is_standalone

System::Boolean DDS::QosPrintFormat::is_standalone

Controls whether or not to print valid XML for this QoS policy (through the inclusion of a preamble).

The default value for this property (false) results in QoS being printed starting from the <ENTITY_qos> tag (where the <ENTITY_qos> tag is, e.g., <domain_participant_qos>, or, <datareader_qos>. This result cannot be directly parsed as valid XML (as it lacks <dds>, <qos_library>, and <qos_profile> tags). If is_standalone is set to true, these additional tags are printed, resulting in valid, parseable XML.

For example, with is_standalone set to false, a Qos may appear as:

  <datareader_qos>
      <durability>
          <kind>TRANSIENT_LOCAL_DURABILITY_QOS</kind>
      </durability>
  </datareader_qos>

Setting is_standalone to true would result in the same Qos being printed as:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <dds xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <qos_library name="QosLibrary">
          <qos_profile name="QosProfile">
              <datareader_qos>
                  <durability>
                      <kind>TRANSIENT_LOCAL_DURABILITY_QOS</kind>
                  </durability>
              </datareader_qos>
          </qos_profile>
      </qos_library>
  </dds> 

[default] false

print_private

System::Boolean DDS::QosPrintFormat::print_private

Configures how private QoS policies should be printed.

There are some QoS policies which are not intended for external use. By default, these QoS policies are only printed if they are different to the default value for that policy. When true, private policies are treated like any other policy, and printed if they are different to the supplied base QoS. These private policies cannot be parsed from XML, and are always printed as XML comments.

[default] false

indent

System::UInt32 DDS::QosPrintFormat::indent

Conifgures how much additional indent should be added to the string representation of a QoS.

Configures how much additional indent is applied when converting a QoS to a string. This value acts as a total offset on the string, increasing the indent which is applied to all elements by the same amount. With indent set to 0, a string representation of a QoS may appear as:

  <datareader_qos>
      <durability>
          <kind>TRANSIENT_LOCAL_DURABILITY_QOS</kind>
      </durability>
  </datareader_qos>

Setting the indent property to 1, the same QoS would be printed as:

      <datareader_qos>
          <durability>
              <kind>TRANSIENT_LOCAL_DURABILITY_QOS</kind>
          </durability>
      </datareader_qos>

I.e., the entire structure is indented.

[default] 0
