struct FileSystem ¶#

Models an OS-specific file-system. Included here are methods to manipulate the current working directory, and to convert a path to its absolute form.

FilePath toAbsolute(FilePath target, char[] prefix = null) [static, deprecated] ¶#

Convert the provided path to an absolute path, using the current working directory where prefix is not provided. If the given path is already an absolute path, return it intact.

Returns the provided path, adjusted as necessary

Deprecated:

see FilePath.absolute

char[] toAbsolute(char[] path, char[] prefix = null) [static, deprecated] ¶#

Convert the provided path to an absolute path, using the current working directory where prefix is not provided. If the given path is already an absolute path, return it intact.

Returns the provided path, adjusted as necessary

Deprecated:

see FilePath.absolute

bool equals(char[] path1, char[] path2, char[] prefix = null) [static, deprecated] ¶#

Compare to paths for absolute equality. The given prefix is prepended to the paths where they are not already in absolute format (start with a '/'). Where prefix is not provided, the current working directory will be used

Returns true if the paths are equivalent, false otherwise

Deprecated:

see FilePath.equals

void exception(char[] msg) [private, static] ¶#

void setDirectory(char[] path) [static, deprecated] ¶#

Set the current working directory

Deprecated:

see Environment.cwd()

char[] getDirectory() [static, deprecated] ¶#

Return the current working directory

Deprecated:

see Environment.cwd()

char[][] roots() [static] ¶#

List the set of root devices (C:, D: etc)

long freeSpace(char[] folder, bool superuser = false) [static] ¶#

Request how much free space in bytes is available on the disk/mountpoint where folder resides.

If a quota limit exists for this area, that will be taken into account unless superuser is set to true.

If a user has exceeded the quota, a negative number can be returned.

Note that the difference between total available space and free space will not equal the combined size of the contents on the file system, since the numbers for the functions here are calculated from the used blocks, including those spent on metadata and file nodes.

If actual used space is wanted one should use the statistics functionality of tango.io.vfs.

Since:

0.99.9

ulong totalSpace(char[] folder, bool superuser = false) [static] ¶#

Request how large in bytes the disk/mountpoint where folder resides is.

If a quota limit exists for this area, then that quota can be what will be returned unless superuser is set to true. On Posix systems this distinction is not made though.

NOTE Access to this information when _superuser is set to true may only be available if the program is run in superuser mode.
