# Util Namespace Reference

Contains utility classes and functions. Most of these are wrappers for common C functions that do not require pointers and memory considerations. More...

## Classes

class | Getopt
| Parse the command line options of a program. More...

## Functions

std::string | dirname (const std::string &path)
| Get the directory component from the path string. See dirname(3).
std::string | basename (const std::string &path, bool delsuffix)
| Get the filename component from the path string. See basename(3). If the delsuffix parameter is true, the suffix will be removed.
std::string | suffix (const std::string &path)
| Get the suffix from the path string. Normally, the suffix is the substring of the basename of path from the last '.' to the end of the string.
bool | strtol (const char *nptr, long &n)
| Convert a C string to a long value, which is returned in n. Returns true if the conversion is successful, else false. n is not modified if the conversion is unsuccessful. See strtol(2).

## Detailed Description

Contains utility classes and functions. Most of these are wrappers for common C functions that do not require pointers and memory considerations.

## Function Documentation

std::string Util::basename | ( | const std::string & | path,
|  | bool | delsuffix = `false`
| ) |

| Get the filename component from the path string. See basename(3). If the delsuffix parameter is true, the suffix will be removed. This function can handle Windows paths to some extent: c:\bar should be fine, \\bigsrv\foo also, but \\bigsrv alone doesn't work.

std::string Util::dirname | ( | const std::string & | path | ) |

| Get the directory component from the path string. See dirname(3). This function can handle Windows paths to some extent: c:\bar should be fine, \\bigsrv\foo also, but \\bigsrv alone doesn't work.
