|
|
copy, delete, move and so on. It only operates on <em>Path Abs</em> which
|
|
guarantees us well-typed paths which are absolute.</p><p>Some functions are just path-safe wrappers around
|
|
unix functions, others have stricter exception handling
|
|
and some implement functionality that doesn't have a unix
|
|
counterpart (like <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:copyDirRecursive">copyDirRecursive</a></code>).</p><p>Some of these operations are due to their nature <strong>not atomic</strong>, which
|
|
means they may do multiple syscalls which form one context. Some
|
|
of them also have to examine the filetypes explicitly before the
|
|
syscalls, so a reasonable decision can be made. That means
|
|
the result is undefined if another process changes that context
|
|
while the non-atomic operation is still happening. However, where
|
|
possible, as few syscalls as possible are used and the underlying
|
|
exception handling is kept.</p><p>Note: <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:BlockDevice">BlockDevice</a></code>, <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:CharacterDevice">CharacterDevice</a></code>, <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:NamedPipe">NamedPipe</a></code> and <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:Socket">Socket</a></code>
|
|
are ignored by some of the more high-level functions (like <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:easyCopy">easyCopy</a></code>).
|
|
For other functions (like <code><a href="HPath-IO.html#v:copyFile">copyFile</a></code>), the behavior on these file types is
|
|
unreliable/unsafe. Check the documentation of those functions for details.</p></div></div><div id="synopsis"><p id="control.syn" class="caption expander" onclick="toggleSection('syn')">Synopsis</p><ul id="section.syn"
