## Detailed Description

Abstract base class for KDE configuration entries. KDE Configuration Management abstract base class.

This class forms the base for all KDE configuration. It is an abstract base class, meaning that you cannot directly instantiate objects of this class. Either use KConfig (for usual KDE configuration) or KSimpleConfig (for special needs as in ksamba), or even KSharedConfig (stores values in shared memory).

All configuration entries are key, value pairs. Each entry also belongs to a specific group of related entries. All configuration entries that do not explicitly specify which group they are in are in a special group called the default group.

If there is a $ character in an entry, KConfigBase tries to expand environment variable and uses its value instead of its name. You can avoid this feature by having two consecutive $ characters in your config file which get expanded to one.

Note: the '=' char is not allowed in keys and the ']' char is not allowed in group name.

bool KConfigBase::deleteGroup | ( | const QString & | group,
|  | bool | bDeep = true,
|  | bool | bGlobal = false
| ) |

  | Deletes a configuration entry group. If the group is not empty and bDeep is false, nothing gets deleted and false is returned. If this group is the current group and it is deleted, the current group is undefined and should be set with setGroup() before the next operation on the configuration object. Parameters:
  group | The name of the group
  bDeep | Specify whether non-empty groups should be completely deleted (including their entries).
  bGlobal | If `bGlobal` is true, the pair is not removed from the application specific config file, but to the global KDE config file.
Returns: If the group is not empty and bDeep is false, deleteGroup returns false. Definition at line 1193 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References QMap::begin(), QMap::end(), internalEntryMap(), QMap::isEmpty(), putData(), and setDirty(). Referenced by KShortcutList::writeSettings().

void KConfigBase::setDollarExpansion | ( | bool | _bExpand = true | ) | `[inline]`

  | Turns on or off "dollar expansion" (see KConfigBase introduction) when reading config entries. Dollar sign expansion is initially OFF. Parameters:
  _bExpand | Tf true, dollar expansion is turned on.
Definition at line 1535 of file kconfigbase.h.

bool KConfigBase::isDollarExpansion | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Returns whether dollar expansion is on or off. It is initially OFF. Returns: true if dollar expansion is on. Definition at line 1542 of file kconfigbase.h.

void KConfigBase::rollback | ( | bool | bDeep = true | ) | `[virtual]`

  | Mark the config object as "clean," i.e. don't write dirty entries at destruction time. If `bDeep` is false, only the global dirty flag of the KConfig object gets cleared. If you then call writeEntry() again, the global dirty flag is set again and all dirty entries will be written at a subsequent sync() call. Classes that derive from KConfigBase should override this method and implement storage-specific behavior, as well as calling the KConfigBase::rollback() explicitly in the initializer. Parameters:
  bDeep | If true, the dirty flags of all entries are cleared, as well as the global dirty flag.
Reimplemented in KConfig. Definition at line 1668 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References bDirty. Referenced by KConfig::rollback(), and sync().

void KConfigBase::sync | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Flushes all changes that currently reside only in memory back to disk / permanent storage. Dirty configuration entries are written to the most specific file available. Asks the back end to flush out all pending writes, and then calls rollback(). No changes are made if the object has `readOnly` status. You should call this from your destructor in derivative classes. See also: rollback(), isReadOnly() Reimplemented in KSimpleConfig. Definition at line 1651 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References backEnd, bDirty, isReadOnly(), rollback(), and KConfigBackEnd::sync(). Referenced by KShortcutList::writeSettings(), and KConfig::~KConfig().

bool KConfigBase::isDirty | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

| Checks whether the config file has any dirty (modified) entries. Returns: true if the config file has any dirty (modified) entries. Definition at line 1579 of file kconfigbase.h. References bDirty. Referenced by KSimpleConfig::sync(), and KConfigINIBackEnd::sync().

virtual void KConfigBase::setReadOnly | ( | bool | _ro | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

  | Sets the config object's read-only status. Parameters:
  _ro | If true, the config object will not write out any changes to disk even if it is destroyed or sync() is called.
Definition at line 1588 of file kconfigbase.h. Referenced by KConfig::KConfig(), KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile(), and KSimpleConfig::KSimpleConfig().

bool KConfigBase::isReadOnly | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

bool KConfigBase::hasKey | ( | const QString & | key | ) | const

  | Checks whether the key has an entry in the currently active group. Use this to determine whether a key is not specified for the current group (hasKey() returns false). Keys with null data are considered nonexistent. Parameters:
  pKey | The key to search for.
Returns: If true, the key is available. Definition at line 181 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References KStdAccel::key(). Referenced by KLocale::languagesTwoAlpha(), readDateTimeEntry(), readListEntry(), and readPropertyEntry().

