* std.fs.Dir.readFile: add doc comments to explain what it means when
the returned slice has the same length as the supplied buffer.
* introduce readSmallFile / writeSmallFile to abstract over the
decision to use symlink or file contents to store data.
- Moves fs.rename functions to fs.renameAbsolute to match other functions outside of fs.Dir
- Adds fs.Dir.rename that takes two paths relative to the given Dir
- Adds fs.rename that takes two separate Dir's that the given paths are relative to (for renaming across directories without having to make the second path relative to a single directory)
- Fixes FileNotFound error return in std.os.windows.MoveFileExW
- Returns error.RenameAcrossMountPoints from renameatW
+ Matches the RenameAcrossMountPoints error return in renameatWasi/renameatZ
* Add a size_hint parameter to the read{toEnd,File}AllocOptions fns
* Rename readAllAlloc{,Options} to readToEndAlloc{,Options} as they
don't rewind the file before reading
* Fix missing rewind in test case
`std.os.getFdPath` is very platform-specific and can be used to query
the OS for a canonical path to a file handle. Currently supported hosts
are Linux, macOS and Windows.
`std.fs.Dir.realpath` (and null-terminated, plus WTF16 versions) are
similar to `std.os.realpath`, however, they resolve a path wrt to this
`Dir` instance.
If the input pathname argument turns out to be an absolute path, this
function reverts to calling `realpath` on that pathname completely
ignoring this `Dir`.
This way, we can remove more `kernel32` calls such as `RemoveDirectoryW`
or `DeleteFileW`, and use `std.os.windows.DeleteFile` instead which
is purely NT-based.
Replace them with `std.os.windows.OpenFile` instead. To allow
creation/opening of directories, `std.os.windows.OpenFileOptions`
now features a `.expect_dir: bool` member which is meant to emualate
POSIX's `O_DIRECTORY` flag.
Otherwise, the behaviour can lead to unexpected results, resulting
in removing an entire tree that's not necessarily under the root.
Furthermore, this change is needed if are to properly handle dir
symlinks on Windows. Without explicitly requiring that a directory
or file is opened with `FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT`, Windows automatically
dereferences all symlinks along the way. This commit adds another
option to `OpenDirOptions`, namely `.no_follow`, which defaults to
`false` and can be used to specifically open a directory symlink on
Windows or call `openat` with `O_NOFOLLOW` flag in POSIX.
This way `std.fs.symlinkAbsolute` becomes cross-platform and we can
legally include `SymlinkFlags` as an argument that's only used on
Windows. Also, now `std.os.symlink` generates a compile error on
Windows with a message to instead use `std.os.windows.CreateSymbolicLink`.
Finally, this PR also reshuffles the tests between `std.os.test` and
`std.fs.test`.
This is direct result of review comments left by andrewrk and
daurnimator. It makes sense to map `ENOTCAPABLE` into a more generic
`error.AccessDenied`.
This commit adds `error.NotCapable` enum value and makes sure that
every applicable WASI syscall that can return `ENOTCAPABLE` errno
remaps it to `error.NotCapable.
Linux deviates from POSIX and returns EISDIR while other POSIX systems return EPERM. To make all platforms consistent in their errors when calling deleteFile on a directory, we have to do a stat to translate EPERM (AccessDenied) to EISDIR (IsDir).
* `std.fs.Dir.Entry.Kind` is moved to `std.fs.File.Kind`
* `std.fs.File.Stat` gains the `kind` field, so performing a stat() on
a File now tells what kind of file it is. On Windows this only will
distinguish between directories and files.
* rework zig fmt logic so that in the case of opening a file and
discovering it to be a directory, it closes the file descriptor
before re-opening it with O_DIRECTORY, using fewer simultaneous open
file descriptors when walking a directory tree.
* rework zig fmt logic so that it pays attention to the kind of
directory entries, and when it sees a sub-directory it attempts to
open it as a directory rather than a file, reducing the number of
open() syscalls when walking a directory tree.
