14 | wxFileName encapsulates a file name. This class serves two purposes: first, it | |
15 | provides the functions to split the file names into components and to recombine | |
16 | these components in the full file name which can then be passed to the OS file | |
17 | functions (and \helpref{wxWindows functions}{filefunctions} wrapping them). | |
18 | Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that | |
95c00185 | 19 | to change the file data you should use \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} class instead. |

28 | Many wxFileName methods accept the path format argument which is by\rtfsp | |
29 | {\tt wxPATH\_NATIVE} by default meaning to use the path format native for the | |
30 | current platform. | |
31 | ||
32 | The path format affects the operation of wxFileName functions in several ways: | |
33 | first and foremost, it defines the path separator character to use, but it also | |
34 | affects other things such as whether the path has the drive part or not. | |
35 | ||
36 | \begin{verbatim} | |
37 | enum wxPathFormat | |
38 | { | |
39 | wxPATH_NATIVE = 0, // the path format for the current platform | |
40 | wxPATH_UNIX, | |
41 | wxPATH_MAC, | |
42 | wxPATH_DOS, | |
43 | wxPATH_VMS, | |
44 | ||
45 | wxPATH_BEOS = wxPATH_UNIX, | |
46 | wxPATH_WIN = wxPATH_DOS, | |
47 | wxPATH_OS2 = wxPATH_DOS | |

55 | wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows, Mac OS | |
56 | and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries | |
2edb0bde | 57 | to treat them all in the same generic way. It supposes that all file names |
6f91bc33 VZ |
58 | consist of the following parts: the volume (also known as drive under Windows |
59 | or device under VMS), the path which is a sequence of directory names separated | |
60 | by the \helpref{path separators}{wxfilenamegetpathseparators} and the full | |
61 | filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the | |
62 | extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty and, | |
63 | for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they are all | |
64 | empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an invalid | |
0894707e | 65 | state and \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} returns {\tt false} for it. |
6f91bc33 VZ |
66 | |
67 | File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function\rtfsp | |
68 | \helpref{IsCaseSensitive}{wxfilenameiscasesensitive} allows to determine this. | |
69 | ||
70 | The rules for determining if the file name is absolute or relative also depends | |
71 | on the file name format and the only portable way to answer to this question is | |
72 | to use \helpref{IsAbsolute}{wxfilenameisabsolute} method. To ensure that the | |
0894707e VS |
73 | filename is absolute you may use \helpref{MakeAbsolute}{wxfilenamemakeabsolute}. |
74 | There is also an inverse function | |
75 | \helpref{MakeRelativeTo}{wxfilenamemakerelativeto} which undoes what | |
76 | \helpref{Normalize(wxPATH\_NORM\_DOTS)}{wxfilenamenormalize} does. | |
6f91bc33 VZ |
77 | |
78 | Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this | |
79 | class are \helpref{GetVolumeSeparator}{wxfilenamegetvolumeseparator},\rtfsp | |
2db991f4 | 80 | \helpref{IsPathSeparator}{wxfilenameispathseparator}. |

84 | \membersection{File name construction} | |
85 | ||
86 | TODO. | |
87 | ||
88 | \membersection{File tests} | |
89 | ||
90 | Before doing the other tests you should use \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} to | |
91 | verify that the filename is well defined. If it is, | |
92 | \helpref{FileExists}{wxfilenamefileexists} can be used to test if a file with | |
93 | such name exists and \helpref{DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists} - if a directory | |
94 | with this name exists. | |
95 | ||
96 | File names should be compared using \helpref{SameAs}{wxfilenamesameas} method | |
97 | or \helpref{$==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}. | |
98 | ||
99 | \membersection{File name components} | |
100 | ||
101 | These functions allow to examine and modify the directories of the path: | |
102 | ||
103 | \helpref{AppendDir}{wxfilenameappenddir}\\ | |
104 | \helpref{InsertDir}{wxfilenameinsertdir}\\ | |
105 | \helpref{GetDirCount}{wxfilenamegetdircount} | |
106 | \helpref{PrependDir}{wxfilenameprependdir}\\ | |
107 | \helpref{RemoveDir}{wxfilenameremovedir} | |
108 | ||
109 | To change the components of the file name individually you can use the | |
110 | following functions: | |
111 | ||
112 | \helpref{GetExt}{wxfilenamegetext}\\ | |
113 | \helpref{GetName}{wxfilenamegetname}\\ | |
114 | \helpref{GetVolume}{wxfilenamegetvolume}\\ | |
115 | \helpref{HasExt}{wxfilenamehasext}\\ | |
116 | \helpref{HasName}{wxfilenamehasname}\\ | |
117 | \helpref{HasVolume}{wxfilenamehasvolume}\\ | |
118 | \helpref{SetExt}{wxfilenamesetext}\\ | |
119 | \helpref{SetName}{wxfilenamesetname}\\ | |
120 | \helpref{SetVolume}{wxfilenamesetvolume}\\ | |
121 | ||
122 | \membersection{Operations} | |
123 | ||
124 | These methods allow to work with the file creation, access and modification | |
6dbb903b VZ |
125 | times. Note that not all filesystems under all platforms implement these times |
126 | in the same way. For example, the access time under Windows has a resolution of | |
127 | one day (so it is really the access date and not time). The access time may be | |
128 | updated when the file is executed or not depending on the platform. | |
6f91bc33 VZ |
129 | |
130 | \helpref{GetModificationTime}{wxfilenamegetmodificationtime}\\ | |
131 | \helpref{GetTimes}{wxfilenamegettimes}\\ | |
132 | \helpref{SetTimes}{wxfilenamesettimes}\\ | |
133 | \helpref{Touch}{wxfilenametouch} | |
134 | ||
135 | Other file system operations functions are: | |

233 | Returns a temporary file name starting with the given {\it prefix}. If | |

238 | If the function succeeds, the temporary file is actually created. If\rtfsp |

241 | no race condition occurs between the temporary file name generation and opening | |
242 | it which could often lead to security compromise on the multiuser systems. | |
243 | If {\it fileTemp} is {\tt NULL}, the file is only created, but not opened. | |
244 | ||
245 | Under Unix, the temporary file will have read and write permissions for the | |
