Detailed Documentation

This implementation of a Configuration reads properties from a legacy Windows initialization (.ini) file.

The file syntax is implemented as follows.

- a line starting with a semicolon is treated as a comment and ignored
- a line starting with a square bracket denotes a section key [<key>]
- every other line denotes a property assignment in the form
  <value key> = <value>

The name of a property is composed of the section key and the value key, separated by a period (<section key>=”“>.

).

Property names are not case sensitive. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed from both keys and values.

Construction

IniFileConfiguration()

Creates an empty IniFileConfiguration.

IniFileConfiguration(std::istream& istr)

Creates an IniFileConfiguration and loads the configuration data from the given stream, which must be in initialization file format.

IniFileConfiguration(const std::string& path)

Creates an IniFileConfiguration and loads the configuration data from the given file, which must be in initialization file format.

Methods

void
load(std::istream& istr)

Loads the configuration data from the given stream, which must be in initialization file format.

void
load(const std::string& path)

Loads the configuration data from the given file, which must be in initialization file format.

virtual
bool
getRaw(
    const std::string& key,
    std::string& value
    ) const

If the property with the given key exists, stores the property’s value in value and returns true.

Otherwise, returns false.

Must be overridden by subclasses.

virtual
void
setRaw(
    const std::string& key,
    const std::string& value
    )

Sets the property with the given key to the given value.

An already existing value for the key is overwritten.

Must be overridden by subclasses.

virtual
void
enumerate(
    const std::string& key,
    Keys& range
    ) const

Returns in range the names of all subkeys under the given key.

If an empty key is passed, all root level keys are returned.

virtual
void
removeRaw(const std::string& key)

Removes the property with the given key.

Does nothing if the key does not exist.

Should be overridden by subclasses; the default implementation throws a Poco::NotImplementedException.
