Detailed Description

File and directories basic tools.

The example below shows how to manipulate the functions of this class to create first a directory which name corresponds to the user name and then create a file in this directory.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  std::string username;
  vpIoTools::getUserName(username);
  // Test if a username directory exist. If no try to create it
  if (vpIoTools::checkDirectory(username) == false) {
     try {
       // Create a directory with name "username"
       vpIoTools::makeDirectory(username);
     }
     catch (...) {
       std::cout << "Cannot create " << username << " directory" << std::endl;
       return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
   }
  // Create a empty filename with name "username/file.txt"
  std::ofstream f;
  std::string filename = username + "/file.txt";
  // Under Windows converts the filename string into "username\\file.txt"
  filename = vpIoTools::path(filename);
  std::cout << "Create: " << filename << std::endl;
  f.open(filename.c_str());
  f.close();
  // Rename the file
  std::string newfilename = username + "/newfile.txt";
  std::cout << "Rename: " << filename << " in: " << newfilename << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::rename(filename, newfilename) == false)
    std::cout << "Unable to rename: " << filename << std::endl;
  // Remove the file
  std::cout << "Remove: " << newfilename << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::remove(newfilename) == false)
    std::cout << "Unable to remove: " << newfilename << std::endl;
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The example below shows how to read a configuration file and how to create a name for experiment files. We assume the following file "/home/user/demo/config.txt" :

expNumber 2
save 0
lambda 0.4
use2D 0
use3D 1

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  // reading configuration file
  vpIoTools::loadConfigFile("/home/user/demo/config.txt");
  std::string nExp;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("expNumber", nExp); // nExp <- "2"
  double lambda;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("lambda", lambda);     // lambda <- 0.4
  bool use2D;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("use2D", use2D);          // use2D <- false
  bool use3D;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("use3D", use3D);          // use3D <- true
  bool doSave;vpIoTools::readConfigVar("save", doSave);         //  doSave <- false
  // creating name for experiment files
  vpIoTools::setBaseDir("/home/user/data");
  // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2"
  vpIoTools::setBaseName("exp" + nExp);
  // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2" since use2D==false
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("2D", use2D);
  // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2_3D"
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("3D", use3D);
  // full name <- "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4"
  vpIoTools::addNameElement("lambda", lambda);
  // Saving file.Would copy "/home/user/demo/config.txt" to
  // "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4_config.txt" if doSave was true
  vpIoTools::saveConfigFile(doSave);
  // create sub directory
  vpIoTools::createBaseNamePath();  // creates "/home/user/data/exp2_3D_lambda0.4/"
}

static

Return path to the default temporary folder:

on Windows it returns GetTempPath()
on Unix it returns /tmp/<username>

Warning: This function is not implemented on WINRT.

The following sample shows how to use this function to create unique temporary directories:

include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  std::string tmp_path = vpIoTools::getTempPath();
  std::cout << "Temp path: " << tmp_path << std::endl;
  std::string tmp_dir1 = vpIoTools::makeTempDirectory(tmp_path);
  std::cout << "Created unique temp dir1: " << tmp_dir1 << std::endl;
  std::string tmp_dir2_template = tmp_path + vpIoTools::path("/") + "dir_XXXXXX";
  std::string tmp_dir2 = vpIoTools::makeTempDirectory(tmp_dir2_template);
  std::cout << "Created unique temp dir2: " << tmp_dir2 << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::remove(tmp_dir1)) {
    std::cout << "Temp dir1 was deleted" << std::endl;
  }
  if (vpIoTools::remove(tmp_dir2)) {
    std::cout << "Temp dir2 was deleted" << std::endl;
  }
}

On Windows it produces:

Temp path: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp
Created unique temp dir1: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\ddaac8c3-7a95-447f-8a1c-fe31bb2426f9
Created unique temp dir2: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\dir_8b9e6e9a-fe9b-4b44-8382-fc2368dfed68
Temp dir1 was deleted
Temp dir2 was deleted

while on Unix it produces:

Temp path: /tmp/<username>
Created unique temp dir1: /tmp/<username>/AMIsXF
Created unique temp dir2: /tmp/<username>/dir_KP7119
Temp dir1 was deleted
Temp dir2 was deleted

◆ getUserName() [1/2]

void vpIoTools::getUserName ( std::string & username )

static

Get the user name.

