static SmartPtr<Reader> code::Reader::getReader

(

const URL &

url

)

[static, inherited]

Returns a handle to a reader for the given URL.

This is useful when you want to make iterative calls to read() or LineReader::readLine().

static void code::WebReader::introduce

(

[static]

static void code::Reader::introduceWDSSIIReaders

[static, inherited]

virtual int code::WebReader::open

(

const URL &

url

)

[virtual]

Implements code::SchemeReader.

static int code::Reader::read	(	const URL &	url,
		std::string &	s,
		long	offset = 0,
		size_t	max_len = 0
	)			[static, inherited]

Identical to read(const URL&,Buffer&,long,size_t) except it takes a string instead of a buffer.

static int code::Reader::read	(	const URL &	url,
		Buffer &	buffer,
		long	offset = 0,
		size_t	max_len = 0
	)			[static, inherited]

Convenience function to read `url' into `buf'.

Handles remote, local, compressed, and uncompressed files transparently.

Parameters:

	url	the data source.
	buffer	where source's contents will be stored.
	offset	number of bytes to skip before read() begins storing.
	max_len	if nonzero, maximum number of bytes to store in buf.

Returns:

the number of bytes read, or a negative number on error.

virtual int code::WebReader::read	(	Buffer &	,
		long	offset = 0,
		size_t	max_bytes = 0
	)			[virtual]

See also:

static int read (URL, Buffer, offset, long, size_t);

Implements code::Reader.

static int code::Reader::readRaw	(	const URL &	url,
		Buffer &	b,
		long	offset = 0,
		size_t	max_len = 0
	)			[static, inherited]

Identical to read() except except it doesn't uncompress files.

This is useful when mirroring compressed files to avoid decompress / recompress steps.

static SmartPtr<XML::Document> code::Reader::readXMLDocument

(

const URL &

url

)

[static, inherited]

Returns an XML::Document created by passing the contents of `url' to XML::Parser::parse().
