Member Function Documentation

virtual int ACE_Configuration::enumerate_sections ( const ACE_Configuration_Section_Key key,
int  index,
ACE_TString name 
) [pure virtual]

Enumerates through the subsections in a section.

Parameters:
key Section key to iterate through.
index Iteration position. Must be zero on the first call to iterate through key. Increment index by one on each successive call to this method.
name Receives the subsection's name.
Note:
You may not modify the key section while enumerating. If the section is modified during enumeration, results are undefined; you must restart the enumeration from index 0.
Return values:
0 for success, name has a valid name.
1 there are no more subsections in the section.
-1 for error; ACE_OS::last_error() retrieves error code.

Implemented in ACE_Configuration_Win32Registry, and ACE_Configuration_Heap.

virtual int ACE_Configuration::enumerate_values ( const ACE_Configuration_Section_Key key,
int  index,
ACE_TString name,
VALUETYPE type 
) [pure virtual]

Enumerates through the values in a section.

Parameters:
key Section key to iterate through.
index Iteration position. Must be zero on the first call to iterate through key. Increment index by one on each successive call to this method.
name Receives the value's name.
type Receives the value's data type.
Note:
You may not delete or add values while enumerating. If the section is modified during enumeration, results are undefined; you must restart the enumeration from index 0.
Return values:
0 for success, name and type are valid.
1 there are no more values in the section.
-1 for error; ACE_OS::last_error() retrieves error code.

Implemented in ACE_Configuration_Win32Registry, and ACE_Configuration_Heap.
