Class type
The type for managing errors during box operations.
During a box operation, any error messages are given to this function. This function can log the error, modify the error message, or raise the error immediately.
The type of path seen during a walk_down
operation
val walk_down :
?err:box_error ->
?max_depth:int ->
from_path:Fpath.t ->
f:
(depth:int ->
path_attributes:Path_attributes.t ->
walk_path ->
(unit, string) Stdlib.result) ->
unit ->
(unit, string) Stdlib.result
walk_down ?err ?max_depth ~from_path ~f ()
visits the file from_path
or walks down a directory tree file_path
, executing f ~depth ~path_attributes path
on every file and directory.
Symlinks are followed.
When from_path
is a file, f
will be called on from_path
and that is the completion of the walk_down
procedure.
When from_path
is a directory, the traversal is pre-order, meaning that f
is called on a directory "A"
before f
is called on any children of directory "A"
. All children in a directory are traversed in lexographical order.
The path
in f ~depth ~path_attributes path
will be Root
if the current file or directory is from_path
; otherwise the path = File relpath
or path = Directory relpath
has a relpath
which is a relative path from from_path
to the current file or directory.
The depth
in f ~depth ~path_attributes path
will be an integer from 0 to max_depth
, inclusive.
At most max_depth
descendants of from_path
will be walked. When max_depth
is 0
no descent into a directory is ever conducted. The default max_depth
is 0.
Any error is passed to err
if it is specified. The default err
is the identity function Fun.id
.
val find_up :
?err:box_error ->
?max_ascent:int ->
from_dir:Fpath.t ->
basenames:Fpath.t list ->
unit ->
(Fpath.t option, string) Stdlib.result
find_up ?err ?max_ascent ~from_dir ~basenames ()
searches the directory from_dir
for any file with a name in the list basenames
. If not found, the parent directory of from_dir
is searched for the file named in basenames
.
At most max_ascent
ancestors of from_dir
will be searched until the file is found. The default max_ascent
is 20. If the file is still not found, the function returns Ok None
.
An error is reported if from_dir
is not an existing directory.
An error is reported if any of the basenames
names are not true basenames (there should be no directory components like "." or ".." or "/").
Any error is passed to err
if it is specified. The default err
is the identity function Fun.id
.
val touch_file :
?err:box_error ->
file:Fpath.t ->
unit ->
(unit, string) Stdlib.result
touch_file ?err ~file ()
creates the file file
if it does not exist, creating file
's parent directories as necessary. If the file
already exists its access and modification times are updated.
Any error is passed to err
if it is specified. The default err
is the identity function Fun.id
.
val copy_file :
?err:box_error ->
?bufsize:int ->
?mode:int ->
?basename_rewriter:(string -> string) ->
src:Fpath.t ->
dst:Fpath.t ->
unit ->
(unit, string) Stdlib.result
copy_file ?err ?bufsize ?mode ~src ~dst ()
copies the file src
to the file dst
, possibly rewriting the destination filenames with basename_rewriter
, creating dst
's parent directories as necessary.
Copying the file is done through a memory buffer of size bufsize
. The default buffer size is large and may vary version to version. We recommend setting the buffer size explicitly.
If mode
is specified, the chmod mode
will be applied to dst
. Otherwise the chmod mode is copied from src
.
The basename_rewriter
operates on the basename of the source file. For example, if a source file was "dir1/file1"
and let base_rewriter s = "rewritten-" ^ s
then the destination file will be named "rewritten-file1"
in the destination directory tree. Embedded subdirectories like let base_rewriter s = "new/" ^ s
are accepted as well.
Any error is passed to err
if it is specified. The default err
is the identity function Fun.id
.
val copy_dir :
?err:box_error ->
?bufsize:int ->
?basename_rewriter:(string -> string) ->
src:Fpath.t ->
dst:Fpath.t ->
unit ->
(unit, string) Stdlib.result
copy_dir ?err ?bufsize ~src ~dst ()
copies the contents of src
into dst
, possibly rewriting the filenames with basename_rewriter
, creating dst
and any parent directories as necessary.
Copying the files is done through a memory buffer of size bufsize
. The default buffer size is large and may vary version to version. We recommend setting the buffer size explicitly.
The basename_rewriter
