29 Methods for manipulating file specifications.

33 =over 2
34
35 =item canonpath
36
37 On Mac OS, there's nothing to be done. Returns what it's given.
38
39 =cut
40
41 sub canonpath {
42 my ($self,$path) = @_;
43 return $path;
44 }
45
46 =item catdir()
47
48 Concatenate two or more directory names to form a path separated by colons
49 (":") ending with a directory. Resulting paths are B<relative> by default,
50 but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this, see below). Automatically
51 puts a trailing ":" on the end of the complete path, because that's what's
52 done in MacPerl's environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a
53 directory path.
54
55 B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the resulting
56 path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This descision was made due
57 to portability reasons. Since C<File::Spec-E<gt>catdir()> returns relative paths
58 on all other operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac
59 OS. Note that this may break some existing scripts.
60
61 The intended purpose of this routine is to concatenate I<directory names>.
62 But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional possibilities
63 are allowed to make using this routine give reasonable results for some
64 common situations. In other words, you are also allowed to concatenate
65 I<paths> instead of directory names (strictly speaking, a string like ":a"
66 is a path, but not a name, since it contains a punctuation character ":").
67
68 So, beside calls like
69
70 catdir("a") = ":a:"
71 catdir("a","b") = ":a:b:"
72 catdir() = "" (special case)
73
74 calls like the following
75
76 catdir(":a:") = ":a:"
77 catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
78 catdir(":a:","b") = ":a:b:"
79 catdir(":a:",":b:") = ":a:b:"
80 catdir(":") = ":"
81
82 are allowed.
83
84 Here are the rules that are used in C<catdir()>; note that we try to be as
85 compatible as possible to Unix:
86
87 =over 2
88
89 =item 1.
90
91 The resulting path is relative by default, i.e. the resulting path will have a
92 leading colon.
93
94 =item 2.
95
96 A trailing colon is added automatically to the resulting path, to denote a
97 directory.
98
99 =item 3.
100
101 Generally, each argument has one leading ":" and one trailing ":"
102 removed (if any). They are then joined together by a ":". Special
103 treatment applies for arguments denoting updir paths like "::lib:",
104 see (4), or arguments consisting solely of colons ("colon paths"),
105 see (5).
106
107 =item 4.
108
109 When an updir path like ":::lib::" is passed as argument, the number
110 of directories to climb up is handled correctly, not removing leading
111 or trailing colons when necessary. E.g.
112
113 catdir(":::a","::b","c") = ":::a::b:c:"
114 catdir(":::a::","::b","c") = ":::a:::b:c:"
115
116 =item 5.
117
118 Adding a colon ":" or empty string "" to a path at I<any> position
119 doesn't alter the path, i.e. these arguments are ignored. (When a ""
120 is passed as the first argument, it has a special meaning, see
121 (6)). This way, a colon ":" is handled like a "." (curdir) on Unix,
122 while an empty string "" is generally ignored (see
123 C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). Likewise, a "::" is handled like a ".."
124 (updir), and a ":::" is handled like a "../.." etc. E.g.
125
126 catdir("a",":",":","b") = ":a:b:"
127 catdir("a",":","::",":b") = ":a::b:"
128
129 =item 6.
130
131 If the first argument is an empty string "" or is a volume name, i.e. matches
132 the pattern /^[^:]+:/, the resulting path is B<absolute>.
133
134 =item 7.
135
136 Passing an empty string "" as the first argument to C<catdir()> is
137 like passingC<File::Spec-E<gt>rootdir()> as the first argument, i.e.
138
139 catdir("","a","b") is the same as
140
141 catdir(rootdir(),"a","b").
142
143 This is true on Unix, where C<catdir("","a","b")> yields "/a/b" and
144 C<rootdir()> is "/". Note that C<rootdir()> on Mac OS is the startup
145 volume, which is the closest in concept to Unix' "/". This should help
146 to run existing scripts originally written for Unix.
147
148 =item 8.
149
150 For absolute paths, some cleanup is done, to ensure that the volume
151 name isn't immediately followed by updirs. This is invalid, because
152 this would go beyond "root". Generally, these cases are handled like
153 their Unix counterparts:
154
155 Unix:
156 Unix->catdir("","") = "/"
157 Unix->catdir("",".") = "/"
158 Unix->catdir("","..") = "/" # can't go beyond root
159 Unix->catdir("",".","..","..","a") = "/a"
160 Mac:
161 Mac->catdir("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
162 Mac->catdir("",":") = rootdir()
163 Mac->catdir("","::") = rootdir() # can't go beyond root
164 Mac->catdir("",":","::","::","a") = rootdir() . "a:" # (e.g. "HD:a:")
165
166 However, this approach is limited to the first arguments following
167 "root" (again, see C<Unix-E<gt>canonpath()> ). If there are more
168 arguments that move up the directory tree, an invalid path going
169 beyond root can be created.
170
171 =back
172
173 As you've seen, you can force C<catdir()> to create an absolute path
174 by passing either an empty string or a path that begins with a volume
175 name as the first argument. However, you are strongly encouraged not
176 to do so, since this is done only for backward compatibility. Newer
177 versions of File::Spec come with a method called C<catpath()> (see
178 below), that is designed to offer a portable solution for the creation
179 of absolute paths. It takes volume, directory and file portions and
180 returns an entire path. While C<catdir()> is still suitable for the
181 concatenation of I<directory names>, you are encouraged to use
182 C<catpath()> to concatenate I<volume names> and I<directory
183 paths>. E.g.
184
185 $dir = File::Spec->catdir("tmp","sources");
186 $abs_path = File::Spec->catpath("MacintoshHD:", $dir,"");
187
188 yields
189
190 "MacintoshHD:tmp:sources:" .

