## Detailed Description

Essentially a raw memory buffer which implements the abstract iFile interface.

Definition at line 34 of file memfile.h.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum csMemFile::Disposition

Disposition of memory buffer at destruction time.

Enumerator:

  DISPOSITION_DELETE | Deallocate with delete[].
  DISPOSITION_FREE | Deallocate with free().
  DISPOSITION_IGNORE | Ignore; assume that outside agent owns buffer.

Definition at line 39 of file memfile.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

csMemFile::csMemFile | ( |  | ) |

| Construct an empty memory file.

csMemFile::csMemFile | ( | const char * | ,
|  | size_t |
| ) |

| Construct a memory file from an existing memory buffer but do not free.

csMemFile::csMemFile | ( | char * | ,
|  | size_t | ,
|  | Disposition | = `DISPOSITION_DELETE`
| ) |

| Construct a memory file from an existing memory buffer and free later. Note that when writing to the buffer, the original buffer may be discarded and a new one created due required resizing.

csMemFile::csMemFile | ( | iDataBuffer * | buf,
|  | bool | readOnly
| ) |

Construct a memory file from an existing data buffer.

Parameters:

  | buf | The data buffer to use.
  | readOnly | Whether to treat the buffer as read-only. If `true`, writing to the memory file will create a copy of the buffer. If `false`, changes will affect the buffer. Note that when writing to the buffer, the original buffer may be discarded and a new one created due required resizing.

virtual csMemFile::~csMemFile | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual bool csMemFile::AtEOF | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Returns true if the stream is at end-of-file, else false. Implements iFile.

virtual void csMemFile::Flush | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Flush stream. Implements iFile.

virtual csPtr<iDataBuffer> csMemFile::GetAllData | ( | bool | nullterm = `false` | ) | `[virtual]`

Request whole content of the file as a single data buffer.

Parameters:

  | nullterm | Set this to true if you want a null char to be appended to the buffer (e.g. for use with string functions.)

Remarks:
  Null-termination might have a performance penalty (depending upon where the file is stored.) Use only when needed.

Returns:
  The complete data contained in the file; or an invalidated pointer if this object does not support this function (e.g. write-only VFS files). Check for an invalidated result via csRef<>::IsValid(). Do not modify the contained data!

Implements iFile.

virtual const char* csMemFile::GetData | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Returns a pointer to the memory buffer. May return 0 if memory file is empty. Use GetSize() for size info.

virtual const char* csMemFile::GetName | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Returns "#csMemFile". Implements iFile.

virtual size_t csMemFile::GetPos | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Query current file pointer. Implements iFile.

virtual size_t csMemFile::GetSize | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Query file size. Implements iFile.

virtual int csMemFile::GetStatus | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Check (and clear) file last error status.

See also:
  VFS_STATUS_ACCESSDENIED

Implements iFile.

virtual size_t csMemFile::Read | ( | char * | Data,
|  | size_t | DataSize
| ) | `[virtual]`

Read DataSize bytes and place them into the buffer at which Data points.

Parameters:

  | Data | Pointer to the buffer into which the data should be read. The buffer should be at least DataSize bytes in size.
  | DataSize | Number of bytes to read.

Returns:
  The number of bytes actually read. If an error occurs, zero is returned. Invoke GetStatus() to retrieve the error code.

Implements iFile.

virtual bool csMemFile::SetPos | ( | size_t | newpos | ) | `[virtual]`

Set new file pointer.

Parameters:

  | newpos | New position in file.

Returns:
  True if the operation succeeded, else false.

Implements iFile.

virtual size_t csMemFile::Write | ( | const char * | Data,
|  | size_t | DataSize
| ) | `[virtual]`

Write DataSize bytes from the buffer at which Data points.

Parameters:

  | Data | Pointer to the data to be written.
  | DataSize | Number of bytes to write.

Returns:
  The number of bytes actually written. If an error occurs, zero is returned. Invoke GetStatus() to retrieve the error code.

Implements iFile.
