Detailed Description

Filesystem symlink.

Filesystem symlink wraps link management operations (create symlink, read symlink target, copy symlink, create hardlink).

Not thread-safe.

Examples: filesystem_symlink.cpp.

Definition at line 23 of file symlink.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Symlink() [1/4]

CppCommon::Symlink::Symlink ( )

inline

Initialize symbolic link with an empty path.

Definition at line 27 of file symlink.h.

◆ Symlink() [2/4]

CppCommon::Symlink::Symlink ( const Path & path )

inline

Initialize symbolic link with a given path.

Parameters

path	- Symbolic link path

Definition at line 32 of file symlink.h.

◆ Symlink() [3/4]

CppCommon::Symlink::Symlink ( const Symlink & )

default

◆ Symlink() [4/4]

CppCommon::Symlink::Symlink ( Symlink && )

default

◆ ~Symlink()

CppCommon::Symlink::~Symlink ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ CopySymlink()

static Symlink CppCommon::Symlink::CopySymlink	(	const Path &	src,
		const Path &	dst
	)

inlinestatic

Copy the current symlink to another destination path.

If the source path is a symlink then a new destination symlink will be created based on its target. Otherwise symlink will be created explicitly based on the source path.

Parameters

src	- Source path
dst	- Destination path

Returns: Copied symlink

Definition at line 79 of file symlink.h.

◆ CreateHardlink()

Path CppCommon::Symlink::CreateHardlink	(	const Path &	src,
		const Path &	dst
	)

static

Create a new hardlink.

Parameters

src	- Source path
dst	- Destination path

Returns: Created hardlink

Definition at line 168 of file symlink.cpp.

◆ CreateSymlink()

Symlink CppCommon::Symlink::CreateSymlink	(	const Path &	src,
		const Path &	dst
	)

static

Create a new symlink.

Parameters

src	- Source path
dst	- Destination path

Returns: Created symlink

Examples: filesystem_symlink.cpp.

Definition at line 142 of file symlink.cpp.

◆ IsSymlinkExists()

bool CppCommon::Symlink::IsSymlinkExists ( ) const

Is the symlink exists?

Definition at line 116 of file symlink.cpp.

◆ IsTargetExists()

bool CppCommon::Symlink::IsTargetExists ( ) const

inline

Is the target exists?

Definition at line 51 of file symlink.h.

◆ operator bool()

CppCommon::Symlink::operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicitnoexcept

Check if the symlink is present.

Definition at line 43 of file symlink.h.

◆ operator=() [1/3]

Symlink& CppCommon::Symlink::operator= ( const Path & path )

inline

Definition at line 37 of file symlink.h.

◆ operator=() [2/3]

Symlink& CppCommon::Symlink::operator= ( const Symlink & )

default

◆ operator=() [3/3]

Symlink& CppCommon::Symlink::operator= ( Symlink && )

default

◆ swap()

void CppCommon::Symlink::swap ( Symlink & symlink )

inlinenoexcept

Swap two instances.

Definition at line 11 of file symlink.inl.

◆ target()

Path CppCommon::Symlink::target ( ) const

Read symlink target path.

Examples: filesystem_symlink.cpp.

Definition at line 66 of file symlink.cpp.
