    public class QFileInfo

extends QtJambiObject
implements java.lang.Cloneable

The QFileInfo class provides system-independent file information. QFileInfo provides information about a file's name and position (path) in the file system, its access rights and whether it is a directory or symbolic link, etc. The file's size and last modified/read times are also available. QFileInfo can also be used to obtain information about a Qt resource.

A QFileInfo can point to a file with either a relative or an absolute file path. Absolute file paths begin with the directory separator "/" (or with a drive specification on Windows). Relative file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the current working directory. An example of an absolute path is the string "/tmp/quartz". A relative path might look like "src/fatlib". You can use the function `isRelative()` to check whether a QFileInfo is using a relative or an absolute file path. You can call the function `makeAbsolute()` to convert a relative QFileInfo's path to an absolute path.

The file that the QFileInfo works on is set in the constructor or later with `setFile()`. Use `exists()` to see if the file exists and `size()` to get its size.

The file's type is obtained with `isFile()`, `isDir()` and `isSymLink()`. The `symLinkTarget()` function provides the name of the file the symlink points to.

On Unix (including Mac OS X), the symlink has the same `size()` has the file it points to, because Unix handles symlinks transparently; similarly, opening a symlink using `QFile` effectively opens the link's target. For example:

            QFileInfo info1 = new QFileInfo("/home/bob/bin/untabify");
            info1.isSymLink();          // returns true
            info1.absoluteFilePath();   // returns "/home/bob/bin/untabify"
            info1.size();               // returns 56201
            info1.symLinkTarget();      // returns "/opt/pretty++/bin/untabify"

            QFileInfo info2 = new QFileInfo(info1.symLinkTarget());
            info1.isSymLink();          // returns false
            info1.absoluteFilePath();   // returns "/opt/pretty++/bin/untabify"
            info1.size();               // returns 56201

On Windows, symlinks (shortcuts) are `.lnk` files. The reported `size()` is that of the symlink (not the link's target), and opening a symlink using `QFile` opens the `.lnk` file. For example:

            QFileInfo info1 = new QFileInfo("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Bob\\untabify.lnk");
            info1.isSymLink();          // returns true
            info1.absoluteFilePath();   // returns "C:/Documents and Settings/Bob/untabify.lnk"
            info1.size();               // returns 743
            info1.symLinkTarget();      // returns "C:/Pretty++/untabify"

            QFileInfo info2 = new QFileInfo(info1.symLinkTarget());
            info1.isSymLink();          // returns false
            info1.absoluteFilePath();   // returns "C:/Pretty++/untabify"
            info1.size();               // returns 63942

Elements of the file's name can be extracted with `path()` and `fileName()`. The `fileName()`'s parts can be extracted with `baseName()`, `suffix()` or `completeSuffix()`. QFileInfo objects to directories created by Qt classes will not have a trailing file separator. If you wish to use trailing separators in your own file info objects, just append one to the file name given to the constructors or `setFile()`.

The file's dates are returned by `created()`, `lastModified()` and `lastRead()`. Information about the file's access permissions is obtained with `isReadable()`, `isWritable()` and `isExecutable()`. The file's ownership is available from `owner()`, `ownerId()`, `group()` and `groupId()`. You can examine a file's permissions and ownership in a single statement using the `permission()` function.

## Performance Issues

Some of QFileInfo's functions query the file system, but for performance reasons, some functions only operate on the file name itself. For example: To return the absolute path of a relative file name, `absolutePath()` has to query the file system. The `path()` function, however, can work on the file name directly, and so it is faster.

Note: To speed up performance, QFileInfo caches information about the file.

To speed up performance, QFileInfo caches information about the file. Because files can be changed by other users or programs, or even by other parts of the same program, there is a function that refreshes the file information: `refresh()`. If you want to switch off a QFileInfo's caching and force it to access the file system every time you request information from it call setCaching(false).

  `QDir`, and `QFile`.

Constructor Detail

### QFileInfo

    public QFileInfo()

  Constructs an empty QFileInfo object.

  Note that an empty QFileInfo object contain no file reference.

See also:
  `setFile()`.

### QFileInfo

    public QFileInfo(QDir dir,
                     java.lang.String file)

  Constructs a new QFileInfo that gives information about the given `file` in the directory `dir`.

  If `dir` has a relative path, the QFileInfo will also have a relative path.

See also:
  `isRelative()`.

### QFileInfo

    public QFileInfo(QFile file)

  Constructs a new QFileInfo that gives information about file `file`.

  If the `file` has a relative path, the QFileInfo will also have a relative path.

See also:
  `isRelative()`.

### QFileInfo

    public QFileInfo(QFileInfo fileinfo)

  Constructs a new QFileInfo that is a copy of the given `fileinfo`.

