Filesystem¶

isblockdev(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a block device, false otherwise.

ischardev(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a character device, false otherwise.

isdir(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a directory, false otherwise.

isexecutable(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if the current user has permission to execute path, false otherwise.

isfifo(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a FIFO, false otherwise.

isfile(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a regular file, false otherwise.

islink(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a symbolic link, false otherwise.

ispath(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a valid filesystem path, false otherwise.

isreadable(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if the current user has permission to read path, false otherwise.

issetgid(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path has the setgid flag set, false otherwise.

issetuid(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path has the setuid flag set, false otherwise.

issocket(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path is a socket, false otherwise.

issticky(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if path has the sticky bit set, false otherwise.

iswritable(path) → Bool¶

Returns true if the current user has permission to write to path, false otherwise.

homedir() → String¶

Return the current user’s home directory.

dirname(path::String) → String¶

Get the directory part of a path.

basename(path::String) → String¶

Get the file name part of a path.

@__FILE__() → String¶

@__FILE__ expands to a string with the absolute path and file name of the script being run. Returns nothing if run from a REPL or an empty string if evaluated by julia -e <expr>.

isabspath(path::String) → Bool¶

Determines whether a path is absolute (begins at the root directory).

isdirpath(path::String) → Bool¶

Determines whether a path refers to a directory (for example, ends with a path separator).

joinpath(parts...) → String¶

Join path components into a full path. If some argument is an absolute path, then prior components are dropped.

abspath(path::String) → String¶

Convert a path to an absolute path by adding the current directory if necessary.

normpath(path::String) → String¶

Normalize a path, removing ”.” and ”..” entries.

realpath(path::String) → String¶

Canonicalize a path by expanding symbolic links and removing ”.” and ”..” entries.

expanduser(path::String) → String¶

On Unix systems, replace a tilde character at the start of a path with the current user’s home directory.

splitdir(path::String) -> (String, String)¶

Split a path into a tuple of the directory name and file name.

splitdrive(path::String) -> (String, String)¶

On Windows, split a path into the drive letter part and the path part. On Unix systems, the first component is always the empty string.

splitext(path::String) -> (String, String)¶

If the last component of a path contains a dot, split the path into everything before the dot and everything including and after the dot. Otherwise, return a tuple of the argument unmodified and the empty string.

tempname()¶

Generate a unique temporary filename.

tempdir()¶

Obtain the path of a temporary directory.

mktemp()¶

Returns (path, io), where path is the path of a new temporary file and io is an open file object for this path.

mktempdir()¶

Create a temporary directory and return its path.
