◆ basename()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::basename ( const std::string & )

static

this is NOT conform to basename() from libgen: ::basename( "/" ) = "/", carto::FileUtil::basename( "/" ) = "", ::basename( "/usr/" ) = "usr", carto::FileUtil::basename( "/usr/" ) = "" ::basename( "." ) = ".", carto::FileUtil::basename( "." ) = "", ::basename( ".." ) = "..", carto::FileUtil::basename( ".." ) = "",

But I think this fits better the use we may have of it...

◆ dirname()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::dirname ( const std::string & )

static

this is NOT conform to dirname() from libgen: ::dirname( "/usr/" ) = "/", carto::FileUtil::dirname( "/usr/" ) = "/usr"

But I think this fits better the use we may have of it...

◆ extension()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::extension ( const std::string & )

static

returns the file extension (without the dot)

◆ filenamesSplit()

static std::list<std::string> carto::FileUtil::filenamesSplit	(	const std::string &	filenames,
		const std::string &	separator
	)

static

interpret the filenames string as a list of filenames and split it.

escape characters and quotes (single and double) are allowed.

◆ fileStat()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::fileStat ( const std::string & )

static

Checks file existence, type and read/write permission.

Returns: string code containing "+" if the file exists, "r" if it is readable, "w" if it is writeable, "d" if it is a directory, "x" if it is executable (so "+rw" is the normal code for a RW file)

◆ isAbsPath()

static bool carto::FileUtil::isAbsPath ( const std::string & path )

static

true if path is an absolute path, false if it is relative

◆ linuxFilename()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::linuxFilename ( const std::string & filename )

static

Replaces backslashes with slashes characters on Windows OS on other OS, leaves filename unchanged.

◆ pathSeparator()

* static char carto::FileUtil::pathSeparator ( )

static

character separating paths in a list (generally in an environment variable).

Returns: ':' on Unix systems and ';' on Windows systems

◆ removeExtension()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::removeExtension ( const std::string & )

static

returns the filename without its extension

◆ separator()

static char carto::FileUtil::separator ( )

static

returns '/' on Unix systems and '\' on Windows systems

◆ temporaryDirectory()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::temporaryDirectory ( const std::string & prefix )

static

Creates a temporary directory.

◆ temporaryFile()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::temporaryFile	(	const std::string &	prefix,
		int &	fd
	)

static

opens a temporary file.

Parameters

prefix	is used to name the temporary file. If it is a local file (with no path), the temporary directory will be prefixed to it, otherwise the specified directory is used. A (random) generated number will be suffixed to the prefix filename, and the extension (if any) will also be appended to it. So "toto.ima" can become "/tmp/toto123456.ima".
fd	will be filled with the file descriptor of the temp file

Returns: the full name of the temporary file

On Unix, the created file doesn't have to be deleted, it is hidden (already unlinked).

On Windows, I guess the file has to be manually deleted...

◆ uriCopyOptions()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::uriCopyOptions ( const std::string & filein )

static

Extracts the options from the URI and returns them as a string : "?options1=this&option2=that".

◆ uriFilename()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::uriFilename ( const std::string & filein )

static

It is possible to treat an URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) instead of a simple path.

It would have the following syntax : "/my/path/file.ext?options1=this&option2=that" Extracts the classical filename from the URI : "/my/path/file.ext"

◆ uriOptions()

static Object carto::FileUtil::uriOptions ( const std::string & filein )

static

Extracts the options from the URI and returns them as a dictionary of strings : ( "options1" => "this", "option2" => "that" )

◆ windowsFilename()

static std::string carto::FileUtil::windowsFilename ( const std::string & filename )

static

Replaces slashes with backslashes characters.
