Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_INLINE ACE_Dirent::ACE_Dirent

(

void

)

Default constructor.

ACE_INLINE ACE_Dirent::ACE_Dirent

(

const ACE_TCHAR *

dirname

)

[explicit]

Constructor calls <opendir>.

ACE_INLINE ACE_Dirent::~ACE_Dirent

(

void

)

Destructor calls <closedir>.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL ACE_INLINE int ACE_Dirent::open

(

const ACE_TCHAR *

filename

)

Opens the directory named by filename and associates a directory stream with it.

ACE_INLINE void ACE_Dirent::close

(

void

)

Closes the directory stream and frees the <ACE_DIR> structure.

ACE_INLINE ACE_DIRENT * ACE_Dirent::read

(

void

)

Returns a pointer to a structure representing the directory entry at the current position in the directory stream to which dirp refers, and positions the directory stream at the next entry, except on read-only filesystems. It returns a NULL pointer upon reaching the end of the directory stream, or upon detecting an invalid location in the directory. <readdir> shall not return directory entries containing empty names. It is unspecified whether entries are returned for dot or dot-dot. The pointer returned by <readdir> points to data that may be overwritten by another call to <readdir> on the same directory stream. This data shall not be overwritten by another call to <readdir> on a different directory stream. <readdir> may buffer several directory entries per actual read operation; <readdir> marks for update the st_atime field of the directory each time the directory is actually read.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Dirent::read	(	struct ACE_DIRENT *	entry,
		struct ACE_DIRENT **	result
	)

Has the equivalent functionality as <readdir> except that an entry and result buffer must be supplied by the caller to store the result.

ACE_INLINE long ACE_Dirent::tell

(

void

)

Returns the current location associated with the directory stream.

ACE_INLINE void ACE_Dirent::seek

(

long

loc

)

Sets the position of the next <readdir> operation on the directory stream. The new position reverts to the position associated with the directory stream at the time the <telldir> operation that provides loc was performed. Values returned by <telldir> are good only for the lifetime of the <ACE_DIR> pointer from which they are derived. If the directory is closed and then reopened, the <telldir> value may be invalidated due to undetected directory compaction. It is safe to use a previous <telldir> value immediately after a call to <opendir> and before any calls to readdir.

ACE_INLINE void ACE_Dirent::rewind

(

void

)

Resets the position of the directory stream to the beginning of the directory. It also causes the directory stream to refer to the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to <opendir> would.
