Implementation of next that can return platform-dependent errors depending on the host platform. When the host platform is Linux, error.DirNotFound can be returned if the directory being iterated was deleted during iteration.


        const Self = @This();

Error

Like iterate, but will not reset the directory cursor before the first iteration. This should only be used in cases where it is known that the Dir has not had its cursor modified yet (e.g. it was just opened).


Error

The containing directory. This can be used to operate directly on basename rather than path, avoiding error.NameTooLong for deeply nested paths. The directory remains open until next or deinit is called.

        pub const Error = IteratorError;

reset()

After each call to this function, and on deinit(), the memory returned from this function becomes invalid. A copy must be made in order to keep a reference to the path.

next()

Recursively iterates over a directory. self must have been opened with OpenDirOptions{.iterate = true}. Walker.deinit releases allocated memory and directory handles. The order of returned file system entries is undefined. self will not be closed after walking it.

iterate()

Calls makeDir iteratively to make an entire path (i.e. creating any parent directories that do not exist). Returns success if the path already exists and is a directory. This function is not atomic, and if it returns an error, the file system may have been modified regardless. On Windows, sub_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, sub_path should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, sub_path is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding. Paths containing .. components are handled differently depending on the platform: - On Windows, .. are resolved before the path is passed to NtCreateFile, meaning a sub_path like "first/../second" will resolve to "second" and only a ./second directory will be created. - On other platforms, .. are not resolved before the path is passed to mkdirat, meaning a sub_path like "first/../second" will create both a ./first and a ./second directory.

Entry

This function returns the canonicalized absolute pathname of pathname relative to this Dir. If pathname is absolute, ignores this Dir handle and returns the canonicalized absolute pathname of pathname argument. On Windows, sub_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On other platforms, sub_path is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding. On Windows, the result is encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On other platforms, the result is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding. This function is not universally supported by all platforms. Currently supported hosts are: Linux, macOS, and Windows. See also Dir.realpathZ, Dir.realpathW, and Dir.realpathAlloc.

OpenError

Changes the current working directory to the open directory handle. This modifies global state and can have surprising effects in multi- threaded applications. Most applications and especially libraries should not call this function as a general rule, however it can have use cases in, for example, implementing a shell, or child process execution. Not all targets support this. For example, WASI does not have the concept of a current working directory.


        const Self = @This();
        const linux = std.os.linux;

close()

true means the opened directory can be used as the Dir parameter for functions which operate based on an open directory handle. When false, such operations are Illegal Behavior.


        pub const Error = IteratorError;

openFile()

true means the opened directory can be scanned for the files and sub-directories of the result. It means the iterate function can be called.


        /// Memory such as file names referenced in this returned entry becomes invalid
        /// with subsequent calls to `next`, as well as when this `Dir` is deinitialized.

openFileZ()

true means it won't dereference the symlinks.


        pub const ErrorLinux = error{DirNotFound} || IteratorError;

openFileW()

Opens a directory at the given path. The directory is a system resource that remains open until close is called on the result. The directory cannot be iterated unless the iterate option is set to true. On Windows, sub_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, sub_path should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, sub_path is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding. Asserts that the path parameter has no null bytes.

readLinkW()

Test accessing sub_path. On Windows, sub_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, sub_path should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, sub_path is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding. Be careful of Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use race conditions when using this function. For example, instead of testing if a file exists and then opening it, just open it and handle the error for file not found.

DeleteTreeError

Check the file size, mtime, and mode of source_path and dest_path. If they are equal, does nothing. Otherwise, atomically copies source_path to dest_path. The destination file gains the mtime, atime, and mode of the source file so that the next call to updateFile will not need a copy. Returns the previous status of the file before updating. If any of the directories do not exist for dest_path, they are created. On Windows, both paths should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, both paths should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, both paths are an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding.

Guaranteed to be atomic. On Linux, until https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9636735/ is merged and readily available, there is a possibility of power loss or application termination leaving temporary files present in the same directory as dest_path.

On other platforms, both paths are an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding.

deleteTreeMinStackSize()

Directly access the .file field, and then call AtomicFile.finish to atomically replace dest_path with contents. Always call AtomicFile.deinit to clean up, regardless of whether AtomicFile.finish succeeded. dest_path must remain valid until AtomicFile.deinit is called. On Windows, dest_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, dest_path should be encoded as valid UTF-8.

WriteFileError

Returns metadata for a file inside the directory. On Windows, this requires three syscalls. On other operating systems, it only takes one. Symlinks are followed. sub_path may be absolute, in which case self is ignored. On Windows, sub_path should be encoded as [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/). On WASI, sub_path should be encoded as valid UTF-8. On other platforms, sub_path is an opaque sequence of bytes with no particular encoding.

The group may be changed by the owner of the directory to any group of which the owner is a member. Additionally, the directory must have been opened with OpenDirOptions{ .iterate = true }. If the owner or group is specified as null, the ID is not changed.
