## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vl::VirtualDirectory::VirtualDirectory | ( | const String & | path = `"/"` | ) | `[inline]`

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | path | Defines the path name of the virtual dirctory, must be a non empty string.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vl::VirtualDirectory::className | ( |  | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

Returns the name of the class.

Reimplemented from vl::Object.

Reimplemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

bool VirtualDirectory::setPath | ( | const String & | path | ) | `[virtual]`

Changes the `path` `name` of a VirtualDirectory. Must not be an empty string.

Reimplemented in vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

virtual const String& vl::VirtualDirectory::path | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

bool vl::VirtualDirectory::fileExists | ( | const String & | name | ) | const`[inline]`

Checks the existence of a file in the directory.

virtual ref<VirtualFile> vl::VirtualDirectory::file | ( | const String & | name | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the VirtualFile with the given name if any, NULL otherwise.

Implemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

virtual void vl::VirtualDirectory::listFilesRecursive | ( | std::vector< String > & | file_list | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Returns the list of files contained in the VirtualDirectory.

If there are subdirectories the files will be searched recursively.

Implemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

virtual void vl::VirtualDirectory::listFilesRecursive | ( | std::vector< String > & | file_list,
|  | const String & | match |
| ) |  |  | const`[inline, virtual]`

Returns the list of files contained in the VirtualDirectory that match the expression 'match'.

The `match` parameter must be of the type `"*abc"` or `"*abc*"` or `"abc*"` or `"*"`.

virtual void vl::VirtualDirectory::listFiles | ( | std::vector< String > & | file_list,
|  | bool | append = `false` |
| ) |  |  | const`[pure virtual]`

Implemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

virtual void vl::VirtualDirectory::listSubDirs | ( | std::vector< String > & | dirs,
|  | bool | append = `false` |
| ) |  |  | const`[pure virtual]`

Implemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

virtual ref<VirtualDirectory> vl::VirtualDirectory::subDir | ( | const String & | subdir_name | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

Implemented in vl::DiskDirectory, vl::MemoryDirectory, and vl::ZippedDirectory.

String VirtualDirectory::translatePath | ( | const String & | p | ) | const`[protected]`
