File::Fu(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Fu(3pm)
NAME
File::Fu - file and directory objects
SYNOPSIS
The directory constructor:
use File::Fu;
my $dir = File::Fu->dir("bar");
print "$dir
"; # 'bar/'
my $file = $dir + 'bar.txt';
print "$file
"; # 'bar/bar.txt'
my $d2 = $dir % 'baz'; # 'barbaz/'
my $d3 = $dir / 'bat'; # 'bar/bat/'
my $file2 = $dir / 'bat' + 'foo.txt'; # 'bar/bat/foo.txt'
The file constructor:
my $file = File::Fu->file("foo");
$file->e and warn "$file exists";
$file->l and warn "$file is a link";
warn "file is in ", $file->dir;
ABOUT
This class provides the toplevel interface to File::Fu directory and file objects, with operator overloading which allows precise path
composition and support for most builtin methods, as well as creation of temporary files/directories, finding files, and more.
The interface and style are quite different than the perl builtins or File::Spec. The syntax is concise. Errors are thrown with croak(),
so you never need to check a return code.
Constructors
The actual objects are in the 'Dir' and 'File' sub-namespaces.
dir
my $dir = File::Fu->dir($path);
See "new" in File::Fu::Dir
file
my $file = File::Fu->file($path);
See "new" in File::Fu::File
Class Constants
tmp
Your system's '/tmp/' directory (or equivalent of that.)
my $dir = File::Fu->tmp;
home
User's $HOME directory.
my $dir = File::Fu->home;
program_name
The absolute name of your program. This will be relative from the time File::Fu was loaded. It dies if the name is '-e'.
my $prog = File::Fu->program_name;
If File::Fu was loaded after a chdir and the $0 was relative, calling program_name() throws an error. (Unless you set $0 correctly before
requiring File::Fu.)
program_dir
Returns what typically corresponds to program_name()->dirname, but just the compile-time cwd() when $0 is -e/-E.
my $dir = File::Fu->program_dir;
Class Methods
THIS_FILE
A nicer way to say __FILE__.
my $file = File::Fu->THIS_FILE;
cwd
The current working directory.
my $dir = File::Fu->cwd;
which
Returns File::Fu::File objects of ordered candidates for $name found in the path.
my @prog = File::Fu->which($name) or die "cannot find $name";
If called in scalar context, returns a single File::Fu::File object or throws an error if no candidates were found.
my $prog = File::Fu->which($name);
Temporary Directories and Files
These class methods call the corresponding File::Fu::Dir methods on the value of tmp(). That is, you get a temporary file/dir in the
'/tmp/' directory.
temp_dir
my $dir = File::Fu->temp_dir;
temp_file
my $handle = File::Fu->temp_file;
Subclassing
You may wish to subclass File:Fu and override the dir_class() and/or file_class() class methods to point to your own Dir/File subclasses.
my $class = 'My::FileFu';
my $dir = $class->dir("foo");
See File::Fu::File and File::Fu::Dir for more info.
