Class TEntry

class TEntry;

Description

Encapsulates an entry in a directory, which can be another (nested) directory, a file or a volume label.

Each directory entry has a name which is relative to its owning directory and a type, which is indicated by its unique identifier (UID).

An entry can be interrogated for the following properties:

1. the kind of entry: stored in the entry UIDs, stored in iType

2. the entry attributes, stored in iAtt

3. the size of entry

4. the time the entry was last modified.

Members

Defined in TEntry:

• IsArchive()Tests whether the file is an archive file
• IsDir()Tests whether the entry is a directory
• IsHidden()Tests whether the file or directory is hidden
• IsReadOnly()Tests whether the file or directory is read-only
• IsSystem()Tests whether the file or directory has the system attribute set
• IsTypeValid()Test whether the file has a valid UID
• IsUidPresent()Tests whether the specified UID matches any of the UIDs in the UID type
• MostDerivedUid()Gets the most derived (i.e
• TEntry()Default constructor
• TEntry()Copy constructor
• iAttThe individual bits within this byte indicate which attributes have been set
• iModifiedThe local time of last modification
• iNameThe name of the file relative to the owning directory, with a maximum of KMaxFileName characters
• iSizeThe size of the file in bytes
• iTypeThe file's UIDtype
• operator=()Assignment operator
• operator[]()Gets any one of the file's three UIDs

• RDirReads the entries contained in a directory

IMPORT_C TEntry();

Description

Default constructor.

IMPORT_C TEntry(const TEntry &aEntry);

Description

Copy constructor.

Parameters

IMPORT_C TEntry &operator=(const TEntry &aEntry);

Description

Assignment operator.

Parameters

Return value

IMPORT_C TBool IsReadOnly() const;

Description

Tests whether the file or directory is read-only.

Return value

See also:

• KEntryAttReadOnlyFile/directory attribute: read-only file or directory

IMPORT_C TBool IsHidden() const;

Description

Tests whether the file or directory is hidden.

Return value

See also:

• KEntryAttHiddenFile/directory attribute: hidden file or directory

IMPORT_C TBool IsSystem() const;

Description

Tests whether the file or directory has the system attribute set.

Return value

See also:

• KEntryAttSystemFile/directory attribute: system file

IMPORT_C TBool IsDir() const;

Description

Tests whether the entry is a directory.

Return value

See also:

• KEntryAttDirFile/directory attribute: a directory without the hidden or system attribute

IMPORT_C TBool IsArchive() const;

Description

Tests whether the file is an archive file.

Return value

See also:

• KEntryAttArchiveFile/directory attribute: an archive file

inline const TUid &operator[](TInt anIndex) const;

Description

Gets any one of the file's three UIDs.

Parameters

Return value

See also:

• TUidTypeEncapsulates a set of three unique identifiers (UIDs) which, in combination, identify a system object such as a GUI application or a DLL

inline TBool IsUidPresent(TUid aUid) const;

Description

Tests whether the specified UID matches any of the UIDs in the UID type.

Parameters

Return value

See also:

• TUidTypeEncapsulates a set of three unique identifiers (UIDs) which, in combination, identify a system object such as a GUI application or a DLL

inline TBool IsTypeValid() const;

Description

Test whether the file has a valid UID.

Return value

See also:

• TUidTypeEncapsulates a set of three unique identifiers (UIDs) which, in combination, identify a system object such as a GUI application or a DLL

inline TUid MostDerivedUid() const;

Description

Gets the most derived (i.e. the most specific) UID.

Return value

See also:

• TUidTypeEncapsulates a set of three unique identifiers (UIDs) which, in combination, identify a system object such as a GUI application or a DLL

TUint iAtt;

Description

The individual bits within this byte indicate which attributes have been set.

See also:

• KEntryAttNormalFile/directory attribute: any file without the hidden or system attribute

• KEntryAttHiddenFile/directory attribute: hidden file or directory
• KEntryAttSystemFile/directory attribute: system file

TInt iSize;

Description

The size of the file in bytes. For files larger that 2G it must be cast to TUint in order to avoid looking like negative signed.

TTime iModified;

Description

The local time of last modification.

TUidType iType;

Description

The file's UIDtype

TBufC< KMaxFileName > iName;

Description

The name of the file relative to the owning directory, with a maximum of KMaxFileName characters.

• KMaxFileNameDefines the maximum length of a filename
