=head1 NAME
File::Fu::File - a filename object
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use File::Fu;

=head2 dir_class
Return the corresponding dir class for this file object. Default:
L<File::Fu::Dir>.

=head2 is_dir
Always false for a file.

Always true for a file.

Returns a new object representing only the file part of the name.

} # end subroutine stringify definition
########################################################################
=head2 append
Append a string only to the filename part.
$file->append('.gz');
$file %= '.gz';
(Yeah... I tried to use .=, but overloading hates me.)
=cut
sub append {
my $self = shift;
my ($tail) = @_;

########################################################################

########################################################################
=head2 absolute
Get an absolute name (without checking the filesystem.)
my $abs = $file->absolute;
=cut
sub absolute {
my ($self) = shift;

########################################################################

=head1 Doing stuff
=head2 open
Open the file with $mode ('<', 'r', '>', 'w', etc) -- see L<IO::File>.
my $fh = $file->open($mode, $permissions);
Throws an error if anything goes wrong or if the resulting filehandle
happens to be a directory.
=cut
# TODO should probably have our own filehandle so we can close in the
# destructor and croak there too?
sub open :method {
my $self = shift;
my $fh = IO::File->new($self, @_) or croak("cannot open '$self' $!");
-d $fh and croak("$self is a directory");
return($fh);
} # end subroutine open definition
########################################################################
=head2 sysopen
Interface to the sysopen() builtin. The value of $mode is a text string
joined by '|' characters which must be valid O_* constants from Fcntl.
my $fh = $file->sysopen($mode, $perms);
=cut
sub sysopen :method {

or croak("error on sysopen '$self' - $!");
return($fh);
} # sysopen ############################################################
=head2 piped_open
Opens a read pipe. The file is appended to @command.
my $fh = $file->piped_open(@command);
Example: useless use of cat.
my $fh = $file->piped_open('cat');
This interface is deprecated (maybe) because it is limited to commands
which take the $file as the last argument. See run() for the way of the
future.
=cut
sub piped_open {
my $self = shift;
my (@command) = @_;
# TODO some way to decide where self goes in @command
push(@command, $self);
# TODO closing STDIN and such before the fork?
# TODO here is where we need our own filehandle object again
my $pid = open(my $fh, '-|', @command) or
croak("cannot exec '@command' $!");
return($fh);
} # end subroutine piped_open definition
########################################################################
=head2 run
Treat C<$file> as a program and execute a pipe open.
my $fh = $file->run(@args);
If called in void context, runs C<system()> with autodie semantics and
multi-arg form (suppresses shell interpolation.)
$file->run(@args);
No special treatment is made for whether $file is relative or not (the
underlying C<system()>/C<exec()> will search your path.) Use
File::Fu->which() to get an absolute path beforehand.
File::Fu->which('ls')->run('-l');
=cut

my $self = shift;

=head2 touch
Update the timestamp of a file (or create it.)
$file->touch;
=cut
sub touch {
my $self = shift;
if(-e $self) {
$self->utime(time);
}
else {
$self->open('>');

my $link = $file->symlink($linkname);
Note that symlinks are relative to where they live.

my $link = $file->basename->symlink($dir+'link');

A forced unlink (chmod the file if it is not writable.)

Write the file's contents. Returns the $file object for chaining.

name of the new file as an object.
