Function Documentation

CurrentPath()

std::filesystem::path StormByte::System::CurrentPath

(

)

Current working directory.

Returns

Absolute path of the process cwd.

Exceptions

StormByte::SystemError

If the cwd cannot be obtained.

ExecutablePath()

std::filesystem::path StormByte::System::ExecutablePath

(

)

Directory that contains the running executable.

Returns

That directory.

Exceptions

StormByte::SystemError

If the executable path cannot be resolved.

Sleep()

template<typename Rep , typename Period >

void StormByte::System::Sleep

(

const std::chrono::duration< Rep, Period > &

duration

)

Suspends the calling thread.

Template Parameters

Rep	Duration representation.
Period	Duration period.

Parameters

duration

Sleep interval.

TempFileName()

std::filesystem::path StormByte::System::TempFileName

(

const std::string &

prefix = "TMP"

)

Creates a unique temporary file and returns its path.

Parameters

prefix

File-name prefix. Default "TMP". On Windows, GetTempFileNameW only uses the first three characters.

Returns

Absolute path of the created empty file.

StormByte::SystemError

If the path cannot be obtained or the file cannot be created.

The file is created (POSIX: mkstemp, Windows: GetTempFileNameW) and left on disk. The caller owns the unlink.
