Description
This module makes the operations exported by System.Posix.Files
available on all platforms. On POSIX systems it re-exports operations from
System.Posix.Files
. On other platforms it emulates the operations as far
as possible.
/NOTE: the portable implementations are not well tested, in some cases functions are only stubs./

File modes
unionFileModes :: FileMode -> FileMode -> FileMode #
Combines the two file modes into one that contains modes that appear in either.
intersectFileModes :: FileMode -> FileMode -> FileMode #
Combines two file modes into one that only contains modes that appear in both.
No permissions.
Owner has read permission.
Owner has write permission.
ownerExecuteMode :: FileMode #
Owner has execute permission.
ownerModes :: FileMode #
Owner has read, write and execute permission.
Group has read permission.
Group has write permission.
groupExecuteMode :: FileMode #
Group has execute permission.
groupModes :: FileMode #
Group has read, write and execute permission.
Others have read permission.
Others have write permission.
otherExecuteMode :: FileMode #
Others have execute permission.
otherModes :: FileMode #
Others have read, write and execute permission.
Set user ID on execution.
Set group ID on execution.
stdFileMode :: FileMode #
Owner, group and others have read and write permission.
accessModes :: FileMode #
Owner, group and others have read, write and execute permission.
Setting file modes
setFileMode :: FilePath -> FileMode -> IO () #
setFileMode path mode
changes permission of the file given by path
to mode
. This operation may fail with throwErrnoPathIfMinus1_
if path
doesn't exist or if the effective user ID of the current process is not that
of the file's owner.
Note: calls chmod
.
setFdMode :: Fd -> FileMode -> IO () #
setFdMode fd mode
acts like setFileMode
but uses a file descriptor
fd
instead of a FilePath
.
Note: calls fchmod
.
setFileCreationMask :: FileMode -> IO FileMode #
setFileCreationMask mode
sets the file mode creation mask to mode
.
Modes set by this operation are subtracted from files and directories upon
creation. The previous file creation mask is returned.
Note: calls umask
.
Checking file existence and permissions
fileAccess :: FilePath -> Bool -> Bool -> Bool -> IO Bool #
fileAccess name read write exec
checks if the file (or other file system
object) name
can be accessed for reading, writing and/or executing. To
check a permission set the corresponding argument to True
.
Note: calls access
.
File status
data FileStatus #
POSIX defines operations to get information, such as owner, permissions,
size and access times, about a file. This information is represented by the
FileStatus
type.
Note: see chmod
.
Obtaining file status
getFileStatus :: FilePath -> IO FileStatus #
getFileStatus path
calls gets the FileStatus
information (user ID,
size, access times, etc.) for the file path
.
Note: calls stat
.
getFdStatus :: Fd -> IO FileStatus #
getFdStatus fd
acts as getFileStatus
but uses a file descriptor fd
.
Note: calls fstat
.
getSymbolicLinkStatus :: FilePath -> IO FileStatus #
Acts as getFileStatus
except when the FilePath
refers to a symbolic
link. In that case the FileStatus
information of the symbolic link itself
is returned instead of that of the file it points to.
Note: calls lstat
.
Querying file status
deviceID :: FileStatus -> DeviceID #
ID of the device on which this file resides.
fileID :: FileStatus -> FileID #
inode number
fileMode :: FileStatus -> FileMode #
File mode (such as permissions).
linkCount :: FileStatus -> LinkCount #
Number of hard links to this file.
fileOwner :: FileStatus -> UserID #
ID of owner.
fileGroup :: FileStatus -> GroupID #
ID of group.
specialDeviceID :: FileStatus -> DeviceID #
Describes the device that this file represents.
fileSize :: FileStatus -> FileOffset #
Size of the file in bytes. If this file is a symbolic link the size is the length of the pathname it contains.
accessTime :: FileStatus -> EpochTime #
Time of last access.
modificationTime :: FileStatus -> EpochTime #
Time of last modification.
statusChangeTime :: FileStatus -> EpochTime #
Time of last status change (i.e. owner, group, link count, mode, etc.).
isBlockDevice :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a block device.
isCharacterDevice :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a character device.
isNamedPipe :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a named pipe device.
isRegularFile :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a regular file device.
isDirectory :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a directory device.
isSymbolicLink :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a symbolic link device.
isSocket :: FileStatus -> Bool #
Checks if this file is a socket device.
