\section{\class{wxDir}}\label{wxdir}

wxDir is a portable equivalent of Unix {open/read/close}dir functions which
allow enumerating of the files in a directory. wxDir allows enumerate files as
well as directories.

wxDir also provides a flexible way to enumerate files recursively using 
\helpref{Traverse}{wxdirtraverse} or a simpler 
\helpref{GetAllFiles}{wxdirgetallfiles} function.

Example of use:

\begin{verbatim}
    wxDir dir(wxGetCwd());

    if ( !dir.IsOpened() )
    {
        // deal with the error here - wxDir would already log an error message
        // explaining the exact reason of the failure
        return;
    }

    puts("Enumerating object files in current directory:");

    wxString filename;

    bool cont = dir.GetFirst(&filename, filespec, flags);
    while ( cont )
    {
        printf("%s\n", filename.c_str());

        cont = dir.GetNext(&filename);
    }
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Derived from}

No base class

\wxheading{Constants}

These flags define what kind of filenames is included in the list of files
enumerated by GetFirst/GetNext

{\small
\begin{verbatim}
enum
{
    wxDIR_FILES     = 0x0001,       // include files
    wxDIR_DIRS      = 0x0002,       // include directories
    wxDIR_HIDDEN    = 0x0004,       // include hidden files
    wxDIR_DOTDOT    = 0x0008,       // include '.' and '..'

    // by default, enumerate everything except '.' and '..'
    wxDIR_DEFAULT   = wxDIR_FILES | wxDIR_DIRS | wxDIR_HIDDEN
}
\end{verbatim}
}

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxDir::Exists}\label{wxdirexists}

\func{static bool}{Exists}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}}

Test for existence of a directory with the given name

\membersection{wxDir::wxDir}\label{wxdirwxdir}

\func{}{wxDir}{\void}

Default constructor, use \helpref{Open()}{wxdiropen} afterwards.

\func{}{wxDir}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}}

Opens the directory for enumeration, use \helpref{IsOpened()}{wxdirisopened} 
to test for errors.

\membersection{wxDir::\destruct{wxDir}}\label{wxdirdtor}

\func{}{\destruct{wxDir}}{\void}

Destructor cleans up the associated ressources. It is not virtual and so this
class is not meant to be used polymorphically.

\membersection{wxDir::Open}\label{wxdiropen}

\func{bool}{Open}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}}

Open the directory for enumerating, returns TRUE on success or FALSE if an
error occurred.

\membersection{wxDir::IsOpened}\label{wxdirisopened}

\constfunc{bool}{IsOpened}{\void}

Returns TRUE if the directory was successfully opened by a previous call to 
\helpref{Open}{wxdiropen}.

\membersection{wxDir::GetFirst}\label{wxdirgetfirst}

\constfunc{bool}{GetFirst}{\param{wxString* }{filename}, \param{const wxString\& }{filespec = wxEmptyString}, \param{int }{flags = wxDIR\_DEFAULT}}

Start enumerating all files matching {\it filespec} (or all files if it is
empty) and flags, return TRUE on success.

\membersection{wxDir::GetNext}\label{wxdirgetnext}

\constfunc{bool}{GetNext}{\param{wxString* }{filename}}

Continue enumerating files satisfying the criteria specified by the last call
to \helpref{GetFirst}{wxdirgetfirst}.

\membersection{wxDir::Traverse}{wxdirtraverse}

\func{size\_t}{Traverse}{\param{wxDirTraverser& }{sink}, \param{const wxString& }{filespec = wxEmptyString}, \param{int }{flags = wxDIR\_DEFAULT}}

Enumerate all files and directories under the given directory recursively
calling the element of the provided \helpref{wxDirTraverser}{wxdirtraverser} 
object for each of them.

More precisely, the function will really recurse into subdirectories if 
{\it flags} contains {\tt wxDIR\_DIRS} flag. It will ignore the files (but
still possibly recurse into subdirectories) if {\tt wxDIR\_FILES} flag is
given.

For each found directory, \helpref{sink.OnDir()}{wxdirtraverserondir} is called
and \helpref{sink.OnFile()}{wxdirtraverseronfile} is called for every file.
Depending on the return value, the enumeration may continue or stop.

The function returns the total number of files found or {\tt (size\_t)-1} on
error.

See also: \helpref{GetAllFiles}{wxdirgetallfiles}

\membersection{wxDirTraverser::GetAllFiles}{wxdirtraversergetallfiles}

\func{static size\_t}{GetAllFiles}{\param{const wxString& }{dirname}, \param{wxArrayString *}{files}, \param{const wxString& }{filespec = wxEmptyString}, \param{int }{flags = wxDIR\_DEFAULT}}

The function appends the names of all the files under directory {\it dirname} 
to the array {\it files} (note that its old contents is preserved). Only files
matching the {\it filespec} are taken, with empty spec matching all the files.

The {\it flags} parameter should always include {\tt wxDIR\_FILES} or the array
would be unchanged and should include {\tt wxDIR\_DIRS} flag to recurse into
subdirectories (both flags are included in the value by default).

\section{\class{wxDirTraverser}}\label{wxdirtraverser}

wxDirTraverser is an abstract interface which must be implemented by objects
passed to \helpref{Traverse}{wxdirtraverse} function.

Example of use (this works almost like \helpref{GetAllFiles}{wxdirgetallfiles}):

\begin{verbatim}
    class wxDirTraverserSimple : public wxDirTraverser
    {
    public:
        wxDirTraverserSimple(wxArrayString& files) : m_files(files) { }

        virtual wxDirTraverseResult OnFile(const wxString& filename)
        {
            m_files.Add(filename);
            return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
        }

        virtual wxDirTraverseResult OnDir(const wxString& WXUNUSED(dirname))
        {
            return wxDIR_CONTINUE;
        }

    private:
        wxArrayString& m_files;
    };

    // get the names of all files in the array
    wxArrayString files;
    wxDirTraverserSimple traverser(files);

    wxDir dir(dirname);
    dir.Traverse(traverser);
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Derived from}

No base class

\wxheading{Constants}

The elements of {\tt wxDirTraverseResult} are the possible return values of the
callback functions:

{\small
\begin{verbatim}
enum wxDirTraverseResult
{
    wxDIR_IGNORE = -1,      // ignore this directory but continue with others
    wxDIR_STOP,             // stop traversing
    wxDIR_CONTINUE          // continue into this directory
};
\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Include files}

<wx/dir.h>

\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}

\membersection{wxDirTraverser::OnFile}{wxdirtraverseronfile}

\func{virtual wxDirTraverseResult}{OnFile}{\param{const wxString& }{filename}}

This function is called for each file. It may return {\tt wxDIR\_STOP} to abort
traversing (for example, if the file being searched is found) or 
{\tt wxDIR\_CONTINUE} to proceed.

\membersection{wxDirTraverser::OnDir}{wxdirtraverserondir}

\func{virtual wxDirTraverseResult}{OnDir}{\param{const wxString& }{dirname}}

This function is called for each directory. It may return {\tt wxSIR\_STOP} 
to abort traversing completely, {\tt wxDIR\_IGNORE} to skip this directory but
continue with others or {\tt wxDIR\_CONTINUE} to enumerate all files and
subdirectories in this directory.
