The TQDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents in a platform-independent way.
<p> 

<p> A TQDir is used to manipulate path names, access information
regarding paths and files, and manipulate the underlying file
system.
<p> A TQDir can point to a file using either a relative or an absolute
path. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator "/"
(optionally preceded by a drive specification under Windows). If
you always use "/" as a directory separator, TQt will translate
your paths to conform to the underlying operating system. Relative
file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify
a path relative to the current directory.
<p> The "current" path refers to the application's working directory.
A TQDir's own path is set and retrieved with <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>() and <a href="#path">path</a>().
<p> 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 if a TQDir is using a relative or an
absolute file path. Call <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>() to convert a relative TQDir
to an absolute one. For a simplified path use <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(). To
obtain a path which has no symbolic links or redundant ".."
elements use <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>(). The path can be set with setPath(),
and changed with <a href="#cd">cd</a>() and <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>().
<p> TQDir provides several static functions, for example, <a href="#setCurrent">setCurrent</a>()
to set the application's working directory and <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>() to
retrieve the application's working directory. Access to some
common paths is provided with the static functions, <a href="#current">current</a>(),
<a href="#home">home</a>() and <a href="#root">root</a>() which return TQDir objects or currentDirPath(),
<a href="#homeDirPath">homeDirPath</a>() and <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>() which return the path as a string.
If you want to know about your application's path use
<a href="ntqapplication.html#applicationDirPath">TQApplication::applicationDirPath</a>().
<p> The number of entries in a directory is returned by <a href="#count">count</a>().
Obtain a string list of the names of all the files and directories
in a directory with <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>(). If you prefer a list of <a href="tqfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a>
pointers use <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). Both these functions can apply a
name filter, an attributes filter (e.g. read-only, files not
directories, etc.), and a sort order. The filters and sort may be
set with calls to <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>(), <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>() and <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>().
They may also be specified in the entryList() and
entryInfoList()'s arguments.
<p> Create a new directory with <a href="#mkdir">mkdir</a>(), rename a directory with
<a href="#rename">rename</a>() and remove an existing directory with <a href="#rmdir">rmdir</a>(). Remove a
file with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). You can interrogate a directory with <a href="#exists">exists</a>(),
<a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>() and <a href="#isRoot">isRoot</a>().
<p> To get a path with a filename use <a href="#filePath">filePath</a>(), and to get a
directory name use <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(); neither of these functions checks
for the existence of the file or directory.
<p> The list of root directories is provided by <a href="#drives">drives</a>(); on Unix
systems this returns a list containing one root directory, "/"; on
Windows the list will usually contain "C:/", and possibly "D:/",
etc.
<p> It is easiest to work with "/" separators in TQt code. If you need
to present a path to the user or need a path in a form suitable
for a function in the underlying operating system use
<a href="#convertSeparators">convertSeparators</a>().
<p> Examples:
<p> See if a directory exists.
<pre>
    TQDir d( "example" );                        // "./example"
    if ( !d.<a href="#exists">exists</a>() )

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="FilterSpec-enum"></a>TQDir::FilterSpec</h3>

<p> This enum describes the filtering options available to TQDir, e.g.
for <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). The filter value is specified
by OR-ing together values from the following list:
<ul>
<li><tt>TQDir::Dirs</tt> - List directories only.
<li><tt>TQDir::Files</tt> - List files only.
<li><tt>TQDir::Drives</tt> - List disk drives (ignored under Unix).
<li><tt>TQDir::NoSymLinks</tt> - Do not list symbolic links (ignored by operating
systems that don't support symbolic links).
<li><tt>TQDir::All</tt> - List directories, files, drives and symlinks (this does not list
broken symlinks unless you specify System).
<li><tt>TQDir::TypeMask</tt> - A mask for the the Dirs, Files, Drives and
NoSymLinks flags.
<li><tt>TQDir::Readable</tt> - List files for which the application has read access.
<li><tt>TQDir::Writable</tt> - List files for which the application has write access.
<li><tt>TQDir::Executable</tt> - List files for which the application has execute
access. Executables needs to be combined with Dirs or Files.
<li><tt>TQDir::RWEMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable and Executable flags.
<li><tt>TQDir::Modified</tt> - Only list files that have been modified (ignored
under Unix).
<li><tt>TQDir::Hidden</tt> - List hidden files (on Unix, files starting with a .).
<li><tt>TQDir::System</tt> - List system files (on Unix, FIFOs, sockets and
device files)
<li><tt>TQDir::AccessMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable, Executable
Modified, Hidden and System flags
<li><tt>TQDir::DefaultFilter</tt> - Internal flag.
</ul><p> If you do not set any of <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Readable</a>, <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Writable</a> or <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Executable</a>, TQDir will set all three of them. This makes the
default easy to write and at the same time useful.
<p> Examples: <tt>Readable|Writable</tt> means list all files for which the
application has read access, write access or both. <tt>Dirs|Drives</tt>
means list drives, directories, all files that the application can
read, write or execute, and also symlinks to such
files/directories.

