Enum Class FileSystem

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<FileSystem>
org.apache.commons.io.FileSystem
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<FileSystem>, Constable
public enum FileSystem extends Enum<FileSystem>
Abstracts an OS' file system details, currently supporting the single use case of converting a file name String to a legal file name with toLegalFileName(String, char).

The starting point of any operation is getCurrent() which gets you the enum for the file system that matches the OS hosting the running JVM.

2.7

    • valueOf

      public static FileSystem valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null

    • getCurrent

      public static FileSystem getCurrent()
      Gets the current file system.
      Returns:
      the current file system

    • getOsMatchesName

      private static boolean getOsMatchesName(String osNamePrefix)
      Decides if the operating system matches.
      Parameters:
      osNamePrefix - the prefix for the os name
      Returns:
      true if matches, or false if not or can't determine

    • getSystemProperty

      private static String getSystemProperty(String property)

      Gets a System property, defaulting to null if the property cannot be read.

      If a SecurityException is caught, the return value is null and a message is written to System.err.

      Parameters:
      property - the system property name
      Returns:
      the system property value or null if a security problem occurs

    • isOsNameMatch

      private static boolean isOsNameMatch(String osName, String osNamePrefix)
      Decides if the operating system matches.

      This method is package private instead of private to support unit test invocation.

      Parameters:
      osName - the actual OS name
      osNamePrefix - the prefix for the expected OS name
      Returns:
      true if matches, or false if not or can't determine

    • getIllegalFileNameChars

      public char[] getIllegalFileNameChars()
      Gets a cloned copy of the illegal characters for this file system.
      Returns:
      the illegal characters for this file system.

    • getMaxFileNameLength

      public int getMaxFileNameLength()
      Gets the maximum length for file names. The file name does not include folders.
      Returns:
      the maximum length for file names.

    • getMaxPathLength

      public int getMaxPathLength()
      Gets the maximum length of the path to a file. This can include folders.

      Whether this file system is case-sensitive.

    • isIllegalFileNameChar

      private boolean isIllegalFileNameChar(char c)
      Returns true if the given character is illegal in a file name, false otherwise.
      Parameters:
      c - the character to test

      true if the given character is illegal in a file name, false otherwise.

    • isLegalFileName

      public boolean isLegalFileName(CharSequence candidate)
      Checks if a candidate file name (without a path) such as "filename.ext" or "filename" is a potentially legal file name. If the file name length exceeds getMaxFileNameLength(), or if it contains an illegal character then the check fails.

      candidate - a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename"
      Returns:
      true if the candidate name is legal

    • isReservedFileName

      public boolean isReservedFileName(CharSequence candidate)
      Returns whether the given string is a reserved file name.
      Parameters:
      candidate - the string to test

      true if the given string is a reserved file name.

    • supportsDriveLetter

      public boolean supportsDriveLetter()
      Tests whether this file system support driver letters.

      Since:
      2.9.0

    • toLegalFileName

      public String toLegalFileName(String candidate, char replacement)
      Converts a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename" to a legal file name. Illegal characters in the candidate name are replaced by the replacement character. If the file name length exceeds getMaxFileNameLength(), then the name is truncated to getMaxFileNameLength().
      Parameters:
      candidate - a candidate file name (without a path) like "filename.ext" or "filename"
      replacement - Illegal characters in the candidate name are replaced by this character
