Instance Method Detail

def directory? #

Returns true if this Info represents a directory. Shortcut for type.directory?.


def file? #

Returns true if this Info represents a standard file. Shortcut for type.file?.


abstract def flags : Flags #

The special flags this file has set.


abstract def group : UInt32 #

The group ID that the file belongs to.


abstract def modification_time : Time #

The last time this file was modified.


abstract def owner : UInt32 #

The user ID of the file's owner.


abstract def permissions : Permissions #

The permissions of the file.


abstract def same_file?(other : File::Info) : Bool #

Returns true if this Info and other are of the same file.

On unix, this compares device and inode fields, and will compare equal for hard linked files.


abstract def size : UInt64 #

Size of the file, in bytes.


def symlink? #

Returns true if this Info represents a symbolic link to another file. Shortcut for type.symlink?.


abstract def type : Type #

The type of the file.
