Parameters:

filename

The name of the file.

Definition at line 172 of file param.h.

int Param::read

(

head

Pointer<char> Param::get	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	def = (const char*)NULL
	)			const [inline]

Get's the value for a parameter-name.

Parameters:

	name	The name of the parameter to look for.
	def	A default value for the parameter, if it wasn't set, default is NULL.

Returns:

A copy of the value of the parameter or NULL, if no parameter of the specific name was read.

Definition at line 187 of file param.h.

double Param::get_d	(	const char *	name_,
		double	def = 0
	)			const [inline]

Parameters:

	name_	The name of the parameter to look for.
	def	The default value for the parameter, if it wasn't set, default is 0.

Returns:

The value of the parameter, converted to a double.

Definition at line 197 of file param.h.

		int	def = 0
	)			const [inline]

Get's the value of a parameter from the tree and converts it to an int.

Parameters:

	name_	The name of the parameter to look for.
	def	The default value for the parameter, if it wasn't set, default is 0.

Returns:

The value of the parameter, converted to an integer.

Definition at line 210 of file param.h.

void Param::add	(	const char *	name_,
		const char *	value_
	)			[inline]

Parameters:

p

The SnoptParam to copy.
