12\section{\class{wxFileName}}\label{wxfilename}
13
14wxFileName encapsulates a file name. This class serves two purposes: first, it
15provides the functions to split the file names into components and to recombine
16these components in the full file name which can then be passed to the OS file
17functions (and \helpref{wxWindows functions}{filefunctions} wrapping them).
18Second, it includes the functions for working with the files itself. Note that
19to change the file data you should use \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} class instead.
20wxFileName provides functions for working with the file attributes.

26\wxheading{Data structures}
27
28Many 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
30current platform.
31
32The path format affects the operation of wxFileName functions in several ways:
33first and foremost, it defines the path separator character to use, but it also
34affects other things such as whether the path has the drive part or not.
35
36\begin{verbatim}
37enum 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
48}

53\membersection{File name format}
54
55wxFileName currently supports the file names in the Unix, DOS/Windows, Mac OS
56and VMS formats. Although these formats are quite different, wxFileName tries
57to treat them all in the same generic way. It supposes that all file names
58consist of the following parts: the volume (also known as drive under Windows
59or device under VMS), the path which is a sequence of directory names separated
60by the \helpref{path separators}{wxfilenamegetpathseparators} and the full
61filename itself which, in turn, is composed from the base file name and the
62extension. All of the individual components of the file name may be empty and,
63for example, the volume name is always empty under Unix, but if they are all
64empty simultaneously, the filename object is considered to be in an invalid
65state and \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} returns {\tt false} for it.
66
67File names can be case-sensitive or not, the function\rtfsp
68\helpref{IsCaseSensitive}{wxfilenameiscasesensitive} allows to determine this.
69
70The rules for determining if the file name is absolute or relative also depends
71on the file name format and the only portable way to answer to this question is
72to use \helpref{IsAbsolute}{wxfilenameisabsolute} method. To ensure that the
73filename is absolute you may use \helpref{MakeAbsolute}{wxfilenamemakeabsolute}.
74There is also an inverse function
75\helpref{MakeRelativeTo}{wxfilenamemakerelativeto} which undoes what
76\helpref{Normalize(wxPATH\_NORM\_DOTS)}{wxfilenamenormalize} does.
77
78Other functions returning information about the file format provided by this
79class are \helpref{GetVolumeSeparator}{wxfilenamegetvolumeseparator},\rtfsp
80\helpref{IsPathSeparator}{wxfilenameispathseparator}.
81
82\helpref{IsRelative}{wxfilenameisrelative}
83
84\membersection{File name construction}
85
86TODO.
87
88\membersection{File tests}
89
90Before doing the other tests you should use \helpref{IsOk}{wxfilenameisok} to
91verify that the filename is well defined. If it is,
92\helpref{FileExists}{wxfilenamefileexists} can be used to test if a file with
93such name exists and \helpref{DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists} - if a directory
94with this name exists.
95
96File names should be compared using \helpref{SameAs}{wxfilenamesameas} method
97or \helpref{$==$}{wxfilenameoperatorequal}.
98
99\membersection{File name components}
100
101These 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
109To change the components of the file name individually you can use the
110following 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
124These methods allow to work with the file creation, access and modification
125times. Note that not all filesystems under all platforms implement these times
126in the same way. For example, the access time under Windows has a resolution of
127one day (so it is really the access date and not time). The access time may be
128updated when the file is executed or not depending on the platform.
129
130\helpref{GetModificationTime}{wxfilenamegetmodificationtime}\\
131\helpref{GetTimes}{wxfilenamegettimes}\\
132\helpref{SetTimes}{wxfilenamesettimes}\\
133\helpref{Touch}{wxfilenametouch}
134
135Other file system operations functions are:
136
137\helpref{Mkdir}{wxfilenamemkdir}\\
138\helpref{Rmdir}{wxfilenamermdir}

181
182\func{void}{Assign}{\param{const wxString\& }{volume}, \param{const wxString\& }{path}, \param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{const wxString\& }{ext}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
183
184\func{void}{Assign}{\param{const wxString\& }{path}, \param{const wxString\& }{name}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
185

187
188Creates the file name from various combinations of data.
189
190\membersection{wxFileName::AssignCwd}\label{wxfilenameassigncwd}
191
192\func{void}{AssignCwd}{\param{const wxString\& }{volume = ""}}
193
194Makes this object refer to the current working directory on the specified
195volume (or current volume if {\it volume} is empty).
196
197\wxheading{See also}
198

200
201\membersection{wxFileName::AssignDir}\label{wxfilenameassigndir}
202
203\func{void}{AssignDir}{\param{const wxString\& }{dir}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
204
205Sets this file name object to the given directory name. The name and extension
206will be empty.
207
208\membersection{wxFileName::AssignHomeDir}\label{wxfilenameassignhomedir}
209
210\func{void}{AssignHomeDir}{\void}
211
212Sets this file name object to the home directory.
213
214\membersection{wxFileName::AssignTempFileName}\label{wxfilenameassigntempfilename}
215
216\func{void}{AssignTempFileName}{\param{const wxString\& }{prefix}, \param{wxFile *}{fileTemp = {\tt NULL}}}
217
218The function calls \helpref{CreateTempFileName}{wxfilenamecreatetempfilename} to
219create a temporary file and sets this object to the name of the file. If a
220temporary file couldn't be created, the object is put into the\rtfsp
221\helpref{invalid}{wxfilenameisok} state.
222
223\membersection{wxFileName::Clear}\label{wxfilenameclear}
224
225\func{void}{Clear}{\void}

