Detailed Description

XML/YAML file storage class that encapsulates all the information necessary for writing or reading data to/from a file.

Definition at line 298 of file persistence.hpp.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Mode

file storage mode

Enumerator:

READ	value, open the file for reading
WRITE	value, open the file for writing
APPEND	value, open the file for appending
MEMORY	flag, read data from source or write data to the internal buffer (which is returned by FileStorage::release)
FORMAT_MASK	mask for format flags
FORMAT_AUTO	flag, auto format
FORMAT_XML	flag, XML format
FORMAT_YAML	flag, YAML format

Definition at line 302 of file persistence.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileStorage ( )

The constructors.

The full constructor opens the file. Alternatively you can use the default constructor and then call FileStorage::open.

Definition at line 5210 of file persistence.cpp.

FileStorage	(	const String &	source,
		int	flags,
		const String &	encoding = `String()`
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters:

source	Name of the file to open or the text string to read the data from. Extension of the file (.xml or .yml/.yaml) determines its format (XML or YAML respectively). Also you can append .gz to work with compressed files, for example myHugeMatrix.xml.gz. If both FileStorage::WRITE and FileStorage::MEMORY flags are specified, source is used just to specify the output file format (e.g. mydata.xml, .yml etc.).
flags	Mode of operation. See FileStorage::Mode
encoding	Encoding of the file. Note that UTF-16 XML encoding is not supported currently and you should use 8-bit encoding instead of it.

Definition at line 5215 of file persistence.cpp.

FileStorage	(	CvFileStorage *	fs,
		bool	owning = `true`
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Definition at line 5221 of file persistence.cpp.

~FileStorage ( ) [virtual]

the destructor. calls release()

Definition at line 5229 of file persistence.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

cv::String getDefaultObjectName ( const String & filename ) [static]

Returns the normalized object name for the specified name of a file.

Parameters:

filename Name of a file

Returns:: The normalized object name.

Definition at line 125 of file persistence.cpp.

CV_WRAP FileNode getFirstTopLevelNode ( ) const

Returns the first element of the top-level mapping.

Returns:: The first element of the top-level mapping.

bool isOpened ( ) const [virtual]

Checks whether the file is opened.

Returns:: true if the object is associated with the current file and false otherwise. It is a good practice to call this method after you tried to open a file.

Definition at line 5248 of file persistence.cpp.

bool open	(	const String &	filename,
		int	flags,
		const String &	encoding = `String()`
	)		`[virtual]`

Opens a file.

See description of parameters in FileStorage::FileStorage. The method calls FileStorage::release before opening the file.

Parameters:

filename	Name of the file to open or the text string to read the data from. Extension of the file (.xml or .yml/.yaml) determines its format (XML or YAML respectively). Also you can append .gz to work with compressed files, for example myHugeMatrix.xml.gz. If both FileStorage::WRITE and FileStorage::MEMORY flags are specified, source is used just to specify the output file format (e.g. mydata.xml, .yml etc.).
flags	Mode of operation. One of FileStorage::Mode
encoding	Encoding of the file. Note that UTF-16 XML encoding is not supported currently and you should use 8-bit encoding instead of it.

Definition at line 5238 of file persistence.cpp.

CvFileStorage* operator* ( )

Returns the obsolete C FileStorage structure.

Returns:: Pointer to the underlying C FileStorage structure

Definition at line 406 of file persistence.hpp.

const CvFileStorage* operator* ( ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Definition at line 409 of file persistence.hpp.

FileNode operator[] ( const char * nodename ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Definition at line 5358 of file persistence.cpp.

FileNode operator[] ( const String & nodename ) const

Returns the specified element of the top-level mapping.

Parameters:

nodename Name of the file node.

Returns:: Node with the given name.

Definition at line 5353 of file persistence.cpp.

void release ( void ) [virtual]

Closes the file and releases all the memory buffers.

Call this method after all I/O operations with the storage are finished.

Definition at line 5253 of file persistence.cpp.

String releaseAndGetString ( ) [virtual]

Closes the file and releases all the memory buffers.

Call this method after all I/O operations with the storage are finished. If the storage was opened for writing data and FileStorage::WRITE was specified

Definition at line 5260 of file persistence.cpp.

FileNode root ( int streamidx = 0 ) const

Returns the top-level mapping.

Parameters:

streamidx Zero-based index of the stream. In most cases there is only one stream in the file. However, YAML supports multiple streams and so there can be several.

Returns:: The top-level mapping.

Definition at line 5270 of file persistence.cpp.

void writeObj	(	const String &	name,
		const void *	obj
	)

Writes the registered C structure (CvMat, CvMatND, CvSeq).

Parameters:

name	Name of the written object.
obj	Pointer to the object.

See also:: ocvWrite for details.

Definition at line 5345 of file persistence.cpp.

void writeRaw	(	const String &	fmt,
		const uchar *	vec,
		size_t	len
	)

Writes multiple numbers.

Writes one or more numbers of the specified format to the currently written structure. Usually it is more convenient to use operator `<<` instead of this method.

Parameters:

fmt	Specification of each array element, see format specification
vec	Pointer to the written array.
len	Number of the uchar elements to write.
