Member Typedef Documentation

◆ ArchiveMapIterator

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ArchiveManager()

Ogre::ArchiveManager::ArchiveManager ( )

Default constructor - should never get called by a client app.

◆ ~ArchiveManager()

virtual Ogre::ArchiveManager::~ArchiveManager ( )
virtual

Default destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addArchiveFactory()

void Ogre::ArchiveManager::addArchiveFactory ( ArchiveFactory factory)

Adds a new ArchiveFactory to the list of available factories.

Remarks
Plugin developers who add new archive codecs need to call this after defining their ArchiveFactory subclass and Archive subclasses for their archive type.

◆ getArchiveIterator()

ArchiveMapIterator Ogre::ArchiveManager::getArchiveIterator ( )

Get an iterator over the Archives in this Manager.

◆ getSingleton()

static ArchiveManager& Ogre::ArchiveManager::getSingleton ( )
static

Override standard Singleton retrieval.

Remarks
Why do we do this? Well, it's because the Singleton implementation is in a .h file, which means it gets compiled into anybody who includes it. This is needed for the Singleton template to work, but we actually only want it compiled into the implementation of the class based on the Singleton, not all of them. If we don't change this, we get link errors when trying to use the Singleton-based class from an outside dll.
This method just delegates to the template version anyway, but the implementation stays in this single compilation unit, preventing link errors.

◆ getSingletonPtr()

static ArchiveManager* Ogre::ArchiveManager::getSingletonPtr ( )
static

Override standard Singleton retrieval.

Remarks

◆ load()

Archive* Ogre::ArchiveManager::load ( const String filename,
const String archiveType,
bool  readOnly 
)

Opens an archive for file reading.

Remarks
The archives are created using class factories within extension libraries.
Parameters
filenameThe filename that will be opened
archiveTypeThe type of archive that this is. For example: "Zip".
Returns
If the function succeeds, a valid pointer to an Archive object is returned.
If the function fails, an exception is thrown.

◆ unload() [1/2]

void Ogre::ArchiveManager::unload ( Archive arch)

Unloads an archive.

Remarks
You must ensure that this archive is not being used before removing it.

◆ unload() [2/2]

void Ogre::ArchiveManager::unload ( const String filename)

Unloads an archive by name.

Remarks
You must ensure that this archive is not being used before removing it.
