Properties

DebugLogFilePath
func (cache *Cache) DebugLogFilePath() string
func (cache *Cache) SetDebugLogFilePath(s string)

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

More Information and Examples
top
LastErrorHtml
func (cache *Cache) LastErrorHtml() string

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
func (cache *Cache) LastErrorText() string

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
func (cache *Cache) LastErrorXml() string

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastEtagFetched
func (cache *Cache) LastEtagFetched() string

The ETag of the last item fetched from cache.

top
LastExpirationFetchedStr
func (cache *Cache) LastExpirationFetchedStr() string

Expiration date/time of the last item fetched from cache in RFC822 string format.

top
LastHitExpired
func (cache *Cache) LastHitExpired() bool

true if the LastExpirationFetched is before the current date/time. Otherwise false.

top
LastKeyFetched
func (cache *Cache) LastKeyFetched() string

The key of the last item fetched from cache. (For web pages, the key is typically the canonicalized URL. Otherwise, the key is a unique identifer used to access the cached item.)

top
LastMethodSuccess
func (cache *Cache) LastMethodSuccess() bool
func (cache *Cache) SetLastMethodSuccess(b bool)

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
Level
func (cache *Cache) Level() int
func (cache *Cache) SetLevel(v int)

The number of directory levels in the cache. Possible values are:

0: All cache files are in a single directory (the cache root).

1: Cache files are located in 256 sub-directories numbered 0 .. 255 directly under the cache root.

2: There are two levels of sub-directories under the cache root. The 1st level has 256 sub-directories numbered 0 .. 255 directly under the cache root. The 2nd level allows for up to 256 sub-directories (0..255) under each level-1 directory. Cache files are stored in the leaf directories.

top
NumRoots
func (cache *Cache) NumRoots() int

The number of root directories composing the cache. A typical multi-root cache would place each root on a separate hard drive.

top
VerboseLogging
func (cache *Cache) VerboseLogging() bool
func (cache *Cache) SetVerboseLogging(b bool)

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
func (cache *Cache) Version() string

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

Methods

AddRoot
func (cache *Cache) AddRoot(path string)

Must be called once for each cache root. For example, if the cache is spread across D:\cacheRoot, E:\cacheRoot, and F:\cacheRoot, an application would setup the cache object by calling AddRoot three times -- once with "D:\cacheRoot", once with "E:\cacheRoot", and once with "F:\cacheRoot".

top
DeleteAll
func (cache *Cache) DeleteAll() int

Deletes all items in the cache. This method completely clears the cache. All files in the cache are deleted. (If the cache is multi-level, existing sub-directories are not deleted.)

Returns the number of items (i.e. cache files) deleted.

top
DeleteAllExpired
func (cache *Cache) DeleteAllExpired() int

Deletes all expired items from the cache.

Returns the number of items (i.e. cache files) deleted.

top
DeleteFromCache
func (cache *Cache) DeleteFromCache(key string) bool

Deletes a single item from the disk cache. Returns false if the item exists in cache but could not be deleted. Otherwise returns true.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
DeleteOlderDt
func (cache *Cache) DeleteOlderDt(dateTime *CkDateTime) int

The same as DeleteOlder, except the dateTime is passed as a CkDateTime.

top

func (cache *Cache) DeleteOlderStr(dateTimeStr string) int

The same as DeleteOlder, except the dateTimeStr is passed as a date/time in RFC822 format.

top
FetchBd
func (cache *Cache) FetchBd(key string, bd *BinData) bool
Introduced in version 9.5.0.91

Fetches an item from cache and returns in bd.

The key may be any length and may include any characters. It should uniquely identify the cached item. (No two items in the cache should have the same key.)

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
FetchFromCache

Fetches an item from cache.

The key may be any length and may include any characters. It should uniquely identify the cached item. (No two items in the cache should have the same key.)