Creation
createNamedPipe :: FilePath -> FileMode -> IO () #
createNamedPipe fifo mode
creates a new named pipe, fifo
, with permissions based on
mode
. May fail with throwErrnoPathIfMinus1_
if a file named name
already exists or if the effective user ID of the current process doesn't
have permission to create the pipe.
Note: calls mkfifo
.
createDevice :: FilePath -> FileMode -> DeviceID -> IO () #
createDevice path mode dev
creates either a regular or a special file
depending on the value of mode
(and dev
). mode
will normally be either
blockSpecialMode
or characterSpecialMode
. May fail with
throwErrnoPathIfMinus1_
if a file named name
already exists or if the
effective user ID of the current process doesn't have permission to create
the file.
Note: calls mknod
.
Hard links
createLink :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO () #
createLink old new
creates a new path, new
, linked to an existing file,
old
.
Note: calls link
.
removeLink :: FilePath -> IO () #
removeLink path
removes the link named path
.
Note: calls unlink
.
Symbolic links
createSymbolicLink :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO () #
createSymbolicLink file1 file2
creates a symbolic link named file2
which points to the file file1
.
Symbolic links are interpreted at run-time as if the contents of the link had been substituted into the path being followed to find a file or directory.
Note: calls symlink
.
readSymbolicLink :: FilePath -> IO FilePath #
Reads the FilePath
pointed to by the symbolic link and returns it.
Note: calls readlink
.
Renaming files
rename :: FilePath -> FilePath -> IO () #
rename old new
renames a file or directory from old
to new
.
Note: calls rename
.
Changing file ownership
setOwnerAndGroup :: FilePath -> UserID -> GroupID -> IO () #
setOwnerAndGroup path uid gid
changes the owner and group of path
to
uid
and gid
, respectively.
If uid
or gid
is specified as -1, then that ID is not changed.
Note: calls chown
.
setFdOwnerAndGroup :: Fd -> UserID -> GroupID -> IO () #
Acts as setOwnerAndGroup
but uses a file descriptor instead of a
FilePath
.
Note: calls fchown
.
setSymbolicLinkOwnerAndGroup :: FilePath -> UserID -> GroupID -> IO () #
Acts as setOwnerAndGroup
but does not follow symlinks (and thus
changes permissions on the link itself).
Note: calls lchown
.
Changing file timestamps
setFileTimes :: FilePath -> EpochTime -> EpochTime -> IO () #
setFileTimes path atime mtime
sets the access and modification times
associated with file path
to atime
and mtime
, respectively.
Note: calls utime
.
touchFile :: FilePath -> IO () #
touchFile path
sets the access and modification times associated with
file path
to the current time.
Note: calls utime
.
Setting file sizes
setFileSize :: FilePath -> FileOffset -> IO () #
Truncates the file down to the specified length. If the file was larger than the given length before this operation was performed the extra is lost.
Note: calls truncate
.
setFdSize :: Fd -> FileOffset -> IO () #
Acts as setFileSize
but uses a file descriptor instead of a FilePath
.
Note: calls ftruncate
.
Find system-specific limits for a file
getPathVar :: FilePath -> PathVar -> IO Limit #
getPathVar var path
obtains the dynamic value of the requested
configurable file limit or option associated with file or directory path
.
For defined file limits, getPathVar
returns the associated
value. For defined file options, the result of getPathVar
is undefined, but not failure.
Note: calls pathconf
.
getFdPathVar :: Fd -> PathVar -> IO Limit #
getFdPathVar var fd
obtains the dynamic value of the requested
configurable file limit or option associated with the file or directory
attached to the open channel fd
. For defined file limits, getFdPathVar
returns the associated value. For defined file options, the result of
getFdPathVar
is undefined, but not failure.
Note: calls fpathconf
.
