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. +<p> A TQFileInfo 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 <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>() to +check whether a TQFileInfo is using a relative or an absolute file +path. You can call the function <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>() to convert a +relative TQFileInfo's path to an absolute path. +<p> The file that the TQFileInfo works on is set in the constructor or +later with <a href="#setFile">setFile</a>(). Use <a href="#exists">exists</a>() to see if the file exists and +<a href="#size">size</a>() to get its size. +<p> To speed up performance, TQFileInfo 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: <a href="#refresh">refresh</a>(). If you want to switch +off a TQFileInfo's caching and force it to access the file system +every time you request information from it call <a href="#setCaching">setCaching</a>(FALSE). +<p> The file's type is obtained with <a href="#isFile">isFile</a>(), <a href="#isDir">isDir</a>() and +<a href="#isSymLink">isSymLink</a>(). The <a href="#readLink">readLink</a>() function provides the name of the file +the symlink points to. +<p> Elements of the file's name can be extracted with <a href="#dirPath">dirPath</a>() and +<a href="#fileName">fileName</a>(). The fileName()'s parts can be extracted with +<a href="#baseName">baseName</a>() and <a href="#extension">extension</a>(). +<p> The file's dates are returned by <a href="#created">created</a>(), <a href="#lastModified">lastModified</a>() and +<a href="#lastRead">lastRead</a>(). Information about the file's access permissions is +obtained with <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#isWritable">isWritable</a>() and <a href="#isExecutable">isExecutable</a>(). The +file's ownership is available from <a href="#owner">owner</a>(), <a href="#ownerId">ownerId</a>(), <a href="#group">group</a>() and +<a href="#groupId">groupId</a>(). You can examine a file's permissions and ownership in a +single statement using the <a href="#permission">permission</a>() function. +<p> If you need to read and traverse directories, see the <a href="qdir.html">TQDir</a> class. +<p>See also <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="PermissionSpec-enum"></a>TQFileInfo::PermissionSpec</h3> + +<p> This enum is used by the <a href="#permission">permission</a>() function to report the +permissions and ownership of a file. The values may be OR-ed +together to test multiple permissions and ownership values. +<ul> +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ReadOwner</tt> - The file is readable by the owner of the file. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::WriteOwner</tt> - The file is writable by the owner of the file. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ExeOwner</tt> - The file is executable by the owner of the file. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ReadUser</tt> - The file is readable by the user. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::WriteUser</tt> - The file is writable by the user. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ExeUser</tt> - The file is executable by the user. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ReadGroup</tt> - The file is readable by the group. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::WriteGroup</tt> - The file is writable by the group. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ExeGroup</tt> - The file is executable by the group. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ReadOther</tt> - The file is readable by anyone. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::WriteOther</tt> - The file is writable by anyone. +<li><tt>TQFileInfo::ExeOther</tt> - The file is executable by anyone. +</ul><p> <b>Warning:</b> The semantics of <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">ReadUser</a>, <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">WriteUser</a> and <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">ExeUser</a> are +unfortunately not platform independent: on Unix, the rights of the owner of +the file are returned and on Windows the rights of the current user are +returned. This behavior might change in a future TQt version. If you want to +find the rights of the owner of the file, you should use the flags <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">ReadOwner</a>, <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">WriteOwner</a> and <a href="#PermissionSpec-enum">ExeOwner</a>. If you want to find out the +rights of the current user, you should use <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#isWritable">isWritable</a>() and +<a href="#isExecutable">isExecutable</a>(). + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQFileInfo"></a>TQFileInfo::TQFileInfo () +</h3> +Constructs a new empty TQFileInfo. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQFileInfo-2"></a>TQFileInfo::TQFileInfo ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & file ) +</h3> +Constructs a new TQFileInfo that gives information about the given +file.
