Sympa::Tools::File \- File\-related functions
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This package provides some file-related functions.
.SS "Functions"
.IX Subsection "Functions"
.IP "set_file_rights(%parameters)" 4
.IX Item "set_file_rights(%parameters)"
Sets owner and/or access rights on a file.
.Sp
Returns true value if setting rights succeeded.
Otherwise returns false value.
.Sp
Note:
If superuser was specified as owner, this function will die.
.ie n .IP "copy_dir($dir1, $dir2)" 4
.el .IP "copy_dir($dir1, \f(CW$dir2\fR)" 4
.IX Item "copy_dir($dir1, $dir2)"
Copy a directory and its content
.IP "del_dir($dir)" 4
.IX Item "del_dir($dir)"
Delete a directory and its content
.IP "mk_parent_dir($file)" 4
.IX Item "mk_parent_dir($file)"
To be used before creating a file in a directory that may not exist already.
.ie n .IP "mkdir_all($path, $mode)" 4
.el .IP "mkdir_all($path, \f(CW$mode\fR)" 4
.IX Item "mkdir_all($path, $mode)"
Recursively create directory and all parent directories
.ie n .IP "shift_file($file, $count)" 4
.el .IP "shift_file($file, \f(CW$count\fR)" 4
.IX Item "shift_file($file, $count)"
Shift file renaming it with date. If count is defined, keep \f(CW$count\fR file and
unlink others
.ie n .IP "get_mtime ( $file )" 4
.el .IP "get_mtime ( \f(CW$file\fR )" 4
.IX Item "get_mtime ( $file )"
Gets modification time of the file.
.Sp
Parameter:
.RS 4
.ie n .IP "$file" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$file\fR" 4
.IX Item "$file"
Full path of file.
.RE

.Sp
Returns:
.Sp
Modification time as \s-1UNIX\s0 time.
If the file is not found (including the case that the file vanishes during
execution of this function) or is not readable, returns \f(CW\*(C`POSIX::INT_MIN\*(C'\fR.
In case of other error, returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR.
.RE
.ie n .IP "list_dir($dir, $all, $original_encoding)" 4
.el .IP "list_dir($dir, \f(CW$all\fR, \f(CW$original_encoding\fR)" 4
.IX Item "list_dir($dir, $all, $original_encoding)"
\&\s-1DEPRECATED.\s0
.Sp
Recursively list the content of a directory
Return an array of hash, each entry with directory + filename + encoding
