-- Directory operations
-- This package provides routines for manipulating directories. A directory
-- can be treated as a file, using open and close routines, and a scanning
-- routine is provided for iterating through the entries in a directory.
-- See also child package GNAT.Directory_Operations.Iteration
with Ada.Strings.Maps;
package GNAT.Directory_Operations is
subtype Dir_Name_Str is String;
-- A subtype used in this package to represent string values that are
-- directory names. A directory name is a prefix for files that appear
-- with in the directory. This means that for UNIX systems, the string
-- includes a final '/', and for DOS-like systems, it includes a final
-- '\' character. It can also include drive letters if the operating
-- system provides for this. The final '/' or '\' in a Dir_Name_Str is
-- optional when passed as a procedure or function in parameter.
type Dir_Type is limited private;
-- A value used to reference a directory. Conceptually this value includes
-- the identity of the directory, and a sequential position within it.
Null_Dir : constant Dir_Type;
-- Represent the value for an uninitialized or closed directory
Directory_Error : exception;
-- Exception raised if the directory cannot be opened, read, closed,
-- created or if it is not possible to change the current execution
-- environment directory.
Dir_Separator : constant Character;
-- Running system default directory separator
--------------------------------
-- Basic Directory operations --
--------------------------------
procedure Change_Dir (Dir_Name : Dir_Name_Str);
-- Changes the working directory of the current execution environment
-- to the directory named by Dir_Name. Raises Directory_Error if Dir_Name
-- does not exist.
procedure Make_Dir (Dir_Name : Dir_Name_Str);
-- Create a new directory named Dir_Name. Raises Directory_Error if
-- Dir_Name cannot be created.
procedure Remove_Dir (Dir_Name : Dir_Name_Str);
-- Remove the directory named Dir_Name. Raises Directory_Error if Dir_Name
-- cannot be removed.
function Get_Current_Dir return Dir_Name_Str;
-- Returns the current working directory for the execution environment.
procedure Get_Current_Dir (Dir : out Dir_Name_Str; Last : out Natural);
-- Returns the current working directory for the execution environment
-- The name is returned in Dir_Name. Last is the index in Dir_Name such
-- that Dir_Name (Last) is the last character written. If Dir_Name is
-- too small for the directory name, the name will be truncated before
-- being copied to Dir_Name.
-------------------------
-- Pathname Operations --
-------------------------
subtype Path_Name is String;
-- All routines using Path_Name handle both styles (UNIX and DOS) of
-- directory separators (either slash or back slash).
function Dir_Name (Path : Path_Name) return Dir_Name_Str;
-- Returns directory name for Path. This is similar to the UNIX dirname
-- command. Everything after the last directory separator is removed. If
-- there is no directory separator the current working directory is
-- returned.
function Base_Name
(Path : Path_Name;
Suffix : String := "")
return String;
-- Any directory prefix is removed. If Suffix is non-empty and is a
-- suffix of Path, it is removed. This is equivalent to the UNIX basename
-- command. The following rule is always true:
--
-- 'Path' and 'Dir_Name (Path) & Directory_Separator & Base_Name (Path)'
-- represent the same file.
--
-- This function is not case-sensitive on systems that have a non
-- case-sensitive file system like Windows, OS/2 and VMS.
function File_Extension (Path : Path_Name) return String;
-- Return the file extension. This is the string after the last dot
-- character in File_Name (Path). It returns the empty string if no
-- extension is found. The returned value does contains the file
-- extension separator (dot character).
function File_Name (Path : Path_Name) return String;
-- Returns the file name and the file extension if present. It removes all
-- path information. This is equivalent to Base_Name with default Extension
-- value.
type Path_Style is (UNIX, DOS, System_Default);
function Normalize_Pathname
(Path : Path_Name;
Style : Path_Style := System_Default)
return Path_Name;
-- Removes all double directory separator and converts all '\' to '/' if
-- Style is UNIX and converts all '/' to '\' if Style is set to DOS. This
-- function will help to provide a consistent naming scheme running for
-- different environments. If style is set to System_Default the routine
-- will use the default directory separator on the running environment.
function Expand_Path (Path : Path_Name) return Path_Name;
-- Returns Path with environment variables (string preceded by a dollar
-- sign) replaced by the current environment variable value. For example,
-- $HOME/mydir will be replaced by /home/joe/mydir if $HOME environment
-- variable is set to /home/joe. The variable can be surrounded by the
-- characters '{' and '}' (curly bracket) if needed as in ${HOME}/mydir.
-- If an environment variable does not exists the variable will be replaced
-- by the empty string. Two dollar signs are replaced by a single dollar
-- sign. Note that a variable must start with a letter. If there is no
-- closing curly bracket for an opening one there is no translation done,
-- so for example ${VAR/toto is returned as ${VAR/toto.

-- Iterators --
---------------
procedure Open (Dir : out Dir_Type; Dir_Name : Dir_Name_Str);
-- Opens the directory named by Dir_Name and returns a Dir_Type value
-- that refers to this directory, and is positioned at the first entry.
-- Raises Directory_Error if Dir_Name cannot be accessed. In that case
-- Dir will be set to Null_Dir.
procedure Close (Dir : in out Dir_Type);
-- Closes the directory stream refered to by Dir. After calling Close
-- Is_Open will return False. Dir will be set to Null_Dir.
-- Raises Directory_Error if Dir has not be opened (Dir = Null_Dir).
function Is_Open (Dir : Dir_Type) return Boolean;
-- Returns True if Dir is open, or False otherwise.
procedure Read
(Dir : in out Dir_Type;
Str : out String;
Last : out Natural);
-- Reads the next entry from the directory and sets Str to the name
-- of that entry. Last is the index in Str such that Str (Last) is the
-- last character written. Last is 0 when there are no more files in the
-- directory. If Str is too small for the file name, the file name will
-- be truncated before being copied to Str. The list of files returned
-- includes directories in systems providing a hierarchical directory
-- structure, including . (the current directory) and .. (the parent
-- directory) in systems providing these entries. The directory is
-- returned in target-OS form. Raises Directory_Error if Dir has not
-- be opened (Dir = Null_Dir).
function Read_Is_Thread_Safe return Boolean;
-- Indicates if procedure Read is thread safe. On systems where the
-- target system supports this functionality, Read is thread safe,
-- and this function returns True (e.g. this will be the case on any
-- UNIX or UNIX-like system providing a correct implementation of the
-- function readdir_r). If the system cannot provide a thread safe
-- implementation of Read, then this function returns False.
