class TEnv: public TObject


TEnv

The TEnv class reads a config file, by default .rootrc. Three types
of .rootrc files are read: global, user and local files. The global
file resides in $ROOTSYS/etc, the user file in ~/ and the local file
in the current working directory.
The format of the .rootrc file is similar to the .Xdefaults format:

[+]<SystemName>.<RootName|ProgName>.<name>[(type)]:  <value>

Where <SystemName> is either Unix, WinNT, MacOS or Vms,
<RootName> the name as given in the TApplication ctor (or "RootApp"
in case no explicit TApplication derived object was created),
<ProgName> the current program name and <name> the resource name,
with optionally a type specification. <value> can be either a
string, an integer, a float/double or a boolean with the values
TRUE, FALSE, ON, OFF, YES, NO, OK, NOT. Booleans will be returned as
an integer 0 or 1. The options [+] allows the concatenation of
values to the same resouce name.

E.g.:

Unix.Rint.Root.DynamicPath: .:$ROOTSYS/lib:~/lib
myapp.Root.Debug:  FALSE
TH.Root.Debug: YES
*.Root.MemStat: 1

<SystemName> and <ProgName> or <RootName> may be the wildcard "*".
A # in the first column starts comment line.

For the currently defined resources (and their default values) see
$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc.

Note that the .rootrc config files contain the config for all ROOT
based applications.

To add new entries to a TEnv:
TEnv env(".myfile");
env.SetValue("myname","value");
env.SaveLevel(kEnvLocal);

All new entries will be saved in the file corresponding to the
first SaveLevel() command.  If Save() is used, new entries go
into the local file by default.

Function documentation

TEnv(const char *name)
 Create a resource table and read the (possibly) three resource files, i.e
 $ROOTSYS/system<name> (or ROOTETCDIR/system<name>), $HOME/<name> and
 ./<name>. ROOT always reads ".rootrc" (in TROOT::InitSystem()). You can
 read additional user defined resource files by creating addtional TEnv
 objects.
~TEnv()
 Delete the resource table.
const char * Getvalue(const char* name)
 Returns the character value for a named resouce.
Int_t GetValue(const char *name, Int_t dflt)
 Returns the integer value for a resource. If the resource is not found
 return the dflt value.
Double_t GetValue(const char *name, Double_t dflt)
 Returns the double value for a resource. If the resource is not found
 return the dflt value.
const char * GetValue(const char *name, const char *dflt)
 Returns the character value for a named resouce. If the resource is
 not found the dflt value is returned.
TEnvRec * Lookup(const char* n)
 Loop over all resource records and return the one with name.
 Return 0 in case name is not in the resoucre table.
void Print(Option_t* option = "") const
 Print all resources or the global, user or local resources separately.
void PrintEnv(EEnvLevel level = kEnvAll) const
 Print all resources for a certain level (global, user, local, changed).
Int_t ReadFile(const char* fname, EEnvLevel level)
 Read and parse the resource file for a certain level.
 Returns -1 on case of error, 0 in case of success.
Int_t WriteFile(const char* fname, EEnvLevel level = kEnvAll)
 Write resourse records to file fname for a certain level. Use
 level kEnvAll to write all resources. Returns -1 on case of error,
 0 in case of success.
void Save()
 Write the resource files for each level. The new files have the same
 name as the original files. The old files are renamed to *.bak.
void SaveLevel(EEnvLevel level)
 Write the resource file for a certain level.
void SetValue(const char* name, const char* value, EEnvLevel level = kEnvChange, const char* type = 0)
 Set the value of a resource or create a new resource.
void SetValue(const char *name, EEnvLevel level)
 Set the value of a resource or create a new resource.
 Use this method to set a resource like, "name=val".
 If just "name" is given it will be interpreted as "name=1".
void SetValue(const char *name, Int_t value)
 Set or create an integer resource value.
void SetValue(const char *name, double value)
 Set or create a double resource value.
Bool_t IgnoreDuplicates(Bool_t ignore)
 If set to true, no warnings in case of duplicates are issued.
 Returns previous value.
