Detailed Description

This namespace is for the libtool library.

Note

You have to link against libelektratools if you want to use functionality from it. Contrary to classes in namespace kdb it is not header-only.

Function Documentation

operator!=()

bool kdb::tools::operator!=	(	PluginSpec const &	self,
		PluginSpec const &	other
	)

Compare two pluginspec if their value is not equal.

Note

the content of getConfig() will be only compared with keynames, not content!

operator<<()

std::ostream & kdb::tools::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	os,
		Backend const &	b
	)

Prints the current status.

Parameters

os	stream to print to
b	backend to get status from

Returns

ref to stream

operator==()

bool kdb::tools::operator==	(	PluginSpec const &	self,
		PluginSpec const &	other
	)

Compare two pluginspec if their value is equal.

Note

the content of getConfig() will be only compared with keynames, not content!

parseArguments() [1/2]

template<typename Iterator >

PluginSpecVector kdb::tools::parseArguments	(	Iterator	first,
		Iterator	last
	)

Parse a complete commandline that is already tokenized in pluginname pluginconfig.

Template Parameters

Iterator

forward iterator type

Parameters

cmdline

contains space separated plugins with optional plugin configurations

Returns

a parsed PluginSpecVector

parseArguments() [2/2]

PluginSpecVector kdb::tools::parseArguments

(

std::string const &

cmdline

)

Parse a complete commandline.

Parameters

cmdline

contains space separated plugins with optional plugin configurations

Note

currently whitespaces are not allowed within pluginname or config, use iterator interface parseArguments() if you need it.

parsePluginArguments()

KeySet kdb::tools::parsePluginArguments	(	std::string const &	pluginArguments,
		std::string const &	basepath
	)

Parse a string containing information to create a KeySet.

Parameters

pluginArguments

comma (,) to separate key=value, contains no whitespaces

Returns

newly created keyset with the information found in the string
