Typedefs

SbDirectory

Functions

SbDirectoryCanOpen

Indicates whether SbDirectoryOpen is allowed for the given path.

path: The path to be checked.

Declaration

bool SbDirectoryCanOpen(const char *path)

SbDirectoryClose

Closes an open directory stream handle. The return value indicates whether the directory was closed successfully.

directory: The directory stream handle to close.

Declaration

bool SbDirectoryClose(SbDirectory directory)

SbDirectoryCreate

Creates the directory path, assuming the parent directory already exists. This function returns true if the directory now exists (even if it existed before) and returns false if the directory does not exist.

path: The path to be created.

Declaration

bool SbDirectoryCreate(const char *path)

SbDirectoryGetNext

Populates out_entry with the next entry in the specified directory stream, and moves the stream forward by one entry.

This function returns true if there was a next directory, and false at the end of the directory stream.

directory: The directory stream from which to retrieve the next directory. out_entry: The variable to be populated with the next directory entry.

Declaration

bool SbDirectoryGetNext(SbDirectory directory, SbDirectoryEntry *out_entry)

SbDirectoryIsValid

Returns whether the given directory stream handle is valid.

Declaration

static bool SbDirectoryIsValid(SbDirectory directory)

SbDirectoryOpen

Opens the given existing directory for listing. This function returns kSbDirectoryInvalidHandle if it is not successful.

If out_error is provided by the caller, it will be set to the appropriate SbFileError code on failure.

out_error: An output parameter that, in case of an error, is set to the reason that the directory could not be opened.

Declaration

SbDirectory SbDirectoryOpen(const char *path, SbFileError *out_error)
