CZMQ Manual - CZMQ/4.0.2
Name
zdir - work with file-system directories
Synopsis
// This is a stable class, and may not change except for emergencies. It
// is provided in stable builds.
// Create a new directory item that loads in the full tree of the specified
// path, optionally located under some parent path. If parent is "-", then
// loads only the top-level directory, and does not use parent as a path.
CZMQ_EXPORT zdir_t *
zdir_new (const char *path, const char *parent);
// Destroy a directory tree and all children it contains.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_destroy (zdir_t **self_p);
// Return directory path
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
zdir_path (zdir_t *self);
// Return last modification time for directory.
CZMQ_EXPORT time_t
zdir_modified (zdir_t *self);
// Return total hierarchy size, in bytes of data contained in all files
// in the directory tree.
CZMQ_EXPORT off_t
zdir_cursize (zdir_t *self);
// Return directory count
CZMQ_EXPORT size_t
zdir_count (zdir_t *self);
// Returns a sorted list of zfile objects; Each entry in the list is a pointer
// to a zfile_t item already allocated in the zdir tree. Do not destroy the
// original zdir tree until you are done with this list.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done.
CZMQ_EXPORT zlist_t *
zdir_list (zdir_t *self);
// Remove directory, optionally including all files that it contains, at
// all levels. If force is false, will only remove the directory if empty.
// If force is true, will remove all files and all subdirectories.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_remove (zdir_t *self, bool force);
// Calculate differences between two versions of a directory tree.
// Returns a list of zdir_patch_t patches. Either older or newer may
// be null, indicating the directory is empty/absent. If alias is set,
// generates virtual filename (minus path, plus alias).
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done.
CZMQ_EXPORT zlist_t *
zdir_diff (zdir_t *older, zdir_t *newer, const char *alias);
// Return full contents of directory as a zdir_patch list.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done.
CZMQ_EXPORT zlist_t *
zdir_resync (zdir_t *self, const char *alias);
// Load directory cache; returns a hash table containing the SHA-1 digests
// of every file in the tree. The cache is saved between runs in .cache.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done.
CZMQ_EXPORT zhash_t *
zdir_cache (zdir_t *self);
// Print contents of directory to open stream
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_fprint (zdir_t *self, FILE *file, int indent);
// Print contents of directory to stdout
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_print (zdir_t *self, int indent);
// Create a new zdir_watch actor instance:
//
// zactor_t *watch = zactor_new (zdir_watch, NULL);
//
// Destroy zdir_watch instance:
//
// zactor_destroy (&watch);
//
// Enable verbose logging of commands and activity:
//
// zstr_send (watch, "VERBOSE");
//
// Subscribe to changes to a directory path:
//
// zsock_send (watch, "ss", "SUBSCRIBE", "directory_path");
//
// Unsubscribe from changes to a directory path:
//
// zsock_send (watch, "ss", "UNSUBSCRIBE", "directory_path");
//
// Receive directory changes:
// zsock_recv (watch, "sp", &path, &patches);
//
// // Delete the received data.
// free (path);
// zlist_destroy (&patches);
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_watch (zsock_t *pipe, void *unused);
// Self test of this class.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zdir_test (bool verbose);
Please add '@interface' section in './../src/zdir.c'.
Description
The zdir class gives access to the file system index. It will load a directory tree (a directory plus all child directories) into a zdir structure and then let you navigate that structure. It exists mainly to wrap non-portable OS functions to do this.
Please add @discuss section in ./../src/zdir.c.
Example
From zdir_test method
// need to create a file in the test directory we're watching
// in order to ensure the directory exists
