Instance Method Summary

Instance Method Detail

def cd(path : String)Source

Changes the current working directory of the process to the given string path.

require "file_utils"

FileUtils.cd("/tmp")

NOTE Alias of Dir.cd

def cd(path : String, &)Source

Changes the current working directory of the process to the given string path and invoked the block, restoring the original working directory when the block exits.

require "file_utils"

FileUtils.cd("/tmp") { Dir.current } # => "/tmp"

NOTE Alias of Dir.cd with block

def cmp(filename1 : String, filename2 : String)Source

Compares two files filename1 to filename2 to determine if they are identical. Returns true if content are the same, false otherwise.

require "file_utils"

File.write("file.cr", "1")
File.write("bar.cr", "1")
FileUtils.cmp("file.cr", "bar.cr") # => true

NOTE Alias of File.same_content?

def cp(src_path : String, dest : String)Source

Copies the file src_path to the file or directory dest. If dest is a directory, a file with the same basename as src_path is created in dest Permission bits are copied too.

require "file_utils"

File.chmod("afile", 0o600)
FileUtils.cp("afile", "afile_copy")
File.info("afile_copy").permissions.value # => 0o600

def cp(srcs : Enumerable(String), dest : String)Source

Copies a list of files src to dest. dest must be an existing directory.

require "file_utils"

Dir.mkdir("files")
FileUtils.cp({"bar.cr", "afile"}, "files")

def cp_r(src_path : String, dest_path : String)Source

Copies a file or directory src_path to dest_path. If src_path is a directory, this method copies all its contents recursively.

require "file_utils"

FileUtils.cp_r("files", "dir")

def ln(src_path : String, dest_path : String)Source

Creates a hard link dest_path which points to src_path. If dest_path already exists and is a directory, creates a link dest_path/src_path.

require "file_utils"

# Create a hard link, pointing from /usr/bin/emacs to /usr/bin/vim
FileUtils.ln("/usr/bin/vim", "/usr/bin/emacs")
# Create a hard link, pointing from /tmp/foo.c to foo.c
FileUtils.ln("foo.c", "/tmp")

def ln(src_paths : Enumerable(String), dest_dir : String)Source

Creates a hard link to each path in src_paths inside the dest_dir directory. If dest_dir is not a directory, raises an ArgumentError.

require "file_utils"

# Create /usr/bin/vim, /usr/bin/emacs, and /usr/bin/nano as hard links
FileUtils.ln(["vim", "emacs", "nano"], "/usr/bin")

def ln_s(src_path : String, dest_path : String)Source

Creates a symbolic link dest_path which points to src_path. If dest_path already exists and is a directory, creates a link dest_path/src_path.

require "file_utils"

# Create a symbolic link pointing from logs to /var/log
FileUtils.ln_s("/var/log", "logs")
# Create a symbolic link pointing from /tmp/src to src
FileUtils.ln_s("src", "/tmp")

def ln_s(src_paths : Enumerable(String), dest_dir : String)Source

Creates a symbolic link to each path in src_paths inside the dest_dir directory. If dest_dir is not a directory, raises an ArgumentError.

require "file_utils"

# Create symbolic links in src/ pointing to every .c file in the current directory
FileUtils.ln_s(Dir["*.c"], "src")

def ln_sf(src_path : String, dest_path : String)Source

Like #ln_s(String, String), but overwrites dest_path if it exists and is not a directory or if dest_path/src_path exists.

require "file_utils"

# Create a symbolic link pointing from bar.c to foo.c, even if bar.c already exists
FileUtils.ln_sf("foo.c", "bar.c")

def ln_sf(src_paths : Enumerable(String), dest_dir : String)Source

Creates a symbolic link to each path in src_paths inside the dest_dir directory, ignoring any overwritten paths.

If dest_dir is not a directory, raises an ArgumentError.

require "file_utils"

# Create symbolic links in src/ pointing to every .c file in the current directory,
# even if it means overwriting files in src/
FileUtils.ln_sf(Dir["*.c"], "src")

def mkdir(paths : Enumerable(String), mode = 511) : NilSource
