Description
Haskell Virtual FS -- generic support for real or virtual filesystem in Haskell Copyright (c) 2004-2005 John Goerzen, jgoerzen@complete.org The idea of this module is to provide virtualization of filesystem calls. In addition to the "real" system filesystem, you can also provide access to other, virtual, filesystems using the same set of calls. Examples of such virtual filesystems might include a remote FTP server, WebDAV server, a local Hashtable, a ConfigParser object, or any other data structure you can represent as a tree of named nodes containing strings. Each `HVFS` function takes a `HVFS` "handle" (`HVFS` instance) as its first parameter. If you wish to operate on the standard system filesystem, you can just use `SystemFS`. The MissingH.HVFS.IO.InstanceHelpers module contains some code to help you make your own HVFS instances. The `HVFSOpenable` class works together with the System.IO.HVIO module to provide a complete virtual filesystem and I/O model that allows you to open up virtual filesystem files and act upon them in a manner similar to standard Handles.

Implementation Classes / Types
class Show a => HVFS a where
The main HVFS class. Default implementations of these functions are provided: `vGetModificationTime` -- implemented in terms of `vGetFileStatus` `vRaiseError` `vDoesFileExist` -- implemented in terms of `vGetFileStatus` `vDoesDirectoryExist` -- implemented in terms of `vGetFileStatus` `vDoesExist` -- implemented in terms of `vGetSymbolicLinkStatus` `vGetSymbolicLinkStatus` -- set to call `vGetFileStatus`. Default implementations of all other functions will generate an isIllegalOperation error, since they are assumed to be un-implemented. You should always provide at least a `vGetFileStatus` call, and almost certainly several of the others. Most of these functions correspond to functions in System.Directory or System.Posix.Files. Please see detailed documentation on them there.
Methods
vGetCurrentDirectory :: a -> IO FilePath
vSetCurrentDirectory :: a -> FilePath -> IO ()
vGetDirectoryContents :: a -> FilePath -> IO [FilePath]
vDoesFileExist :: a -> FilePath -> IO Bool
vDoesDirectoryExist :: a -> FilePath -> IO Bool
vDoesExist :: a -> FilePath -> IO Bool
True if the file exists, regardless of what type it is. This is even True if the given path is a broken symlink.
vCreateDirectory :: a -> FilePath -> IO ()
vRemoveDirectory :: a -> FilePath -> IO ()
vRenameDirectory :: a -> FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()
vRemoveFile :: a -> FilePath -> IO ()
vRenameFile :: a -> FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()
vGetFileStatus :: a -> FilePath -> IO HVFSStatEncap
vGetSymbolicLinkStatus :: a -> FilePath -> IO HVFSStatEncap
vGetModificationTime :: a -> FilePath -> IO ClockTime
vRaiseError :: a -> IOErrorType -> String -> Maybe FilePath -> IO c
Raise an error relating to actions on this class.
vCreateSymbolicLink :: a -> FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()
vReadSymbolicLink :: a -> FilePath -> IO FilePath
vCreateLink :: a -> FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ()

class Show a => HVFSStat a where
Evaluating types of files and information about them. This corresponds to the System.Posix.Types.FileStatus type, and indeed, that is one instance of this class. Inplementators must, at minimum, implement `vIsDirectory` and `vIsRegularFile`. Default implementations of everything else are provided, returning reasonable values. A default implementation of this is not currently present on Windows.
Methods
vDeviceID :: a -> DeviceID
vFileID :: a -> FileID
vFileMode :: a -> FileMode
Refers to file permissions, NOT the st_mode field from stat(2)
vLinkCount :: a -> LinkCount
vFileOwner :: a -> UserID
vFileGroup :: a -> GroupID
vSpecialDeviceID :: a -> DeviceID
vFileSize :: a -> FileOffset
vAccessTime :: a -> EpochTime
vModificationTime :: a -> EpochTime
vStatusChangeTime :: a -> EpochTime
vIsBlockDevice :: a -> Bool
vIsCharacterDevice :: a -> Bool
vIsNamedPipe :: a -> Bool
vIsRegularFile :: a -> Bool
vIsDirectory :: a -> Bool
vIsSymbolicLink :: a -> Bool
vIsSocket :: a -> Bool

class HVFS a => HVFSOpenable a where
Types that can open a HVIO object should be instances of this class. You need only implement `vOpen`.
Methods
vOpen :: a -> FilePath -> IOMode -> IO HVFSOpenEncap
vReadFile :: a -> FilePath -> IO String
vWriteFile :: a -> FilePath -> String -> IO ()
vOpenBinaryFile :: a -> FilePath -> IOMode -> IO HVFSOpenEncap

data HVFSOpenEncap
Similar to `HVFSStatEncap`, but for `vOpen` result.
Constructors
forall a . HVIO a => HVFSOpenEncap a |
data HVFSStatEncap
Encapsulate a `HVFSStat` result. This is required due to Haskell typing restrictions. You can get at it with:
     case encap of
        HVFSStatEncap x -> -- now use x
Constructors
forall a . HVFSStat a => HVFSStatEncap a |
withStat :: forall b. HVFSStatEncap -> (forall a. HVFSStat a => a -> b) -> b
Convenience function for working with stat -- takes a stat result and a function that uses it, and returns the result. Here is an example from the HVFS source:
        vGetModificationTime fs fp =
           do s <- vGetFileStatus fs fp
              return $ epochToClockTime (withStat s vModificationTime)
See `epochToClockTime` for more information.
withOpen :: forall b. HVFSOpenEncap -> (forall a. HVIO a => a -> b) -> b
Similar to `withStat`, but for the `vOpen` result.

type FilePath = String
File and directory names are values of type `String`, whose precise meaning is operating system dependent. Files can be opened, yielding a handle which can then be used to operate on the contents of that file.
