Cross-platform representation of permissions on a file.
On POSIX systems this corresponds to "mode" and on Windows this corresponds to "attributes".
pub fn assert(ok: bool) voidInvokes detectable illegal behavior when ok is false.
In debug and safe modes, calls to this function are always generated, and the unreachable statement triggers a panic.
In fast and small modes, calls to this function are optimized away, and in fact the optimizer is able to use the assertion in its heuristics.
Inside a test block, it is best to use the testing module rather than this function, because this function may not detect a test failure in fast and small mode. Outside of a test block, this assert function is the correct function to use.
pub fn stdout() Filepub fn stderr() Filepub fn stdin() Filepub fn stat(file: File, io: Io) StatError!StatReturns Stat containing basic information about the File.
pub fn close(file: File, io: Io) voidpub fn closeMany(io: Io, files: []const File) voidpub fn sync(file: File, io: Io) SyncError!voidBlocks until all pending file contents and metadata modifications for the file have been synchronized with the underlying filesystem.
This does not ensure that metadata for the directory containing the file has also reached disk.
pub fn isTty(file: File, io: Io) Io.Cancelable!boolTest whether the file refers to a terminal (similar to libc "isatty").
See also:
pub fn enableAnsiEscapeCodes(file: File, io: Io) EnableAnsiEscapeCodesError!voidpub fn supportsAnsiEscapeCodes(file: File, io: Io) Io.Cancelable!boolTest whether ANSI escape codes will be treated as such without attempting to enable support for ANSI escape codes.
pub fn setLength(file: File, io: Io, new_length: u64) SetLengthError!voidTruncates or expands the file, populating any new data with zeroes.
The file offset after this call is left unchanged.
This function operates on an open file handle. There is not an equivalent function in Dir which operates on paths because generally, such functionality will introduce Time-Of-Check, Time-Of-Use (TOCTOU) bugs. In the rare case when those semantics are actually needed, it is reasonable to open the file with the truncate flag.
pub fn length(file: File, io: Io) LengthError!u64Retrieve the ending byte index of the file.
Sometimes cheaper than stat if only the length is needed.
pub fn setPermissions(file: File, io: Io, new_permissions: Permissions) SetPermissionsError!voidAlso known as "chmod".
The process must have the correct privileges in order to do this successfully, or must have the effective user ID matching the owner of the file.
pub fn setOwner(file: File, io: Io, owner: ?Uid, group: ?Gid) SetOwnerError!voidAlso known as "chown".
The process must have the correct privileges in order to do this successfully. The group may be changed by the owner of the file to any group of which the owner is a member. If the owner or group is specified as null, the ID is not changed.
pub fn setTimestamps(file: File, io: Io, options: SetTimestampsOptions) SetTimestampsError!voidThe granularity that ultimately is stored depends on the combination of operating system and file system. When a value as provided that exceeds this range, the value is clamped to the maximum.
pub fn setTimestampsNow(file: File, io: Io) SetTimestampsError!voidSets the accessed and modification timestamps of file to the current wall clock time.
The granularity that ultimately is stored depends on the combination of operating system and file system.
pub fn readStreaming(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []const []u8) ReadStreamingError!usizeMay return fewer bytes than buffer space available, including 0. End-of-stream is indicated by error.EndOfStream.
See also:
pub fn readPositional(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []const []u8, offset: u64) ReadPositionalError!usizeReturns 0 on stream end or if buffer has no space available for data.
See also:
pub fn writePositional(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []const []const u8, offset: u64) WritePositionalError!usizeSee also:
pub fn writePositionalAll(file: File, io: Io, bytes: []const u8, offset: u64) WritePositionalError!voidEquivalent to creating a positional writer, writing bytes, and then flushing.
pub fn reader(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []u8) ReaderDefaults to positional reading; falls back to streaming.
Positional is more threadsafe, since the global seek position is not affected.
See also:
pub fn readPositionalAll(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []u8, offset: u64) ReadPositionalError!usizeEquivalent to creating a positional reader and reading multiple times to fill buffer.
Returns number of bytes read into buffer. If less than buffer.len, end of file occurred.
See also:
pub fn readerStreaming(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []u8) ReaderPositional is more threadsafe, since the global seek position is not affected, but when such syscalls are not available, preemptively initializing in streaming mode skips a failed syscall.
See also:
pub fn writer(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []u8) WriterDefaults to positional reading; falls back to streaming.
Positional is more threadsafe, since the global seek position is not affected.
pub fn writerStreaming(file: File, io: Io, buffer: []u8) WriterPositional is more threadsafe, since the global seek position is not affected, but when such syscalls are not available, preemptively initializing in streaming mode will skip a failed syscall.
pub fn writeStreaming(file: File, io: Io, header: []const u8, data: []const []const u8, splat: usize) Writer.Error!usizeThis is a low-level API that calls the Io interface function directly. For a higher level API, see writerStreaming.
pub fn writeStreamingAll(file: File, io: Io, bytes: []const u8) Writer.Error!voidEquivalent to creating a streaming writer, writing bytes, and then flushing.
pub fn lock(file: File, io: Io, l: Lock) LockError!voidBlocks when an incompatible lock is held by another process. A process may hold only one type of lock (shared or exclusive) on a file. When a process terminates in any way, the lock is released.
Assumes the file is unlocked.
pub fn unlock(file: File, io: Io) voidAssumes the file is locked.
pub fn tryLock(file: File, io: Io, l: Lock) LockError!boolAttempts to obtain a lock, returning true if the lock is obtained, and false if there was an existing incompatible lock held. A process may hold only one type of lock (shared or exclusive) on a file. When a process terminates in any way, the lock is released.
Assumes the file is unlocked.
pub fn downgradeLock(file: File, io: Io) LockError!voidAssumes the file is already locked in exclusive mode. Atomically modifies the lock to be in shared mode, without releasing it.
pub fn realPath(file: File, io: Io, out_buffer: []u8) RealPathError!usizeObtains the canonicalized absolute path name corresponding to an open file handle.
This function has limited platform support, and using it can lead to unnecessary failures and race conditions. It is generally advisable to avoid this function entirely.
pub fn hardLink(file: File, io: Io, new_dir: Dir, new_sub_path: []const u8, options: HardLinkOptions) HardLinkError!voidpub fn createMemoryMap(file: File, io: Io, options: MemoryMap.CreateOptions) MemoryMap.CreateError!MemoryMap1
