Module fs

filesystem interaction and functionality library

Introduction

The fs module provides easy and simple access to filesystem functions and other things, and acts an addition to the Lua standard library’s I/O and filesystem functions.

Functions


abs(path) -> string	Gives an absolute version of `path`.
basename(path) -> string	Gives the basename of `path`. For the rules,
cd(dir)	Changes directory to `dir`
dir(path) -> string	Returns the directory part of `path`. For the rules, see Go’s
glob(pattern) -> matches (table)	Glob all files and directories that match the pattern.
join(…) -> string	Takes paths and joins them together with the OS’s
mkdir(name, recursive)	Makes a directory called `name`. If `recursive` is true, it will create its parent directories.
readdir(dir) -> {}	Returns a table of files in `dir`.
stat(path) -> {}	Returns a table of info about the `path`.

fs.abs(path) -> string

Gives an absolute version of path.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.basename(path) -> string

Gives the basename of path. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Base

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.cd(dir)

Changes directory to dir

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.dir(path) -> string

Returns the directory part of path. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Dir

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.glob(pattern) -> matches (table)

Glob all files and directories that match the pattern. For the rules, see Go’s filepath.Glob

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.join(...) -> string

Takes paths and joins them together with the OS’s directory separator (forward or backward slash).

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.mkdir(name, recursive)

Makes a directory called name. If recursive is true, it will create its parent directories.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.readdir(dir) -> {}

Returns a table of files in dir.

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

fs.stat(path) -> {}

Returns a table of info about the path. It contains the following keys: name (string) - Name of the path size (number) - Size of the path mode (string) - Permission mode in an octal format string (with leading 0) isDir (boolean) - If the path is a directory

Parameters

This function has no parameters.
