Detailed Description

Builds a counted argument vector (ala argc/argv) from either a string or a set of separate tokens. Can substitute environment variable values for tokens that are environment variable references.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ACE_ARGV::States

Enumeration values: TO_STRING  ACE_ARGV converts buf[] to ACE_TCHAR *argv[]. TO_PTR_ARRAY  ACE_ARGV converts ACE_TCHAR *argv[] to buf[]. ITERATIVE  Builds buf[] or ACE_TCHAR *argv[] iteratively with <add>.

---

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_ARGV::ACE_ARGV (  const ACE_TCHAR  buf[], int  substitute_env_args = 1 )

Splits the specified string into an argument vector, split at whitespace. Parameters: buf  An ACE_TCHAR array to split into tokens for the vector. substitute_env_args  If non-zero, any token that is an an environment variable reference ($VAR) will have its environment variable value in the resultant vector in place of the environment variable name. This only works if the token is an environment variable reference and nothing else; it doesn't substitute environment variable references within a token. For example, $HOME/file will not substitute the value of the HOME environment variable.

ACE_ARGV::ACE_ARGV (  ACE_TCHAR *  argv[], int  substitute_env_args = 1 )

Converts argv into a linear string. If substitute_env_args is enabled then we'll substitute the environment variables for each $ENV encountered in the string. The <buf> operation is not allowed on an ACE_ARGV created this way.

ACE_ARGV::ACE_ARGV (  ACE_TCHAR *  first_argv[], ACE_TCHAR *  second_argv[], int  substitute_env_args = 1 )

Creates an ACE_ARGV which is the concatenation of the first_argv and the second argv. The argv arguments should be null pointer terminated.

ACE_ARGV::ACE_ARGV (  int  substitute_env_args = 1  )

Entry point for creating an ACE_TCHAR *[] command line iteratively via the <add> method. When this constructor is used, the <iterative> state is enabled. The <argv> and <buf> methods are allowed, and the result is recreated when called multiple times. The subscript operator is not allowed.

ACE_ARGV::~ACE_ARGV (  void   )

Destructor.

ACE_ARGV::ACE_ARGV (  const ACE_ARGV &   )  [private]

Copy Constructor not implemented.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_ARGV::add (  ACE_TCHAR *  argv[]  )

Add another argv array. The argv parameter must be NULL terminated. This only works in the <iterative> state. Returns -1 on failure and 0 on success.

int ACE_ARGV::add (  const ACE_TCHAR *  next_arg  )

Add another argument. This only works in the <iterative> state. Note that this method does not copy <next_arg>, nor does it assume ownership of managing its memory, i.e., the caller is responsible for memory management. Returns -1 on failure and 0 on success.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_ARGV::argc (  void   )  const

Returns argc.

ACE_INLINE ACE_TCHAR ** ACE_ARGV::argv (  void   )

Returns the argv array. Caller should not delete this memory since the ACE_ARGV destructor will delete it. If the caller modifies the array in the iterative mode, the changes are not saved to the queue.

int ACE_ARGV::argv_to_string (  ACE_TCHAR **  argv, ACE_TCHAR *&  buf )  [private]

Returns the string created from argv in buf and returns the number of arguments.

ACE_INLINE const ACE_TCHAR * ACE_ARGV::buf (  void   )

Returns the buf. Caller should not delete this memory since the ACE_ARGV destructor will delete it.

int ACE_ARGV::create_buf_from_queue (  void   )  [private]

Creates buf_ from the queue, deletes previous buf_.

void ACE_ARGV::dump (  void   )  const

Dump the state of an object.

ACE_ARGV ACE_ARGV::operator= (  const ACE_ARGV &   )  [private]

Assignment '=' operator not implemented.

ACE_INLINE const ACE_TCHAR * ACE_ARGV::operator[] (  size_t  index  )

Returns the <index>th string in the ARGV array.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_ARGV::state (  void   )  const

What state is this ACE_ARGV in?

int ACE_ARGV::string_to_argv (  void   )  [private]

Converts buf_ into the ACE_TCHAR *argv[] format.
