Detailed Description

Cross platform FileIO/Directory handling.

Handles file input/output operations, as well as directory information and file information. GFile inherits directly from GMultiThreaded, therefore its implementation must be thread safe.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AppendBinaryWrite()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::AppendBinaryWrite ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for binary write with append.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the file will be created in the current working directory. File can now be written to with Write().

Parameters

[in] _file The file name of the file to open.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully opened the file.
FAILURE	A file is already open or the file could not be found/created.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A nullptr was passed in.

◆ AppendTextWrite()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::AppendTextWrite ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for text write with append.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the file will be created in the current working directory. File can now be written to with Write().

Parameters

[in] _file The file name of the file to open.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully opened the file.
FAILURE	A file is already open or the file could not be found/created.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A nullptr was passed in.

◆ CloseFile()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::CloseFile ( )

pure virtual

Flushes and closes the current file.

Return values

SUCCESS	File successfully flushed and closed.
FAILURE	A file is not currently open.

◆ FlushFile()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::FlushFile ( )

pure virtual

Flushes the current file.

Return values

SUCCESS	File successfully flushed.
FAILURE	A file is not currently open.

◆ GetCurrentWorkingDirectory()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::GetCurrentWorkingDirectory	(	char *	_outDir,
		unsigned int	_dirSize
	)

pure virtual

Retrieves the absolute path of the current working directory.

This is the directory we will look into for any file Open commands. This is by Windows standard guaranteed to be 255 or less.

Parameters

[out]	_outDir	An absolute path to the directory to set as the current working directory.
[in]	_dirSize	The size of _outDir.

Return values

SUCCESS	Successfully obtained the working directory.
FAILURE	The current working directory is invalid or _outDir was not big enough. _outDir will be null.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A nullptr was passed in or the size is 0.

◆ GetDirectorySize()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::GetDirectorySize ( unsigned int & _outSize )

pure virtual

Gets the number of files in the current working directory.

Parameters

[out] _outSize The number of files in the directory.

Return values

SUCCESS	Successfully counted the files in the directory.
FAILURE	Either currently working directory is invalid or count failed. _outSize will be -1.

◆ GetFilesFromDirectory()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::GetFilesFromDirectory	(	char *	_outFiles[],
		unsigned int	_numFiles,
		unsigned int	_fileNameSize
	)

pure virtual

Gets the names of all files in the current working directory.

This function will retrieve just the file names and extensions. Any Open function using these names will assume the files are in the current working directory. Any change of the current working directory will make the names generated by this function invalid until called again.

Parameters

[out]	_outFiles	Stores the names of the files retrieved.
[in]	_numFiles	The number of files.
[in]	_fileNameSize	The size of the file names.

Return values

SUCCESS	Successfully retrieved the file names.
FAILURE	Either current working directory is invalid or obtaining file names failed.

◆ GetFileSize()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::GetFileSize	(	const char *const	_file,
		unsigned int &	_outSize
	)

pure virtual

Gets the size of the specified file in bytes.

The filename passed into this function should be passed as a relative path. This function will assume the file passed in is in the current working directory and will look for it there.

Parameters

[in]	_file	The file to get the size of.
[out]	_outSize	will store the size of the file.

Return values

SUCCESS	Successfully retrieved the file size.
FILE_NOT_FOUND	Could not locate the file. Check that the current working directory is valid.

◆ OpenBinaryRead()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::OpenBinaryRead ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for binary read.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the function will fail.

Parameters

[in] _file The file name of the file to open.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully opened the file.
FILE_NOT_FOUND	File could not be found.
FAILURE	A file is already opened.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A null pointer was passed in.

◆ OpenBinaryWrite()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::OpenBinaryWrite ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for binary write with truncation.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the file will be created in the current working directory. File can now be read from with Read().

Parameters

[in] _file The file name of the file to open.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully opened the file.
FAILURE	A file is already open or file could not be found/created.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A nullptr was passed in.

◆ OpenTextRead()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::OpenTextRead ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for text read.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the function will fail. File can now be written to with Write().

Parameters

[in] _file The file name of the file to open.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully opened the file.
FILE_NOT_FOUND	File could not be found.
FAILURE	A file is already open.
INVALID_ARGUMENT	A nullptr was passed in.

◆ OpenTextWrite()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::OpenTextWrite ( const char *const _file )

pure virtual

Opens a file for text write with truncation.

The file name passed into the function should be passed like it is a relative path. The function will look in the current working directory for the file. If the file is not found in the current working directory, the file will be created in the current working directory. File can now be read from with Read().

Parameters

◆ SetCurrentWorkingDirectory()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::SetCurrentWorkingDirectory ( const char *const _dir )

pure virtual

Changes the current working directory.

This sets the directory we will look into with any of the Open functions or other directory functions. Paths that are not relative to the directory the program was ran from should be passed in as absolute paths.

Parameters

[in] _dir An absolute path to the directory to set as the current working directory.

Return values

SUCCESS	Succesfully set the current working directory.
FILE_NOT_FOUND	The directory could not be found.
FAILURE	Failed to open directory (Could be because it was not found).

◆ Write()

virtual GReturn GW::SYSTEM::GFile::Write	(	const char *const	_inData,
