## Detailed Description

This is a pure virtual class that is used by libdar when interaction with the user is required.

You can base your own class on it using C++ inheritance or use the predifined inherited classes user_interaction_callback which implements the interaction based on callback functions.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ inherited_get_secu_string()

virtual secu_string libdar::user_interaction::inherited_get_secu_string | ( | const std::string & | message,
|  | bool | echo
| ) |  |
| protected pure virtual

same a get_string() but uses libdar::secu_string instead of std::string

Parameters

  [in] | message | is the question to display to the user.
  [in] | echo | is set to false is the answer must not be shown while the user answers.

Returns
  the user's answer.

Note
  messages passed by libdar are not ending with a newline by default its up to the implementation to separate messages by the adequate mean

Implemented in libdar::user_interaction_callback, libdar::user_interaction_blind, and libdar5::user_interaction.

## ◆ inherited_get_string()

virtual std::string libdar::user_interaction::inherited_get_string | ( | const std::string & | message,
|  | bool | echo
| ) |  |
| protected pure virtual

method used to ask a question that needs an arbitrary answer.

Parameters

  [in] | message | is the question to display to the user.
  [in] | echo | is set to false is the answer must not be shown while the user answers.

Returns
  the user's answer.

Note
  messages passed by libdar are not ending with a newline by default its up to the implementation to separate messages by the adequate mean

Implemented in libdar::user_interaction_callback, libdar::user_interaction_blind, and libdar5::user_interaction.

## ◆ inherited_message()

virtual void libdar::user_interaction::inherited_message | ( | const std::string & | message | ) |
| protected pure virtual

method used to display a warning or a message to the user.

Parameters

  [in] | message | is the message to display.

Note
  messages passed by libdar are not ending with a newline by default its up to the implementation to separate messages by the adequate mean

Implemented in libdar::user_interaction_callback, libdar::user_interaction_blind, and libdar5::user_interaction.

## ◆ inherited_pause()

virtual bool libdar::user_interaction::inherited_pause | ( | const std::string & | message | ) |
| protected pure virtual

method used to ask a boolean question to the user.

Parameters

  [in] | message | The boolean question to ask to the user

Returns
  the answer of the user (true/yes or no/false)

Note
  messages passed by libdar are not ending with a newline by default its up to the implementation to separate messages by the adequate mean

Implemented in libdar::user_interaction_callback, libdar::user_interaction_blind, and libdar5::user_interaction.

## ◆ printf()

virtual void libdar::user_interaction::printf | ( | const char * | format,
|  |  | ...
| ) |  |
| virtual

libdar uses this call to format output before send to message() method.

This is not a virtual method, it has not to be overwritten, it is just a sublayer over warning() Supported masks for the format string are:

- %s %c %d %% (normal behavior)
- %i (matches infinint *)
- %S (matches std::string *)

Reimplemented in libdar5::user_interaction.
