Method Detail

delete

public static void delete(File f)
                   throws IOException

Delete file or empty folder

Parameters:

f - File to be deleted

Throws:

IOException - if deletion of f fails. This may occur if f didn't exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to delete the same file.

delete

public static void delete(File f,
                          int options)
                   throws IOException

Delete file or folder

Parameters:

f - File to be deleted

options - deletion options, RECURSIVE for recursive deletion of a subtree, RETRY to retry when deletion failed. Retrying may help if the underlying file system doesn't allow deletion of files being read by another thread.

Throws:

IOException - if deletion of f fails. This may occur if f didn't exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to delete the same file. This exception is not thrown when IGNORE_ERRORS is set.

rename

public static void rename(File src,
                          File dst)
                   throws IOException

Rename a file or folder. If the rename fails and if we are running on a filesystem where it makes sense to repeat a failing rename then repeat the rename operation up to 9 times with 100ms sleep time between two calls. Furthermore if the destination exists and is directory hierarchy with only directories in it, the whole directory hierarchy will be deleted. If the target represents a non-empty directory structure, empty subdirectories within that structure may or may not be deleted even if the method fails. Furthermore if the destination exists and is a file then the file will be deleted and then the rename is retried.

This operation is not atomic.

Parameters:

src - the old File

dst - the new File

Throws:

IOException - if the rename has failed

Since:

3.0

mkdir

public static void mkdir(File d)
                  throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdir

public static void mkdir(File d,
                         boolean skipExisting)
                  throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

skipExisting - if true skip creation of the given directory if it already exists in the file system

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdirs

public static void mkdirs(File d)
                   throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

mkdirs

public static void mkdirs(File d,
                          boolean skipExisting)
                   throws IOException

Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories.

Parameters:

d - directory to be created

skipExisting - if true skip creation of the given directory if it already exists in the file system

Throws:

IOException - if creation of d fails. This may occur if d did exist when the method was called. This can therefore cause IOExceptions during race conditions when multiple concurrent threads all try to create the same directory.

createNewFile

public static void createNewFile(File f)
                          throws IOException

Atomically creates a new, empty file named by this abstract pathname if and only if a file with this name does not yet exist. The check for the existence of the file and the creation of the file if it does not exist are a single operation that is atomic with respect to all other filesystem activities that might affect the file.

Note: this method should not be used for file-locking, as the resulting protocol cannot be made to work reliably. The FileLock facility should be used instead.

Parameters:

f - the file to be created

Throws:

IOException - if the named file already exists or if an I/O error occurred

createSymLink

public static void createSymLink(File path,
                                 String target)
                          throws IOException

Create a symbolic link

Parameters:

path -

target -

Throws:

IOException

Since:

3.0

readSymLink

public static String readSymLink(File path)
                          throws IOException

Parameters:

path -

Returns:

the target of the symbolic link, or null if it is not a symbolic link

Throws:

IOException

Since:

3.0

createTempDir

public static File createTempDir(String prefix,
                                 String suffix,
                                 File dir)
                          throws IOException

Create a temporary directory.

Parameters:

prefix -

suffix -

dir - The parent dir, can be null to use system default temp dir.

Returns:

the temp dir created.

Throws:

IOException

Since:

3.4

relativize

public static String relativize(String base,
                                String other)

This will try and make a given path relative to another.

For example, if this is called with the two following paths :

 base = "c:\\Users\\jdoe\\eclipse\\git\\project"
 other = "c:\\Users\\jdoe\\eclipse\\git\\another_project\\pom.xml"
 

This will return "..\\another_project\\pom.xml".

This method uses File.separator to split the paths into segments.

Note that this will return the empty String if base and other are equal.

Parameters:

base - The path against which other should be relativized. This will be assumed to denote the path to a folder and not a file.

other - The path that will be made relative to base.

Returns:

A relative path that, when resolved against base, will yield the original other.
