libcvault

libcvault is a C++ library for static file metadata analysis. It is intended to provide reusable functions for another C++ program(as of now) rather than operate as a standalone executable.

API Summary

• populateData() — scan a directory and load regular file metadata
• getTotalBytes() — compute the total byte size of loaded files
• getFileCount() — return the number of loaded files
• sortFileOnByte() — sort files by size
• maxFile() - return the largest file size
• sortFileOnName()— sort files by name
• searchFile() - search by filename
• lineCount() — count lines in a text file
• getFileName() - returns the name of the file present at a given index
• getFileSize() - returns the size(bytes) of the file present at a given index
• getFiles() - returns a raw pointer to the internal memory buffer of the file list

Requirements

• C++17-compatible compiler
• Standard library support for <filesystem>

Build Example

git clone https://github.com/tecnolgd/libcvault
cd libcvault
g++ -std=c++17 -c main.cpp -o libcvault.o
g++ -std=c++17 my_app.cpp libcvault.o -o my_app

Example Usage

#include "head.hpp"
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    if (populateData(".") != 0) {
        std::cerr << "Directory scan failed\n";
        return 1;
    }

    std::cout << "Files found: " << getFileCount() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Total bytes: " << getTotalBytes() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Lines in head.hpp: " << lineCount("head.hpp") << "\n";

    return 0;
}

Output

Files found: 233
Total bytes: 585441
Lines in head.hpp: 38