Under unix, get the content of the LOGNAME environment variable. For most purposes (especially in conjunction with crontab), it is more useful to use the environment variable LOGNAME to find out who the user is, rather than the getlogin() function. This is more flexible precisely because the user can set LOGNAME arbitrarily.
Under windows, uses the GetUserName() function.

Parameters

username : The user name. When the username cannot be retrieved, set username to "unknown" string.

◆ getViSPImagesDataPath()

std::string vpIoTools::getViSPImagesDataPath ( )

static

Get ViSP images data path. ViSP images data can be installed from Debian or Ubuntu visp-images-data package. It can be also installed from visp-images-3.x.y.zip that can be found on https://visp.inria.fr/download page.

This function returns the path to the folder that contains the data.

It checks first if VISP_INPUT_IMAGE_PATH environment variable that gives the location of the data is set. In that case returns the content of this environment var.
Otherwise it checks if visp-images-data binary package (Ubuntu, Debian) is installed. In that case returns then /usr/share/visp-images-data".
If the path is not found, returns an empty string.

Create a new FIFO file. A FIFO file is a special file, similar to a pipe, but actually existing on the hard drive. It can be used to communicate data between multiple processes.

Warning: This function is only implemented on unix-like OS.

Parameters

[in] fifoname : Pathname of the fifo file to create.

Exceptions

vpIoException::invalidDirectoryName	: The dirname is invalid.
vpIoException::cantCreateDirectory	: If the file cannot be created.

◆ makeTempDirectory()

std::string vpIoTools::makeTempDirectory ( const std::string & dirname )

static

Create a new temporary directory with a unique name based on dirname parameter.

Warning: This function is not implemented on WINRT.

Parameters

dirname : Name of the directory to create, or location of an existing directory. If dirname corresponds to an existing directory, dirname is considered as a parent directory. The temporary directory is then created inside the parent directory. Otherwise, dirname needs to end with "XXXXXX", which will be converted into random characters in order to create a unique directory name.

Returns: String corresponding to the absolute path to the generated directory name.

Exceptions

vpIoException::invalidDirectoryName	: The dirname is invalid.
vpIoException::cantCreateDirectory	: If the directory cannot be created.

The following sample shows how to use this function to create unique temporary directories:

include <visp3/core/vpIoTools.h>
int main()
{
  std::string tmp_path = vpIoTools::getTempPath();
  std::cout << "Temp path: " << tmp_path << std::endl;
  std::string tmp_dir1 = vpIoTools::makeTempDirectory(tmp_path);
  std::cout << "Created unique temp dir1: " << tmp_dir1 << std::endl;
  std::string tmp_dir2_template = tmp_path + vpIoTools::path("/") + "dir_XXXXXX";
  std::string tmp_dir2 = vpIoTools::makeTempDirectory(tmp_dir2_template);
  std::cout << "Created unique temp dir2: " << tmp_dir2 << std::endl;
  if (vpIoTools::remove(tmp_dir1)) {
    std::cout << "Temp dir1 was deleted" << std::endl;
  }
  if (vpIoTools::remove(tmp_dir2)) {
    std::cout << "Temp dir2 was deleted" << std::endl;
  }
}

On Windows it produces:

Temp path: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp
Created unique temp dir1: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\ddaac8c3-7a95-447f-8a1c-fe31bb2426f9
Created unique temp dir2: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\dir_8b9e6e9a-fe9b-4b44-8382-fc2368dfed68
Temp dir1 was deleted
Temp dir2 was deleted

while on Unix it produces:

Temp path: /tmp/<username>
Created unique temp dir1: /tmp/<username>/AMIsXF
Created unique temp dir2: /tmp/<username>/dir_KP7119
Temp dir1 was deleted
Temp dir2 was deleted
