This is equivalent to getting a value for a keyword named
'<i>key</i>:<i>i</i>'. The routines that do not take key arguments get
the value for the keyword named '<i>i</i>'.

Detailed Description
The KeyVal class is designed to simplify the process of allowing a user
to specify keyword/value associations to a C++ program.
A flexible input style and ease of use for the programmer is achieved
with this method. Keywords are represented by null terminated character
arrays. The keywords are organized hierarchially, in a manner similar
to the way that many file systems are organized. One character is
special, ':', which is used to separate the various hierarchial labels,
which are referred to as 'segments', in the keyword.
A convention for specifying arrays is provided by KeyVal. Each index of
the array is given by appending a segment containing the character
representation of the index. Thus, 'array:3:4' would be a the keyword
corresponding to fourth row and fifth column of 'array', since indexing
starts at zero.
To allow the KeyVal class to have associations that can represent data
for classes, the keyword can be associated with a class as well as a
value. This permits polymorphic data to be unambiguously represented by
keyword/value associations. Most use of KeyVal need not be concerned
with this.
Member Function Documentation
int sc::KeyVal::count (const char * = 0)
If the value of a keyword is an array, then return its length. If no
arguments are given then the top level will be checked to see if it is
an array and, if so, the number of elements will be counted.
int sc::KeyVal::exists (const char *)
This takes as its only argument a keyword. Returns 1 if the keyword has
a value and 0 otherwise.
virtual int sc::KeyVal::have_unseen () [virtual]
Return 1 if there were unseen keywords, 0 if there are none, or -1 this
keyval doesn't keep track of unseen keywords.
Reimplemented in sc::ParsedKeyVal.
char* sc::KeyVal::pcharvalue (const char * key = 0, const KeyValValue & def
= KeyValValuepchar())
Returns a copy of the string representation of the key's value. Storage
for the copy is obtained with new.
std::string sc::KeyVal::stringvalue (const char * key = 0, const
KeyValValue & def = KeyValValuestring())
Returns a string representation of the key's value.
