  +--org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils
public class FileUtils
extends java.lang.Object

This class also encapsulates methods which allow Files to be refered to using abstract path names which are translated to native system file paths at runtime as well as copying files or setting there last modification time.

getSetLastModified


protected final java.lang.reflect.Method getSetLastModified()
see whether we have a setLastModified method in File and return it.

setFileLastModified


public void setFileLastModified(java.io.File file,
                                long time)
                         throws BuildException
Calls File.setLastModified(long time) in a Java 1.1 compatible way.

BuildException

resolveFile


public java.io.File resolveFile(java.io.File file,
                                java.lang.String filename)
Interpret the filename as a file relative to the given file - unless the filename already represents an absolute filename.

Parameters:
file - the "reference" file for relative paths. This instance must be an absolute file and must not contain "./" or "../" sequences (same for \ instead of /). If it is null, this call is equivalent to new java.io.File(filename).
filename - a file name
Returns:
an absolute file that doesn't contain "./" or "../" sequences and uses the correct separator for the current platform.

normalize


public java.io.File normalize(java.lang.String path)
"normalize" the given absolute path.

This includes:

  • Uppercase the drive letter if there is one.
  • Remove redundant slashes after the drive spec.
  • resolve all ./, .\, ../ and ..\ sequences.
  • DOS style paths that start with a drive letter will have \ as the separator.

Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the file path is equal to null.

createTempFile


public java.io.File createTempFile(java.lang.String prefix,
                                   java.lang.String suffix,
                                   java.io.File parentDir)
Create a temporary file in a given directory.

The file denoted by the returned abstract pathname did not exist before this method was invoked, any subsequent invocation of this method will yield a different file name.

This method is different to File.createTempFile of JDK 1.2 as it doesn't create the file itself and doesn't use platform specific temporary directory when the parentDir attribute is null.

Parameters:
parentDir - Directory to create the temporary file in - current working directory will be assumed if this parameter is null.
Since:
1.8

contentEquals


public boolean contentEquals(java.io.File f1,
                             java.io.File f2)
                      throws java.io.IOException
Compares the contents of two files.

simple but sub-optimal comparision algorithm. written for working rather than fast. Better would be a block read into buffers followed by long comparisions apart from the final 1-7 bytes.

createNewFile


public boolean createNewFile(java.io.File f)
                      throws java.io.IOException
Emulation of File.createNewFile for JDK 1.1.

This method does not guarantee that the operation is atomic.

java.io.IOException
Since:
1.21, Ant 1.5

isSymbolicLink


public boolean isSymbolicLink(java.io.File parent,
                              java.lang.String name)
                       throws java.io.IOException
Checks whether a given file is a symbolic link.

It doesn't really test for symbolic links but whether the canonical and absolute paths of the file are identical - this may lead to false positives on some platforms.

Parameters:
parent - the parent directory of the file to test
name - the name of the file to test.
java.io.IOException
Since:
Ant 1.5

removeLeadingPath


public java.lang.String removeLeadingPath(java.io.File leading,
                                          java.io.File path)
Removes a leading path from a second path.

Parameters:
leading - The leading path, must not be null, must be absolute.
path - The path to remove from, must not be null, must be absolute.
Returns:
path's normalized absolute if it doesn't start with leading, path's path with leading's path removed otherwise.
