\brief Helper class to retrieve paths in the file system layout.
|
|
|
|
The BPathFinder provides two sets of methods for retrieving paths:
|
|
FindPath() for getting a single path in an installation location specified
|
|
via a constructor or a SetTo() invocation, and the static FindPaths() for
|
|
getting a list of paths for all installation locations.

|
|
\brief Creates an object referring to an installation location based on a
|
|
loaded image file.
|
|
|
|
When initialized with this constructor a FindPath() method called afterward
|
|
determines the path of the image (i.e. executable, library, or add-on) file
|
|
associated with \a codePointer, a pointer to a location in the code or
|
|
static data of an image loaded in the caller's team. Based on that path the
|
|
path constant passed to FindPath() will be evaluated. In most cases that
|
|
means first determining the path of the installation location from the path.
|
|
|
|
If \a dependency is specified, instead of determining the installation
|
|
location path from the image path, the installation location path of the
|
|
dependency \a dependency of the package containing the image file is used.

|
|
\brief Retrieves a path in the file system layout based.
|
|
|
|
Depending on how the object was initialized this method starts with a path
|
|
(from an image file or as given) and based on it evaluates \a baseDirectory.
|
|
In most cases that means first determining the path of the installation
|
|
location from the path, then appending the relative path corresponding to
|
|
the given \a baseDirectory constant, and finally appending \a subPath, if
|
|
given.
|
|
|
|
If a dependency string was passed to the previous constructor or SetTo()
|
|
method, instead of determining the installation location path from the
|
|
initial path, the installation location path of the dependency of the
|
|
package containing the file the initial path refers to is used.
|
|
|
|
If \a baseDirectory specifies a path that is architecture dependent,
|
|
\a architecture is used for constructing the path. If \a architecture is
|
|
\c NULL, the architecture associated with the initial path (as returned by
|
|
guess_architecture_for_path()) is used. Note that if an image was specified,
|
|
this is the same as the caller's architecture (as returned by
|
|
get_architecture()).
|
|
|
|
If \c B_FIND_PATH_IMAGE_PATH or \c B_FIND_PATH_PACKAGE_PATH are
|
|
specified, \a subPath is ignored. In the former case, which is only valid,
|
|
if an image was specified for initialization, \a dependency is ignored as
|
|
well and the path of the image file is returned. In the latter case the path
|
|
of the package containing the file the initial path refers to, respectively,
|
|
if \a dependency was specified, that of the package \a dependency was
|
|
resolved to is returned.
