type WindowsPath = WindowsString Source #

Filepaths are wchar_t* data on windows as passed to syscalls.

Filepath construction

encodeUtf :: MonadThrow m => String -> m WindowsString Source #

Partial unicode friendly encoding.

This encodes as UTF16-LE (strictly), which is a pretty good guess.

Throws an EncodingException if encoding fails.

encodeWith :: TextEncoding -> String -> Either EncodingException WindowsString Source #

Encode a String with the specified encoding.

encodeFS :: String -> IO WindowsString Source #

This mimics the behavior of the base library when doing filesystem operations, which does permissive UTF-16 encoding, where coding errors generate Chars in the surrogate range.

The reason this is in IO is because it unifies with the Posix counterpart, which does require IO. This is safe to unsafePerformIO/unsafeDupablePerformIO.

pstr :: QuasiQuoter Source #

QuasiQuote a WindowsPath. This accepts Unicode characters and encodes as UTF-16LE. Runs isValid on the input.

pack :: [WindowsChar] -> WindowsString Source #

Pack a list of platform words to a platform string.

Note that using this in conjunction with unsafeFromChar to convert from [Char] to platform string is probably not what you want, because it will truncate unicode code points.

Filepath deconstruction

decodeUtf :: MonadThrow m => WindowsString -> m String Source #

Partial unicode friendly decoding.

This decodes as UTF16-LE (strictly), which is a pretty good.

Throws a EncodingException if decoding fails.

decodeWith :: TextEncoding -> WindowsString -> Either EncodingException String Source #

Decode a WindowsString with the specified encoding.

The String is forced into memory to catch all exceptions.

decodeFS :: WindowsString -> IO String Source #

Like decodeUtf, except this mimics the behavior of the base library when doing filesystem operations, which does permissive UTF-16 encoding, where coding errors generate Chars in the surrogate range.

The reason this is in IO is because it unifies with the Posix counterpart, which does require IO. unsafePerformIO/unsafeDupablePerformIO are safe, however.

unpack :: WindowsString -> [WindowsChar] Source #

Unpack a platform string to a list of platform words.

Word construction

unsafeFromChar :: Char -> WindowsChar Source #

Truncates to 2 octets.

Word deconstruction

toChar :: WindowsChar -> Char Source #

Converts back to a unicode codepoint (total).

Separator predicates

pathSeparator :: WindowsChar Source #

The character that separates directories. In the case where more than one character is possible, pathSeparator is the 'ideal' one.

pathSeparator == '\\'S

pathSeparators :: [WindowsChar] Source #

The list of all possible separators.

pathSeparators == ['\\', '/']
pathSeparator `elem` pathSeparators

isPathSeparator :: WindowsChar -> Bool Source #

Rather than using (== pathSeparator), use this. Test if something is a path separator.

isPathSeparator a == (a `elem` pathSeparators)

searchPathSeparator :: WindowsChar Source #

The character that is used to separate the entries in the $PATH environment variable.

searchPathSeparator == ';'

isSearchPathSeparator :: WindowsChar -> Bool Source #

Is the character a file separator?

isSearchPathSeparator a == (a == searchPathSeparator)

extSeparator :: WindowsChar Source #

File extension character

extSeparator == '.'

isExtSeparator :: WindowsChar -> Bool Source #

Is the character an extension character?

isExtSeparator a == (a == extSeparator)

$PATH methods

splitSearchPath :: WindowsString -> [WindowsPath] Source #

Take a string, split it on the searchPathSeparator character.

Blank items are ignored and path elements are stripped of quotes.

splitSearchPath "File1;File2;File3"  == ["File1","File2","File3"]
splitSearchPath "File1;;File2;File3" == ["File1","File2","File3"]
splitSearchPath "File1;\"File2\";File3" == ["File1","File2","File3"]

Extension functions

addExtension "/directory/path" "ext" == "/directory/path.ext"
addExtension "file.txt" "bib" == "file.txt.bib"
addExtension "file." ".bib" == "file..bib"
addExtension "file" ".bib" == "file.bib"

addExtension x "" == x
Valid x => takeFileName (addExtension (addTrailingPathSeparator x) "ext") == ".ext"
Windows: addExtension "\\\\share" ".txt" == "\\\\share\\.txt"

hasExtension :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Does the given filename have an extension?

hasExtension "/directory/path.ext" == True
hasExtension "/directory/path" == False
null (takeExtension x) == not (hasExtension x)

(<.>) :: WindowsPath -> WindowsString -> WindowsPath Source #

Add an extension, even if there is already one there, equivalent to addExtension.