<h3 class=fn><a name="SortSpec-enum"></a>TQDir::SortSpec</h3>

<p> This enum describes the sort options available to TQDir, e.g. for
<a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). The sort value is specified by
OR-ing together values from the following list:
<ul>
<li><tt>TQDir::Name</tt> - Sort by name.
<li><tt>TQDir::Time</tt> - Sort by time (modification time).
<li><tt>TQDir::Size</tt> - Sort by file size.
<li><tt>TQDir::Unsorted</tt> - Do not sort.
<li><tt>TQDir::SortByMask</tt> - A mask for Name, Time and Size.
<li><tt>TQDir::DirsFirst</tt> - Put the directories first, then the files.
<li><tt>TQDir::Reversed</tt> - Reverse the sort order.
<li><tt>TQDir::IgnoreCase</tt> - Sort case-insensitively.
<li><tt>TQDir::LocaleAware</tt> - Sort names using locale aware compares
<li><tt>TQDir::DefaultSort</tt> - Internal flag.
</ul><p> You can only specify one of the first four.
<p> If you specify both <a href="#SortSpec-enum">DirsFirst</a> and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">Reversed</a>, directories are
still put first, but in reverse order; the files will be listed
after the directories, again in reverse order.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDir"></a>TQDir::TQDir ()
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir pointing to the current directory (".").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDir-2"></a>TQDir::TQDir ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;path, const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;nameFilter = TQString::null, int&nbsp;sortSpec = Name | IgnoreCase, int&nbsp;filterSpec = All )
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir with path <em>path</em>, that filters its entries by
name using <em>nameFilter</em> and by attributes using <em>filterSpec</em>. It
also sorts the names using <em>sortSpec</em>.
<p> The default <em>nameFilter</em> is an empty string, which excludes
nothing; the default <em>filterSpec</em> is <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">All</a>, which also means
exclude nothing. The default <em>sortSpec</em> is <tt>Name|IgnoreCase</tt>,
i.e. sort by name case-insensitively.
<p> Example that lists all the files in "/tmp":
<pre>
    TQDir d( "/tmp" );
    for ( int i = 0; i &lt; d.<a href="#count">count</a>(); i++ )
        printf( "%s\n", d[i] );
    </pre>
 
<p> If <em>path</em> is "" or <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>, TQDir uses "." (the current
directory). If <em>nameFilter</em> is "" or TQString::null, TQDir uses the
name filter "*" (all files).
<p> Note that <em>path</em> need not exist.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>(), <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>(), <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>(), and <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDir-3"></a>TQDir::TQDir ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;d )
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir that is a copy of the directory <em>d</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#operator-eq">operator=</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQDir"></a>TQDir::~TQDir ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Destroys the TQDir frees up its resources.

