Function Documentation

◆ copyFile()

bool mrpt::system::copyFile	(	const std::string &	sourceFile,
		const std::string &	targetFile,
		std::string *	outErrStr = `NULL`,
		bool	copyAttribs = `true`
	)

Copies file sourceFile to targetFile.

If the target file exists, it will be overwritten. If the target file cannot be overwritten, the function first tries to change its permissions/attributes and retries opening it for write.

Note: Only for Windows: After a successful copy, if copyAttribs is true, the attributes of the source file are also copied. Note that not all attributes can be copied: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365535.aspx

Returns: true on success, false on any error, whose description can be optionally get in outErrStr

◆ createDirectory()

bool mrpt::system::createDirectory ( const std::string & dirName )

Creates a directory.

Returns: Returns false on any error, true on directory created or already existed.

◆ deleteFile()

bool mrpt::system::deleteFile ( const std::string & fileName )

Deletes a single file.

For multiple files see deleteFiles

Returns: Returns false on any error, true on everything OK.

◆ deleteFiles()

void mrpt::system::deleteFiles ( const std::string & s )

Delete one or more files, especified by the (optional) path and the file name (including '?' or '*') - Use forward slash ('/') for directories for compatibility between Windows and Linux, since they will be internally traslated into backward slashes ('\') if MRPT is compiled under Windows.

◆ deleteFilesInDirectory()

bool mrpt::system::deleteFilesInDirectory	(	const std::string &	s,
		bool	deleteDirectoryAsWell = `false`
	)

Delete all the files in a given directory (nothing done if directory does not exists, or path is a file).

Returns: true on success

◆ extractFileDirectory()

string mrpt::system::extractFileDirectory ( const std::string & filePath )

Extract the whole path (the directory) of a filename from a complete path plus name plus extension.

This function works for either "/" or "\" directory separators.

◆ extractFileExtension()

string mrpt::system::extractFileExtension	(	const std::string &	filePath,
		bool	ignore_gz = `false`
	)

Extract the extension of a filename.

For example, for "dummy.cpp", it will return "cpp". If "ignore_gz" is true, the second extension will be returned if the file name ends in ".gz", for example, for "foo.map.gz", this will return "map".