231\func{static wxString}{CreateTempFileName}{\param{const wxString\& }{prefix}, \param{wxFile *}{fileTemp = {\tt NULL}}}
232
233Returns a temporary file name starting with the given {\it prefix}. If
234the {\it prefix} is an absolute path, the temporary file is created in this
235directory, otherwise it is created in the default system directory for the
236temporary files or in the current directory.
237
238If the function succeeds, the temporary file is actually created. If\rtfsp
239{\it fileTemp} is not {\tt NULL}, this file will be opened using the name of
240the temporary file. When possible, this is done in an atomic way ensuring that
241no race condition occurs between the temporary file name generation and opening
242it which could often lead to security compromise on the multiuser systems.
243If {\it fileTemp} is {\tt NULL}, the file is only created, but not opened.
244
245Under Unix, the temporary file will have read and write permissions for the
246owner only to minimize the security problems.
247
248\wxheading{Parameters}
249
250\docparam{prefix}{Prefix to use for the temporary file name construction}
251
252\docparam{fileTemp}{The file to open or {\tt NULL} to just get the name}
253
254\wxheading{Return value}
255
256The full temporary file name or an empty string on error.

289\func{static wxFileName}{FileName}{\param{const wxString\& }{file}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
290
291Returns the file name object corresponding to the given {\it file}. This
292function exists mainly for symmetry with \helpref{DirName}{wxfilenamedirname}.

373
374\constfunc{wxString}{GetPath}{\param{int }{flags = $0$}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
375
376Returns the path part of the filename (without the name or extension). The

390\func{wxChar}{GetPathSeparator}{\param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
391
392Returns the usually used path separator for this format. For all formats but

421
422\constfunc{bool}{GetTimes}{\param{wxDateTime* }{dtAccess}, \param{wxDateTime* }{dtMod}, \param{wxDateTime* }{dtCreate}}
423
424Returns the last access, last modification and creation times. The last access
425time is updated whenever the file is read or written (or executed in the case
426of Windows), last modification time is only changed when the file is written
427to. Finally, the creation time is indeed the time when the file was created
428under Windows and the inode change time under Unix (as it is impossible to
429retrieve the real file creation time there anyhow) which can also be changed
430by many operations after the file creation.
431
432Any of the pointers may be {\tt NULL} if the corresponding time is not
433needed.
434
435\wxheading{Return value}

448
449\func{wxString}{GetVolumeSeparator}{\param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}

488
489\membersection{wxFileName::IsOk}\label{wxfilenameisok}
490
491\constfunc{bool}{IsOk}{\void}
492
493Returns {\tt true} if the filename is valid, {\tt false} if it is not
494initialized yet. The assignment functions and
495\helpref{Clear}{wxfilenameclear} may reset the object to the uninitialized,
496invalid state (the former only do it on failure).
497
498\membersection{wxFileName::IsPathSeparator}\label{wxfilenameispathseparator}
499
500\func{bool}{IsPathSeparator}{\param{wxChar }{ch}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}

511
512\constfunc{bool}{IsDir}{\void}
513
514Returns {\tt true} if this object represents a directory, {\tt false} otherwise
515(i.e. if it is a file). Note that this method doesn't test whether the
516directory or file really exists, you should use
517\helpref{DirExists}{wxfilenamedirexists} or
518\helpref{FileExists}{wxfilenamefileexists} for this.
519
520\membersection{wxFileName::MakeAbsolute}\label{wxfilenamemakeabsolute}
521
522\func{bool}{MakeAbsolute}{\param{const wxString\& }{cwd = wxEmptyString}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
523
524Make the file name absolute. This is a shortcut for
525{\tt \helpref{Normalize}{wxfilenamenormalize}(wxPATH\_NORM\_DOTS | wxPATH\_NORM\_ABSOLUTE | wxPATH\_NORM\_TILDE, cwd, format)}.

534
535\func{bool}{MakeRelativeTo}{\param{const wxString\& }{pathBase = ""}, \param{wxPathFormat }{format = wxPATH\_NATIVE}}
536
537This function tries to put this file name in a form relative to {\it pathBase}.
538In other words, it returns the file name which should be used to access this

670
671This function splits a full file name into components: the volume (with the
672first version) path (including the volume in the second version), the base name
673and the extension. Any of the output parameters ({\it volume}, {\it path},
674{\it name} or {\it ext}) may be {\tt NULL} if you are not interested in the
675value of a particular component. Also, {\it fullpath} may be empty on entry.
676
677On return, {\it path} contains the file path (without the trailing separator),
678{\it name} contains the file name and {\it ext} contains the file extension
679without leading dot. All three of them may be empty if the corresponding
680component is. The old contents of the strings pointed to by these parameters
681will be overwritten in any case (if the pointers are not {\tt NULL}).