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="absFilePath"></a>TQDir::absFilePath ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, bool&nbsp;acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the absolute path name of a file in the directory. Does <em>not</em> check if the file actually exists in the directory. Redundant
multiple separators or "." and ".." directories in <em>fileName</em>
will not be removed (see <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>()).
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a <em>fileName</em> starting with a
separator "/" will be returned without change. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em>
is FALSE an absolute path will be prepended to the fileName and
the resultant string returned.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#filePath">filePath</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="absPath"></a>TQDir::absPath () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the absolute path (a path that starts with "/" or with a
drive specification), which may contain symbolic links, but never
contains redundant ".", ".." or multiple separators.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>(), <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(), <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(), and <a href="#absFilePath">absFilePath</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="canonicalPath"></a>TQDir::canonicalPath () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the canonical path, i.e. a path without symbolic links or
redundant "." or ".." elements.
<p> On systems that do not have symbolic links this function will
always return the same string that <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>() returns. If the
canonical path does not exist (normally due to dangling symbolic
links) <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>() returns <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#path">path</a>(), <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(), <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(), <a href="#absFilePath">absFilePath</a>(), and <a href="tqstring.html#isNull">TQString::isNull</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="cd"></a>TQDir::cd ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;dirName, bool&nbsp;acceptAbsPath = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes the TQDir's directory to <em>dirName</em>.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with separator "/"
will cause the function to change to the absolute directory. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning
of <em>dirName</em> will be removed and the function will descend into
<em>dirName</em>.
<p> Returns TRUE if the new directory exists and is readable;
otherwise returns FALSE. Note that the logical <a href="#cd">cd</a>() operation is
not performed if the new directory does not exist.
<p> Calling cd( ".." ) is equivalent to calling <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>(), <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), and <a href="#path">path</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="cdUp"></a>TQDir::cdUp ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes directory by moving one directory up from the TQDir's
current directory.
<p> Returns TRUE if the new directory exists and is readable;
otherwise returns FALSE. Note that the logical <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>() operation is
not performed if the new directory does not exist.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cd">cd</a>(), <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), and <a href="#path">path</a>().

</h3>
Removes all multiple directory separators "/" and resolves any
"."s or ".."s found in the path, <em>filePath</em>.
<p> Symbolic links are kept. This function does not return the
canonical path, but rather the simplest version of the input.
For example, "./local" becomes "local", "local/../bin" becomes
"bin" and "/local/usr/../bin" becomes "/local/bin".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>() and <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>().

</h3>
Returns <em>pathName</em> with the '/' separators converted to
separators that are appropriate for the underlying operating
system.
<p> On Windows, <a href="#convertSeparators">convertSeparators</a>("c:/winnt/system32") returns
"c:\winnt\system32".
<p> The returned string may be the same as the argument on some
operating systems, for example on Unix.

<p>Examples: <a href="dirview-example.html#x1664">dirview/dirview.cpp</a> and <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x811">fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="convertToAbs"></a>TQDir::convertToAbs ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="dirName"></a>TQDir::dirName () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the name of the directory; this is <em>not</em> the same as the
path, e.g. a directory with the name "mail", might have the path
"/var/spool/mail". If the directory has no name (e.g. it is the
root directory) <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> is returned.
<p> No check is made to ensure that a directory with this name
actually exists.

<h3 class=fn>const TQFileInfoList * <a name="drives"></a>TQDir::drives ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a list of the root directories on this system. On Windows
this returns a number of <a href="tqfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a> objects containing "C:/", "D:/"
etc. On other operating systems, it returns a list containing just
one root directory (e.g. "/").
<p> The returned pointer is owned by TQt. Callers should <em>not</em> delete

</h3>
Checks for the existence of the file <em>name</em>.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with separator "/"
will check the file with the absolute path. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is
FALSE any number of separators at the beginning of <em>name</em> will be
removed and the resultant file name will be checked.
<p> Returns TRUE if the file exists; otherwise returns FALSE.

</h3>
Returns the path name of a file in the directory. Does <em>not</em>
check if the file actually exists in the directory. If the TQDir is
relative the returned path name will also be relative. Redundant
multiple separators or "." and ".." directories in <em>fileName</em>
will not be removed (see <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>()).
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a <em>fileName</em> starting with a
separator "/" will be returned without change. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em>
is FALSE an absolute path will be prepended to the fileName and
the resultant string returned.

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a> <a name="home"></a>TQDir::home ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the home directory.
<p> Under Windows the <tt>HOME</tt> environment variable is used. If this
does not exist the <tt>USERPROFILE</tt> environment variable is used. If
that does not exist the path is formed by concatenating the <tt>HOMEDRIVE</tt> and <tt>HOMEPATH</tt> environment variables. If they don't
exist the <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>() is used (this uses the <tt>SystemDrive</tt>
environment variable). If none of these exist "C:&#92;" is used.
<p> Under non-Windows operating systems the <tt>HOME</tt> environment
variable is used if it exists, otherwise rootDirPath() is used.

