Lambdabot.File
Description
Manage lambdabot's state files. There are three relevant directories:
- local:
.State(configurable, seeoutputDir) - home:
~.lambdabotState/ - data: relative to the data directory of the
lambdabotpackage.
Files are stored locally if the directory exists; otherwise, in the home directory. When reading a state file, and the file exists in the data directory but nowhere else, then it is picked up from the data directory.
Documentation
stateDir :: LB FilePath Source #
Locate state directory. Returns the local directory if it exists, and the home directory otherwise.
findLBFileForReading :: FilePath -> LB (Maybe FilePath) Source #
Look for the file in the local, home, and data directories.
findLBFileForWriting :: FilePath -> LB FilePath Source #
Return file name for writing state. The file will reside in the
state directory (stateDir), and findLBFileForWriting ensures that
the state directory exists.
findOrCreateLBFile :: FilePath -> LB String Source #
This returns the same file name as findLBFileForWriting.
If the file does not exist, it is either copied from the data (or home)
directory, if a copy is found there; otherwise, an empty file is
created instead.
findLBFile :: FilePath -> LB (Maybe String) Source #
Deprecated: Use findLBFileForReading or findLBFileForWriting instead
Try to find a pre-existing file, searching first in the local or home directory (but not in the data directory)
