Member Function Documentation

std::vector< std::string > kdb::tools::ModulesPluginDatabase::listAllPlugins ( ) const

virtual

list all plugins

If Elektra is compiled with plugins, it will search for shared libraries. In any case, if no shared libraries were found it will fallback to an internal list (plugins that were compiled together with Elektra).

Returns

a list of all available plugins

Implements kdb::tools::PluginDatabase.

Reimplemented in kdb::tools::MockPluginDatabase.

std::string kdb::tools::ModulesPluginDatabase::lookupInfo ( PluginSpec const &  whichplugin, std::string const &  which  ) const

virtual

lookup contract clauses or dynamic information

Parameters

whichplugin	about which plugin?
which	about which clause in the contract?

Returns

the clause of the contract

Implements kdb::tools::PluginDatabase.

Reimplemented in kdb::tools::MockPluginDatabase.

PluginSpec kdb::tools::ModulesPluginDatabase::lookupMetadata ( std::string const &  which ) const

virtual

lookup which plugin handles meta data

Parameters

which

the meta data of interest

Returns

the best suited plugin specification which provides it

Implements kdb::tools::PluginDatabase.

PluginSpec kdb::tools::ModulesPluginDatabase::lookupProvides ( std::string const &  provides ) const

virtual

lookup which plugin is a provider for that plugin

Note

will return a PluginSpec with getName() == provides if the string provides actually is a plugin name.

Parameters

provides

is the provider to find

Exceptions

NoPlugin

if no plugin that provides the functionality could be found

Returns

the plugin itself or the best suited plugin specification which provides it

Implements kdb::tools::PluginDatabase.
