* \mainpage PhysicsFS ignorecase
|
|
*
|
|
* This is an extension to PhysicsFS to let you handle files in a
|
|
* case-insensitive manner, regardless of what sort of filesystem or
|
|
* archive they reside in. It does this by enumerating directories as
|
|
* needed and manually locating matching entries.
|
|
*
|
|
* Please note that this brings with it some caveats:
|
|
* - On filesystems that are case-insensitive to start with, such as those
|
|
* used on Windows or MacOS, you are adding extra overhead.
|
|
* - On filesystems that are case-sensitive, you might select the wrong dir
|
|
* or file (which brings security considerations and potential bugs). This
|
|
* code favours exact case matches, but you will lose access to otherwise
|
|
* duplicate filenames, or you might go down a wrong directory tree, etc.
|
|
* In practive, this is rarely a problem, but you need to be aware of it.
|
|
* - This doesn't do _anything_ with the write directory; you're on your
|
|
* own for opening the right files for writing. You can sort of get around
|
|
* this by adding your write directory to the search path, but then the
|
|
* interpolated directory tree can screw you up even more.
|
|
*
|
|
* This code should be considered an aid for legacy code. New development
|
|
* shouldn't do dumbass things that require this aid in the first place. :)
|
|
*
|
|
* Usage: Set up PhysicsFS as you normally would, then use
|
|
* PHYSFSEXT_locateCorrectCase() to get a "correct" pathname to pass to
|
|
* functions like PHYSFS_openRead(), etc.
|
|
*
|
|
* License: this code is public domain. I make no warranty that it is useful,
|
|
* correct, harmless, or environmentally safe.
|
|
*
|
|
* This particular file may be used however you like, including copying it
|
|
* verbatim into a closed-source project, exploiting it commercially, and
|
|
* removing any trace of my name from the source (although I hope you won't
|
|
* do that). I welcome enhancements and corrections to this file, but I do
|
|
* not require you to send me patches if you make changes.

/**
|
|
* \fn int PHYSFSEXT_locateCorrectCase(char *buf)
|
|
* \brief Find an existing filename with matching case.
|
|
*
|
|
* This function will look for a path/filename that matches the passed in
|
|
* buffer. Each element of the buffer's path is checked for a
|
|
* case-insensitive match. The buffer must specify a null-terminated string
|
|
* in platform-independent notation.
|
|
*
|
|
* Please note results may be skewed differently depending on whether symlinks
|
|
* are enabled or not.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each element of the buffer is overwritten with the actual case of an
|
|
* existing match. If there is no match, the search aborts and reports an
|
|
* error. Exact matches are favored over case-insensitive matches.
|
|
*
|
|
* THIS IS RISKY. Please do not use this function for anything but crappy
|
|
* legacy code.
|
|
*
|
|
* \param buf Buffer with null-terminated string of path/file to locate.
|
|
* This buffer will be modified by this function.
|
|
* \return zero if match was found, -1 if the final element (the file itself)
|
|
* is missing, -2 if one of the parent directories is missing.
