Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual PropertiesPtr Ice::Properties::clone ( )
throw ( )
pure virtual

Create a copy of this property set.

Returns
A copy of this property set.

◆ getCommandLineOptions()

virtual StringSeq Ice::Properties::getCommandLineOptions ( )
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a sequence of command-line options that is equivalent to this property set.

Each element of the returned sequence is a command-line option of the form key=value.

Returns
The command line options for this property set.

◆ getPropertiesForPrefix()

virtual PropertyDict Ice::Properties::getPropertiesForPrefix ( const ::std::string & prefix)
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get all properties whose keys begins with prefix.

If prefix is an empty string, then all properties are returned.

Parameters
prefixThe prefix to search for (empty string if none).
Returns
The matching property set.

◆ getProperty()

virtual::std::string Ice::Properties::getProperty ( const ::std::string & key)
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property by key.

If the property is not set, an empty string is returned.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
Returns
The property value.

setProperty

◆ getPropertyAsInt()

virtual Int Ice::Properties::getPropertyAsInt ( const ::std::string & key)
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property as an integer.

If the property is not set, 0 is returned.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
Returns
The property value interpreted as an integer.
See also
setProperty

◆ getPropertyAsIntWithDefault()

virtual Int Ice::Properties::getPropertyAsIntWithDefault ( const ::std::string & key,
Int value )
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property as an integer.

If the property is not set, the given default value is returned.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
valueThe default value to use if the property does not exist.
Returns
The property value interpreted as an integer, or the default value.
See also
setProperty

◆ getPropertyAsList()

virtual StringSeq Ice::Properties::getPropertyAsList ( const ::std::string & key)
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property as a list of strings.

The strings must be separated by whitespace or comma. If the property is not set, an empty list is returned. The strings in the list can contain whitespace and commas if they are enclosed in single or double quotes. If quotes are mismatched, an empty list is returned. Within single quotes or double quotes, you can escape the quote in question with a backslash, e.g. O'Reilly can be written as O'Reilly, "O'Reilly" or 'O\'Reilly'.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
Returns
The property value interpreted as a list of strings.

virtual StringSeq Ice::Properties::getPropertyAsListWithDefault ( const ::std::string & key,
const StringSeq & value )
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property as a list of strings.

The strings must be separated by whitespace or comma. If the property is not set, the default list is returned. The strings in the list can contain whitespace and commas if they are enclosed in single or double quotes. If quotes are mismatched, the default list is returned. Within single quotes or double quotes, you can escape the quote in question with a backslash, e.g. O'Reilly can be written as O'Reilly, "O'Reilly" or 'O\'Reilly'.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
valueThe default value to use if the property is not set.
Returns
The property value interpreted as list of strings, or the default value.

◆ getPropertyWithDefault()

virtual::std::string Ice::Properties::getPropertyWithDefault ( const ::std::string & key,
const ::std::string & value )
throw ( )
pure virtual

Get a property by key.

If the property is not set, the given default value is returned.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
valueThe default value to use if the property does not exist.
Returns
The property value or the default value.

◆ load()

virtual void Ice::Properties::load ( const ::std::string & file)
pure virtual

Load properties from a file.

Parameters
fileThe property file.

◆ parseCommandLineOptions()

virtual StringSeq Ice::Properties::parseCommandLineOptions ( const ::std::string & prefix,
const StringSeq & options )
pure virtual

Convert a sequence of command-line options into properties.

All options that begin with prefix. are converted into properties. If the prefix is empty, all options that begin with are converted to properties.

Parameters
prefixThe property prefix, or an empty string to convert all options starting with .
optionsThe command-line options.
Returns
The command-line options that do not start with the specified prefix, in their original order.

◆ parseIceCommandLineOptions()

virtual StringSeq Ice::Properties::parseIceCommandLineOptions ( const StringSeq & options)
pure virtual

Convert a sequence of command-line options into properties.

All options that begin with one of the following prefixes are converted into properties: Ice, IceBox, IceGrid, –IcePatch2, IceSSL, IceStorm, –Freeze, and Glacier2.

Parameters
optionsThe command-line options.
Returns
The command-line options that do not start with one of the listed prefixes, in their original order.

◆ setProperty()

virtual void Ice::Properties::setProperty ( const ::std::string & key,
const ::std::string & value )
pure virtual

Set a property.

To unset a property, set it to the empty string.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
