void IliAttributePath::appendAttribute

(

const char *

name

)

Appends a new attribute name at the end of the path.

Parameters

name	The name. It is copied by this member function.

void IliAttributePath::emit

(

IliString &

dest

)

const

Appends the sequence of attribute names to a string.

Parameters

dest	The string. The attribute names are separated by a period (.) character.

const char* IliAttributePath::getAttributeAt

(

IlInt

idx

)

const

Returns an attribute name.

Parameters

idx	The attribute position.

Returns

The attribute name positioned at idx or NULL if idx is out of range.

IlInt IliAttributePath::getAttributeCount

(

)

const

Returns the number of attribute names in this attribute path.

Returns

The count.

int IliAttributePath::operator!=

(

const IliAttributePath &

)

const

Compares two paths.

Returns

0 if this attribute path has the same sequence of attributes as the path parameter and 1 otherwise.

IliAttributePath& IliAttributePath::operator=

(

const IliAttributePath &

path

)

Assigns this attribute path with another attribute path.

Parameters

path	The new value.

int IliAttributePath::operator==

(

const IliAttributePath &

)

const

Compares two paths.

Returns

1 if this attribute path has the same sequence of attributes as the path parameter and 0 otherwise.

static IliAttributePath IliAttributePath::Parse ( const char *  seq )

static

This static member function expects to find a sequence of names, separated by periods (.).

Parameters

seq	The sequence.

Returns

An attribute path containing this sequence of names.

void IliAttributePath::read

(

IL_STDPREF istream &

input

)

Reads the attribute path from an input stream.

Parameters

input

The input stream.

void IliAttributePath::removeAttribute

(

IlInt

idx

)

Removes the attribute name.

Parameters

idx	The attribute name position.

void IliAttributePath::write

(

IL_STDPREF ostream &

output

)

const

Writes the definition of an attribute path to an output stream in a form suitable to be read back by the read member function.

Parameters

output

The output stream.
