ocaml-fileutils project
ocaml-fileutils is a library to provide pure OCaml functions to manipulate real file and filename.
Requirements of the project:
pure OCaml
real file functions inspired from GNU fileutils
only Win32 and POSIX compatible
This version features the following functions, inspired from GNU fileutils:
cp: copy files
mv: rename files
rm: remove files and directories
test: check file types and compare values
find: find files that match certain criteria
mkdir: create directory and its parents
ls: list content of a directory
touch: change file timestamps
which: locate a command
readlink: resolve symlink
du: compute disk usage
stat: abstract of Unix.stat
cmp: compare files
It also contains function to manipulate filename, using different OS scheme:
Supported OS:
Win32
Unix
MacOS
Cygwin
Functions:
Compare: is_subdir, is_updir, compare
Transform: make_absolute, make_relative, reduce
Extension: chop_extension, check_extension
This is a major rewrite to simplify module structure. Now the most useful functions are directly accessible with a simple "open", no more nested module required.
It also improve speed for find on Unix. At least on this system, FileUtil.find only takes 2x time of "find" command (idea to improve this are welcome).
This version is not compatible with former version, but changes should be restricted to module name change. See CHANGELOG for more details.
Add some features:
Functions: cmp, du, stat, readlink
Find takes a function as argument: more flexible and allow processing huge number of file.
Avoid recursion when processing symlink.
