Detailed Description

Function Documentation

gnc_uri_add_extension()

gchar* gnc_uri_add_extension	(	const gchar *	uri,
		const gchar *	extension
	)

Adds an extension to the uri if:

• the uri is not empty and file based
• doesn't already have the extension

Parameters

uri	The uri to process
extension	The extension to add if missing. Note that the extension is added verbatim, so if a dot should be added, this should be part of the extension.

Returns

The uri, but guaranteed to end with extension if the uri is file based. Otherwise the uri is returned unmodified. Note that the returned value should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.

    g_return_val_if_fail( uri != 0, NULL );

    /* Only add extension if the user provided the extension and the uri is
     * file based.
     */
    if ( !extension || !gnc_uri_is_file_uri( uri ) )
        return g_strdup( uri );

    /* Don't add extension if it's already there */
    if ( g_str_has_suffix( uri, extension ) )
        return g_strdup( uri );

    /* Ok, all tests passed, let's add the extension */
    return g_strconcat( uri, extension, NULL );
}

gnc_uri_create_uri()

gchar* gnc_uri_create_uri	(	const gchar *	scheme,
		const gchar *	hostname,
		gint32	port,
		const gchar *	username,
		const gchar *	password,
		const gchar *	path
	)

Composes a normalized uri starting from its separate components.

The resulting uri will take either of these forms:

• file:///some/absolute/path (file could also be xml or sqlite)
• file://c:\some\windows\path (file could also be xml or sqlite)
• scheme://[user[:password]@]hostname[:port]/path

Only the components that are provided will be inserted in the uri. However if no scheme has been provided, 'file' will be used as default scheme.

The function allocates memory for the uri. The calling function should free this memory with g_free the uri is no longer needed.

Parameters

scheme	The scheme for this uri. If NULL,, 'file' will be used in the uri.
hostname	The host name of the server to connect to. This will be ignored for the 'file' type schemes ('file', 'xml', 'sqlite').
port	An optional port to set o, the uri, or 0 if no port is to be set. This will be ignored for the 'file' type schemes ('file', 'xml', 'sqlite').
username	Optional user name to set in the uri or NULL otherwise. This will be ignored for the 'file' type schemes ('file', 'xml', 'sqlite').
password	Optional password to set in the uri or NULL otherwise. This will be ignored for the 'file' type schemes ('file', 'xml', 'sqlite').
path	The path to set in the uri.

Returns

The normalized uri.

gnc_uri_get_components()

		gchar **	scheme,
		gchar **	hostname,
		gint32 *	port,
		gchar **	username,
		gchar **	password,
		gchar **	path
	)

Converts a uri in separate components.

The function allocates memory for each of the components that it finds in the uri. The calling function should free this memory with g_free when the items are no longer needed.

Parameters

uri	The uri to convert
scheme	The scheme for this uri. If the uri doesn't have an explicit scheme, NULL will be returned.
hostname	The host name of the server to connect to. In case of the local file system path, NULL will be returned
port	An optional port to connect to or 0 if the default port is to be used. For local filesystem path this is always 0 as well.
username	Optional user name found in this uri or NULL if none is found.
password	Optional password found in this uri or NULL if none is found.
path	The path found in this uri.

gnc_uri_is_uri()

gboolean gnc_uri_is_uri

A valid uri is defined by having at least a scheme and a path. If the uri is not referring to a file on the local file system a hostname should be set as well.

Parameters

Returns

TRUE if the input is a valid uri, FALSE otherwise

gnc_uri_normalize_uri()

gchar* gnc_uri_normalize_uri	(	const gchar *	uri,
		gboolean	allow_password
	)

Composes a normalized uri starting from any uri (filename, db spec,...).

The resulting uri will take either of these forms:

• file:///some/absolute/path ('file' can also be xml or sqlite)
• file://c:\some\windows\path ('file' can also be xml or sqlite)
• scheme://[user[:password]@]hostname[:port]/path

Only the components that are provided will be inserted in the uri. The allow_password parameter controls if the password should be added to the returned uri when available. If no scheme has been provided, 'file' will be used as default scheme.

The function allocates memory for the uri. The calling function should free this memory with g_free the uri is no longer needed.

Parameters

uri	The uri that should be converted into a normalized uri
allow_password	If set to TRUE, the normalized uri and the input uri has a password, this passworld will also be set in the normalized uri. Otherwise no password will be set in the normalized uri.

Returns

The normalized uri.

gnc_uri_targets_local_fs()

gboolean gnc_uri_targets_local_fs

(

const gchar *

uri

Checks if the given uri is either a valid file uri or a local filesystem path.

A valid file uri is defined by having a file targeting scheme ('file', 'xml' or 'sqlite3' are accepted) and a non-NULL path.

Parameters

uri	The uri to check

Returns

TRUE if the input is a valid file uri or a local filesystem path. FALSE otherwise
