Member Function Documentation

void ArUtil::addDirectories	(	char *	dest,
		size_t	destLength,
		const char *	baseDir,
		const char *	insideDir
	)			`[static]`

Adds two directories, taking care of all slash issues.

This function will take the 'baseDir' and put the 'insideDir' after it so that it winds up with 'baseDir/insideDir/'. It will take care of slashes, making sure there is one between them and one at the end, and the slashes will match what the operating system expects.

Parameters:

	dest	the place to put the result
	destLength	the length of the place to put the results
	baseDir	the directory to start with
	insideDir	the directory to place after the baseDir

Definition at line 387 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::appendSlash	(	char *	path,
		size_t	pathLength
	)			`[static]`

Appends a slash to a path if there is not one there already.

Append a directory separator character to the given path string, depending on the platform. On Windows, a backslash ('\') is added. On other platforms, a forward slash ('/') is appended. If there is no more allocated space in the path string, no character will be appended.

Parameters:

	path	the path string to append a slash to
	pathLength	maximum length allocated for path string

Definition at line 316 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

template<class T>

static void ArUtil::deleteSet	(	T	begin,
		T	end
	)			`[inline, static]`

Delete all members of a set. Does NOT empty the set.

Assumes that T is an iterator that supports the operator*, operator!= and operator++. The return is assumed to be a pointer to a class that needs to be deleted.

Definition at line 94 of file ariaUtil.h.

template<class T>

static void ArUtil::deleteSetPairs	(	T	begin,
		T	end
	)			`[inline, static]`

Delete all members of a set. Does NOT empty the set.

Assumes that T is an iterator that supports the operator**, operator!= and operator++. The return is assumed to be a pair. The second value of the pair is assumed to be a pointer to a class that needs to be deleted.

Definition at line 108 of file ariaUtil.h.

void ArUtil::escapeSpaces	(	char *	dest,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	maxLen
	)			`[static]`

Puts a \ before spaces in src, puts it into dest.

This copies src into dest but puts a \ before any spaces in src, escaping them... its mostly for use with ArArgumentBuilder... make sure you have at least maxLen spaces in the arrays that you're passing as dest... this allocates no memory

Definition at line 520 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

bool ArUtil::findFile ( const char * fileName ) [static]

OS-independent way of checking to see if a file exists and is readable.

Returns:: true if file is found

Parameters:

fileName

name of the file to size

Definition at line 216 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::fixSlashes	(	char *	path,
		size_t	pathLength
	)			`[static]`

Fix the slash orientation in file path string for windows or linux.

Parameters:

	path	the path in which to fix the orientation of the slashes
	pathLength	the maximum length of path

Definition at line 339 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::fixSlashesBackward	(	char *	path,
		size_t	pathLength
	)			`[static]`

Fix the slash orientation in file path string to be all backward.

Parameters:

	path	the path in which to fix the orientation of the slashes
	pathLength	how long that path is at max

Definition at line 352 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::fixSlashesForward	(	char *	path,

	pathLength	how long that path is at max

Definition at line 365 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

bool ArUtil::getStringFromFile	(	const char *	fileName,
		char *	str,
		size_t	strLen
	)			`[static]`

Gets a string contained in an arbitrary file.

This function reads a string from a file. The file can contain spaces or tabs, but a '\r' or '\n' will be treated as the end of the string, and the string cannot have more characters than the value given by strLen. This is mostly for internal use with Linux to determine the Aria directory from a file in /etc, but will work with Linux or Windows.

Parameters:

	fileName	name of the file in which to look
	str	the string to copy the file contents into
	strLen	the maximum allocated length of str

Definition at line 632 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

bool ArUtil::getStringFromRegistry	(	REGKEY	root,
		const char *	key,
		const char *	value,
		char *	str,
		int	len
	)			`[static]`

Returns a string from the Windows registry.

Look up the given value under the given key, within the given registry root key.

Parameters:

	root	the root key to use, one of the REGKEY enum values
	key	the name of the key to find
	value	the value name in which to find the string
	str	where to put the string found, or if it could not be found, an empty (length() == 0) string
	len	the length of the allocated memory in str

Returns:: true if the string was found, false if it was not found or if there was a problem such as the string not being long enough

Definition at line 676 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

unsigned int ArUtil::getTime ( void ) [static]

Get the time in milliseconds.

Get the time in milliseconds, counting from some arbitrary point. This time is only valid within this run of the program.

Returns:: millisecond time

Definition at line 94 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

bool ArUtil::localtime ( struct tm * result ) [static]

Call ArUtil::localtime() with the current time obtained by calling time(NULL).

Definition at line 979 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

bool ArUtil::localtime	(	const time_t *	timep,
		struct tm *	result
	)			`[static]`

Interface to native platform localtime() function. On Linux, this is equivalent to a call to localtime_r(timep, result) (which is threadsafe, including the returned pointer, since it uses a different time struct for each thread) On Windows, this is equivalent to a call to localtime(timep, result) (which is NOT threadsafe, since the same global time struct is shared by all threads)

Parameters:

	timep	Pointer to current time (Unix time_t; seconds since epoch).
	result	The result of calling platform localtime function is copied into this struct, so it must have been allocated.

Returns:: false on error (e.g. invalid input), otherwise true.

Example:

  struct tm t;
  ArUtil::localtime(time(NULL), &t);
  ArLog::log("Current month is %d.\n", t.tm_mon);

Definition at line 961 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::lower	(	char *	dest,
		const char *	src,
		size_t	maxLen
	)			`[static]`

Lowers a string from src into dest, make sure there's enough space.

This copies src into dest but makes it lower case make sure you have at least maxLen arrays that you're passing as dest... this allocates no memory

Definition at line 545 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

name of the file to size

Definition at line 194 of file ariaUtil.cpp.

void ArUtil::sleep ( unsigned int ms ) [static]

Sleep for the given number of milliseconds.

This sleeps for the given number of milliseconds... Note in linux it tries to sleep for 10 ms less than the amount given, which should wind up close to correct... Linux is broken in this regard and sleeps for too long... it sleeps for the ceiling of the current 10 ms range, then for an additional 10 ms... so: 11 to 20 ms sleeps for 30 ms... 21 to 30 ms sleeps for 40 ms... 31 to 40 ms sleeps for 50 ms... this continues on up to the values we care about of.. 81 to 90 ms sleeps for 100 ms... 91 to 100 ms sleeps for 110 ms... so we'll sleep for 10 ms less than we want to, which should put us about right... guh

Parameters:

the number of milliseconds to sleep for

Examples:: actsColorFollowingExample.cpp, armExample.cpp, gpsExample.cpp, netServerExample.cpp, robotConnectionCallbacks.cpp, simpleConnect.cpp, soundsQueueExample.cpp, and threadExample.cpp.
