Return values

0	File contents are equal or p1 and p2 are the same file.
>0	Position of the first different character in the files.
<0	Comparison not possible, e.g. file does not exist or path is a directory.

Exceptions

ios_base::failure exception if cannot open the file, or try to access character after the end of file, or no character were written or error was set in ifstream.

◆ compareFiles() [2/2]

std::int64_t a_util::filesystem::compareFiles	(	const Path &	p1,
		const Path &	p2,
		DiffOptions	options
	)

Compare content of two files.

Parameters

[in]	options	Options controlling the behavior of the diff operation. Supported options: DiffOptions::none Files are bitwise equal
[in]	p1	Path to first file.
[in]	p2	Path to second file.

Return values

0	File contents are equal or p1 and p2 are the same file.
>0	Position of the first different character in the files.
<0	Comparison not possible, e.g. file does not exist or path is a directory.

Exceptions

ios_base::failure exception if cannot open the file, or try to access character after the end of file, or no character were written or error was set in ifstream.

◆ createDirectory()

bool a_util::filesystem::createDirectory ( const Path & path )

Create a new directory on the filesystem.

Note: All given non-existing subdirectories are created as well

Parameters

[in] path Path to the directory to create

Returns: true if the directory was created or already exists, false otherwise

◆ enumDirectory()

Error a_util::filesystem::enumDirectory	(	const Path &	dir_path,
		std::vector< Path > &	vec_entries,
		std::int32_t	flags = `ED_FILES\|ED_DIRECTORIES`
	)

List all entries in a directory.

Parameters

[in]	dir_path	Path to the directory to list the entries from
[out]	vec_entries	All entries listed in the directory
[in]	flags	EnumDirFlags filtering what to list in the directory

Return values

INVALID_PATH	The path does not exist or is not a directory
GENERAL_FAILURE	Some unknown error while listing entries in the directory occurred
OK	Entries listed successfully, with the list being copied to `vec_entries`

◆ exists()

bool a_util::filesystem::exists ( const Path & path )

Check whether the file or directory exists on the filesystem.

Parameters

[in] path Path to the file or directory

Returns: true if the path exists, false otherwise

◆ getTempDirectory()

Path a_util::filesystem::getTempDirectory ( )

Retrieve path to the temp directory of the system.

Returns: Temp directory of the system

◆ getWorkingDirectory()

Path getWorkingDirectory ( )

Retrieve path to the working directory of the current process.

Returns: Current working directory path

◆ isDirectory()

bool a_util::filesystem::isDirectory ( const Path & dir_path )

Check whether the path points to a directory on the filesystem.

Parameters

[in] dir_path Path to the directory to check

Returns: true if the path points to a directory, false otherwise

◆ isFile()

bool a_util::filesystem::isFile ( const Path & file_path )

Check whether the path points to a file on the filesystem.

Parameters

Returns: true if the path points to a file, false otherwise

◆ operator!=()

bool a_util::filesystem::operator!=	(	const Path &	lhs,
		const Path &	rhs

GENERAL_FAILURE	Seeking the file did not succeed
IO_ERROR	Some I/O error occurred while reading the file
OK	Content successfully read and copied to out parameter `content`

◆ readTextLines()
