Description

Abstract base class for configuration readers for SectionBasedConfiguration.

This class presents configuration contents as key-value pairs grouped into sections. This class does not try to make sense of section/key names.

The default implementation is InifileReader, but other variants (e.g. those that read the configuration from a database) can also be implemented.

Member Function Documentation

◆ initializeFrom()

virtual void initializeFrom ( cConfiguration *  bootConfig)
pure virtual

Initializes the object from a "boot-time" configuration (omnetpp.ini). For example, if a particular cConfigurationReader class uses a database as data source, it may take the connection parameters from the "boot-time" configuration.

◆ getFileName()

virtual const char* getFileName ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the name of the configuration file. Returns nullptr if this object is not using a configuration file.

◆ getDefaultBaseDirectory()

virtual const char* getDefaultBaseDirectory ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the directory defaulted filenames should be understood to be relative to. For example, if the name of the output vector file is not explicitly configured, it defaults to "omnetpp.vec" in the default base directory.

◆ getNumSections()

virtual int getNumSections ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of sections in the configuration.

◆ getSectionName()

virtual const char* getSectionName ( int  sectionId) const
pure virtual

Returns the name of the given section. sectionId should be in 0..getNumSections()-1.

◆ getNumEntries()

virtual int getNumEntries ( int  sectionId) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of entries in the given section. sectionId should be in 0..getNumSections()-1.

◆ getEntry()

virtual const KeyValue& getEntry ( int  sectionId,
int  entryId 
) const
pure virtual

Returns the given entry in the in the given section. sectionId should be in 0..getNumSections()-1. The lifetime of the returned entry may be limited, so references to entries should not be cached.

◆ dump()

virtual void dump ( ) const
pure virtual

Prints the configuration to the standard output. This can be useful for tracking down problems.
