33 * The SearchPath class is a helper class for getting a
34 * vector of paths contained in a search path string where a
35 * "search path string" contains absolute directory paths
36 * separated by a colon(:) or a semi-colon(;) on windows.
38 * The SearchPath class does not test whether the paths exist
39 * or are directories. It is basically just a container.
41 class LIBPBD_API SearchPath : public std::vector<std::string>
45 * Create an empty SearchPath.
50 * Initialize SearchPath from a string where the string contains
51 * one or more absolute paths to directories which are delimited
52 * by a path separation character. The path delimeter is a
53 * colon(:) on unix and a semi-colon(;) on windows.
55 * Each path contained in the search path may or may not resolve to
56 * an existing directory in the filesystem.
58 * @param search_path A path string.

66 * @param paths A vector of paths.

100 * @param subdir The directory name, it should not contain
101 * any path separating tokens.
