## Detailed Description

A low-level representation of the backend (= set of plugins) that can be mounted.

To build a backend, you should prefer BackendBuilder, which automatically fixes ordering and allows us to remove plugins.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ addPlugin()

void kdb::tools::Backend::addPlugin | ( | PluginSpec const & | plugin | ) |
| virtual

Add a plugin that can be loaded, meets all constraints.

Note
  that this does not mean that the backend validates after it is added. It only means that the situation is not getting worse.

Exceptions

  PluginCheckException | or its subclasses if it was not possible to load the plugin

For validation

See also
  validated().

Implements kdb::tools::BackendInterface.

## ◆ serialize()

void kdb::tools::Backend::serialize | ( | kdb::KeySet & | ret | ) |
| virtual

Precondition
  name and mountpoint set Add plugin serialization into keyset ret.

Only can be done once! (see firstRef in Plugin)

Implements kdb::tools::SerializeInterface.

## ◆ setBackendConfig()

void kdb::tools::Backend::setBackendConfig | ( | KeySet const & | ks | ) |
| virtual

Backend Config to add to.

Parameters

  ks | the config to add, should be below system:/

Implements kdb::tools::MountBackendInterface.

## ◆ setMountpoint()

void kdb::tools::Backend::setMountpoint | ( | Key | mountpoint,
|  | KeySet | mountConf
| ) |  |
| virtual

Sets the mountpoint for the backend.

Exceptions

  MountpointInvalidException |
  MountpointAlreadyInUseException |

Parameters

  mountpoint | the key name will be used as mountpoint. It is allowed to pass a key with a cascading name.
  mountConf | needs to include the keys below system:/elektra/mountpoints

Implements kdb::tools::MountBackendInterface.

## ◆ useConfigFile()

void kdb::tools::Backend::useConfigFile | ( | std::string | file | ) |
| virtual

Precondition
  : resolver needs to be loaded first Will check the filename and use it as configFile for this backend.

Exceptions

  FileNotValidException | if filename is not valid
  MissingSymbol | if plugin does not implement 'checkfile'

Implements kdb::tools::MountBackendInterface.

## ◆ validated()

bool kdb::tools::Backend::validated | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns
  true if backend is validated
  false if more plugins are needed to be valided

Implements kdb::tools::MountBackendInterface.