virtual QMap<QString, QString> KConfigBase::entryMap | ( | const QString & | group | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

  | Returns a map (tree) of entries for all entries in a particular group. Only the actual entry string is returned, none of the other internal data should be included. Parameters:
  group | A group to get keys from.
Returns: A map of entries in the group specified, indexed by key. The returned map may be empty if the group is not found. See also: QMap Implemented in KConfig.

virtual void KConfigBase::reparseConfiguration | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Reparses all configuration files. This is useful for programs that use stand alone graphical configuration tools. The base method implemented here only clears the group list and then appends the default group. Derivative classes should clear any internal data structures and then simply call parseConfigFiles() when implementing this method. See also: parseConfigFiles() Implemented in KConfig.

bool KConfigBase::isImmutable | ( |  | ) | const

| Checks whether this configuration file can be modified. Returns: whether changes may be made to this configuration file. Definition at line 220 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References getConfigState().

bool KConfigBase::groupIsImmutable | ( | const QString & | group | ) | const

  | Checks whether it is possible to change the given group. Parameters:
  group | the group to check
Returns: whether changes may be made to `group` in this configuration file. Definition at line 225 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References KEntry::bImmutable, getConfigState(), and lookupData().

bool KConfigBase::entryIsImmutable | ( | const QString & | key | ) | const

  | Checks whether it is possible to change the given entry. Parameters:
  the | key to check
Returns: whether the entry `key` may be changed in the current group in this configuration file. Definition at line 235 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References KEntry::bImmutable, KEntryKey::bLocal, KEntryKey::c_key, getConfigState(), KStdAccel::key(), lookupData(), and mGroup.

KConfigBase::ConfigState KConfigBase::getConfigState | ( |  | ) | const

| Returns the state of the app-config object. Possible return values are NoAccess (the application-specific config file could not be opened neither read-write nor read-only), ReadOnly (the application-specific config file is opened read-only, but not read-write) and ReadWrite (the application-specific config file is opened read-write).

void KConfigBase::setLocale | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

| Reads the locale and put in the configuration data struct. Note that this should be done in the constructor, but this is not possible due to some mutual dependencies in KApplication::init() Definition at line 134 of file kconfigbase.cpp. References aLocaleString, backEnd, KLocale::defaultLanguage(), KLocale::language(), KGlobal::locale(), KConfigBackEnd::setLocaleString(), and QString::utf8().

virtual KEntryMap KConfigBase::internalEntryMap | ( | const QString & | pGroup | ) | const`[protected, pure virtual]`

  | Returns a map (tree) of the entries in the specified group. This may or may not return all entries that belong to the config object. The only guarantee that you are given is that any entries that are dirty (i.e. modified and not yet written back to the disk) will be contained in the map. Some derivative classes may choose to return everything. Do not use this function, the implementation / return type are subject to change. Parameters:
  pGroup | The group to provide a KEntryMap for.
Returns: The map of the entries in the group. Implemented in KConfig. Referenced by KConfigINIBackEnd::writeConfigFile().

virtual KEntryMap KConfigBase::internalEntryMap | ( |  | ) | const`[protected, pure virtual]`

| Returns a map (tree) of the entries in the tree. Do not use this function, the implementation / return type are subject to change. Returns: A map of the entries in the tree. Implemented in KConfig. Referenced by deleteGroup().

virtual void KConfigBase::putData | ( | const KEntryKey & | _key,
|  | const KEntry & | _data,
|  | bool | _checkGroup = true
| ) | `[protected, pure virtual]`

  | Inserts a (key/value) pair into the internal storage mechanism of the configuration object. Classes that derive from KConfigBase will need to implement this method in a storage-specific manner. Do not use this function, the implementation / return type are subject to change. Parameters:
  _key | The key to insert. It contains information both on the group of the key and the key itself. If the key already exists, the old value will be replaced.
  _data | the KEntry that is to be stored.
  _checkGroup | When false, assume that the group already exists.

virtual KEntry KConfigBase::lookupData | ( | const KEntryKey & | _key | ) | const`[protected, pure virtual]`

  | Looks up an entry in the config object's internal structure. Classes that derive from KConfigBase will need to implement this method in a storage-specific manner. Do not use this function, the implementation and return type are subject to change. Parameters:
  _key | The key to look up It contains information both on the group of the key and the entry's key itself.
Returns: The KEntry value (data) found for the key. `KEntry.aValue` will be the null string if nothing was located. Implemented in KConfig. Referenced by entryIsImmutable(), groupIsImmutable(), KConfigINIBackEnd::parseSingleConfigFile(), and readEntry().
