Name processing
splitExt :: String -> (String, String) | Source
Splits a pathname into a tuple representing the root of the name and the extension. The extension is considered to be all characters from the last dot after the last slash to the end. Either returned string may be empty.
absNormPath | Source
:: String | Absolute path for use with starting directory
-> String | The path name to make absolute
-> Maybe String | Result
Make an absolute, normalized version of a path with all double slashes, dot, and dotdot entries removed. The first parameter is the base for the absolut calculation; in many cases, it would correspond to the current working directory. The second parameter is the pathname to transform. If it is already absolute, the first parameter is ignored. Nothing may be returned if there's an error; for instance, too many `..` entries for the given path.
secureAbsNormPath | Source
:: String | Absolute path for use with starting directory
-> String | The path to make absolute
-> Maybe String |
Like absNormPath, but returns Nothing if the generated result is not the passed base path or a subdirectory thereof.
Directory Processing
recurseDir :: HVFS a => a -> FilePath -> IO [FilePath] | Source
Obtain a recursive listing of all files/directories beneath the specified directory. The traversal is depth-first and the original item is always present in the returned list. If the passed value is not a directory, the return value be only that value. The "." and ".." entries are removed from the data returned.
recurseDirStat :: HVFS a => a -> FilePath -> IO [(FilePath, HVFSStatEncap)] | Source
Like `recurseDir`, but return the stat() (System.Posix.Files.FileStatus) information with them. This is an optimization if you will be statting files yourself later. The items are returned lazily. WARNING: do not change your current working directory until you have consumed all the items. Doing so could cause strange effects. Alternatively, you may wish to pass an absolute path to this function.
recursiveRemove :: HVFS a => a -> FilePath -> IO () | Source
Removes a file or a directory. If a directory, also removes all its child files/directories.
bracketCWD :: FilePath -> IO a -> IO a | Source
Changes the current working directory to the given path, executes the given I/O action, then changes back to the original directory, even if the I/O action raised an exception.
Temporary Directories
mktmpdir :: String -> IO String | Source
Creates a temporary directory for your use. The passed string should be a template suitable for mkstemp; that is, end with `"XXXXXX"`. Your string should probably start with the value returned from System.Directory.getTemporaryDirectory. The name of the directory created will be returned.
brackettmpdir :: String -> (String -> IO a) -> IO a | Source
Creates a temporary directory for your use via `mktmpdir`, runs the specified action (passing in the directory name), then removes the directory and all its contents when the action completes (or raises an exception.
brackettmpdirCWD :: String -> IO a -> IO a | Source
Runs the given I/O action with the CWD set to the given tmp dir, removing the tmp dir and changing CWD back afterwards, even if there was an exception.
