Function Documentation

fileAccessCheck() [1/2]

bool gnsstk::FileUtils::fileAccessCheck ( const char *  fname, std::ios::openmode  mode = std::ios::in  )

inline

Returns true if the file exists. Only readability is verified unless the user inputs the openmode of interest.

Parameters

[in]	fname	Name of the file to check
[in]	mode	Mode of access to check (default is readable, std::ios::in)

Warning

This method fails to work correctly under Debian 7, which seems to have a bug in the OS/system calls that erroneously allow opening read-only files with write access. There's nothing we can do about this.

Returns

true if the file can be accessed

fileAccessCheck() [2/2]

bool gnsstk::FileUtils::fileAccessCheck ( const std::string &  fname, std::ios::openmode  mode = std::ios::in  )

inline

Definition at line 158 of file FileUtils.hpp.

makeDir() [1/2]

int gnsstk::FileUtils::makeDir ( const char *  path, unsigned  mode  )

inline

makeDir that takes a char* for an argument.

Parameters

path	the full path of the directory you want created
mode	the permission of the new directory (like 0755)

Returns

always 0

Definition at line 134 of file FileUtils.hpp.

makeDir() [2/2]

int gnsstk::FileUtils::makeDir ( const std::string &  path, unsigned  mode  )

inline

Creates a hierarchy of directories rather than just one dir. This intentionally doesn't check the mkdir return codes because there is no difference between return codes for directories that already exist and error creating new ones.

Parameters

path	the full path of the directory you want created
mode	the permission of the new directory (like 0755)

Returns

always 0
