Tcl_Obj *basePtr (in) The base path on to which to join the given elements. May be NULL. int objc (in) The number of elements in objv. Tcl_Obj *const objv[] (in) The elements to join to the given base path. Tcl_Obj *linkNamePtr (in) The name of the link to be created or read. Tcl_Obj *toPtr (in) What the link called linkNamePtr should be linked to, or NULL if the symbolic link spec- ified by linkNamePtr is to be read. int linkAction (in) OR-ed combination of flags indicating what kind of link should be created (will be ignored if toPtr is NULL). Valid bits to set are TCL_CREATE_SYMBOLIC_LINK and TCL_CRE- ATE_HARD_LINK. When both flags are set and the underlying filesystem can do either, symbolic links are preferred. _________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTIONThere are several reasons for calling the Tcl_FS API functions (e.g. Tcl_FSAccess and Tcl_FSStat) rather than calling system level func- tions like access and stat directly. First, they will work cross-platform, so an extension which calls them should work unmodified on Unix and Windows. Second, the Windows implementation of some of these functions fixes some bugs in the system level calls. Third, these func- tion calls deal with any "Utf to platform-native" path conversions which may be required (and may cache the results of such conversions for greater efficiency on subsequent calls). Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, all of these functions are "virtual filesystem aware". Any virtual filesystem (VFS for short) which has been registered (through Tcl_FSRegister) may reroute file access to alternative media or access methods. This means that all of these functions (and therefore the corresponding file, glob, pwd, cd, open, etc. Tcl commands) may be operate on "files" which are not native files in the native filesystem. This also means that any Tcl extension which accesses the filesystem (FS for short) through this API is automatically "virtual filesystem aware". Of course, if an extension accesses the native filesystem directly (through platform-specific APIs, for example), then Tcl cannot intercept such calls. If appropriate VFSes have been registered, the "files" may, to give two examples, be remote (e.g. situated on a remote ftp server) or archived (e.g. lying inside a .zip archive). Such registered filesystems provide a lookup table of functions to implement all or some of the functionality listed here. Finally, the Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat calls abstract away from what the "struct stat" buffer is actually declared to be, allowing the same code to be used both on systems with and systems without support for files larger than 2GB in size. The Tcl_FS API is objectified and may cache internal representations and other path-related strings (e.g. the current working directory). One side-effect of this is that one must not pass in objects with a reference count of zero to any of these functions. If such calls were handled, they might result in memory leaks (under some circumstances, the filesystem code may wish to retain a reference to the passed in object, and so one must not assume that after any of these calls return, the object still has a reference count of zero - it may have been incremented) or in a direct segmentation fault (or other memory access error) due to the object being freed part way through the complex object manipulation required to ensure that the path is fully normalized and absolute for filesystem determination. The practical lesson to learn from this is that Tcl_Obj *path = Tcl_NewStringObj(...); Tcl_FSWhatever(path); Tcl_DecrRefCount(path); is wrong, and may cause memory errors. The path must have its reference count incremented before passing it in, or decrementing it. For this reason, objects with a reference count of zero are considered not to be valid filesystem paths and calling any Tcl_FS API function with such an object will result in no action being taken. FS API FUNCTIONS Tcl_FSCopyFile attempts to copy the file given by srcPathPtr to the path name given by destPathPtr. If the two paths given lie in the same filesystem (according to Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath) then that filesystem's "copy file" function is called (if it is non-NULL). Otherwise the function returns -1 and sets the errno global C variable to the "EXDEV" POSIX error code (which signifies a "cross-domain link"). Tcl_FSCopyDirectory attempts to copy the directory given by srcPathPtr to the path name given by destPathPtr. If the two paths given lie in the same filesystem (according to Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath) then that filesystem's "copy file" function is called (if it is non-NULL). Otherwise the function returns -1 and sets the errno global C variable to the "EXDEV" POSIX error code (which signifies a "cross-domain link"). Tcl_FSCreateDirectory attempts to create the directory given by pathPtr by calling the owning filesystem's "create directory" function. Tcl_FSDeleteFile attempts to delete the file given by pathPtr by calling the owning filesystem's "delete file" function. Tcl_FSRemoveDirectory attempts to remove the directory given by pathPtr by calling the owning filesystem's "remove directory" function. Tcl_FSRenameFile attempts to rename the file or directory given by srcPathPtr to the path name given by destPathPtr. If the two paths given lie in the same filesystem (according to Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath) then that filesystem's "rename file" function is called (if it is non-NULL). Otherwise the function returns -1 and sets the errno global C variable to the "EXDEV" POSIX error code (which signifies a "cross-domain link"). Tcl_FSListVolumes calls each filesystem which has a non-NULL "list volumes" function and asks them to return their list of root volumes. It accumulates the return values in a list which is returned to the caller (with a reference count of 0). Tcl_FSEvalFileEx reads the file given by pathPtr using the encoding identified by encodingName and evaluates its contents as a Tcl script. | It returns the same information as Tcl_EvalObjEx. If encodingName is NULL, the system encoding is used for reading the file contents. If | the file could not be read then a Tcl error is returned to describe why the file could not be read. The eofchar for files is "32" (^Z) | for all platforms. If you require a "^Z" in code for string comparison, you can use "
