HSFM.FileSystem.FileType
Description
This module provides a data type for representing directories/files in a well-typed and convenient way. This is useful to gather and save information about a file, so the information can be easily processed in e.g. a GUI.
However, it's not meant to be used to interact with low-level functions that copy files etc, since there's no guarantee that the in-memory representation of the type still matches what is happening on filesystem level.
If you interact with low-level libraries, you must not pattern
match on the `File a` type. Instead, you should only use the saved
path and make no assumptions about the file the path might or
might not point to.

Documentation
The String in the path field is always a full path. The free type variable is used in the File/Dir constructor and can hold Handles, Strings representing a file's contents or anything else you can think of.
Low-level file information.

Fields

pattern FileLike :: File FileInfo -> File FileInfo Source
Matches on any non-directory kind of files, excluding symlinks.
pattern DirList :: [File FileInfo] -> [File FileInfo] Source
Matches a list of directories or symlinks pointing to directories.
pattern FileLikeList :: [File FileInfo] -> [File FileInfo] Source
Matches a list of any non-directory kind of files or symlinks pointing to such.
pattern FileLikeSym :: File FileInfo -> File FileInfo Source
Matches on symlinks pointing to file-like files only.
pattern DirOrSym :: File FileInfo -> File FileInfo Source
Matches on directories or symlinks pointing to directories. If the symlink is pointing to a symlink pointing to a directory, then it will return True, but also return the first element in the symlink- chain, not the last.
pattern DirSym :: File FileInfo -> File FileInfo Source
Matches on symlinks pointing to directories only.
pattern FileLikeOrSym :: File FileInfo -> File FileInfo Source
Matches on any non-directory kind of files or symlinks pointing to such. If the symlink is pointing to a symlink pointing to such a file, then it will return True, but also return the first element in the symlink- chain, not the last.
readFile :: (Path Abs -> IO a) -> Path Abs -> IO (File a) Source
Reads a file or directory Path into an AnchoredFile, filling the free
variables via the given function.
Get the contents of a given directory and return them as a list
of AnchoredFile.
getContents :: (Path Abs -> IO a) -> File FileInfo -> IO [File a] Source
A variant of readDirectoryContents where the second argument
is a File. If a non-directory is passed returns an empty list.
getFileInfo :: Path Abs -> IO FileInfo Source
Gets all file information.
isBrokenSymlink :: File FileInfo -> Bool Source
Checks if a symlink is broken by examining the constructor of the symlink destination.
When called on a non-symlink, returns False.
packModTime :: File FileInfo -> String Source
Pack the modification time into a string.
packAccessTime :: File FileInfo -> String Source
Pack the modification time into a string.
epochToString :: EpochTime -> String Source
packPermissions :: File FileInfo -> String Source
Pack the permissions into a string, similar to what "ls -l" does.
packFileType :: File a -> String Source
packLinkDestination :: File a -> Maybe ByteString Source
getFPasStr :: File a -> String Source
