## Detailed Description

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 a group name.

Writes a file path.

It is checked whether the path is located under $HOME. If so the path is written out with the user's home-directory replaced with $HOME. The path should be read back with readPathEntry()

Parameters:

  | pKey | The key to write.

  | bPersistent | If `bPersistent` is false, the entry's dirty flag will not be set and thus the entry will not be written to disk at deletion time.

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 group is not removed from the application specific config file, but from the global KDE config file.

Dollar sign expansion is initially OFF.

Parameters:

  | _bExpand | Tf true, dollar expansion is turned on.

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.

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.

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.

void KConfigBase::revertToDefault | ( | const QString & | key | ) |

Reverts the entry with key `key` in the current group in the application specific config file to either the system wide (default) value or the value specified in the global KDE config file.

To revert entries in the global KDE config file, the global KDE config file should be opened explicitly in a separate config object.

Parameters:

  | key | The key of the entry to revert.

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

Returns whether a default is specified for an entry in either the system wide configuration file or the global KDE config file.

If an application computes a default value at runtime for a certain entry, e.g. like:

     QColor computedDefault = kapp->palette().color(QPalette::Active, QColorGroup::Text)
     QColor color = config->readEntry(key, computedDefault);
     \encode

     Then it may wish to make the following check before
     writing back changes:
     \code
     if ( (value == computedDefault) && !config->hasDefault(key) )
        config->revertToDefault(key)
     else
        config->writeEntry(key, value)

This ensures that as long as the entry is not modified to differ from the computed default, the application will keep using the computed default and will follow changes the computed default makes over time.

Parameters:

  | key | The key of the entry to check.
