src/pmc/file.pmc - File PMC

DESCRIPTION

File is a singleton class which provides access to File functions.

void *get_pointer()
void set_pointer(void *ptr): These two functions are part of the singleton creation interface. For more information see src/pmc.c.
INTVAL exists(STRING *file): Returns a true value (1) if the supplied file or directory exists.
INTVAL is_dir(STRING *path): Returns a true value (1) if the supplied path is a directory.
INTVAL is_file(STRING *path): Returns a true value (1) if the supplied path is a plain file.
INTVAL is_link(STRING *path): Returns a true value (1) if the supplied path is a link.
void copy(STRING *from, STRING *to): Copy the contents from file represented by path from to the path to.; Uses the "work everywhere method". It is good enough to start with.; NOTE: I'm sure that there should be more efficient ways to do this. Be free to change or give me hints on how to change it. -- ambs
void rename(STRING *from, STRING *to): Rename a file from to the path to.
