nn::boss::NsData Class

Syntax

class NsData

Description

Class for representing NS data. Use for NS data operations (such as reading).

Member Constants

S NN_BOSS_NSDATA_READ_ERROR_GET_HEADER NS data ReadNsData error definition. Failed to get the NS data header.
S NN_BOSS_NSDATA_READ_ERROR_READ_DATA NS data ReadNsData error definition. Failed to load NS data.
S NN_BOSS_NSDATA_READ_ERROR_IPC NS data ReadNsData error definition. An IPC error occurred.
S NN_BOSS_NSDATA_READ_ERROR_UPDATED NS data ReadNsData error definition. The target NS data version was updated since the last time data was obtained.

Member Functions

NsData Constructor.
V ~NsData Destructor.
Initialize Initializes NS data for the specified serial ID. (Running this function allows you to reuse instances that have been used before.)
Delete Deletes an NS data file. Note: Sometimes the target NS data cannot be found due to one of the following: another application has already deleted the NS data, there was not enough space available when downloading the NS archive, or the data has been automatically deleted.
GetHeaderInfo Reads NS archive header information. Specify the following types of NS archive header information to get the corresponding values. To do so, you must allocate the necessary memory in advance. When less than the necessary memory is available, the ResultInvalidNsDataGetHeadSize error is returned.
NSD_TITLEID: 64-bit title ID. (s64)
NSD_FLAGS: NS data flags. (bit32)
NSD_DATATYPE: NS data type. (bit32)
NSD_LENGTH: NS data length. (s32)
NSD_SERIALID: NS data serial ID. (u32)
NSD_VERSION: NS data version number. (u32)
Note: Sometimes the target NS data cannot be found, possibly because another application has already deleted the NS data, there was not enough space available when downloading the NS archive, or the data was automatically deleted.
ReadData Reads an NS data file. The interface is similar to that of file access. After allocating an adequately sized buffer, call this function multiple times to read an entire NS data file. Returns 0 upon reaching end of file, indicating that the read is finished. An application can only load one NS data file at once, but even if it loads a large NSD, other applications are not blocked from loading NS data as long as the other applications do not try to access the same NS data.
Note: An error will be returned if the target NS data cannot be found, whether it is because another application has already deleted the NS data, there was not enough space available when downloading the NS archive, or the data was automatically deleted. The function returns NN_BOSS_NSDATA_READ_ERROR_UPDATED in those rare instances where the specified NS data version has been updated since the last time the data was obtained. In such cases, call Initialize and then read the data again.
SetReadDataPosition Changes the read position in an NS data file. The interface is similar to that of file access. See PositionBase for details on the base for changing the read position.
SetAdditionalInfo Sets additional information about the NS data.
Note: The NS data additional information is information that can be freely used by the application, but this additional information is always initialized when a new version of the NS data is downloaded.
GetAdditionalInfo Gets additional information about the NS data.
Note: The NS data additional information is information that can be freely used by the application, but this additional information is always initialized when a new version of the NS data is downloaded.
SetReadFlag Sets the read flag of the NS data. The application can set this, but note that the flag is reset to "unread" when a new version of the NS data file is downloaded.
GetReadFlag Gets the read flag of the NS data.
GetLastUpdated Gets the NS data file update timestamp. Note that the update timestamp records the time at which the update was actually downloaded.