</h3>
Removes the file, <em>fileName</em>.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with separator "/"
will remove the file with the absolute path. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em>
is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning of <em>fileName</em>
will be removed and the resultant file name will be removed.
<p> Returns TRUE if the file is removed successfully; otherwise
returns FALSE.

</h3>
Renames a file or directory.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPaths</em> is TRUE a path starting with a separator
('/') will rename the file with the absolute path; if <em>acceptAbsPaths</em> is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning
of the names will be removed.
<p> Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> On most file systems, <a href="#rename">rename</a>() fails only if <em>oldName</em> does not
exist or if <em>newName</em> and <em>oldName</em> are not on the same
partition. On Windows, rename() will fail if <em>newName</em> already
exists. However, there are also other reasons why rename() can
fail. For example, on at least one file system rename() fails if
<em>newName</em> points to an open file.

<p>Example: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x814">fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rmdir"></a>TQDir::rmdir ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;dirName, bool&nbsp;acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>

Removes a directory.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with a separator ('/')
will remove the absolute directory; if <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is FALSE
any number of separators at the beginning of <em>dirName</em> will be
removed.
<p> The directory must be empty for <a href="#rmdir">rmdir</a>() to succeed.
<p> Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.

<p> For UNIX operating systems this returns "/". For Windows file
systems this normally returns "c:/".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#root">root</a>() and <a href="#drives">drives</a>().

<h3 class=fn>char <a name="separator"></a>TQDir::separator ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the native directory separator; "/" under UNIX (including
Mac OS X) and "&#92;" under Windows.
<p> You do not need to use this function to build file paths. If you
always use "/", TQt will translate your paths to conform to the
underlying operating system.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setCurrent"></a>TQDir::setCurrent ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;path )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the application's current working directory to <em>path</em>.
Returns TRUE if the directory was successfully changed; otherwise

</h3>
Sets the filter used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>() to <em>filterSpec</em>. The filter is used to specify the kind of files that
should be returned by entryList() and entryInfoList(). See
<a href="#FilterSpec-enum">TQDir::FilterSpec</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#filter">filter</a>() and <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMatchAllDirs"></a>TQDir::setMatchAllDirs ( bool&nbsp;enable )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
If <em>enable</em> is TRUE then all directories are included (e.g. in
<a href="#entryList">entryList</a>()), and the <a href="#nameFilter">nameFilter</a>() is only applied to the files.
If <em>enable</em> is FALSE then the nameFilter() is applied to both
directories and files.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#matchAllDirs">matchAllDirs</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setNameFilter"></a>TQDir::setNameFilter ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;nameFilter )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the name filter used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>() to <em>nameFilter</em>.
<p> The <em>nameFilter</em> is a wildcard (globbing) filter that understands
"*" and "?" wildcards. (See <a href="tqregexp.html#wildcard-matching">TQRegExp wildcard matching</a>.) You may specify several filter
entries all separated by a single space " " or by a semi-colon
";".
<p> For example, if you want entryList() and entryInfoList() to list
all files ending with either ".cpp" or ".h", you would use either
dir.<a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>("*.cpp *.h") or dir.setNameFilter("*.cpp;*.h").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#nameFilter">nameFilter</a>() and <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setPath"></a>TQDir::setPath ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;path )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the path of the directory to <em>path</em>. The path is cleaned of
redundant ".", ".." and of multiple separators. No check is made
to ensure that a directory with this path exists.
<p> The path can be either absolute or relative. Absolute paths begin
with the directory separator "/" (optionally preceded by 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. An example of an absolute path is the string
"/tmp/quartz", a relative path might look like "src/fatlib".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#path">path</a>(), <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(), <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(), <a href="#absFilePath">absFilePath</a>(), <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>(), and <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setSorting"></a>TQDir::setSorting ( int&nbsp;sortSpec )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the sort order used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>().
<p> The <em>sortSpec</em> is specified by OR-ing values from the enum
<a href="#SortSpec-enum">TQDir::SortSpec</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#sorting">sorting</a>() and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a>.

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdir.html#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a> <a name="sorting"></a>TQDir::sorting () const
</h3>

<p> Returns the value set by <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>()
