## DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The main class of Sword to handle all other things.

SWmgr manages the installed modules, the filters and global options like footnotes or strong numbers. The class SWMgr is the most important class of Sword. It is used to manage the installed modules. It also manages the filters (Render-, Strip- and Rawfilters).

**See also:**  **AddRawFilters**(), **AddRenderFilters**(), **AddStripFilters**()

## CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION

### SWMgr::SWMgr (SWConfig \* iconfig = 0, SWConfig \* isysconfig = 0, bool autoload = true)

Constructor of SWMgr.

**Parameters:**

- *iconfig*

  - *isysconfig*

  - *autoload*

  If this bool is true the constructor starts loading the installed modules. If you reimplemented SWMgr you can set autoload=false to load the modules with your own reimplemented function.

### SWMgr::~SWMgr ()` [virtual]`

The destructor of SWMgr.

This destrutcot cleans up the modules and deletes the created object. Destroy the SWMgr at last in your application.

## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

### void SWMgr::AddRawFilters (SWModule \* module, ConfigEntMap & section)` [protected, virtual]`

Adds the raw filters which are defined in "section" to the **SWModule** object "module".

**Parameters:**

- *module*

  To this module the raw filter(s) are added

- *section*

  We use this section to get a list of filters we should apply to the module

### void SWMgr::AddRenderFilters (SWModule \* module, ConfigEntMap & section)` [protected, virtual]`

Adds the render filters which are defined in "section" to the **SWModule** object "module".

**Parameters:**

- *module*

  To this module the render filter(s) are added

- *section*

  We use this section to get a list of filters we should apply to the module

### void SWMgr::AddStripFilters (SWModule \* module, ConfigEntMap & section)` [protected, virtual]`

Adds the strip filters which are defined in "section" to the **SWModule** object "module".

**Parameters:**

- *module*

  To this module the strip filter(s) are added

- *section*

  We use this section to get a list of filters we should apply to the module

### void SWMgr::InstallScan (const char \* dir)` [virtual]`

Installs a scan for modules in the directory givan as parameter.

**Parameters:**

- *dir*

  The directory where new modules should be searched.

### void SWMgr::Load ()` [virtual]`

Load the modules.

Reimplement this function to use your own Load function,  for example to use your own filters.

### const float SWMgr::Version () const` [inline]`

Get the Sword version.

Function to get the used version of Sword. This is required, because the modules have now a MinimumVersion tag, so it should be possible to get the currently used version.

**Returns:**  The version of the Sword library as a float (e.g. 1.52).

Definition at line 239 of file swmgr.h.

### const char \* SWMgr::getGlobalOption (const char \* option)` [virtual]`

Gives the value of the given option.

**Parameters:**

- *The*

  option, which should be used to return the value of it

**Returns:**  The value of the given option

### const char \* SWMgr::getGlobalOptionTip (const char \* option)` [virtual]`

Gives a description for the given option.

**Parameters:**

- *option*

  The option, which should be used

**Returns:**  A description of the given option

**See also:**  **setGlobalOption**, **getGlobalOption**, **getGlobalOptions**

### OptionsList SWMgr::getGlobalOptions ()` [virtual]`

A list of all availble options with the currently set values.

**Returns:**  This function returns a list of global options.

### char SWMgr::setCipherKey (const char \* modName, const char \* key)` [virtual]`

Sets the cipher key for the given module.

This function updates the key at runtime, but it does not write to the config file. To write the new unlock key to the config file use code like this:

```
 SectionMap::iterator section;
 ConfigEntMap::iterator entry;
 DIR *dir = opendir(configPath);
 struct dirent *ent;
 char* modFile;
 if (dir) {    // find and update .conf file
   rewinddir(dir);
   while ((ent = readdir(dir)))
   {
     if ((strcmp(ent->d_name, ".")) && (strcmp(ent->d_name, "..")))
     {
       modFile = m_backend->configPath;
       modFile += "/";
       modFile += ent->d_name;
       SWConfig *myConfig = new SWConfig( modFile );
       section = myConfig->Sections.find( m_module->Name() );
       if ( section != myConfig->Sections.end() )
       {
         entry = section->second.find("CipherKey");
         if (entry != section->second.end())
         {
           entry->second = unlockKey;//set cipher key
           myConfig->Save();//save config file
         }
       }
       delete myConfig;
     }
   }
 }
 closedir(dir);
```

**Parameters:**

- *modName*

  For this module we change the unlockKey

**an key This is the new unlck key we use for te module.**

### void SWMgr::setGlobalOption (const char \* option, const char \* value)` [virtual]`

Set a global option Set a global option using the parameters.

A global option could be for example footnotes.

**Parameters:**

- *option*

  The name of the option, for which you want to change the value. Well known and often used values are "Footnotes" or "Strongs"

- *value*

  The value. Common values are "On" and "Off"

## MEMBER DATA DOCUMENTATION

### SWConfig \* SWMgr::config

The global config object.

This is the global config object. It contains all items of all modules, so lookups should use this config object. If you want to save a cipher key or other things to the module config file, do NOT use this object, because it would corrupt your configs after config-\>Save().
