PathResolver::SearchPathStatus System::PathResolver::check_search_path ( const std::string &  search_path )

static

• search_path the name of a path-like environment variable

Returns

the result of the verification. Can be one of Ok, EnvironmentVariableUndefined, UnknownDirectory

string System::PathResolver::find_directory ( const std::string &  logical_file_name, const std::string &  search_path, SearchType  search_type = LocalSearch  )

static

• logical_file_name the name of the directory to locate in the search path
• search_path the name of a path-like environment variable
• search_type characterizes the type of search. Can be either LocalSearch or RecursiveSearch

Returns

the physical name of the located directory or empty string if not found

static

• logical_file_name the name of the directory to locate in the search path
• search_list the prioritized list of possible locations separated by the usual path separator
• search_type characterizes the type of search. Can be either LocalSearch or RecursiveSearch

Returns

the physical name of the located directory or empty string if not found

Returns

the physical name of the located file or empty string if not found

static

  // The following functionality was in the original PathResolver, but I believe
  // that it's WRONG. It extracts the filename of the requested item, and searches
  // for that if the preceding search fails. i.e., if you're looking for "B/a.txt",
  // and that fails, it will look for just "a.txt" in the search list.

  // if (! found && lfn.filename() != lfn ) {
  //   result = "";
  //   PR_find (lfn.filename(), search_list, PR_regular_file, search_type, result);