### QFileInfo

    public QFileInfo(java.lang.String file)

  Constructs a new QFileInfo that gives information about the given file. The `file` can also include an absolute or relative path.

See also:
  `setFile()`, `isRelative()`, `QDir::setCurrent()`, and `QDir::isRelativePath()`.

Method Detail

### absoluteDir

    public final QDir absoluteDir()

  Returns the file's absolute path as a `QDir` object.

See also:
  `dir()`, `filePath()`, `fileName()`, and `isRelative()`.

### absoluteFilePath

    public final java.lang.String absoluteFilePath()

  Returns an absolute path including the file name.

  The absolute path name consists of the full path and the file name. On Unix this will always begin with the root, '/', directory. On Windows this will always begin 'D:/' where D is a drive letter, except for network shares that are not mapped to a drive letter, in which case the path will begin '//sharename/'.

  This function returns the same as `filePath()`, unless `isRelative()` is true. In contrast to `canonicalFilePath()`, symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements are not necessarily removed.

  If the QFileInfo is empty it returns `QDir::currentPath()`.

See also:
  `filePath()`, `canonicalFilePath()`, and `isRelative()`.

### absolutePath

    public final java.lang.String absolutePath()

  Returns a file's path absolute path. This doesn't include the file name.

  On Unix the absolute path will always begin with the root, '/', directory. On Windows this will always begin 'D:/' where D is a drive letter, except for network shares that are not mapped to a drive letter, in which case the path will begin '//sharename/'.

  This function returns the same as `filePath()`, unless `isRelative()` is true. In contrast to `canonicalPath()` symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements are not necessarily removed.

  Warning: If the QFileInfo object was created with an empty QString, the behavior of this function is undefined.

See also:
  `absoluteFilePath()`, `path()`, `canonicalPath()`, `fileName()`, and `isRelative()`.

### baseName

    public final java.lang.String baseName()

  Returns the base name of the file without the path.

  The base name consists of all characters in the file up to (but not including) the first '.' character.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              String base = fi.baseName();  // base = "archive"

  The base name of a file is computed equally on all platforms, independent of file naming conventions (e.g., ".bashrc" on Unix has an empty base name, and the suffix is "bashrc").

See also:
  `fileName()`, `suffix()`, `completeSuffix()`, and `completeBaseName()`.

### bundleName

    public final java.lang.String bundleName()

  Returns the name of the bundle.

  On Mac OS X this returns the proper localized name for a bundle if the path `isBundle()`. On all other platforms an empty QString is returned.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/Applications/Safari.app");
              String bundle = fi.bundleName();                // name = "Safari"

See also:
  `isBundle()`, `filePath()`, `baseName()`, and extension().

### caching

    public final boolean caching()

  Returns true if caching is enabled; otherwise returns false.

See also:
  `setCaching()`, and `refresh()`.

### canonicalFilePath

    public final java.lang.String canonicalFilePath()

  Returns the canonical path including the file name, i. . an absolute path without symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements.

  If the file does not exist, `canonicalFilePath()` returns an empty string.

See also:
  `filePath()`, `absoluteFilePath()`, and `dir()`.

### canonicalPath

    public final java.lang.String canonicalPath()

  Returns the file's path canonical path (excluding the file name), i. . an absolute path without symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements.

  If the file does not exist, `canonicalPath()` returns an empty string.

See also:
  `path()`, `absolutePath()`.

### completeBaseName

    public final java.lang.String completeBaseName()

  Returns the complete base name of the file without the path.

  The complete base name consists of all characters in the file up to (but not including) the last '.' character.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              String base = fi.completeBaseName();  // base = "archive.tar"

See also:
  `fileName()`, `suffix()`, `completeSuffix()`, and `baseName()`.

### completeSuffix

    public final java.lang.String completeSuffix()

  Returns the complete suffix of the file.

  The complete suffix consists of all characters in the file after (but not including) the first '.'.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              String ext = fi.completeSuffix();  // ext = "tar.gz"

See also:
  `fileName()`, `suffix()`, `baseName()`, and `completeBaseName()`.

### created

    public final QDateTime created()

  Returns the date and time when the file was created.

  On most Unix systems, this function returns the time of the last status change. A status change occurs when the file is created, but it also occurs whenever the user writes or sets inode information (for example, changing the file permissions).

  If neither creation time nor "last status change" time are not available, returns the same as `lastModified()`.

See also:
  `lastModified()`, and `lastRead()`.

### dir

    public final QDir dir()

  Returns the path of the object's parent directory as a `QDir` object.

