Base class for file storage management module.

The [Project](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_project.xhtml "Base class for Project API, also see SimProject.") framework only access files on disk through the [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") interface, [StorageFilesystem](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage_filesystem.xhtml "Class for Storage on standard filesystem, for file:// URL.") is used to access local files ( [URL](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_u_r_l.xhtml "The address of a local or remote file, using the URI format.") with no type, or of type <file://> ). Additional storage frameworks can be defined, and bound to [URL](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_u_r_l.xhtml "The address of a local or remote file, using the URI format.") types. See [registerInterface()](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml#a3f9f604fc9b1d14b05acd8ee3ff7b98e "Register a Storage object to work with a specific URL type.")

Register a [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") object to work with a specific [URL](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_u_r_l.xhtml "The address of a local or remote file, using the URI format.") type.

This function takes ownership of the provided [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") pointer. The registered [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") object will be automatically deleted when it is replaced, unregistered, or when the program terminates. The caller must not delete the pointer after passing it to this function.

Parameters pTypeThe [URL](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_u_r_l.xhtml "The address of a local or remote file, using the URI format.") type to associate with this [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") interface pInterfaceRaw pointer to a [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") object allocated with 'new'. Ownership is transferred to the [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") registry.WarningDo not delete pInterface after calling this function. The [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") registry manages its lifetime. If a [Storage](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_storage.xhtml "Base class for file storage management module.") interface for pType already exists, a warning is printed and the old interface is replaced (and automatically deleted).
