31 * The Searchpath class is a helper class for getting a
32 * vector of paths contained in a search path string where a
33 * "search path string" contains absolute directory paths
34 * separated by a colon(:) or a semi-colon(;) on windows.
36 * The Searchpath class does not test whether the paths exist
37 * or are directories. It is basically just a container.
39 class Searchpath : public std::vector<std::string>
43 * Create an empty Searchpath.
48 * Initialize Searchpath from a string where the string contains
49 * one or more absolute paths to directories which are delimited
50 * by a path separation character. The path delimeter is a
51 * colon(:) on unix and a semi-colon(;) on windows.
53 * Each path contained in the search path may or may not resolve to
54 * an existing directory in the filesystem.
56 * @param search_path A path string.
58 Searchpath (const std::string& search_path);
61 * Initialize Searchpath from a vector of paths that may or may
64 * @param paths A vector of paths.

89 Searchpath& operator+ (const Searchpath& other);
92 * Add another path to the search path.
94 Searchpath& operator+ (const std::string& directory_path);
97 * Add a sub-directory to each path in the search path.
98 * @param subdir The directory name, it should not contain
99 * any path separating tokens.
