Struct VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment

Source

#[repr(C)]
pub struct VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate features VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment and VZStorageDeviceAttachment only.

Expand description

Storage device attachment using a disk image to implement the storage.

This storage device attachment uses a disk image on the host file system as the drive of the storage device.

Only raw data disk images are supported.

Implementations§

Source §

impl VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment

Source

pub unsafe fn initWithURL_readOnly_error( this: Allocated<Self>, url: &NSURL, read_only: bool, ) -> Result<Retained<Self>, Retained<NSError>>

Initialize the attachment from a local file url.

Parameter url: Local file URL to the disk image in RAW format.

Parameter readOnly: If YES, the device attachment is read-only, otherwise the device can write data to the disk image.

Parameter error: If not nil, assigned with the error if the initialization failed.

Returns: A newly initialized VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment. If an error was encountered returns nil,and errorcontains the error.

Source

pub unsafe fn initWithURL_readOnly_cachingMode_synchronizationMode_error( this: Allocated<Self>, url: &NSURL, read_only: bool, caching_mode: VZDiskImageCachingMode, synchronization_mode: VZDiskImageSynchronizationMode, ) -> Result<Retained<Self>, Retained<NSError>>

Initialize the attachment from a local file url.

Parameter url: Local file URL to the disk image in RAW format.

Parameter readOnly: If YES, the device attachment is read-only, otherwise the device can write data to the disk image.

Parameter cachingMode: Whether host data caching is enabled for the disk image.

Parameter synchronizationMode: How the disk image synchronizes with the underlying storage when the guest operating system flushes data.

Parameter error: If not nil, assigned with the error if the initialization failed.

Returns: A newly initialized VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment. If an error was encountered returns nil,and errorcontains the error.

Source

pub unsafe fn URL(&self) -> Retained<NSURL>

URL of the underlying disk image.

Source

pub unsafe fn isReadOnly(&self) -> bool

Whether the underlying disk image is read-only.

Source

pub unsafe fn cachingMode(&self) -> VZDiskImageCachingMode

How disk image data is cached by the host.

Source

pub unsafe fn synchronizationMode(&self) -> VZDiskImageSynchronizationMode

The mode in which the disk image synchronizes data with the underlying storage device.

Methods declared on superclass VZStorageDeviceAttachment.

pub unsafe fn new() -> Retained<Self>

Source

pub unsafe fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>§

Source

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>§

Source

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Dynamically find the class of this object.

§Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

§Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

Source

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T
where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Use Ivar::load instead.

§Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

Source

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>
where T: DowncastTarget,

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

§Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

§Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

§Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

§Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
