Detailed Description

The name of a file, such as a texture file or an Egg file.

Stores the full pathname, and includes functions for extracting out the directory prefix part and the file extension and stuff.

A Filename is also aware of the mapping between the Unix-like filename convention we use internally, and the local OS's specific filename convention, and it knows how to perform basic OS-specific I/O, like testing for file existence and searching a searchpath, as well as the best way to open an fstream for reading or writing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Filename() [1/2]

Filename::Filename ( )
inline

◆ Filename() [2/2]

Filename::Filename ( const Filename dirname,
const Filename basename 
)

This constructor composes the filename out of a directory part and a basename part.

It will insert an intervening '/' if necessary.

Definition at line 299 of file filename.cxx.

References get_fullpath().

Member Function Documentation

◆ __nonzero__()

bool Filename::__nonzero__ ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the Filename is valid (not empty), or false if it is an empty string.

This implements the Python equivalent to operator bool. Defining an actual operator bool method for C++ use would work too, but it seems to cause too many ambiguities for the C++ compiler, so we use this Python-only approach instead.

Definition at line 611 of file filename.I.

◆ atomic_compare_and_exchange_contents()

bool Filename::atomic_compare_and_exchange_contents ( std::string &  orig_contents,
const std::string &  old_contents,
const std::string &  new_contents 
) const

Uses native file-locking mechanisms to atomically replace the contents of a (small) file with the specified contents, assuming it hasn't changed since the last time the file was read.

This is designed to be similar to AtomicAdjust::compare_and_exchange(). The method writes new_contents to the file, completely replacing the original contents; but only if the original contents exactly matched old_contents. If the file was modified, returns true. If, however, the original contents of the file did not exactly match old_contents, then the file is not modified, and false is returned. In either case, orig_contents is filled with the original contents of the file.

If the file does not exist, it is implicitly created, and its original contents are empty.

If an I/O error occurs on write, some of the file may or may not have been written, and false is returned.

Expressed in pseudo-code, the logic is:

orig_contents = file.read(); if (orig_contents == old_contents) { file.write(new_contents); return true; } return false;

The operation is guaranteed to be atomic only if the only operations that read and write to this file are atomic_compare_and_exchange_contents() and atomic_read_contents().

◆ atomic_read_contents()

bool Filename::atomic_read_contents ( std::string &  contents) const

Uses native file-locking mechanisms to atomically read the contents of a (small) file.

This is the only way to read a file protected by atomic_compare_and_exchange_contents(), and be confident that the read operation is actually atomic with respect to that method.

If the file does not exist, it is implicitly created, and its contents are empty.

If the file is read successfully, fills its contents in the indicated string, and returns true. If the file cannot be read, returns false.

Changes directory to the specified location.

Returns true if successful, false if failure.

◆ compare_timestamps()

int Filename::compare_timestamps ( const Filename other,
bool  this_missing_is_old = true,
bool  other_missing_is_old = true 
) const

Returns a number less than zero if the file named by this object is older than the given file, zero if they have the same timestamp, or greater than zero if this one is newer.

If this_missing_is_old is true, it indicates that a missing file will be treated as if it were older than any other file; otherwise, a missing file will be treated as if it were newer than any other file. Similarly for other_missing_is_old.

◆ copy_to()

bool Filename::copy_to ( const Filename other) const

Copies the file to the indicated new filename, by reading the contents and writing it to the new file.

Returns true if successful, false on failure. The copy is always binary, regardless of the filename settings.

◆ exists()

bool Filename::exists ( ) const

Returns true if the filename exists on the disk, false otherwise.

If the type is indicated to be executable, this also tests that the file has execute permission.

◆ expand_from()

Filename Filename::expand_from ( const std::string &  user_string,
Filename::Type  type = T_general 
)
static

Returns the same thing as from_os_specific(), but embedded environment variable references (e.g.

"$DMODELS/foo.txt") are expanded out. It also automatically elevates the file to its true case if needed.

◆ extract_components()

void Filename::extract_components ( vector_string &  components) const

Extracts out the individual directory components of the path into a series of strings.

get_basename() will be the last component stored in the vector. Note that no distinction is made by this method between a leading slash and no leading slash, but you can call is_local() to differentiate the two cases.

Definition at line 872 of file filename.cxx.

◆ find_on_searchpath()

int Filename::find_on_searchpath ( const DSearchPath searchpath)

Performs the reverse of the resolve_filename() operation: assuming that the current filename is fully-specified pathname (i.e.

beginning with '/'), look on the indicated search path for a directory under which the file can be found. When found, adjust the Filename to be relative to the indicated directory name.

