PhysFS++ is a C++ wrapper for the PhysicsFS library.

Note: This fork was created to update this project to work with PhysFS v3 and apply bug fixes.

PhysFS++

PhysFS++ is a C++ wrapper for the excellent PhysicsFS library by Ryan C. Gordon and others.

It is licensed under the zlib license - same as PhysicsFS (at the time of writing).

Requirements

CMake for building, and, of course, the PhysicsFS library.

Features

The wrapper simply wraps most functions in a PhysFS namespace, and gives them C++ signatures (std::string rather than const char *).

Additionally:

• Functions that are related to byte order conversions are placed in the PhysFS::Util namespace.
• Instead of replicating PHYSFS_openRead, PHYSFS_openWrite, and PHYSFS_openAppend, files are opened as streams using PhysFS::ifstream and PhysFS::ofstream.
• ofstream's constructor takes a mode, which specifies either append or write.
• Both ifstream and ofstream are standard streams, and only have an extra method - length, which calls PHYSFS_fileLength.
