=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head1 FUNCTIONS
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
=head2 file_exists
Usage:
file_exists($path) => BOOL
This routine is just like the B<-e> test, except that it assume symlinks with
non-existent target as existing. If C<sym> is a symlink to a non-existing
target:
-e "sym" # false, Perl performs stat() which follows symlink
but:
-l "sym" # true, Perl performs lstat()
-e _ # false
This function performs the following test:
!(-l "sym") && (-e _) || (-l _)
Which one should you use: C<-e> or C<file_exists>? It depends on whether you
want to consider a broken symlink as "existing" or not. Sometimes one is more
appropriate than the other. If you use C<-e>, your application might overwrite a
(temporarily) broken symlink; on the other hand if you use C<file_exists>, your
application will see a file as existing but gets confused when it cannot open
it.
=head2 l_abs_path
Usage:
l_abs_path($path) => STR
Just like Cwd::abs_path(), except that it will not follow symlink if $path is
symlink (but it will follow symlinks for the parent paths).
Example:
use Cwd qw(getcwd abs_path);
say getcwd(); # /home/steven
# s is a symlink to /tmp/foo
say abs_path("s"); # /tmp/foo
say l_abs_path("s"); # /home/steven/s
# s2 is a symlink to /tmp
say abs_path("s2/foo"); # /tmp/foo
say l_abs_path("s2/foo"); # /tmp/foo
Mnemonic: l_abs_path -> abs_path is analogous to lstat -> stat.
Note: currently uses hardcoded C</> as path separator.
=head2 dir_empty
Usage:
dir_empty($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and is empty.
This should be trivial but alas it is not. C<-s> always returns true (in other
words, C<-z> always returns false) for a directory.
To test that a directory is C<not> empty, use L</dir_not_empty> (or its alias
L</dir_has_entries>).
=head2 dir_not_empty
Usage:
dir_not_empty($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and is not empty (has entries other than C<.>
and C<..>).
To test that a directory is empty, use L</dir_empty>.
=head2 dir_has_entries
Alias for L</dir_not_empty>.
=head2 dir_has_files
Usage:
dir_has_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain files in it. A
plain file is one that passes Perl's C<-f> operator. A symlink to a plain file
counts as a plain file. Non-plain files include named pipes, Unix sockets, and
block/character special files.
=head2 dir_has_dot_files
Usage:
dir_has_dot_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain dot files in it.
See L</dir_has_files> for the definition of plain files. Dot files a.k.a. hidden
files are files with names beginning with a dot.
=head2 dir_has_non_dot_files
Usage:
dir_has_non_dot_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain non-dot files in
it. See L</dir_has_dot_files> for the definitions. =head2 dir_has_subdirs
=head2 dir_has_subdirs
Usage:
dir_has_subdirs($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more subdirectories in it. A
symlink to a directory does I<NOT> count as subdirectory.
=head2 dir_has_non_subdirs
Usage:
dir_has_non_subdirs($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more non-subdirectories in it.
A symlink to a directory does I<NOT> count as subdirectory and thus counts as a
non-subdirectory.
=head2 dir_has_dot_subdirs
Usage:
dir_has_dot_subdirs($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more dot subdirectories (i.e.
subdirectories with names beginning with a dot) in it. A symlink to a directory
does I<NOT> count as subdirectory.
=head2 dir_has_non_dot_subdirs
Usage:
dir_has_non_dot_subdirs($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more non-dot subdirectories
(i.e. subdirectories with names not beginning with a dot) in it. A symlink to a
directory does I<NOT> count as subdirectory.
=head2 dir_only_has_files
Usage:
dir_only_has_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain files in it *and*
does not have anything else. See L</dir_has_files> for the definition of plain
files.
=head2 dir_only_has_dot_files
Usage:
dir_only_has_dot_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain dot files in it
*and* does not have anything else. See L</dir_has_files> for the definition of
plain files.
=head2 dir_only_has_non_dot_files
Usage:
dir_only_has_non_dot_files($dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain non-dot files in it
*and* does not have anything else. See L</dir_has_files> for the definition of
plain files.
=head2 dir_only_has_subdirs
Usage:
dir_only_has_subdirs([ \%opts, ] $dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more subdirectories in it
*and* does not have anything else.
=head2 dir_only_has_dot_subdirs
Usage:
dir_only_has_dot_subdirs([ \%opts, ] $dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more dot subdirectories in it
*and* does not have anything else.
=head2 dir_only_has_non_dot_subdirs
Usage:
dir_only_has_non_dot_subdirs([ \%opts, ] $dir) => BOOL
Will return true if C<$dir> exists and has one or more plain non-dot
subdirectories in it *and* does not have anything else.
=head2 get_dir_entries
Usage:
my @entries = get_dir_entries([ \%opts, ] [ $dir ]);
Get all entries of a directory specified by C<$dir> (or the current dir if
unspecified), including dotfiles but excluding "." and "..". Dies if directory
does not exist or cannot be read.
Basically a shortcut for something like:
my @entries = do { opendir my $dh, $dir; grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..' } readdir $dh };
=head2 get_dir_dot_entries
Usage:
my @dot_entries = get_dir_dot_entries([ \%opts, ] [ $dir ]);

unspecified), excluding "." and "..". Dies if directory does not exist or cannot
be read.
Basically a shortcut for something like:
my @dot_entries = do { opendir my $dh, $dir; grep { $_ ne '.' && $_ ne '..' && /\A\./ } readdir $dh };
=head2 get_dir_files
Usage:
my @filenames = get_dir_files([ \%opts, ] [ $dir ]);

current dir if unspecified), including dotfiles but excluding "." and "..". See
L</dir_has_files> for definition of "plain files". Dies if directory does not
exist or cannot be read.

For checking if some path exists, is a plain file, and is empty (content is
zero-length), you can simply use the C<-s> or C<-z> filetest operator.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