"/directory/path" <.> "ext" == "/directory/path.ext"
"/directory/path" <.> ".ext" == "/directory/path.ext"

splitExtensions :: WindowsPath -> (WindowsPath, WindowsString) Source #

Split on all extensions.

splitExtensions "/directory/path.ext" == ("/directory/path",".ext")
splitExtensions "file.tar.gz" == ("file",".tar.gz")
uncurry (<>) (splitExtensions x) == x

not $ hasExtension $ dropExtensions x
not $ any isExtSeparator $ takeFileName $ dropExtensions x

takeExtensions :: WindowsPath -> WindowsString Source #

Get all extensions.

takeExtensions "/directory/path.ext" == ".ext"
takeExtensions "file.tar.gz" == ".tar.gz"

replaceExtensions :: WindowsPath -> WindowsString -> WindowsPath Source #

Replace all extensions of a file with a new extension. Note that replaceExtension and addExtension both work for adding multiple extensions, so only required when you need to drop all extensions first.

replaceExtensions "file.fred.bob" "txt" == "file.txt"
replaceExtensions "file.fred.bob" "tar.gz" == "file.tar.gz"

isExtensionOf :: WindowsString -> WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

"csv/table.csv" `isExtensionOf` "/data/csv/table.csv" == False

stripExtension :: WindowsString -> WindowsPath -> Maybe WindowsPath Source #

Drop the given extension from a filepath, and the "." preceding it. Returns Nothing if the filepath does not have the given extension, or Just and the part before the extension if it does.

This function can be more predictable than dropExtensions, especially if the filename might itself contain . characters.

stripExtension "hs.o" "foo.x.hs.o" == Just "foo.x"
stripExtension "hi.o" "foo.x.hs.o" == Nothing
dropExtension x == fromJust (stripExtension (takeExtension x) x)

stripExtension ""     x          == Just x

Filename/directory functions

splitFileName :: WindowsPath -> (WindowsPath, WindowsPath) Source #

Split a filename into directory and file. </> is the inverse. The first component will often end with a trailing slash.

splitFileName "/directory/file.ext" == ("/directory/","file.ext")
Valid x => uncurry (</>) (splitFileName x) == x || fst (splitFileName x) == "./"
Valid x => isValid (fst (splitFileName x))
splitFileName "file/bob.txt" == ("file/", "bob.txt")
splitFileName "file/" == ("file/", "")
splitFileName "bob" == ("./", "bob")
splitFileName "c:" == ("c:","")

takeFileName :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Get the file name.

takeFileName "/directory/file.ext" == "file.ext"
takeFileName "test/" == ""
takeFileName x `isSuffixOf` x
takeFileName x == snd (splitFileName x)
Valid x => takeFileName (replaceFileName x "fred") == "fred"
Valid x => takeFileName (x </> "fred") == "fred"
Valid x => isRelative (takeFileName x)

replaceFileName :: WindowsPath -> WindowsString -> WindowsPath Source #

Set the filename.

replaceFileName "/directory/other.txt" "file.ext" == "/directory/file.ext"
Valid x => replaceFileName x (takeFileName x) == x

dropFileName :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Drop the filename. Unlike takeDirectory, this function will leave a trailing path separator on the directory.

dropFileName "/directory/file.ext" == "/directory/"
dropFileName x == fst (splitFileName x)

takeBaseName :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Get the base name, without an extension or path.

takeBaseName "/directory/file.ext" == "file"
takeBaseName "file/test.txt" == "test"
takeBaseName "dave.ext" == "dave"
takeBaseName "" == ""
takeBaseName "test" == "test"
takeBaseName (addTrailingPathSeparator x) == ""
takeBaseName "file/file.tar.gz" == "file.tar"

replaceBaseName :: WindowsPath -> WindowsString -> WindowsPath Source #

Set the base name.

replaceBaseName "/directory/other.ext" "file" == "/directory/file.ext"
replaceBaseName "file/test.txt" "bob" == "file/bob.txt"
replaceBaseName "fred" "bill" == "bill"
replaceBaseName "/dave/fred/bob.gz.tar" "new" == "/dave/fred/new.tar"
Valid x => replaceBaseName x (takeBaseName x) == x

takeDirectory :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Get the directory name, move up one level.

takeDirectory "/directory/other.ext" == "/directory"
takeDirectory x `isPrefixOf` x || takeDirectory x == "."
takeDirectory "foo" == "."
takeDirectory "/" == "/"
takeDirectory "/foo" == "/"
takeDirectory "/foo/bar/baz" == "/foo/bar"
takeDirectory "/foo/bar/baz/" == "/foo/bar/baz"
takeDirectory "foo/bar/baz" == "foo/bar"
takeDirectory "foo\\bar" == "foo"
takeDirectory "foo\\bar\\\\" == "foo\\bar"
takeDirectory "C:\\" == "C:\\"

replaceDirectory :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Set the directory, keeping the filename the same.

replaceDirectory "root/file.ext" "/directory/" == "/directory/file.ext"
Valid x => replaceDirectory x (takeDirectory x) `equalFilePath` x

(</>) :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Combine two paths with a path separator. If the second path starts with a path separator or a drive letter, then it returns the second. The intention is that readFile (dir </> file) will access the same file as setCurrentDirectory dir; readFile file.

