Function Documentation

getUptime

(

time_t &

uptime

)

Returns uptime statistics.

Returns

true if successful, false otherwise.

Definition at line 60 of file mythmiscutil.cpp.

Referenced by StatusBox::doMachineStatus(), BaseRequestHandler::HandleQueryUptime(), MainServer::HandleQueryUptime(), and NetworkControl::processQuery().

getMemStats	(	int &	totalMB,
		int &	freeMB,
		int &	totalVM,
		int &	freeVM
	)

Returns memory statistics in megabytes.

Todo:

Memory Statistics are not supported (by MythTV) on NT or DOS.

Returns

true if it succeeds, false otherwise.

bool hasUtf8

(

const char *

str

)

Guess whether a string is UTF-8.

Note

This does not attempt to validate the whole string. It just checks if it has any UTF-8 sequences in it.

bool ping	(	const QString &	host,
		int	timeout
	)

Can we ping host within timeout seconds?

Some unixes don't like the -t argument. To make sure a ping failure is actually caused by a defunct server, we might have to do a ping without the -t, which will cause a long timeout.

bool telnet	(	const QString &	host,
		int	port
	)

Can we talk to port on host?

Referenced by setHttpProxy().

copy	(	QFile &	dst,
		QFile &	src,
		uint	block_size
	)

Copies src file to dst file.

If the dst file is open, it must be open for writing. If the src file is open, if must be open for reading.

The files will be in the same open or close state after this function runs as they were prior to this function being called.

This function does not care if the files are actual files. For compatibility with pipes and socket streams the file location will not be reset to 0 at the end of this function. If the function is successful the file pointers will be at the end of the copied data.

Parameters

dst	Destination QFile
src	Source QFile
block_size	Optional block size in bytes, must be at least 1024, otherwise the default of 16 KB will be used.

Returns

bytes copied on success, -1 on failure.

makeFileAccessible

(

QString

filename

)

Makes a file accessible to all frontends/backends.

This function abstracts the functionality of making a file accessible to all frontends and backends. Currently it contains a permissions hack that makes a file accessible even on a system with an improperly configured environment (umask/group) where the frontend and backend are being run as different users or where a NFS share is used but UID's/GID's differ on different hosts.

Though the function currently only changes the file mode to 0666, by abstracting the functionality, it will be easier to make changes in the future if a better approach is chosen. Similarly, using this function allows the hack to be applied only when required if code is written to detect or allow the user to specify their system is misconfigured.

Parameters

filename

Path of file to make accessible

void setHttpProxy

(

void

)

Get network proxy settings from OS, and use for [Q]Http[Comms].

The HTTP_PROXY environment var. is parsed for values like; "proxy-host", "proxy-host:8080", "http://host:8080" and "http"//user:password:1080", and that is used for any Qt-based Http fetches. We also test connectivity here with ping and telnet, and warn if it fails.

If there is was no env. var, we use Qt to get proxy settings from the OS, and search through them for a proxy server we can connect to.
