file config.h.

void Config::clear

(

void

)

Clear the data buffer.

Definition at line 178 of file config.cpp.

bool Config::parameter_exists	(	const std::string &	section,
		const std::string &	parameter
	)		const

Test to see if a parameter exists within a section.

Returns:

true if parameter is found within section

Definition at line 214 of file config.cpp.

void Config::print

(

)

Print the configuration data.

Definition at line 184 of file config.cpp.

short Config::read_conf

(

std::ifstream &

inconffile

)

Read a configuration file.

This function reads the configuration file specified in the constructor parameter. The information is stored in the variable conf.

A configuration file contains section(s) (between [ ]), and the section(s) contains parameter(s) with there respective value(s). The section and the parameter are always access via a string. Below is an exemple: one section named PUMA560_mDH, and two parameters.

[PUMA560_mDH] DH: 0 dof: 6

bool Config::section_exists

(

const std::string &

section

)

const

Test to see if a section exists.

Returns:

true if section is found

Definition at line 202 of file config.cpp.

template<typename T >

bool Config::select	(	const std::string &	section,
		const std::string &	parameter,
		T &	value
	)		const [inline]

Get a parameter data, of a certain section, into the string value.

Returns:

false if the data can not be found and true otherwise.

Definition at line 109 of file config.h.

short Config::write_conf	(	std::ofstream &	outconffile,
		const std::string &	file_title,
		const int	space_between_column
	)

Write the configuration information, contained in conf, on disk.

Parameters:

filename,:	Configuration file name.
file_title,:	Title in the configuration file header.
space_between_column,:	Number of blanks between : (of a parameter) and it's value.
