Detailed Description

This structure describes a subclass of GeoReader. The constructor builds these into a list that ReadGeo operators search to find a way to read a filename given to them.

Sample code for a plugin that defines a GeoReader:

   class MyReader : public GeoReader {
   static const Description d;
   ...
   };

   static GeoReader* build(int fd, const unsigned char* b, int n) {
   return new MyReader(fd, b, n);
   }

   static bool test(int fd, const unsigned char *block, int) {
   return (block[0] == MY_MAGIC_BYTE);
   }

   const GeoReader::Description MyReader::d("myf\0", "my file format", build, test);

Member Data Documentation

DD::Image::Description::DescriptionList GeoDescription::_collection [static]

A list of pointers to all possible Descriptions to be used for instantiation of geo plugins.

Constructor DD::Image::GeoDescription::_constructor

Make an instance of the reader.

If test is not null then fd is an opened file, it is seeked to bufsize, and buf contains the first bufsize bytes of the file. You can use this data to store stuff into the info_ (however you cannot report error messages and filename() does not work yet).

Tester DD::Image::GeoDescription::_test

If this pointer is non-null, it indicates a named Unix file is used to store the image. In this case Read will open the file and call this function. If it returns non-zero then the constructor will be called. This allows Read to poll all the Readers to see which one can read an unknown file format.

If this is null then zero is passed as the fd to the constructors.

buf points at the first bufsize characters of the file. bufsize is at least 512. If necessary you can mess with the fd, but be sure to seek it back to bufsize.

bool DD::Image::GeoDescription::_needFd

whether or not the file descriptor is really needed (defaults to true)

if false then any open FD on the file will be closed before build is called, and -1 passed in
