Enum FileSystem

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<FileSystem>

org.apache.commons.io.FileSystem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<FileSystem>

public enum FileSystem
extends Enum<FileSystem>

Abstracts an OS' file system details, currently supporting the single use case of converting a file name String to a legal file name with toLegalFileName(String, char).

The starting point of any operation is getCurrent() which gets you the enum for the file system that matches the OS hosting the running JVM.

Since:

2.7

Enum Constant Detail

GENERIC

public static final FileSystem GENERIC

Generic file system.

LINUX

public static final FileSystem LINUX

Linux file system.

MAC_OSX

public static final FileSystem MAC_OSX

MacOS file system.

WINDOWS

public static final FileSystem WINDOWS

Windows file system.

Method Detail

values

public static FileSystem[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (FileSystem c : FileSystem.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static FileSystem valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getCurrent

public static FileSystem getCurrent()

Gets the current file system.

Returns:

the current file system

getIllegalFileNameChars

public char[] getIllegalFileNameChars()

Gets a cloned copy of the illegal characters for this file system.

Returns:

the illegal characters for this file system.

getMaxFileNameLength

public int getMaxFileNameLength()

Gets the maximum length for file names. The file name does not include folders.

Returns:

the maximum length for file names.

getMaxPathLength

public int getMaxPathLength()

Gets the maximum length of the path to a file. This can include folders.

Returns:

the maximum length of the path to a file.

getReservedFileNames

public String[] getReservedFileNames()

Gets a cloned copy of the reserved file names.

Returns:

the reserved file names.

isCasePreserving

public boolean isCasePreserving()

Whether this file system preserves case.

Returns:

Whether this file system preserves case.

isCaseSensitive

public boolean isCaseSensitive()

Whether this file system is case-sensitive.

Returns:

Whether this file system is case-sensitive.

isLegalFileName

public boolean isLegalFileName(CharSequence candidate)

Checks if a candidate file name (without a path) such as "filename.ext" or "filename" is a potentially legal file name. If the file name length exceeds getMaxFileNameLength(), or if it contains an illegal character then the check fails.

Parameters:

candidate - a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename"

Returns:

true if the candidate name is legal

isReservedFileName

public boolean isReservedFileName(CharSequence candidate)

Returns whether the given string is a reserved file name.

Parameters:

candidate - the string to test

Returns:

true if the given string is a reserved file name.

toLegalFileName

public String toLegalFileName(String candidate,
                              char replacement)

Converts a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename" to a legal file name. Illegal characters in the candidate name are replaced by the replacement character. If the file name length exceeds getMaxFileNameLength(), then the name is truncated to getMaxFileNameLength().

Parameters:

candidate - a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename"

replacement - Illegal characters in the candidate name are replaced by this character

Returns:

a String without illegal characters