"/directory" </> "file.ext" == "/directory\\file.ext"
"directory" </> "/file.ext" == "/file.ext"
Valid x => (takeDirectory x </> takeFileName x) `equalFilePath` x

Combined:

"C:\\foo" </> "bar" == "C:\\foo\\bar"
"home" </> "bob" == "home\\bob"

Not combined:

"home" </> "C:\\bob" == "C:\\bob"

Not combined (tricky):

If a filepath starts with a single slash, it is relative to the root of the current drive. In [1], this is (confusingly) referred to as an absolute path. The current behavior of </> is to never combine these forms.

"home" </> "/bob" == "/bob"
"home" </> "\\bob" == "\\bob"
"C:\\home" </> "\\bob" == "\\bob"

From [1]: "If a file name begins with only a disk designator but not the backslash after the colon, it is interpreted as a relative path to the current directory on the drive with the specified letter." The current behavior of </> is to never combine these forms.

"D:\\foo" </> "C:bar" == "C:bar"
"C:\\foo" </> "C:bar" == "C:bar"

splitPath :: WindowsPath -> [WindowsPath] Source #

Split a path by the directory separator.

splitPath "/directory/file.ext" == ["/","directory/","file.ext"]
concat (splitPath x) == x
splitPath "test//item/" == ["test//","item/"]
splitPath "test/item/file" == ["test/","item/","file"]
splitPath "" == []
splitPath "c:\\test\\path" == ["c:\\","test\\","path"]

joinPath :: [WindowsPath] -> WindowsPath Source #

Join path elements back together.

joinPath z == foldr (</>) "" z
joinPath ["/","directory/","file.ext"] == "/directory/file.ext"
Valid x => joinPath (splitPath x) == x
joinPath [] == ""

splitDirectories :: WindowsPath -> [WindowsPath] Source #

Just as splitPath, but don't add the trailing slashes to each element.

splitDirectories "/directory/file.ext" == ["/","directory","file.ext"]
splitDirectories "test/file" == ["test","file"]
splitDirectories "/test/file" == ["/","test","file"]
splitDirectories "C:\\test\\file" == ["C:\\", "test", "file"]
Valid x => joinPath (splitDirectories x) `equalFilePath` x
splitDirectories "" == []
splitDirectories "C:\\test\\\\\\file" == ["C:\\", "test", "file"]
splitDirectories "/test///file" == ["/","test","file"]

splitDrive "file" == ("","file")
splitDrive "c:/file" == ("c:/","file")
splitDrive "c:\\file" == ("c:\\","file")
splitDrive "\\\\shared\\test" == ("\\\\shared\\","test")
splitDrive "\\\\shared" == ("\\\\shared","")
splitDrive "\\\\?\\UNC\\shared\\file" == ("\\\\?\\UNC\\shared\\","file")
splitDrive "\\\\?\\UNCshared\\file" == ("\\\\?\\","UNCshared\\file")
splitDrive "\\\\?\\d:\\file" == ("\\\\?\\d:\\","file")
splitDrive "/d" == ("","/d")

joinDrive :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Join a drive and the rest of the path.

Valid x => uncurry joinDrive (splitDrive x) == x
Windows: joinDrive "C:" "foo" == "C:foo"
Windows: joinDrive "C:\\" "bar" == "C:\\bar"
Windows: joinDrive "\\\\share" "foo" == "\\\\share\\foo"
Windows: joinDrive "/:" "foo" == "/:\\foo"

Join a drive and the rest of the path.

Valid x => uncurry joinDrive (splitDrive x) == x
joinDrive "C:" "foo" == "C:foo"
joinDrive "C:\\" "bar" == "C:\\bar"
joinDrive "\\\\share" "foo" == "\\\\share\\foo"
joinDrive "/:" "foo" == "/:\\foo"

takeDrive :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Get the drive from a filepath.

takeDrive x == fst (splitDrive x)

hasDrive :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Does a path have a drive.

not (hasDrive x) == null (takeDrive x)
hasDrive "C:\\foo" == True
hasDrive "C:foo" == True

dropDrive :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Delete the drive, if it exists.

dropDrive x == snd (splitDrive x)

isDrive :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Is an element a drive

isDrive "C:\\" == True
isDrive "C:\\foo" == False
isDrive "" == False

Trailing slash functions

hasTrailingPathSeparator :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Is an item either a directory or the last character a path separator?

hasTrailingPathSeparator "test" == False
hasTrailingPathSeparator "test/" == True

addTrailingPathSeparator :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Add a trailing file path separator if one is not already present.

