3 | =head1 NAME |
4 | |
5 | File::Mkpath - create or remove a series of directories |
6 | |
7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
8 | |
9 | C<use File::Mkpath> |
10 | |
11 | C<mkpath(['/foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 0711);> |
12 | |
13 | C<rmtree(['foo/bar/baz', 'blurfl/quux'], 1, 1);> |
14 | |
15 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
16 | |
17 | The C<mkpath> function provides a convenient way to create directories, even if |
18 | your C<mkdir> kernel call won't create more than one level of directory at a |
19 | time. C<mkpath> takes three arguments: |
20 | |
21 | =over 4 |
22 | |
23 | =item * |
24 | |
25 | the name of the path to create, or a reference |
26 | to a list of paths to create, |
27 | |
28 | =item * |
29 | |
30 | a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<mkpath> |
31 | to print the name of each directory as it is created |
32 | (defaults to FALSE), and |
33 | |
34 | =item * |
35 | |
36 | the numeric mode to use when creating the directories |
37 | (defaults to 0777) |
38 | |
39 | =back |
40 | |
41 | It returns a list of all directories (including intermediates, determined using |
42 | the Unix '/' separator) created. |
43 | |
44 | Similarly, the C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a |
45 | subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>. |
46 | C<rmtree> takes three arguments: |
47 | |
48 | =over 4 |
49 | |
50 | =item * |
51 | |
52 | the root of the subtree to delete, or a reference to |
53 | a list of roots. All of the files and directories |
54 | below each root, as well as the roots themselves, |
55 | will be deleted. For the moment, C<rmtree> expects |
56 | Unix file specification syntax. |
57 | |
58 | =item * |
59 | |
60 | a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to |
61 | print a message each time it tries to delete a file, |
62 | giving the name of the file, and indicating whether |
63 | it's using C<rmdir> or C<unlink> to remove it. |
64 | (defaults to FALSE) |
65 | |
66 | =item * |
67 | |
68 | a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to |
69 | skip any files to which you do not have write access. |
70 | This will change in the future when a criterion for |
71 | 'delete permission' is settled. (defaults to FALSE) |
72 | |
73 | =back |
74 | |
75 | It returns the number of files successfully deleted. |
