mach.io.file

This package provides functionality for dealing with the file system.

mach.io.file.file

This module is deprecated. Please use mach.io.file.path instead.

mach.io.file.path

The Path type may be used to perform actions and manipulations with file paths. An instance should be created by calling the constructor with some string representing a file path.

import mach.range : tailis;
auto path = Path(__FILE_FULL_PATH__); // .../mach/io/file/path.d
assert(path.exists); // Refers to an actual file or directory?
assert(path.isfile); // It's a file,
assert(!path.isdir); // It's not a directory,
assert(!path.islink); // Nor is it a symbolic link.
assert(path.basename == "path.d"); // Get the file name
assert(path.directory.tailis("file")); // Get the directory, .../mach/io/file
assert(path.extension == "d"); // Get the file extension
assert(path.stripext.tailis("path")); // Get the path without the extension
assert(path.filesize > 100); // Get the file size in bytes

Also supported are copy, rename, and remove methods.

auto path = Path(__FILE_FULL_PATH__); // .../mach/io/file/path.d
auto copy = path.copy(path ~ ".unittest.copied");
auto renamed = copy.rename(path ~ ".unittest.renamed");
renamed.remove();
assert(!renamed.exists);
