SYNOPSIS
use MDK::Common::File qw(:all);
EXPORTSdirname(FILENAME)basename(FILENAME)
returns the dirname/basename of the file name
cat_(FILES)
returns the files contents: in scalar context it returns a single
string, in array context it returns the lines.
If no file is found, undef is returned
cat_or_die(FILENAME)
same as "cat_" but dies when something goes wrong
cat_utf8(FILES)
same as C(<cat_>) but reads utf8 encoded strings
cat_utf8_or_die(FILES)
same as C(<cat_or_die>) but reads utf8 encoded strings
cat__(FILEHANDLE REF)
returns the file content: in scalar context it returns a single
string, in array context it returns the lines
output(FILENAME, LIST)
creates a file and outputs the list (if the file exists, it is
clobbered)
output_utf8(FILENAME, LIST)
same as C(<output>) but writes utf8 encoded strings
secured_output(FILENAME, LIST)
likes output() but prevents insecured usage (it dies if somebody
try to exploit the race window between unlink() and creat())
append_to_file(FILENAME, LIST)
add the LIST at the end of the file
output_p(FILENAME, LIST)
just like "output" but creates directories if needed
output_with_perm(FILENAME, PERMISSION, LIST)
same as "output_p" but sets FILENAME permission to PERMISSION
(using chmod)
mkdir_p(DIRNAME)
creates the directory (make parent directories as needed)
rm_rf(FILES)
remove the files (including sub-directories)
cp_f(FILES, DEST)
just like "cp -f"
cp_af(FILES, DEST)
just like "cp -af"
cp_afx(FILES, DEST)
just like "cp -afx"
linkf(SOURCE, DESTINATION)
symlinkf(SOURCE, DESTINATION)
renamef(SOURCE, DESTINATION)
same as link/symlink/rename but removes the destination file first
touch(FILENAME)
ensure the file exists, set the modification time to current time
all(DIRNAME)
returns all the file in directory (except "." and "..")
all_files_rec(DIRNAME)
returns all the files in directory and the sub-directories (except
"." and "..")
glob_(STRING)
simple version of "glob": doesn't handle wildcards in directory
(eg: */foo.c), nor special constructs (eg: [0-9] or {a,b})
substInFile { CODE } FILENAME
executes the code for each line of the file. You can know the end
of the file is reached using "eof"
expand_symlinks(FILENAME)
expand the symlinks in the absolute filename:
"expand_symlinks("/etc/X11/X")" gives "/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86"
openFileMaybeCompressed(FILENAME)
opens the file and returns the file handle. If the file is not
found, tries to gunzip the file + .gz
catMaybeCompressed(FILENAME)
cat_ alike. If the file is not found, tries to gunzip the file +
.gz
