module FilePath:sig
..end
Operations on abstract filenames.
This module allow to manipulate string or abstract representation of a filename.
Abstract representation of a filename allow to decode it only once, and should speed up further operation on it (comparison in particular). If you intend to do a lot of processing on filename, you should consider using its abstract representation.
This module manipulate abstract path that are not bound to a real
filesystem. In particular, it makes the assumption that there is no
symbolic link that should modify the meaning of a path. If you intend to use
this module against a real set of filename, the best solution is to apply to
every filename to solve symbolic link through FileUtil.readlink
.
typefilename =
string
Filename type.
typeextension =
string
Extension type.
exception BaseFilenameRelative of filename
Cannot pass a base filename which is relative.
exception UnrecognizedOS of string
We do not have recognized any OS, please contact upstream.
exception EmptyFilename
The filename use was empty.
exception NoExtension of filename
The last component of the filename does not support extension (Root, ParentDir...)
exception InvalidFilename of filename
The filename used is invalid.
val is_subdir : filename -> filename -> bool
is_subdir fl1 fl2
Is fl2
a sub directory of fl1
val is_updir : filename -> filename -> bool
is_updir fl1 fl2
Is fl1
a sub directory of fl2
val compare : filename -> filename -> int
compare fl1 fl2
Give an order between the two filename. The
classification is done by sub directory relation, fl1
< fl2
iff fl1
is
a subdirectory of fl2
, and lexicographical order of each part of the
reduce filename when fl1
and fl2
has no hierarchical relation
val current_dir : filename
Current dir.
val parent_dir : filename
Upper dir.
val make_filename : string list -> filename
Make a filename from a set of strings.
val basename : filename -> filename
Extract only the file name of a filename.
val dirname : filename -> filename
Extract the directory name of a filename.
val concat : filename -> filename -> filename
Append a filename to a filename.
val reduce : ?no_symlink:bool -> filename -> filename
Return the shortest filename which is equal to the filename given. It remove
the "." in Unix filename, for example.
If no_symlink
flag is set, consider that the path doesn't contain symlink
and in this case ".." for Unix filename are also reduced.
val make_absolute : filename -> filename -> filename
Create an absolute filename from a filename relative and an absolute base filename.
val make_relative : filename -> filename -> filename
Create a filename which is relative to the base filename.
val reparent : filename ->
filename -> filename -> filename
reparent fln_src fln_dst fln
Return the same filename as fln
but the root is no more fln_src
but fln_dst
. It replaces the
fln_src
prefix by fln_dst
.
val identity : filename -> filename
Identity for testing the stability of implode/explode.
val is_valid : filename -> bool
Test if the filename is a valid one.
val is_relative : filename -> bool
Check if the filename is relative to a dir or not.
val is_current : filename -> bool
Check if the filename is the current directory.
val is_parent : filename -> bool
Check if the filename is the parent directory.
Extension is define as the suffix of a filename, just after the last ".".
val chop_extension : filename -> filename
Remove extension and the trailing ".".
val get_extension : filename -> extension
Extract the extension.
val check_extension : filename -> extension -> bool
Check the extension.
val add_extension : filename -> extension -> filename
Add an extension with a "." before.
val replace_extension : filename -> extension -> filename
Replace extension.
PATH-like refers the environment variable PATH. This variable holds a list
of filename. The functions string_of_path
and path_of_string
allow to
convert this kind of list by using the good separator between filename.
val string_of_path : filename list -> string
Create a PATH-like string.
val path_of_string : string -> filename list
Extract filenames from a PATH-like string.
Definition of operations for path manipulation.
