ost::RandomFile - The purpose of this class is to define a base class for low level random file access that is portable between Win32 and Posix systems.
#include <file.h>
Inherits ost::Mutex, and ost::File.
Inherited by ost::MappedFile, ost::SharedFile, and ost::ThreadFile.
virtual ~RandomFile ()
Destroy a random access file or it's derived class. bool initial (void)
This method should be called right after a RandomFile derived object
has been created. off_t getCapacity (void)
Get current file capacity. virtual Error restart (void)
This method is commonly used to close and re-open an existing database.
Error getErrorNumber (void)
Return current error id. char * getErrorString (void)
Return current error string. bool operator! (void)
RandomFile (const char *name=NULL)
Create an unopened random access file. RandomFile (const
RandomFile &rf)
Default copy constructor. Error error (Error errid, char
*errstr=NULL)
Post an error event. Error error (char *err)
Post an extended string error message. void setError (bool enable)
Used to enable or disable throwing of exceptions on errors. Error
setCompletion (Complete mode)
Used to set file completion modes. void setTemporary (bool enable)
Used to set the temporary attribute for the file. virtual Attr
initialize (void)
This method is used to initialize a newly created file as indicated by the
'initial' flag. void final (void)
Close the file.

The purpose of this class is to define a base class for low level random file access that is portable between Win32 and Posix systems.
This class is a foundation both for optimized thread shared and traditional locked file access that is commonly used to build database services, rather than the standard C++ streaming file classes.
Author
Portable random disk file access.
Create an unopened random access file.
Default copy constructor.
Destroy a random access file or it's derived class.
Post an extended string error message.
Returns
Parameters
References ost::error().
Post an error event.
Returns
Parameters
Close the file.
Get current file capacity.
Returns
Return current error id.
Returns
Return current error string.
Returns
This method should be called right after a RandomFile derived object has been created. This method will invoke initialize if the object is newly created, and set file access permissions appropriately.
Returns
This method is used to initialize a newly created file as indicated by the 'initial' flag. This method also returns the file access permissions that should be associated with the file. This method should never be called directly, but is instead used to impliment the 'Initial' method. Typically one would use this to build an empty database shell when a previously empty database file is created.
Returns
This method is commonly used to close and re-open an existing database. This may be used when the database has been unlinked and an external process provides a new one to use.
Reimplemented in ost::SharedFile, and ost::ThreadFile.
Used to set file completion modes.
Returns
Parameters
Used to enable or disable throwing of exceptions on errors.
Parameters
Used to set the temporary attribute for the file. Temporary files are automatically deleted when closed.
