Detailed Description

Singleton manager for OGRSFDriver instances that will be used to try and open datasources. Normally the registrar is populated with standard drivers using the OGRRegisterAll() function and does not need to be directly accessed. The driver registrar and all registered drivers may be cleaned up on shutdown using OGRCleanupAll().


Member Function Documentation

void OGRSFDriverRegistrar::DeregisterDriver ( OGRSFDriver poDriver  ) 

Remove the passed driver from the list of registered drivers.

This method is the same as the C function OGRDeregisterDriver().

Parameters:
poDriver the driver to deregister.
Since:
GDAL 1.8.0
OGRSFDriver * OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetDriver ( int  iDriver  ) 

Fetch the indicated driver.

This method is the same as the C function OGRGetDriver().

Parameters:
iDriver the driver index, from 0 to GetDriverCount()-1.
Returns:
the driver, or NULL if iDriver is out of range.
OGRSFDriver * OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetDriverByName ( const char *  pszName  ) 

Fetch the indicated driver.

This method is the same as the C function OGRGetDriverByName

Parameters:
pszName the driver name
Returns:
the driver, or NULL if no driver with that name is found
int OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetDriverCount ( void   ) 

Fetch the number of registered drivers.

This method is the same as the C function OGRGetDriverCount().

Returns:
the drivers count.
OGRDataSource * OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetOpenDS ( int  iDS  ) 

Return the iDS th datasource opened.

This method is the same as the C function OGRGetOpenDS().

Parameters:
iDS the index of the dataset to return (between 0 and GetOpenDSCount() - 1)
int OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetOpenDSCount (  )  [inline]

Return the number of opened datasources.

This method is the same as the C function OGRGetOpenDSCount()

Returns:
the number of opened datasources.
OGRSFDriverRegistrar * OGRSFDriverRegistrar::GetRegistrar (  )  [static]

Return the driver manager, creating one if none exist.

Returns:
the driver manager.
OGRDataSource * OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open ( const char *  pszName,
int  bUpdate = FALSE,
OGRSFDriver **  ppoDriver = NULL 
) [static]

Open a file / data source with one of the registered drivers.

This method loops through all the drivers registered with the driver manager trying each until one succeeds with the given data source. This method is static. Applications don't normally need to use any other OGRSFDriverRegistrar methods directly, nor do they normally need to have a pointer to an OGRSFDriverRegistrar instance.

If this method fails, CPLGetLastErrorMsg() can be used to check if there is an error message explaining why.

For drivers supporting the VSI virtual file API, it is possible to open a file in a .zip archive (see VSIInstallZipFileHandler()), in a .tar/.tar.gz/.tgz archive (see VSIInstallTarFileHandler()) or on a HTTP / FTP server (see VSIInstallCurlFileHandler())

This method is the same as the C function OGROpen().

Parameters:
pszName the name of the file, or data source to open. UTF-8 encoded.
bUpdate FALSE for read-only access (the default) or TRUE for read-write access.
ppoDriver if non-NULL, this argument will be updated with a pointer to the driver which was used to open the data source.
Returns:
NULL on error or if the pass name is not supported by this driver, otherwise a pointer to an OGRDataSource. This OGRDataSource should be closed by deleting the object when it is no longer needed.

Example:

    OGRDataSource	*poDS;
    poDS = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open( "polygon.shp" );
    if( poDS == NULL )
    {
        return;
    }
    ... use the data source ...
    OGRDataSource::DestroyDataSource(poDS);
  
void OGRSFDriverRegistrar::RegisterDriver ( OGRSFDriver poDriver  ) 

Add a driver to the list of registered drivers.

If the passed driver is already registered (based on pointer comparison) then the driver isn't registered. New drivers are added at the end of the list of registered drivers.

This method is the same as the C function OGRRegisterDriver().

Parameters:
poDriver the driver to add.
