Detailed Description

This class provides utility functions to handle binary data files in the format prescribed by KStars.

The file format is designed specifically to support data that has the form of an array of structures. See data/README.fileformat for details. The methods use primitive C file I/O routines defined in stdio.h to obtain efficiency

Implements an interface to handle binary data files used by KStars

Returns
A QString containing the error message to be displayed

◆ getErrorNumber()

int BinFileHelper::getErrorNumber ( )

Get error number.

Returns
A number corresponding to the error

Definition at line 282 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ getField()

struct dataElement BinFileHelper::getField ( const QString & fieldName) const

Get field by name.

Parameters
fieldNameName of the field
Returns
A dataElement structure containing field data if the field exists, containing junk values if the field doesn't exist

Definition at line 296 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ getFieldCount()

int BinFileHelper::getFieldCount ( ) const
inline

Returns the number of fields as suggested by the field descriptor in the header.

Returns
Number of fields, or zero if the FD hasn't been read yet

Definition at line 163 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getFileHandle()

FILE * BinFileHelper::getFileHandle ( ) const
inline

Get the file handle corresponding to the currently open file.

Returns
The filehandle if a file is open, nullptr if no file is open

Definition at line 109 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getHeaderText()

QString BinFileHelper::getHeaderText ( ) const
inline

Returns the header text.

Returns
QString containing the header text if header has been read, blank QString otherwise

Definition at line 169 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getIndexTableOffset()

long BinFileHelper::getIndexTableOffset ( ) const
inline

Returns the offset at which the index table begins.

Returns
The value of itableOffset if FDUpdated, else zero

Definition at line 181 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getOffset()

long BinFileHelper::getOffset ( int id) const
inline

Returns the offset in the file corresponding to the given index ID.

Parameters
idID of the index entry whose offset is required
Returns
The offset corresponding to that index ID, 0 if the index hasn't been read

Definition at line 116 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getRecordCount() [1/2]

unsigned long BinFileHelper::getRecordCount ( ) const
inline

Returns the total number of records in the file.

Returns
The number of records in the file, or 0 if the index has not been read

Definition at line 129 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ getRecordCount() [2/2]

unsigned int BinFileHelper::getRecordCount ( int id) const
inline

Returns the number of records under the given index ID.

Parameters
idID of the index entry
Returns
The number of records under index that index ID, or 0 if the index has not been read

Definition at line 123 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ guessRecordSize()

int BinFileHelper::guessRecordSize ( ) const
inline

Return a guessed record size.

Note
The record size returned is guessed from the field descriptor table and may not be correct in many cases
Returns
A guessed size of the record, or zero if the FD hasn't been read yet

Definition at line 144 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ isField()

bool BinFileHelper::isField ( const QString & FieldName) const

Check whether a field exists.

Parameters
FieldNameName of the field
Returns
True if the field exists, false if it does not or the FD hasn't been read yet

Definition at line 311 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ openFile()

FILE * BinFileHelper::openFile ( const QString & fileName)

WARNING: This function may not be compatible in other locales, because it calls QString::toAscii.

Open a Binary data file and set the handle

Parameters
fileNameReference to QString containing the name of the file
Returns
Handle to the file if successful, nullptr if an error occurred, sets the error.

Definition at line 72 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ propertiesUpdated()

bool BinFileHelper::propertiesUpdated ( ) const
inline

Check whether file properties are real or bogus.

Returns
The value of private variable indexUpdated, which is true if data has been updated

Definition at line 103 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ readHeader()

bool BinFileHelper::readHeader ( )

Read the header and index table from the file and fill up the QVector s with the entries.

Returns
True if successful, false if an error occurred, sets the error.

Definition at line 250 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ setRecordSize()

void BinFileHelper::setRecordSize ( int rs)
inline

Override record size.

Note
To be used to override the guess in case the guess is wrong. This method should be called before calling readHeader(). Use this only if you are sure of the recordSize or are sure that the guess will not work.
Parameters
rsThe correct recordSize

Definition at line 153 of file binfilehelper.h.

◆ testFileExists()

bool BinFileHelper::testFileExists ( const QString & fileName)
static

Checks if a file exists.

WARNING: Might be incompatible in other locales

Definition at line 57 of file binfilehelper.cpp.

◆ unsigned_KDE_fseek()

int BinFileHelper::unsigned_KDE_fseek ( FILE * stream,
quint32 offset,
int whence )
static

Wrapper around fseek for large offsets.

fseek takes a signed long for the offset, since it can be either positive or negative. If the argument is a 32-bit unsigned integer, fseek will fail in most situations, since that will be interpreted as a number of the opposite sign. This wrapper circumvents that problem by repeatedly calling fseek twice if the offset is too large. Useful when 64-bit handling is really not necessary.

Returns
Zero on success. Else, error code of the first failing fseek call.
Note
Clearly, this method can move forward only. When we need one that goes back, we'll implement that.
