Function Documentation

Key kdb::tools::helper::rebaseKey (const Key & key, const Key & oldParent, const Key & newParent)

Rebases the supplied key from the old parent to the new parent.

See also:

: ThreeWayMerge::rebasePath

Parameters:

: key the key to be rebased
oldParent the old parent of the key
newParent the new parent of the key

Returns:

: a rebased copy of the supplied key

Exceptions:

: InvalidRebaseException if the key is not below the old parent

string kdb::tools::helper::rebasePath (const Key & key, const Key & oldParent, const Key & newParent)

Rebases the relative path of the passed key from the old parent to the new parent and returns the new path. For example a key /user/example/config/key1 with the oldparent /user/example and the new parent /user/newexample/newpath would result in /user/newexample/newpath/config/key1

If any of the parent keys is a cascading key the namespace of the key to be rebased is assumed instead.