Returns the index of the directory on the searchpath at which the file was found, or -1 if it was not found.

References DSearchPath::get_num_directories.

◆ from_os_specific()

Filename Filename::from_os_specific ( const std::string &  os_specific,
Filename::Type  type = T_general 
)
static

This named constructor returns a Panda-style filename (that is, using forward slashes, and no drive letter) based on the supplied filename string that describes a filename in the local system conventions (for instance, on Windows, it may use backslashes or begin with a drive letter and a colon).

Use this function to create a Filename from an externally-given filename string. Use to_os_specific() again later to reconvert it back to the local operating system's conventions.

This function will do the right thing even if the filename is partially local conventions and partially Panda conventions; e.g. some backslashes and some forward slashes.

bool Filename::is_fully_qualified ( ) const
inline

Returns true if the filename is fully qualified, e.g.

begins with a slash. This is almost, but not quite, the same thing as !is_local(). It's not exactly the same because a special case is made for filenames that begin with a single dot followed by a slash–these are considered to be fully qualified (they are explicitly relative to the current directory, and do not refer to a filename on a search path somewhere).

◆ make_absolute() [1/2]

void Filename::make_absolute ( )

Converts the filename to a fully-qualified pathname from the root (if it is a relative pathname), and then standardizes it (see standardize()).

This is sometimes a little problematic, since it may convert the file to its 'true' absolute pathname, which could be an ugly NFS-named file, irrespective of symbolic links (e.g. /.automount/dimbo/root/usr2/fit/people/drose instead of /fit/people/drose); besides being ugly, filenames like this may not be consistent across multiple different platforms.

◆ make_absolute() [2/2]

void Filename::make_absolute ( const Filename start_directory)

Converts the filename to a fully-qualified filename from the root (if it is a relative filename), and then standardizes it (see standardize()).

This flavor accepts a specific starting directory that the filename is known to be relative to.

Definition at line 983 of file filename.cxx.

References is_local(), and standardize().

◆ make_canonical()

bool Filename::make_canonical ( )

Converts this filename to a canonical name by replacing the directory part with the fully-qualified directory part.

This is done by changing to that directory and calling getcwd().

This has the effect of (a) converting relative paths to absolute paths (but see make_absolute() if this is the only effect you want), and (b) always resolving a given directory name to the same string, even if different symbolic links are traversed, and (c) changing nice symbolic-link paths like fit/people/drose to ugly NFS automounter names like hosts/dimbo/usr2/fit/people/drose. This can be troubling, but sometimes this is exactly what you want, particularly if you're about to call make_relative_to() between two filenames.

The return value is true if successful, or false on failure (usually because the directory name does not exist or cannot be chdir'ed into).

◆ make_dir()

bool Filename::make_dir ( ) const

Creates all the directories in the path to the file specified in the filename, except for the basename itself.

This assumes that the Filename contains the name of a file, not a directory name; it ensures that the directory containing the file exists.

However, if the filename ends in a slash, it assumes the Filename represents the name of a directory, and creates all the paths.

◆ make_relative_to()

bool Filename::make_relative_to ( Filename  directory,
bool  allow_backups = true 
)

Adjusts this filename, which must be a fully-specified pathname beginning with a slash, to make it a relative filename, relative to the fully- specified directory indicated (which must also begin with, and may or may not end with, a slash–a terminating slash is ignored).

This only performs a string comparsion, so it may be wise to call make_canonical() on both filenames before calling make_relative_to().

If allow_backups is false, the filename will only be adjusted to be made relative if it is already somewhere within or below the indicated directory. If allow_backups is true, it will be adjusted in all cases, even if this requires putting a series of .. characters before the filename –unless it would have to back all the way up to the root.

Returns true if the file was adjusted, false if it was not.

◆ make_true_case()

bool Filename::make_true_case ( )

On a case-insensitive operating system (e.g.

Windows), this method looks up the file in the file system and resets the Filename to represent the actual case of the file as it exists on the disk. The return value is true if the file exists and the conversion can be made, or false if there is some error.

On a case-sensitive operating system, this method does nothing and always returns true.

An empty filename is considered to exist in this case.

Sets the flag indicating whether this is a filename pattern.

When this is true, the filename is understood to be a placeholder for a numbered sequence of filename, such as an image sequence. In this case, a sequence of one or more hash characters ("#") should appear in the filename string; these characters will be filled in with the corresponding number (or more) of digits representing the sequence number. Sequence numbers always begin counting at 0.

When this is true, methods like has_hash() and get_hash_to_end() and get_filename_index() may be called. Methods like is_exists() will implicitly test for existance of filename sequence 0.
