Detailed Description

SaX2 - Import class.

The SaXImport class provides an abstraction for the ISaX interface layer. The class inherits from SaXProcess which itself inherits from SaXStorage. the data is obtained from an isax process call and is stored into the protected area of a storage object. ISaX is the interface between the engine which is responsible to create or modify X11 configurations and the client side which normaly builds a GUI for user interactions concerning X11 issues. The ISaX interface is used for input and output data and is therefore the major structure to read, create and modify X11 configurations. The SaXImport class will cover only the first part which is to read from the interface. A SaXImport object will be constructed with one parameter which defines the section to import. there are seven ISAX sections available:

SAX_CARD
Provides information about the graphics card. This includes everything refering to the device section of the X11 configuration file.

SAX_DESKTOP
Provides information about the monitor the resolution, colordepth, etc. All of these surrounds the desktop and refers to the sections Monitor, Modes and Screen of the X11 configuration file.

SAX_POINTERS
Provides information about all input devices except the core keyboard. This normally includes information about the core pointer, touchpads, tablets, etc. The information refers to the approprate InputDevice sections of the X11 configuration file.

SAX_KEYBOARD
Provides information about the core keyboard. This information refers to the approprate InputDevice section of the X11 configuration file.

SAX_LAYOUT
Provides information about the screen layout. The so called ServerLayout section of the X11 configuration file defines how things fit together. This includes information about mulithead arrangement as well as information about the layout of input devices.

SAX_PATH
Provides information about FontPaths, server modules and flags. This data refers to the sections Files Module and ServerFlags of the X11 configuration file

SAX_EXTENSIONS
Provides information about the X11 extensions. The Extensions section of the X11 configuration file is used to enable disable external extensions.

Example:

 #include <sax/sax.h>

 SaXImport* card = new SaXImport (SAX_CARD);
 card->doImport();

 if (card->getItem("Vendor")) {
     printf ("%s\n",card->getItem("Vendor").ascii());
 }