259 unless ($relative) {
260 # remove updirs immediately following the volume name
261 $result =~ s/([^:]+:)(:*)(.*)\Z(?!\n)/$1$3/;
262 }
263
264 return $result;
265 }
266
267 =item catfile
268
269 Concatenate one or more directory names and a filename to form a
270 complete path ending with a filename. Resulting paths are B<relative>
271 by default, but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this).
272
273 B<IMPORTANT NOTE:> Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the
274 resulting path is relative by default and I<not> absolute. This
275 descision was made due to portability reasons. Since
276 C<File::Spec-E<gt>catfile()> returns relative paths on all other
277 operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac OS.
278 Note that this may break some existing scripts.
279
280 The last argument is always considered to be the file portion. Since
281 C<catfile()> uses C<catdir()> (see above) for the concatenation of the
282 directory portions (if any), the following with regard to relative and
283 absolute paths is true:
284
285 catfile("") = ""
286 catfile("file") = "file"
287
288 but
289
290 catfile("","") = rootdir() # (e.g. "HD:")
291 catfile("","file") = rootdir() . file # (e.g. "HD:file")
292 catfile("HD:","file") = "HD:file"
293
294 This means that C<catdir()> is called only when there are two or more
295 arguments, as one might expect.
296
297 Note that the leading ":" is removed from the filename, so that
298
299 catfile("a","b","file") = ":a:b:file" and
300
301 catfile("a","b",":file") = ":a:b:file"
302
303 give the same answer.
304
305 To concatenate I<volume names>, I<directory paths> and I<filenames>,
306 you are encouraged to use C<catpath()> (see below).

316 $file =~ s/^://s;
317 return $dir.$file;
318 }
319
320 =item curdir
321
322 Returns a string representing the current directory. On Mac OS, this is ":".

324 =cut
325
326 sub curdir {
327 return ":";
328 }
329
330 =item devnull
331
332 Returns a string representing the null device. On Mac OS, this is "Dev:Null".
333
334 =cut
335
336 sub devnull {
337 return "Dev:Null";
338 }
339
340 =item rootdir
341
342 Returns a string representing the root directory. Under MacPerl,
343 returns the name of the startup volume, since that's the closest in
344 concept, although other volumes aren't rooted there. The name has a
345 trailing ":", because that's the correct specification for a volume
346 name on Mac OS.
347
348 If Mac::Files could not be loaded, the empty string is returned.
349
350 =cut
351
352 sub rootdir {
353 #
354 # There's no real root directory on Mac OS. The name of the startup
355 # volume is returned, since that's the closest in concept.
356 #
357 return '' unless $macfiles;
358 my $system = Mac::Files::FindFolder(&Mac::Files::kOnSystemDisk,
359 &Mac::Files::kSystemFolderType);
360 $system =~ s/:.*\Z(?!\n)/:/s;
361 return $system;
362 }
363
364 =item tmpdir
365
366 Returns the contents of $ENV{TMPDIR}, if that directory exits or the
367 current working directory otherwise. Under MacPerl, $ENV{TMPDIR} will
368 contain a path like "MacintoshHD:Temporary Items:", which is a hidden
369 directory on your startup volume.
370
371 =cut
372
373 my $tmpdir;
374 sub tmpdir {
375 return $tmpdir if defined $tmpdir;
376 my $self = shift;
377 $tmpdir = $self->_tmpdir( $ENV{TMPDIR} );
378 }
379
380 =item updir
381
382 Returns a string representing the parent directory. On Mac OS, this is "::".
383
384 =cut
385
386 sub updir {
387 return "::";
388 }
389
390 =item file_name_is_absolute
391
392 Takes as argument a path and returns true, if it is an absolute path.
393 If the path has a leading ":", it's a relative path. Otherwise, it's an
394 absolute path, unless the path doesn't contain any colons, i.e. it's a name
395 like "a". In this particular case, the path is considered to be relative
396 (i.e. it is considered to be a filename). Use ":" in the appropriate place
397 in the path if you want to distinguish unambiguously. As a special case,
398 the filename '' is always considered to be absolute. Note that with version
399 1.2 of File::Spec::Mac, this does no longer consult the local filesystem.
400
401 E.g.
402
403 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute("a"); # false (relative)
404 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute(":a:b:"); # false (relative)
405 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute("MacintoshHD:"); # true (absolute)
406 File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute(""); # true (absolute)
407
408
409 =cut
410
411 sub file_name_is_absolute {
412 my ($self,$file) = @_;
413 if ($file =~ /:/) {
414 return (! ($file =~ m/^:/s) );
415 } elsif ( $file eq '' ) {
416 return 1 ;
417 } else {
418 return 0; # i.e. a file like "a"
419 }
420 }
421
422 =item path
423
424 Returns the null list for the MacPerl application, since the concept is
425 usually meaningless under Mac OS. But if you're using the MacPerl tool under
426 MPW, it gives back $ENV{Commands} suitably split, as is done in
427 :lib:ExtUtils:MM_Mac.pm.
428
429 =cut
430
431 sub path {
432 #
433 # The concept is meaningless under the MacPerl application.
434 # Under MPW, it has a meaning.
435 #
436 return unless exists $ENV{Commands};
437 return split(/,/, $ENV{Commands});
438 }
439
440 =item splitpath
441
442 ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path );
443 ($volume,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $path, $no_file );
444
445 Splits a path into volume, directory, and filename portions.
446
447 On Mac OS, assumes that the last part of the path is a filename unless
448 $no_file is true or a trailing separator ":" is present.
449
450 The volume portion is always returned with a trailing ":". The directory portion
451 is always returned with a leading (to denote a relative path) and a trailing ":"
452 (to denote a directory). The file portion is always returned I<without> a leading ":".
453 Empty portions are returned as empty string ''.
454
455 The results can be passed to C<catpath()> to get back a path equivalent to
456 (usually identical to) the original path.
457

