Function Documentation

String Rapicorn::Path::abspath	(	const String &	path,
		const String &	incwd
	)

Parameters:

path	a filename path
incwd	optional current working directory

Complete path to become an absolute file path. If neccessary, incwd or the real current working directory is prepended.

String Rapicorn::Path::basename

(

const String &

path

)

Parameters:

path	a filename path

Strips all directory components from path and returns the resulting file name.

bool Rapicorn::Path::check	(	const String &	file,
		const String &	mode
	)

Parameters:

file	possibly relative filename
mode	feature string

Returns:

true if file adhears to mode

Perform various checks on file and return whether all checks passed. On failure, errno is set appropriately, and FALSE is returned. Available features to be checked for are:

• e - file must exist
• r - file must be readable
• w - file must be writable
• x - file must be executable
• f - file must be a regular file
• d - file must be a directory
• l - file must be a symbolic link
• c - file must be a character device
• b - file must be a block device
• p - file must be a named pipe
• s - file must be a socket.

String Rapicorn::Path::cwd

(

)

Return the current working directoy.

String Rapicorn::Path::dirname

(

const String &

path

)

Parameters:

path	a filename path

Return the directory part of a file name.

bool Rapicorn::Path::equals	(	const String &	file1,
		const String &	file2
	)

Parameters:

file1	possibly relative filename
file2	possibly relative filename

Returns:

TRUE if file1 and file2 are equal

Check whether file1 and file2 are pointing to the same inode in the same file system on the same device.

bool Rapicorn::Path::isabs

(

const String &

path

)

Parameters:

path	a filename path

Return wether path is an absolute pathname.

bool Rapicorn::Path::isdirname

(

const String &

path

)

Parameters:

path	a filename path

Return wether path is pointing to a directory component.
