virtual ~RandomFile ()

Destroy a random access file or it's derived class. bool initial (void)

This method should be called right after a RandomFile derived object has been created. off_t getCapacity (void)

Get current file capacity. virtual Error restart (void)

This method is commonly used to close and re-open an existing database. Error getErrorNumber (void)

Return current error id. char * getErrorString (void)

Return current error string. bool operator! (void)

RandomFile (const char *name=NULL)

Create an unopened random access file. RandomFile (const RandomFile &rf)

Default copy constructor. Error error (Error errid, char *errstr=NULL)

Post an error event. Error error (char *err)

Post an extended string error message. void setError (bool enable)

Used to enable or disable throwing of exceptions on errors. Error setCompletion (Complete mode)

Used to set file completion modes. void setTemporary (bool enable)

Used to set the temporary attribute for the file. virtual Attr initialize (void)

This method is used to initialize a newly created file as indicated by the 'initial' flag. void final (void)

Close the file.

Create an unopened random access file.

Default copy constructor.

Destroy a random access file or it's derived class.

Post an extended string error message.

Returns: errExtended.

Parameters: errstr error string.

Post an error event.

Returns: error code.

Parameters: errid error code.

errstr error message string.

Close the file.

Get current file capacity.

Returns: total file size.

Return current error id.

Returns: last error identifier set.

Return current error string.

Returns: last error string set.

This method should be called right after a RandomFile derived object has been created.

This method will invoke initialize if the object is newly created, and set file access permissions appropriately.

Returns: true if file had to be initialized.

This method is used to initialize a newly created file as indicated by the 'initial' flag.

This method also returns the file access permissions that should be associated with the file. This method should never be called directly, but is instead used to impliment the 'Initial' method. Typically one would use this to build an empty database shell when a previously empty database file is created.

Returns: access, or attrInvalid if should be removed.

This method is commonly used to close and re-open an existing database.

This may be used when the database has been unlinked and an external process provides a new one to use.

Reimplemented in ost::ThreadFile, and ost::SharedFile.

Used to set file completion modes.

Returns: errSuccess if okay.

Parameters: mode completion mode.

Used to enable or disable throwing of exceptions on errors.

Parameters: enable true if errors will be thrown.

Used to set the temporary attribute for the file.

Temporary files are automatically deleted when closed.

Parameters: enable true for marking as temporary.
