## jcifs
Class Config

    java.lang.Object
      jcifs.Config

    public class Config

extends java.lang.Object

This class uses a static `Properties` to act as a cental repository for all jCIFS configuration properties. It cannot be instantiated. Similar to `System` properties the namespace is global therefore property names should be unique. Before use, the `load` method should be called with the name of a `Properties` file (or `null` indicating no file) to initialize the `Config`. The `System` properties will then populate the `Config` as well potentially overwriting properties from the file. Thus properties provided on the commandline with the `-Dproperty.name=value` VM parameter will override properties from the configuration file.

There are several ways to set jCIFS properties. See the overview page of the API documentation for details.

Field Detail

### socketCount

    public static int socketCount

### DEFAULT_OEM_ENCODING

    public static java.lang.String DEFAULT_OEM_ENCODING

Method Detail

### registerSmbURLHandler

    public static void registerSmbURLHandler()

  This static method registers the SMB URL protocol handler which is required to use SMB URLs with the `java.net.URL` class. If this method is not called before attempting to create an SMB URL with the URL class the following exception will occur:

  >      Exception MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: smb
  >          at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:480)
  >          at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:376)
  >          at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:330)
  >          at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.<init>(SmbFile.java:355)
  >          ...

### setProperties

    public static void setProperties(java.util.Properties prp)

  Set the default properties of the static Properties used by `Config`. This permits a different Properties object/file to be used as the source of properties for use by the jCIFS library. The Properties must be set before jCIFS classes are accessed as most jCIFS classes load properties statically once. Using this method will also override properties loaded using the `-Djcifs.properties=` commandline parameter.

### load

    public static void load(java.io.InputStream in)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Load the `Config` with properties from the stream `in` from a `Properties` file.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### store

    public static void store(java.io.OutputStream out,
                             java.lang.String header)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### list

    public static void list(java.io.PrintStream out)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  List the properties in the `Code`.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### setProperty

    public static java.lang.Object setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                                               java.lang.String value)

  Add a property.

### get

    public static java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String key)

  Retrieve a property as an `Object`.

### getProperty

    public static java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String key,
                                               java.lang.String def)

  Retrieve a `String`. If the key cannot be found, the provided `def` default parameter will be returned.

### getProperty

    public static java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String key)

  Retrieve a `String`. If the property is not found, `null` is returned.

### getInt

    public static int getInt(java.lang.String key,
                             int def)

  Retrieve an `int`. If the key does not exist or cannot be converted to an `int`, the provided default argument will be returned.

### getInt

    public static int getInt(java.lang.String key)

  Retrieve an `int`. If the property is not found, `-1` is returned.

### getLong

    public static long getLong(java.lang.String key,
                               long def)

  Retrieve a `long`. If the key does not exist or cannot be converted to a `long`, the provided default argument will be returned.

### getInetAddress

    public static java.net.InetAddress getInetAddress(java.lang.String key,
                                                      java.net.InetAddress def)

  Retrieve an `InetAddress`. If the address is not an IP address and cannot be resolved `null` will be returned.

### getLocalHost

    public static java.net.InetAddress getLocalHost()

### getBoolean

    public static boolean getBoolean(java.lang.String key,
                                     boolean def)
