Detailed Description

An abstract base class for the file and directory validators.

Template Parameters

file_t

The type of the file to get the valid extensions for; void on default.

This class provides a common interface for seqan3::input_file_validator and the seqan3::output_file_validator as well as the seqan3::input_directory_validator and seqan3::output_directory_validator.

The type can be further specialised for the seqan3::input_file_validator and the seqan3::output_file_validator using the template argument to determine the valid extensions from the given file type.

Member Function Documentation

case_insensitive_string_ends_with()

bool seqan3::file_validator_base::case_insensitive_string_ends_with ( std::string_view str, std::string_view suffix ) const

inlineprotected

Helper function that checks if a string is a suffix of another string. Case insensitive.

Parameters

str	The string to be searched.
suffix	The suffix to be searched for.

Returns

true if suffix is a suffix of str, otherwise false.

operator()() [1/2]

template<std::ranges::forward_range range_type>
requires (std::convertible_to<std::ranges::range_value_t<range_type>, std::filesystem::path const &> && !std::convertible_to<range_type, std::filesystem::path const &>)

void seqan3::file_validator_base::operator() ( range_type const & v ) const

inline

Tests whether every path in list v passes validation. See operator()(option_value_type const & value) for further information.

Template Parameters

range_type

The type of range to check; must model std::ranges::forward_range and the value type must be convertible to std::filesystem::path.

Parameters

v	The input range to iterate over and check every element.

Exceptions

seqan3::validation_error

operator()() [2/2]

virtual void seqan3::file_validator_base::operator() ( std::filesystem::path const & path ) const

pure virtual

Tests if the given path is a valid input, respectively output, file or directory.

Parameters

path	The path to validate.

This is a pure virtual function and must be overloaded by the derived class.

Implemented in seqan3::input_directory_validator, seqan3::input_file_validator< file_t >, seqan3::output_directory_validator, and seqan3::output_file_validator< file_t >.

validate_filename()

void seqan3::file_validator_base::validate_filename ( std::filesystem::path const & path ) const

inlineprotected

Validates the given filename path based on the specified extensions.

Parameters

path	The filename path.

Exceptions

seqan3::validation_error

if the specified extensions don't match the given path, or std::filesystem::filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors.

validate_readability()

void seqan3::file_validator_base::validate_readability ( std::filesystem::path const & path ) const

inlineprotected

Checks if the given path is readable.

Parameters

path	The path to check.

Exceptions

seqan3::validation_error

if the path is not readable, or std::filesystem::filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors.

validate_writeability()

void seqan3::file_validator_base::validate_writeability ( std::filesystem::path const & path ) const

inlineprotected

Checks if the given path is writable.

Parameters

path	The path to check.

Exceptions

seqan3::validation_error

if the file could not be opened for writing, or std::filesystem::filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors.
