Detailed Description

This section documents file system tools used in GPAC.

FILE objects are wrapped in GPAC for direct memory or callback operations. All file functions not using stderr/stdout must use the gf_ prefixed versions, eg:

//bad design, will fail when using wrapped memory IOs
FILE *t = fopen(url, "rb");
fputs(t, mystring);
fclose(t);
//good design, will work fine when using wrapped memory IOs
FILE *t = gf_fopen(url, "rb");
gf_fputs(t, mystring);
s32 gf_fclose(FILE *file)
file closing
FILE * gf_fopen(const char *file_name, const char *mode)
file opening
int gf_fputs(const char *buf, FILE *stream)
file writing helper

typedef Bool(* gf_enum_dir_item) (void *cbck, char *item_name, char *item_path, GF_FileEnumInfo *file_info)

The gf_enum_dir_item type is the type for the callback of the gf_enum_directory function

Parameters
cbckOpaque user data.

urltarget file name.
modeopening mode of file, same as fopen mode. The following additional modes are defined:
  • "ref": indicates this FileIO object is used by some part of the code and must not be destroyed upon closing of the file. Associated URL is null
  • "unref": indicates this FileIO object is not used by some part of the code and may be destroyed if no more references to this object are set. Associated URL is null

)

Constructs a new GF_FileIO object from a URL The url can be absolute or relative to the parent GF_FileIO. This is typcically needed by filters (dash input, dasher, NHML/NHNT writers...) generating or consuming additional files associated with the main file IO object but being written or read by other filters. The function will not open the associated resource, only create the file IO wrapper for later usage If you need to create a new fileIO to be opened immediately, use gf_fopen_ex.

Returns
the url (gfio://) of the created file IO object, NULL otherwise