hasTrailingPathSeparator (addTrailingPathSeparator x)
hasTrailingPathSeparator x ==> addTrailingPathSeparator x == x

dropTrailingPathSeparator :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Remove any trailing path separators

dropTrailingPathSeparator "file/test/" == "file/test"
dropTrailingPathSeparator "/" == "/"
dropTrailingPathSeparator "\\" == "\\"

File name manipulations

normalise :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Normalise a file

  • // outside of the drive can be made blank
  • / -> pathSeparator
  • ./ -> ""

Does not remove "..", because of symlinks.

normalise "c:\\file/bob\\" == "C:\\file\\bob\\"
normalise "c:\\" == "C:\\"
normalise "C:.\\" == "C:"
normalise "\\\\server\\test" == "\\\\server\\test"
normalise "//server/test" == "\\\\server\\test"
normalise "c:/file" == "C:\\file"
normalise "/file" == "\\file"
normalise "\\" == "\\"
normalise "/./" == "\\"
normalise "." == "."

equalFilePath :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Equality of two filepaths. If you call System.Directory.canonicalizePath first this has a much better chance of working. Note that this doesn't follow symlinks or DOSNAM~1s.

Similar to normalise, this does not expand "..", because of symlinks.

x == y ==> equalFilePath x y
normalise x == normalise y ==> equalFilePath x y
equalFilePath "foo" "foo/"
not (equalFilePath "/a/../c" "/c")
not (equalFilePath "foo" "/foo")
equalFilePath "foo" "FOO"
not (equalFilePath "C:" "C:/")

makeRelative :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Contract a filename, based on a relative path. Note that the resulting path will never introduce .. paths, as the presence of symlinks means ../b may not reach a/b if it starts from a/c. For a worked example see this blog post.

The corresponding makeAbsolute function can be found in System.Directory.

makeRelative "/directory" "/directory/file.ext" == "file.ext"
Valid x => makeRelative (takeDirectory x) x `equalFilePath` takeFileName x
makeRelative x x == "."
Valid x y => equalFilePath x y || (isRelative x && makeRelative y x == x) || equalFilePath (y </> makeRelative y x) x
makeRelative "C:\\Home" "c:\\home\\bob" == "bob"
makeRelative "C:\\Home" "c:/home/bob" == "bob"
makeRelative "C:\\Home" "D:\\Home\\Bob" == "D:\\Home\\Bob"
makeRelative "C:\\Home" "C:Home\\Bob" == "C:Home\\Bob"
makeRelative "/Home" "/home/bob" == "bob"
makeRelative "/" "//" == "//"

isRelative :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Is a path relative, or is it fixed to the root?

isRelative "path\\test" == True
isRelative "c:\\test" == False
isRelative "c:test" == True
isRelative "c:\\" == False
isRelative "c:/" == False
isRelative "c:" == True
isRelative "\\\\foo" == False
isRelative "\\\\?\\foo" == False
isRelative "\\\\?\\UNC\\foo" == False
isRelative "/foo" == True
isRelative "\\foo" == True

According to [1]:

  • "A UNC name of any format [is never relative]."
  • "You cannot use the "\?" prefix with a relative path."

isAbsolute :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

not . isRelative
isAbsolute x == not (isRelative x)

isValid :: WindowsPath -> Bool Source #

Is a filepath valid, i.e. could you create a file like it? This function checks for invalid names, and invalid characters, but does not check if length limits are exceeded, as these are typically filesystem dependent.

isValid "" == False
isValid "\0" == False
isValid "c:\\test" == True
isValid "c:\\test:of_test" == False
isValid "test*" == False
isValid "c:\\test\\nul" == False
isValid "c:\\test\\prn.txt" == False
isValid "c:\\nul\\file" == False
isValid "\\\\" == False
isValid "\\\\\\foo" == False
isValid "\\\\?\\D:file" == False
isValid "foo\tbar" == False
isValid "nul .txt" == False
isValid " nul.txt" == True

makeValid :: WindowsPath -> WindowsPath Source #

Take a filepath and make it valid; does not change already valid filepaths.

isValid (makeValid x)
isValid x ==> makeValid x == x
makeValid "" == "_"
makeValid "file\0name" == "file_name"
makeValid "c:\\already\\/valid" == "c:\\already\\/valid"
makeValid "c:\\test:of_test" == "c:\\test_of_test"
makeValid "test*" == "test_"
makeValid "c:\\test\\nul" == "c:\\test\\nul_"
makeValid "c:\\test\\prn.txt" == "c:\\test\\prn_.txt"
makeValid "c:\\test/prn.txt" == "c:\\test/prn_.txt"
makeValid "c:\\nul\\file" == "c:\\nul_\\file"
makeValid "\\\\\\foo" == "\\\\drive"
makeValid "\\\\?\\D:file" == "\\\\?\\D:\\file"
makeValid "nul .txt" == "nul _.txt"
