Member Function Documentation

[virtual] File::~File()

Destructs the file instance.

This has to be implemented to free up all resources and close the file in the underlying file system.

[pure virtual] int File::close()

Closes the file.

[pure virtual] int File::read(unsigned char *outputBuffer, uint64_t startOffset, unsigned int size)

Reads a block of the file into a provided buffer.

A block starting at startOffset and with a length of size is being read and stored into the provided buffer outputBuffer. The buffer has to be large enough to fit the requested data.

The number of bytes read is returned, or -1 in case of errors.

[pure virtual] uint64_t File::size()

Returns the size of the file.
