Function Documentation

◆ commonKeyName()

Key kdb::tools::helper::commonKeyName ( Key  key1,
Key  key2 
)

Find common name between two keys.

Returns
the longest common name found

◆ rebaseKey()

Key kdb::tools::helper::rebaseKey ( const Key key,
const Key oldParent,
const Key newParent 
)

Rebases the supplied key from the old parent to the new parent.

Parameters
keythe key to be rebased
oldParentthe old parent of the key
newParentthe new parent of the key
Returns
a rebased copy of the supplied key
Exceptions
InvalidRebaseExceptionif the key is not below the old parent

◆ rebasePath()

string kdb::tools::helper::rebasePath ( const Key key,
const Key oldParent,
const Key newParent 
)

Rebases the relative path of the passed key from the old parent to the new parent and returns the new path.

For example a key /user/example/config/key1 with the oldparent /user/example and the new parent /user/newexample/newpath would result in /user/newexample/newpath/config/key1

If any of the parent keys is a cascading key the namespace of the key to be rebased is assumed instead.

Parameters
keythe key whose path should be rebased
oldParentthe old parent of the key
newParentthe new parent of the key
Returns
the rebased path
Exceptions
InvalidRebaseExceptionif the key is not below the old parent

◆ removeNamespace()

void kdb::tools::helper::removeNamespace ( Key key)

Removes the namespace.

Parameters
keywill be made to a cascading key
