=head2 clonedo
$clone = $self->clonedo($action, @args);
=cut
sub clonedo {
my $self = shift;
my ($action, $arg, $rev) = @_;
#carp("clonedo $action", $rev ? ' backwards' : '');

=head2 r w x o R W X O e z s f d l p S b c t u g k T B M A C
See perldoc -f -x
=cut

=head1 File::Spec stuff
This needs to be redone.
=cut
use File::Spec; # GRR
=head2 is_absolute
=cut
sub is_absolute {
# XXX this is immutable, no?
File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($_[0]->stringify);
}
=head2 relative
Get a relative name.
my $rel = $abs->relative;
Also, with optional relative-to directory:
my $rel = $abs->relative($to);
=cut
sub relative {
my $self = shift;
my $base = shift;
return $self->new(File::Spec->abs2rel($self->stringify,
defined($base) ? "$base" : ()
));
}
=head2 relative_to
Same as relative(), but requires the $dir argument.
my $rel = $abs->relative_to($dir);
=cut
sub relative_to {
my $self = shift;
my $base = shift or croak('relative_to() requires a $dir');
return $self->relative($base);
}
=head2 resolve
Fully resolve any symlinks;
my $path = $path->resolve;
=cut
sub resolve {
my $self = shift;
while(1) {
return $self unless($self->l);
my $to = $self->readlink;
return $to if($to->is_absolute);
$self = $self->new($self->dirname . $to);
}
} # end subroutine resolve definition
########################################################################
=head2 relative_symlink
Where $path and $linkname are both relative to the current directory.
$path->relative_symlink($linkname);
=cut
sub relative_symlink {
my $self = shift;
my ($link) = @_;
my $rel = $self->relative($self->new($link)->dirname);
return($rel->symlink($link));
} # end subroutine relative_symlink definition
########################################################################
=head2 utime
Update the file timestamps.
$file->utime($atime, $mtime);
Optionally, set both to the same time.
$file->utime($time);
Also see touch().
=cut
sub utime {
my $self = shift;
@_ or croak("not enough arguments to utime()");
my $at = shift;
my $mt = @_ ? shift(@_) : $at;
if($self->is_dir) {
$self = $self->bare;
}
utime($at, $mt, $self) or croak("cannot utime '$self' $!");
} # end subroutine utime definition
########################################################################
=head2 chmod
$path->chmod($mode);
=cut
sub chmod :method {
my $self = shift;
my ($mode) = @_;
chmod($mode, "$self") or croak("cannot chmod '$self' $!");
} # end subroutine chmod definition
########################################################################
=head2 rename
Calls the builtin rename() on the $path and returns a new object with
that name.
$path = $path->rename($newname);
=cut
sub rename :method {
my $self = shift;
my ($name) = @_;
rename($self, $name) or
croak("cannot rename '$self' to '$name' $!");
return($self->new($name));
} # end subroutine rename definition
########################################################################
=head1 Stat Object
The stat() and lstat() methods both return a File::stat object.
=head2 stat
my $st = $obj->stat;
=cut
sub stat {
my $self = shift;
my $st = File::stat::stat("$self") or
croak("cannot stat '$self' $!");
return($st);
} # end subroutine stat definition
########################################################################
=head2 lstat
Same as stat, but does not dereference symlinks.
my $st = $obj->lstat;
=cut
sub lstat {
my $self = shift;
if($self->is_dir and $self->l) {
$self = $self->bare;
}
my $st = File::stat::lstat("$self") or
croak("cannot lstat '$self' $!");
return($st);
} # end subroutine lstat definition
########################################################################
=head2 is_same
Returns true if the two paths are the same. This is by string equality,
then (if both paths exist) by device+inode equality.
$bool = $path->is_same($other);
=cut
sub is_same {
my $self = shift;
my ($other) = @_;
unless(ref $other) {
my $proto = ($self->is_file and $other =~ m#/$#) ?
$self->dir_class : $self;
$other = $proto->new($other);
}
return(1) if($self eq $other);
return(0) if($self->is_dir != $other->is_dir);
my $n = 0;
# TODO just check absolutely?
# this currently probably misses non-existent files where the dirname
# resolves to the same location.
my ($s1, $s2) = map({eval {$_->stat}} $self, $other);
return(0) unless($s1 and $s2);
return(
$s1->dev eq $s2->dev and
$s1->ino eq $s2->ino
);
} # end subroutine is_same definition
