Detailed Description

A representation of the backend (= set of plugins) that can be mounted.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

kdb::tools::Backend::Backend ( )

Creates a new backend with a given name and mountpoint.

Parameters are needed for serialisation only, so you can keep them empty if you do not want to serialise.

void kdb::tools::Backend::addPlugin	(	std::string	pluginName,
		KeySet	pluginConf = `KeySet()`
	)

Add a plugin that can be loaded, meets all constraints.

Note: that this does not mean that the backend validates after it is added. It only means that the situation is not getting worse.

Exceptions

PluginCheckException or its subclasses if it was not possible to load the plugin

For validation

void kdb::tools::Backend::serialize ( kdb::KeySet & ret )

Precondition: name and mountpoint set Add plugin serialization into keyset ret.

Only can be done once! (see firstRef in Plugin)

void kdb::tools::Backend::setBackendConfig ( KeySet const & ks )

Backend Config to add to.

Parameters

ks	the config to add, should be below system/

void kdb::tools::Backend::setMountpoint	(	Key	mountpoint,
		KeySet	mountConf
	)

Sets the mountpoint for the backend.

Exceptions

MountpointInvalidException
MountpointAlreadyInUseException

Parameters

mountpoint	the key name will be used as mountpoint. It is allowed to pass a key with a KEY_CASCADING_NAME
mountConf	needs to include the keys below system/elektra/mountpoints

void kdb::tools::Backend::useConfigFile ( std::string file )

Precondition: : resolver needs to be loaded first Will check the filename and use it as configFile for this backend.

Exceptions

FileNotValidException if filename is not valid

bool kdb::tools::Backend::validated ( ) const

Returns: true if backend is validated; false if more plugins are needed to be valided
