Detailed Description

Class for handling low level file I/O.

The xbFile class is used as an abstraction layer to isolate the library from the nuances of different operating systems and machine architectures.

This module handles low level file I/O and is a base class for the (dbf) table, (dbt) memo and (ndx,mdx) index classes. Files are opened and manipulated via methods in the xbFile class.
This class handles:
1) Big and little endian reads/writes
2) 32 or 64 bit system calls, depending on OS
3) Various different c/c++ calls to open/close/read/write based on OS and compiler version

If you are wanting to port this library to a new platform, start with this class. This class could be used if you want to write a platform independent program that needs R/W file access.

◆ DetermineXbaseMemoVersion()

xbInt16 xb::xbFile::DetermineXbaseMemoVersion ( unsigned char cFileTypeByte ) const

Determine which version the memo (dbt) file is.

This routine uses the first byte in the dbf file to determine which memo file version is in use. The main difference between version 3 and 4 is that version 4 will reuse blocks if they become available. Version 3 does not.

Parameters

cFileTypeByte is an output field and is one of:

0 - none
3 - Dbase III+
4 - Dbase IV

Returns: Return Codes

◆ DetermineXbaseTableVersion()

xbInt16 xb::xbFile::DetermineXbaseTableVersion ( unsigned char cFileTypeByte ) const

Determine xbase dbf version.

This routine is used to determine which version of the Xbase classes can be used for a given DBF file.

It attempts to use the highest version compiled into the library.

References:
This routine uses the first byte from the dbf file.
Per DBase documentation:
Valid dBASE for Windows table file, bits 0-2 indicate version number: 3 for dBASE Level 5, 4 for dBASE Level 7.
Bit 3 and bit 7 indicate presence of a dBASE IV or dBASE for Windows memo file;
Bits 4-6 indicate the presence of a dBASE IV SQL table;
Bit 7 indicates the presence of any .DBT memo file (either a dBASE III PLUS type or a dBASE IV or dBASE for Windows memo file).

Bachmann spec (used extensively in library build), page 7 - does not match DBase documentation

returns
0 - unknown
3 - Dbase level 3
4 - Dbase level 4
5 - Dbase Level 5 (future)
7 - Dbase Level 7 (future)

1x - Clipper files (future)
2x - Foxbase files (future)

Disabling auto commit requires the application execute explicit updates using dbf->Put() and dbf->AppendRecord(). With auto commit on, the library posts updates automatically when moving off the current record or closing a file.

Parameters

bDefaultAutoCommit xbTrue - Enable default auto commit.
xbFalse - Disable default auto commit.

◆ SetDefaultDateFormat()

void xb::xbSsv::SetDefaultDateFormat ( const xbString & sDefaultDateFormat )

inherited

Set the default date format.

Parameters

sDefaultDateFormat Set the default date format.

◆ SetDefaultLogDirectory()

void xb::xbSsv::SetDefaultLogDirectory ( const xbString & sDefaultLogDirectory )

inherited

◆ SetDirectory()

void xb::xbFile::SetDirectory ( const xbString & sDirectory )

Set the directory.

Parameters

This routine determines the Endian-ness at run time instead of compile time as some processers (ie; Sparc,ARM) can be switched either way. This routine is called automatically by the library at startup and does not need to be called in an application program.

◆ SetFileName()

void xb::xbFile::SetFileName ( const xbString & sFileName )

Set the filename.

This routine builds out two internal variables from the input file name
sFileName - the file name part

Set the fully qualifed filename.

Parameters

sFqFileName - Fully qualifed input file name

void xb::xbSsv::SetMultiUser ( xbBool bMultiUser )

inherited

Get the multi user setting.

Parameters

bMultiUser xbTrue - Turn on Multi user mode.
xbFalse - Turn off Multi user mode.