  Note: The `QDir` returned always corresponds to the object's parent directory, even if the QFileInfo represents a directory.

  For each of the follwing, `dir()` returns a `QDir` for `"~/examples/191697"`.
  The following code example is written in c++.

          QFileInfo fileInfo1("~/examples/191697/.");
          QFileInfo fileInfo2("~/examples/191697/..");
          QFileInfo fileInfo3("~/examples/191697/main.cpp");

  For each of the follwing, `dir()` returns a `QDir` for `"."`.
  The following code example is written in c++.

          QFileInfo fileInfo4(".");
          QFileInfo fileInfo5("..");
          QFileInfo fileInfo6("main.cpp");

See also:
  dirPath(), `filePath()`, `fileName()`, `isRelative()`, and `absoluteDir()`.

### exists

    public final boolean exists()

  Returns true if the file exists; otherwise returns false.

### fileName

    public final java.lang.String fileName()

  Returns the name of the file, excluding the path.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              String name = fi.fileName();                // name = "archive.tar.gz"

See also:
  `isRelative()`, `filePath()`, `baseName()`, and extension().

### filePath

    public final java.lang.String filePath()

  Returns the file name, including the path (which may be absolute or relative).

See also:
  `absoluteFilePath()`, `canonicalFilePath()`, and `isRelative()`.

### group

    public final java.lang.String group()

  Returns the group of the file. On Windows, on systems where files do not have groups, or if an error occurs, an empty string is returned.

  This function can be time consuming under Unix (in the order of milliseconds).

See also:
  `groupId()`, `owner()`, and `ownerId()`.

### groupId

    public final int groupId()

  Returns the id of the group the file belongs to.

  On Windows and on systems where files do not have groups this function always returns (uint) -2.

See also:
  `group()`, `owner()`, and `ownerId()`.

### isAbsolute

    public final boolean isAbsolute()

  Returns true if the file path name is absolute, otherwise returns false if the path is relative.

See also:
  `isRelative()`.

### isBundle

    public final boolean isBundle()

  Returns true if this object points to a bundle or to a symbolic link to a bundle on Mac OS X; otherwise returns false.

See also:
  `isDir()`, `isSymLink()`, and `isFile()`.

### isDir

    public final boolean isDir()

  Returns true if this object points to a directory or to a symbolic link to a directory; otherwise returns false.

See also:
  `isFile()`, `isSymLink()`, and `isBundle()`.

### isExecutable

    public final boolean isExecutable()

  Returns true if the file is executable; otherwise returns false.

See also:
  `isReadable()`, `isWritable()`, and `permission()`.

### isFile

    public final boolean isFile()

  Returns true if this object points to a file or to a symbolic link to a file. Returns false if the object points to something which isn't a file, such as a directory.

See also:
  `isDir()`, `isSymLink()`, and `isBundle()`.

### isHidden

    public final boolean isHidden()

  Returns true if this is a `hidden' file; otherwise returns false.

  Note: This function returns true for the special entries "." and ".." on Unix, even though QDir::entryList threats them as shown.

### isReadable

    public final boolean isReadable()

  Returns true if the user can read the file; otherwise returns false.

See also:
  `isWritable()`, `isExecutable()`, and `permission()`.

### isRelative

    public final boolean isRelative()

  Returns true if the file path name is relative, otherwise returns false if the path is absolute (e. . under Unix a path is absolute if it begins with a "/").

See also:
  `isAbsolute()`.

### isRoot

    public final boolean isRoot()

  Returns true if the object points to a directory or to a symbolic link to a directory, and that directory is the root directory; otherwise returns false.

### isSymLink

    public final boolean isSymLink()

  Returns true if this object points to a symbolic link (or to a shortcut on Windows); otherwise returns false.

  On Unix (including Mac OS X), opening a symlink effectively opens the `link's target`. On Windows, it opens the `.lnk` file itself.

  Example:

              QFileInfo info = new QFileInfo(fileName);
              if (info.isSymLink())
                  fileName = info.symLinkTarget();

See also:
  `isFile()`, `isDir()`, and `symLinkTarget()`.

### isWritable

See also:
  `isReadable()`, `isExecutable()`, and `permission()`.

### lastModified

    public final QDateTime lastModified()

  Returns the date and time when the file was last modified.

See also:
  `created()`, and `lastRead()`.

### lastRead

    public final QDateTime lastRead()

  Returns the date and time when the file was last read (accessed).

  On platforms where this information is not available, returns the same as `lastModified()`.

See also:
  `created()`, and `lastModified()`.

### makeAbsolute

    public final boolean makeAbsolute()

  Converts the file's path to an absolute path if it is not already in that form. Returns true to indicate that the path was converted; otherwise returns false to indicate that the path was already absolute.

