Return

@returns The first element of the top-level mapping.

Python prototype (for reference only):

getFirstTopLevelNode() -> retval
@spec getFormat(t()) :: integer() | {:error, String.t()}

Returns the current format.

Positional Arguments
  • self: Evision.FileStorage.t()
Return

@returns The current format, see FileStorage::Mode

Python prototype (for reference only):

getFormat() -> retval
@spec getNode(t(), binary()) :: Evision.FileNode.t() | {:error, String.t()}

getNode

  • nodename: c_string
Return

Has overloading in C++

Python prototype (for reference only):

getNode(nodename) -> retval
@spec isOpened(t()) :: boolean() | {:error, String.t()}

Checks whether the file is opened.

Positional Arguments
  • self: Evision.FileStorage.t()
Return
  • retval: bool

@returns true if the object is associated with the current file and false otherwise. It is a good practice to call this method after you tried to open a file.

open(self, filename, flags)

View Source
@spec open(t(), binary(), integer()) :: boolean() | {:error, String.t()}

Opens a file.

Positional Arguments
  • self: Evision.FileStorage.t()

  • filename: String.

    Name of the file to open or the text string to read the data from. Extension of the file (.xml, .yml/.yaml or .json) determines its format (XML, YAML or JSON respectively). Also you can append .gz to work with compressed files, for example myHugeMatrix.xml.gz. If both FileStorage::WRITE and FileStorage::MEMORY flags are specified, source is used just to specify the output file format (e.g. mydata.xml, .yml etc.). A file name can also contain parameters. You can use this format, "*?base64" (e.g. "file.json?base64" (case sensitive)), as an alternative to FileStorage::BASE64 flag.

  • flags: int.

    Mode of operation. One of FileStorage::Mode

Keyword Arguments
  • encoding: String.

    Encoding of the file. Note that UTF-16 XML encoding is not supported currently and you should use 8-bit encoding instead of it.

Return
  • retval: bool

See description of parameters in FileStorage::FileStorage. The method calls FileStorage::release before opening the file.

Python prototype (for reference only):

open(filename, flags[, encoding]) -> retval

open(filename, flags[, encoding]) -> retval
@spec release(t()) :: :ok | {:error, String.t()}

Closes the file and releases all the memory buffers.

Positional Arguments

Closes the file and releases all the memory buffers.

Python prototype (for reference only):

@spec root(t()) :: Evision.FileNode.t() | {:error, String.t()}

Returns the top-level mapping

Positional Arguments
  • self: Evision.FileStorage.t()
Keyword Arguments
  • streamidx: int.

    Zero-based index of the stream. In most cases there is only one stream in the file. However, YAML supports multiple streams and so there can be several.

Return

@returns The top-level mapping.

Python prototype (for reference only):

root([, streamidx]) -> retval
@spec root(t(), [{atom(), term()}, ...] | nil) ::
  Evision.FileNode.t() | {:error, String.t()}
