Class Method Detail

def self.executable?(path : Path | String) : Bool #

Returns true if path is executable by the real user id of this process else returns false.

File.write("foo", "foo")
File::Info.executable?("foo") # => false

This method returns the readable property as reported by the file system which provides no indication of whether Process.execute would be a valid operation because it applies to all file types, including directories (which typically are executable to signal it's allowed to list their contents).

def self.readable?(path : Path | String) : Bool #

Returns true if path is readable by the real user id of this process else returns false.

File.write("foo", "foo")
File::Info.readable?("foo") # => true

This method returns the readable property as reported by the file system which provides no indication of whether File.read would be a valid operation because it applies to all file types, including directories.


[View source]
def self.writable?(path : Path | String) : Bool #

Returns true if path is writable by the real user id of this process else returns false.

File.write("foo", "foo")
File::Info.writable?("foo") # => true

This method returns the readable property as reported by the file system which provides no indication of whether File.write would be a valid operation because it applies to all file types, including directories.

Instance Method Detail

def directory? #

Returns true if this Info represents a directory. Shortcut for type.directory?.


[View source]
def file? #

Returns true if this Info represents a standard file. Shortcut for type.file?.


[View source]
def flags : Flags #

The special flags this file has set.


[View source]
def group_id : String #

The group ID that the file belongs to.


[View source]
def modification_time : Time #

The last time this file was modified.


[View source]
def owner_id : String #

The user ID that the file belongs to.


[View source]
def permissions : Permissions #

The permissions of the file.


[View source]
def same_file?(other : self) : Bool #

Returns true if this Info and other are of the same file.

On Unix-like systems, this compares device and inode fields, and will compare equal for hard linked files.


[View source]
def size : Int64 #

Size of the file, in bytes.


[View source]
def symlink? #

Returns true if this Info represents a symbolic link to another file. Shortcut for type.symlink?.


[View source]
def type : Type #

The type of the file.