See also:
  `filePath()`, and `isRelative()`.

### owner

    public final java.lang.String owner()

  Returns the owner of the file. On systems where files do not have owners, or if an error occurs, an empty string is returned.

  This function can be time consuming under Unix (in the order of milliseconds).

See also:
  `ownerId()`, `group()`, and `groupId()`.

### ownerId

    public final int ownerId()

  Returns the id of the owner of the file.

  On Windows and on systems where files do not have owners this function returns ((uint) -2).

See also:
  `owner()`, `group()`, and `groupId()`.

### path

    public final java.lang.String path()

  Returns the file's path. This doesn't include the file name.

See also:
  `filePath()`, `absolutePath()`, `canonicalPath()`, `dir()`, `fileName()`, and `isRelative()`.

### permission

    public final boolean permission(QFile.Permission[] permissions)

### permission

    public final boolean permission(QFile.Permissions permissions)

  Tests for file permissions. The `permissions` argument can be several flags of type QFile::Permissions OR-ed together to check for permission combinations.

  On systems where files do not have permissions this function always returns true.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              QFile.Permissions permissions1
                  = new QFile.Permissions(QFile.Permission.WriteUser, QFile.Permission.ReadGroup);
              if (fi.permission(permissions1))
                  System.out.println("I can change the file; my group can read the file");
              QFile.Permissions permissions2
                  = new QFile.Permissions(QFile.Permission.WriteGroup, QFile.Permission.WriteOther);
              if (fi.permission(permissions2))
                  System.out.println("The group or others can change the file");

See also:
  `isReadable()`, `isWritable()`, and `isExecutable()`.

### permissions

    public final QFile.Permissions permissions()

  Returns the complete OR-ed together combination of QFile.:Permissions for the file.

### refresh

    public final void refresh()

  Refreshes the information about the file, i.e. reads in information from the file system the next time a cached property is fetched.

  Note: On Windows CE, there might be a delay for the file system driver to detect changes on the file.

### setCaching

    public final void setCaching(boolean on)

  If `enable` is true, enables caching of file information. If `enable` is false caching is disabled.

  When caching is enabled, QFileInfo reads the file information from the file system the first time it's needed, but generally not later.

  Caching is enabled by default.

See also:
  `refresh()`, and `caching()`.

### setFile

    public final void setFile(QDir dir,
                              java.lang.String file)

  Sets the file that the QFileInfo provides information about to `file` in directory `dir`.

  If `file` includes a relative path, the QFileInfo will also have a relative path.

See also:
  `isRelative()`.

### setFile

    public final void setFile(QFile file)

  Sets the file that the QFileInfo provides information about to `file`.

  If `file` includes a relative path, the QFileInfo will also have a relative path.

See also:
  `isRelative()`.

### setFile

    public final void setFile(java.lang.String file)

  Sets the file that the QFileInfo provides information about to `file`.

  The `file` can also include an absolute or relative file path. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator (e.g. "/" under Unix) or a drive specification (under Windows). Relative file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the current directory.

  Example:

          String absolute = "/local/bin";
          String relative = "local/bin";
          QFileInfo absFile = new QFileInfo(absolute);
          QFileInfo relFile = new QFileInfo(relative);

          QDir.setCurrent(QDir.rootPath());
          // absFile and relFile now point to the same file

          QDir.setCurrent("/tmp");
          // absFile now points to "/local/bin",
          // while relFile points to "/tmp/local/bin"

### size

    public final long size()

  Returns the file size in bytes. If the file does not exist or cannot be fetched, 0 is returned.

See also:
  `exists()`.

### suffix

    public final java.lang.String suffix()

  Returns the suffix of the file.

  The suffix consists of all characters in the file after (but not including) the last '.'.

  Example:

              QFileInfo fi = new QFileInfo("/tmp/archive.tar.gz");
              String ext = fi.suffix();  // ext = "gz"

  The suffix of a file is computed equally on all platforms, independent of file naming conventions (e.g., ".bashrc" on Unix has an empty base name, and the suffix is "bashrc").

See also:
  `fileName()`, `completeSuffix()`, `baseName()`, and `completeBaseName()`.

### symLinkTarget

    public final java.lang.String symLinkTarget()

  Returns the absolute path to the file or directory a symlink (or shortcut on Windows) points to, or a an empty string if the object isn't a symbolic link.

  This name may not represent an existing file; it is only a string. `QFileInfo::exists()` returns true if the symlink points to an existing file.

See also:
  `exists()`, `isSymLink()`, `isDir()`, and `isFile()`.

### clone

    public QFileInfo clone()

  This method is reimplemented for internal reasons

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `java.lang.Object`
