Class Method Details

.atime(file, time = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the file’s last access time. If a time argument is provided, it sets the file’s access time. The time argument may be a Time object or a numeric value.

# File 'lib/win32/file.rb', line 374

def self.atime(file, time = nil)
  set_filetime(file, nil, time) if time
  File::Stat.new(file).atime
end

.basename(file, suffix = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the last component of the filename given in filename. If suffix is given and present at the end of filename, it is removed. Any extension can be removed by giving an extension of “.*”.

This was reimplemented because the current version does not handle UNC paths properly, i.e. it should not return anything less than the root. In most other respects it is identical to the current implementation, except that it does not strip the drive letter on a root path.

Unlike MRI, this version will convert all forward slashes to backslashes automatically.

Examples:

File.basename("C:\\foo\\bar.txt")         -> "bar.txt"
File.basename("C:\\foo\\bar.txt", ".txt") -> "bar"
File.basename("\\\\foo\\bar")             -> "\\\\foo\\bar"

.dirname(file) ⇒ Object

Returns all components of the filename given in filename except the last one.

This was reimplemented because the current version does not handle UNC paths properly, i.e. it should not return anything less than the root. In all other respects it is identical to the current implementation.

Also, this method will convert all forward slashes to backslashes.

Examples:

File.dirname("C:\\foo\\bar\\baz.txt") -> "C:\\foo\\bar"
File.dirname("\\\\foo\\bar")          -> "\\\\foo\\bar"

Returns whether or not the file is a regular file.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

428
# File 'lib/win32/file.rb', line 425

def self.file?(file)
  return false unless File.exist?(file)
  File::Stat.new(file).file?
end

.ftype(file) ⇒ Object

Identifies the type of file. The return string is one of ‘file’, ‘directory’, ‘characterSpecial’, ‘socket’ or ‘unknown’.

435
# File 'lib/win32/file.rb', line 433

def self.ftype(file)

end

.join(*args) ⇒ Object

Join path string components together into a single string.

This method was reimplemented so that it automatically converts forward slashes to backslashes. It is otherwise identical to the core File.join method.

Examples:

File.join("C:", "foo", "bar") # => C:\foo\bar
File.join("foo", "bar")       # => foo\bar


160
161

end

.join_origObject

# File 'lib/win32/file.rb', line 16

alias_method :join_orig, :join

.long_path(file) ⇒ Object

Returns path in long format. For example, if ‘SOMEFI~1.TXT’ was the argument provided, and the short representation for ‘somefile.txt’, then this method would return ‘somefile.txt’.

Note that certain file system optimizations may prevent this method from working as expected. In that case, you will get back the file name in 8.3 format.

.realdirpath(file, relative_to = nil) ⇒ Object

Converts path to a full file path, with all symlinks resolved and relative paths made absolute. If a second parameter if present, it is used as the base for resolving leading relative path segments.

Unlike File.realpath, an error is not raised if the final path created using a relative path argument doesn’t exist. – On Windows we only modify the realpath method if the file is a symlink.
