Detailed Description

A URI which is a path (for example a filesystem or OSC path).

This enforces that a Path is a valid path, where each fragment is a valid Symbol, separated by exactly one slash (/).

A path is divided by slashes (/). The first character MUST be a slash, and the last character MUST NOT be a slash (except in the special case of the root path "/", which is the only valid single-character path). A Path is actually a URI, the relative path is appended to the root URI automatically, so a Patch can always be used as a URI.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Raul::Path::Path (  )  [inline]

Construct an uninitialzed path, because the STL is annoying.

Referenced by root().

Raul::Path::Path ( const std::basic_string< char > &  path  ) 

Construct a Path from an std::string.

It is a fatal error to construct a Path from an invalid string, use is_valid first to check.

Raul::Path::Path ( const char *  cpath  ) 

Construct a Path from a C string.

It is a fatal error to construct a Path from an invalid string, use is_valid first to check.

Raul::Path::Path ( const Path copy  )  [inline]

Construct a Path from another path.

This is faster than constructing a path from the other path's string representation, since validity checking is avoided.


Member Function Documentation

const Path Raul::Path::root (  )  [static]

Return the root path.

The default root path is the URI "path:/"

A Path is either the root path, or a child of a root path (i.e. the root path followed by a sequence of Symbols separated by '/')

References Path().

Referenced by pathify().

void Raul::Path::set_root ( const Raul::URI uri  )  [static]

Set the root path.

The default root path is the URI "path:/"

Note this should be done on application start up. Changing the root path while any Path objects exist will break things horribly; don't!

The root can be set to any URI, there are no restrictions on valid characters and such like there are for relative paths (but it must be a valid URI, i.e. begin with a scheme, and in particular not begin with '/'). Relative paths are appended to the root path's URI, i.e. every Path, as a string, begins with the root URI. The part after that is a strict path (a sequence of Symbols separated by '/').

string Raul::Path::pathify ( const std::basic_string< char > &  str  )  [static]

Convert a string to a valid full path.

The returned string is a valid relative path without the root prefix, i.e. the returned string starts with '/' followed by valid symbols, each separated by '/'.

References Raul::URI::chop_scheme(), replace_invalid_chars(), and root().

string Raul::Path::nameify ( const std::basic_string< char > &  str  )  [static]

Convert a string to a valid name (or "method" - tokens between slashes).

This will strip all slashes, etc, and always return a valid name/method.

References replace_invalid_chars().

const char* Raul::Path::symbol (  )  const [inline]

Return the symbol of this path (everything after the last '/').

This is e.g. the "method name" for OSC paths, the filename for filesystem paths, etc. The empty string may be returned (if the path is the root path).

Path Raul::Path::parent (  )  const [inline]

Return the parent's path.

Calling this on the path "/" will return "/". This is the (deepest) "container path" for OSC paths.

const std::string Raul::Path::base (  )  const [inline]

Return path with a trailing "/".

Returned value is guaranteed to be a valid parent path, i.e. a valid child path can be made using parent.base() + child_name.

const std::string Raul::Path::base_no_scheme (  )  const [inline]

Return path with a trailing "/".

Returned value is guaranteed to be a valid parent path, i.e. a valid child path can be made using parent.base() + child_name.