462 my ($self,$path, $nofile) = @_;

480 $directory = ":$directory" if ( $volume && $directory ); # take care of "HD::dir"
481 if ($directory) {
482 # Make sure non-empty directories begin and end in ':'
483 $directory .= ':' unless (substr($directory,-1) eq ':');
484 $directory = ":$directory" unless (substr($directory,0,1) eq ':');
485 } else {
486 $directory = '';
487 }
488 $file = '' unless defined($file);
489
490 return ($volume,$directory,$file);
491 }
492
493
494 =item splitdir
495
496 The opposite of C<catdir()>.
497
498 @dirs = File::Spec->splitdir( $directories );
499
500 $directories should be only the directory portion of the path on systems
501 that have the concept of a volume or that have path syntax that differentiates
502 files from directories. Consider using C<splitpath()> otherwise.
503
504 Unlike just splitting the directories on the separator, empty directory names
505 (C<"">) can be returned. Since C<catdir()> on Mac OS always appends a trailing
506 colon to distinguish a directory path from a file path, a single trailing colon
507 will be ignored, i.e. there's no empty directory name after it.
508
509 Hence, on Mac OS, both
510
511 File::Spec->splitdir( ":a:b::c:" ); and
512 File::Spec->splitdir( ":a:b::c" );
513
514 yield:
515
516 ( "a", "b", "::", "c")
517
518 while

568
569 Takes volume, directory and file portions and returns an entire path. On Mac OS,
570 $volume, $directory and $file are concatenated. A ':' is inserted if need be. You
571 may pass an empty string for each portion. If all portions are empty, the empty
572 string is returned. If $volume is empty, the result will be a relative path,
573 beginning with a ':'. If $volume and $directory are empty, a leading ":" (if any)
574 is removed form $file and the remainder is returned. If $file is empty, the
575 resulting path will have a trailing ':'.

611 =item abs2rel
612
613 Takes a destination path and an optional base path and returns a relative path
614 from the base path to the destination path:
615
616 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path ) ;
617 $rel_path = File::Spec->abs2rel( $path, $base ) ;
618
619 Note that both paths are assumed to have a notation that distinguishes a
620 directory path (with trailing ':') from a file path (without trailing ':').
621
622 If $base is not present or '', then the current working directory is used.
623 If $base is relative, then it is converted to absolute form using C<rel2abs()>.
624 This means that it is taken to be relative to the current working directory.
625
626 If $path and $base appear to be on two different volumes, we will not
627 attempt to resolve the two paths, and we will instead simply return
628 $path. Note that previous versions of this module ignored the volume
629 of $base, which resulted in garbage results part of the time.
630
631 If $base doesn't have a trailing colon, the last element of $base is
632 assumed to be a filename. This filename is ignored. Otherwise all path
633 components are assumed to be directories.
634
635 If $path is relative, it is converted to absolute form using C<rel2abs()>.
636 This means that it is taken to be relative to the current working directory.

638 Based on code written by Shigio Yamaguchi.

713
714 If $base is not present or '', then $base is set to the current working
715 directory. If $base is relative, then it is converted to absolute form
716 using C<rel2abs()>. This means that it is taken to be relative to the
717 current working directory.
718
719 If $base doesn't have a trailing colon, the last element of $base is
720 assumed to be a filename. This filename is ignored. Otherwise all path
