NAME
Filesys::Cap - Test filesystem capabilities/characteristics
VERSION
This document describes version 0.02 of Filesys::Cap (from Perl distribution Filesys-Cap), released on 2015-11-12.
SYNOPSIS
use Filesys::Cap qw(fs_has_attr_x fs_is_ci fs_is_cs fs_can_symlink);
say "Filesystem has x attribute" if fs_has_attr_x();
say "Filesystem is case-insensitive" if fs_is_ci("/tmp");
say "Filesystem is case-sensitive" if fs_is_cs("/tmp");
say "Filesystem can do symlinks" if fs_can_symlink("/tmp");FUNCTIONS
fs_has_attr_x([ $dir ]) => bool
Return true if filesystem has x attribute, meaning it can have files that pass -x Perl file test operator as well as files that fail it. This is done by actually creating two temporary files under $dir, one chmod-ed to 0644 and one to 0755 and test the two files.
If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by tempdir().
Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).
fs_is_ci([ $dir ]) => bool
Return true if filesystem is case-insensitive, meaning it is impossible to create two files with the same name but differing case (e.g. "foo" and "Foo"). This is done by actually creating two temporary files under $dir.
If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by tempdir().
Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).
fs_is_cs([ $dir ]) => bool
The opposite of fs_is_ci, will return true if filesystem is case-sensitive.
fs_can_symlink([ $dir ]) => bool
Return true if filesystem can do symlinks. This is tested by creating an actual temporary symlink. Note that this check is performed first:
return undef unless eval { symlink("",""); 1 };If $dir is not specified, will use a temporary directory created by tempdir().
Will return undef on failure (e.g.: permission denied, etc).
