julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser/Projects/julia"

source

Base.Filesystem.cd — Method.

cd(dir::AbstractString=homedir())

Set the current working directory.

Examples

julia> cd("/home/JuliaUser/Projects/julia")
julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser/Projects/julia"
julia> cd()
julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser"

source

Base.Filesystem.cd — Method.

cd(f::Function, dir::AbstractString=homedir())

Temporarily change the current working directory to dir, apply function f and finally return to the original directory.

Examples

julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser"
julia> cd(readdir, "/home/JuliaUser/Projects/julia")
34-element Array{String,1}:
 ".circleci"
 ".freebsdci.sh"
 ".git"
 ".gitattributes"
 ".github"
 ⋮
 "test"
 "ui"
 "usr"
 "usr-staging"
julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser"

source

Base.Filesystem.readdir — Function.

readdir(dir::AbstractString=".") -> Vector{String}

Return the files and directories in the directory dir (or the current working directory if not given).

Examples

julia> readdir("/home/JuliaUser/Projects/julia")

 "usr"
 "usr-staging"

source

Base.Filesystem.walkdir — Function.

walkdir(dir; topdown=true, follow_symlinks=false, onerror=throw)

Return an iterator that walks the directory tree of a directory. The iterator returns a tuple containing (rootpath, dirs, files). The directory tree can be traversed top-down or bottom-up. If walkdir encounters a SystemError it will rethrow the error by default. A custom error handling function can be provided through onerror keyword argument. onerror is called with a SystemError as argument.

Examples

for (root, dirs, files) in walkdir(".")
    println("Directories in $root")
    for dir in dirs
        println(joinpath(root, dir)) # path to directories
    end
    println("Files in $root")
    for file in files
        println(joinpath(root, file)) # path to files
    end
end

julia> mkpath("my/test/dir");
julia> itr = walkdir("my");
julia> (root, dirs, files) = first(itr)
("my", ["test"], String[])
julia> (root, dirs, files) = first(itr)
("my/test", ["dir"], String[])
julia> (root, dirs, files) = first(itr)
("my/test/dir", String[], String[])

source

Base.Filesystem.mkdir — Function.

mkdir(path::AbstractString; mode::Unsigned = 0o777)

Make a new directory with name path and permissions mode. mode defaults to 0o777, modified by the current file creation mask. This function never creates more than one directory. If the directory already exists, or some intermediate directories do not exist, this function throws an error. See mkpath for a function which creates all required intermediate directories. Return path.

Examples

julia> mkdir("testingdir")
"testingdir"
julia> cd("testingdir")
julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser/testingdir"

source

Base.Filesystem.mkpath — Function.

julia> mkdir("testingdir")
"testingdir"
julia> cd("testingdir")
julia> pwd()
"/home/JuliaUser/testingdir"
julia> mkpath("my/test/dir")
"my/test/dir"
julia> readdir()
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "my"
julia> cd("my")
julia> readdir()
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "test"
julia> readdir("test")
1-element Array{String,1}:
 "dir"

source

readlink(path::AbstractString) -> AbstractString

Return the target location a symbolic link path points to.

source

Base.Filesystem.chmod — Function.

chmod(path::AbstractString, mode::Integer; recursive::Bool=false)

source

Base.Filesystem.chown — Function.

chown(path::AbstractString, owner::Integer, group::Integer=-1)

Change the owner and/or group of path to owner and/or group. If the value entered for owner or group is -1 the corresponding ID will not change. Only integer owners and groups are currently supported. Return path.

source

Base.Libc.RawFD — Type.

RawFD

Primitive type which wraps the native OS file descriptor. RawFDs can be passed to methods like stat to discover information about the underlying file, and can also be used to open streams, with the RawFD describing the OS file backing the stream.

source

Base.stat — Function.

stat(file)

Returns a structure whose fields contain information about the file. The fields of the structure are:

source

Base.Filesystem.lstat — Function.

lstat(file)

Like stat, but for symbolic links gets the info for the link itself rather than the file it refers to. This function must be called on a file path rather than a file object or a file descriptor.

source

Base.Filesystem.ctime — Function.

ctime(file)

Equivalent to stat(file).ctime.

source

Base.Filesystem.mtime — Function.

mtime(file)

Equivalent to stat(file).mtime.

source

filemode(file)

Equivalent to stat(file).mode.

source

operm(file)

Like uperm but gets the permissions for people who neither own the file nor are a member of the group owning the file

source

Base.Filesystem.cp — Function.

cp(src::AbstractString, dst::AbstractString; force::Bool=false, follow_symlinks::Bool=false)

Copy the file, link, or directory from src to dst. force=true will first remove an existing dst.

If follow_symlinks=false, and src is a symbolic link, dst will be created as a symbolic link. If follow_symlinks=true and src is a symbolic link, dst will be a copy of the file or directory src refers to. Return dst.

source

Base.download — Function.

download(url::AbstractString, [localfile::AbstractString])

Download a file from the given url, optionally renaming it to the given local file name. Note that this function relies on the availability of external tools such as curl, wget or fetch to download the file and is provided for convenience. For production use or situations in which more options are needed, please use a package that provides the desired functionality instead.

source

Base.Filesystem.mv — Function.

mv(src::AbstractString, dst::AbstractString; force::Bool=false)

Move the file, link, or directory from src to dst. force=true will first remove an existing dst. Return dst.

Examples

julia> write("hello.txt", "world");
julia> mv("hello.txt", "goodbye.txt")
"goodbye.txt"
julia> "hello.txt" in readdir()
false
julia> readline("goodbye.txt")
"world"
julia> write("hello.txt", "world2");
julia> mv("hello.txt", "goodbye.txt")
ERROR: ArgumentError: 'goodbye.txt' exists. `force=true` is required to remove 'goodbye.txt' before moving.
Stacktrace:
 [1] #checkfor_mv_cp_cptree#10(::Bool, ::Function, ::String, ::String, ::String) at ./file.jl:293
[...]
julia> mv("hello.txt", "goodbye.txt", force=true)
"goodbye.txt"
julia> rm("goodbye.txt");

source

Base.Filesystem.rm — Function.

rm(path::AbstractString; force::Bool=false, recursive::Bool=false)

Delete the file, link, or empty directory at the given path. If force=true is passed, a non-existing path is not treated as error. If recursive=true is passed and the path is a directory, then all contents are removed recursively.

Examples

julia> mkpath("my/test/dir");
julia> rm("my", recursive=true)
julia> rm("this_file_does_not_exist", force=true)
julia> rm("this_file_does_not_exist")
ERROR: IOError: unlink: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
Stacktrace:
[...]

source

julia> touch("my_little_file");
julia> mtime("my_little_file")
1.527381559163435e9

We can see the mtime has been modified by touch.

source

Base.Filesystem.tempname — Function.

tempname()

Generate a temporary file path. This function only returns a path; no file is created. The path is likely to be unique, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Warning

This can lead to race conditions if another process obtains the same file name and creates the file before you are able to. Using mktemp() is recommended instead.

source

Base.Filesystem.tempdir — Function.

tempdir()

Obtain the path of a temporary directory (possibly shared with other processes).

source
