OOo Basic crash course: Creating a simple application launcher

Wed, 28 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
In previous installments of the crash course, you've learned how to build a simple basket tool, a task manager, and even a word game. This time, let's take a look at how you can use the skills you picked up from those exercises to create a simple application launcher, which will allow you to start virtually any application without leaving the convenience of OpenOffice.org. While working on this project, you'll learn how to create and use functions, handle errors, and how to populate list boxes using records from a database table.

cr_verify

cr_verify(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      cr_verify(3)

NAME

       cr_verify - verify integrity of crash dump

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       uncompresses and verifies the sizes and checksums of every file in the crash dump identified by crash_cb.

       flags is a bitmask of zero or more of the following flag values:

       will not attempt to verify checksums of files in the crash
			     dump if this flag is set.	Only sizes will be verified.

       will write messages to stderr during time-consuming operations
			     (decompressions and checksums) if this flag is set.

       will write messages to stderr describing any validation problems
			     that are encountered.  If this flag is set, should not be called when returns; repeated error messages would result.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero for success.  Other possible return values are described in libcrash(5).

EXAMPLES

       The following call to cr_verify(3) verifies the integrity of the dump.

WARNINGS

       Because	it  uncompresses  and  checksums  all  files in a dump, can be very time-consuming.  If was not specified, the calling application
       should notify its user before calling that there may be a significant delay.
