Functions

cacheHomeDir DirPath cacheHomeDir(): Get path to the default cache (home) directory. See: XDG_CACHE_HOME See: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/
copyRecurse void copyRecurse(const(char)[] from, const(char)[] to, PreserveAttributes preserve)
void copyRecurse(DirPath from, DirPath to, PreserveAttributes preserve): Copy directory from to to recursively.
dirEntries void dirEntries(DirPath root, ScanFlags scanFlags, ScanFlags.Depth depth): Directory Scanning Flags|Options.
dirEntries void dirEntries(char[] root, ScanFlags scanFlags, ScanFlags.Depth depth): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
findExecutable FilePath findExecutable(FileName a, const(char)[] pathVariableName): Find path for a (or FilePath.init if not found) in pathVariableName. TODO: Add caching of result and detect changes via inotify.
findFileInPath FilePath findFileInPath(FileName a, const(char)[] pathVariableName, bool onlyExecutable): Find path for a (or FilePath.init if not found) in pathVariableName. TODO: Add caching of result and detect changes via inotify.
homeDir DirPath homeDir(): Get path to home directory.
matchFirst typeof(FileName.str) matchFirst(FileName input, PNode node): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
rawReadZ immutable(void)[] rawReadZ(FilePath path)
immutable(void)[] rawReadZ(File file): Read file path into raw array with one extra terminating zero byte.
removeIfExists bool removeIfExists(const(char)[] name): Variant of std.file.remove() that returns status instead of throwing.
rmdirRecurseForced void rmdirRecurseForced(DirPath path, bool followSymlink)
void rmdirRecurseForced(char[] path, bool followSymlink)
void rmdirRecurseForced(DirEntry de, bool followSymlink): Identical to std.file.rmdirRecurse on POSIX. On Windows it removes read-only bits before deleting. TODO: Integrate into Phobos as rmdirRecurse(bool forced). TODO: Make a non-throwing version bool tryRmdirRecurse(bool forced).
tempDir DirPath tempDir(): Get path to default temporary directory.
tempSubFilePath string tempSubFilePath(string prefix, string extension): Returns the path to a new (unique) temporary file under tempDir.
tempfile int tempfile(char[] namePrefix): Create a new temporary file starting with ($D namePrefix) and ending with 6 randomly defined characters.
temptree char* temptree(char* name_x, char* template_): Create a New Temporary Directory Tree.

Static functions

fileExtension PNode fileExtension(string s): Get pattern that matches a file name ending with '.'~s.
