In addition, this function performs the following validation: /// if an SOA RR is included, its owner name must be the origin name. /// /// It does not perform other semantical checks, however. For example, /// it doesn't check if an NS RR of the origin name is included or if /// there is more than one SOA RR. Such further checks are the caller's /// (or the callback's) responsibility. /// /// Exceptions /// /// This function throws an exception of class \c MasterLoadError in the /// following cases: /// - Any of the validation checks fails (see above). /// - The input data has a syntax error. /// - The specified file cannot be opened for loading. /// - An I/O error occurs during the loading. /// /// In addition, this function requires resource allocation for parsing and /// constructing RRsets. If it fails, the corresponding standard exception /// will be thrown. /// /// The callback may throw its own function. This function doesn't catch it /// and will simply propagate it towards the caller. /// /// Usage Examples /// /// A simplest example usage of this function would be to parse a zone /// file and (after validation) dump the content to the standard output. /// This is an example functor object and a call to \c masterLoad /// that implements this scenario: /// \code struct ZoneDumper { /// void operator()(ConstRRsetPtr rrset) const { /// std::cout << *rrset; /// } /// }; /// ... /// masterLoad(zone_file, Name("example.com"), RRClass::IN(), ZoneDumper()); /// \endcode /// Alternatively, you can use a normal function instead of a functor: /// \code void zoneDumper(ConstRRsetPtr rrset) { /// std::cout << *rrset; /// } /// ... /// masterLoad(zone_file, Name("example.com"), RRClass::IN(), zoneDumper); /// \endcode /// Or, if you want to use it with a member function of some other class, /// wrapping things with \c boost::bind would be handy: /// \code class ZoneDumper { /// public: /// void dump(ConstRRsetPtr rrset) const { /// std::cout << *rrset; /// } /// }; /// ... /// ZoneDumper dumper; /// masterLoad(rr_stream, Name("example.com"), RRClass::IN(), /// boost::bind(&ZoneDumper::dump, &dumper, _1)); /// \endcode /// You can find a bit more complicated examples in the unit tests code for /// this function. /// /// Implementation Notes /// /// The current implementation is in a preliminary level and needs further /// extensions. Some design decisions may also have to be reconsidered as /// we gain experiences. Those include: /// - We may want to allow optional conditions. For example, we may want to /// be generous about some validation failures and be able to continue /// parsing. /// - Especially if we allow to be generous, we may also want to support /// returning an error code instead of throwing an exception when we /// encounter validation failure. /// - RRSIGs are handled as separate RRsets, i.e. they are not included in /// the RRset they cover. /// /// \param filename A path to a master zone file to be loaded. /// \param origin The origin name of the zone. /// \param zone_class The RR class of the zone. /// \param callback A callback functor or function that is to be called /// for each RRset. void masterLoad(const char* const filename, const Name& origin, const RRClass& zone_class, MasterLoadCallback callback); /// Master zone file loader from input stream. /// /// This function is same as the other version /// (\c masterLoad(const char* const, const Name&, const RRClass&, MasterLoadCallback)) /// except that it takes a \c std::istream instead of a file. /// It extracts lines from the stream and handles each line just as a line /// of a file for the other version of function. /// All descriptions of the other version apply to this version except those /// specific to file I/O. /// /// Note: The 'source' parameter is now ignored, but it was only used in /// exception messages on some error. So the compatibility effect should be /// minimal. /// /// \param input An input stream object that is to emit zone's RRs. /// \param origin The origin name of the zone. /// \param zone_class The RR class of the zone. /// \param callback A callback functor or function that is to be called for /// each RRset. /// \param source This parameter is now ignored but left for compatibility. void masterLoad(std::istream& input, const Name& origin, const RRClass& zone_class, MasterLoadCallback callback, const char* source = NULL); } //@} } #endif // MASTERLOAD_H // Local Variables: // mode: c++ // End:
