Library Settings¶
There are a couple library settings which are handled by a global object of type lib_settings_class (see below).
There are several data files that are used by various classes in the
library. The installation procedure should ensure that these files are
automatically found. However, if these data files are moved after
installation, then a call to
o2scl::lib_settings_class::set_data_dir()
can adjust the
library to use the new directory. It is assumed that the directory
structure within the data directory has not changed.
If you have changed the directory structure of the O₂scl data files, then many of the I/O classes allow you to specify the full pathname of the file you wish to load.
Global settings object¶
-
lib_settings_class o2scl::o2scl_settings¶
The global library settings object.
This global object is used by classes to store the global constant database, the global unit conversion database, and the directory for \o2p and \o2e data files. It may also be used by the end-user to probe details of the installation.
