NAME

File::Information::Link - generic module for extracting information from filesystems

VERSION

version v0.06

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use File::Information;
my File::Information $instance = File::Information->new(%config);
my File::Information::Link $link = $instance->for_link($path);
            
          

Note: This package inherits from File::Information::Base.

This module represents a hardlink on a filesystem. A hardlink is is basically a name for an inode. Each inode can have zero or more hardlinks. (The exact limits are subject to filesystem limitations.) See also File::Information::Inode.

METHODS

inode

            

              
              
my File::Information::Inode $inode = $link->inode;
            
          

Provide the inode object for the current link.

deep

            

              
              
my File::Information::Deep $deep = $link->deep;
            
          

Provides a deep inspection object. This allows access to data internal to the file.

See also File::Information::Deep.

filesystem

            

              
              
my File::Information::Filesystem $filesystem = $link->filesystem;
            
          

Proxy for "filesystem" in File::Information::Inode.

tagpool

            

              
              
my File::Information::Tagpool $tagpool = $link->tagpool;
# or:
my                            @tagpool = $link->tagpool;
            
          

Proxy for "tagpool" in File::Information::Inode.
