NAME

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

_init(hashref { parent => string $parent_dir, entry => string $filename, white => char $iswhite, mark => char $marked_flag } )

Initializes new instances. Called from the constructor. If entry is defined, the method stat_entry() is called automatically.

_decidecolor()

Decides which color should be used on a particular file.

parent()

Getter for the path of the containing directory according to the bookkeeping of this file.

makefile(string $path)

Creates a App::PFM::File object for the given path.

This is a factory method; it should be called as follows:

    $file = App::PFM::File->makefile('/home/ruittenb/.profile');
    

mode2str(int $st_mode)

Converts a numeric st_mode field (file type/permission bits) to a symbolic one (e.g. "drwxr-x---"). Uses App::PFM::OS::*::ifmt2str() to determine the inode type. Uses App::PFM::OS::*::mode2str() to determine the symbolic representation of permissions.

stamp2str(int $timestamp)

Formats a timestamp for printing.

dummy_entry(string $entry)

Initializes the current file information as a dummy entry.

stat_entry(string $entry, char $iswhite, char $marked_flag)

Initializes the current file information by performing a stat() on it.

The iswhite argument indicates if the directory already has an idea if this file is a whiteout. Allowed values: 'w', '?', ''.

The marked_flag argument is used to have the caller specify whether the 'mark' field of the file info should be cleared (when reading a new directory) or kept intact (when re-statting).

filetypeflag()

Returns the correct flag for this file type.

format()

Formats the fields according to the current screen size.

apply(coderef $do_this, string $special_mode, array @args)

Applies the supplied function to the current file. The function will be called as "$do_this->($self, @args)" where self is the current File object.

The current file will be temporarily unregistered from the current directory for the duration of do_this().

If special_mode does not equal 'norestat', the file is re-stat() after executing do_this().
