23 =head1 NAME
25 Autom4te::FileUtils - handling files
27 =head1 SYNOPSIS
29 use Autom4te::FileUtils
31 =head1 DESCRIPTION
33 This perl module provides various general purpose file handling functions.
35 =cut
37 use strict;
38 use Exporter;
39 use File::stat;
40 use IO::File;
41 use Autom4te::Channels;
42 use Autom4te::ChannelDefs;
44 use vars qw (@ISA @EXPORT);
46 @ISA = qw (Exporter);
47 @EXPORT = qw (&open_quote &contents
48 &find_file &mtime
49 &update_file &up_to_date_p
50 &xsystem &xsystem_hint &xqx
51 &dir_has_case_matching_file &reset_dir_cache
52 &set_dir_cache_file);
55 =item C<open_quote ($file_name)>
57 Quote C<$file_name> for open.
59 =cut
61 # $FILE_NAME
62 # open_quote ($FILE_NAME)
63 # -----------------------
64 # If the string $S is a well-behaved file name, simply return it.
65 # If it starts with white space, prepend `./', if it ends with
66 # white space, add `\0'. Return the new string.

74 if ($s =~ m/\s$/)
76 $s = "$s\0";
78 return $s;
81 =item C<find_file ($file_name, @include)>
83 Return the first path for a C<$file_name> in the C<include>s.
85 We match exactly the behavior of GNU M4: first look in the current
86 directory (which includes the case of absolute file names), and then,
87 if the file name is not absolute, look in C<@include>.
89 If the file is flagged as optional (ends with C<?>), then return undef
90 if absent, otherwise exit with error.

124 =item C<mtime ($file)>
126 Return the mtime of C<$file>. Missing files, or C<-> standing for
127 C<STDIN> or C<STDOUT> are ``obsolete'', i.e., as old as possible.

150 Rename C<$from> as C<$to>, preserving C<$to> timestamp if it has not
151 changed, unless C<$force> is true (defaults to false). Recognize
152 C<$to> = C<-> standing for C<STDIN>. C<$from> is always

238 Display an error message for C<$command>, based on the content of
239 C<$?> and C<$!>. Be quiet if the command exited normally
240 with C<$expected_exit_code>. If C<$hint> is given, display that as well

374 We need to be cautious on case-insensitive case-preserving file
375 systems (e.g. Mac OS X's HFS+). On such systems C<-f 'Foo'> and C<-f
376 'foO'> answer the same thing. Hence if a package distributes its own
377 F<CHANGELOG> file, but has no F<ChangeLog> file, automake would still
378 try to distribute F<ChangeLog> (because it thinks it exists) in
379 addition to F<CHANGELOG>, although it is impossible for these two
380 files to be in the same directory (the two file names designate the
381 same file).
