- <h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
- <dl class="function">
- <dt><a name="File.close"></a><strong>File:close</strong> ()</dt>
- <dd>
- Close the file descriptor.
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- true
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.fileno"></a><strong>File:fileno</strong> ()</dt>
- <dd>
- Get the number of the filedescriptor.
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- file descriptor number
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.lock"></a><strong>File:lock</strong> (command, length)</dt>
- <dd>
- Apply or test a lock on the file.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- command: Locking Command ["lock", "tlock", "ulock", "test"]
- </li>
-
- <li>
- length: Amount of Bytes to lock from current offset (optional)
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>This function calls lockf() on POSIX and _locking() on Windows.
-
- <li>The "lock" command is blocking, "tlock" is non-blocking,
- "ulock" unlocks and "test" only tests for the lock.
-
- <li>The "test" command is not available on Windows.
-
- <li>Locks are by default advisory on POSIX, but mandatory on Windows.
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- true
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.read"></a><strong>File:read</strong> (length)</dt>
- <dd>
- Read from a file descriptor.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- length: Amount of data to read (in Bytes).
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all requested data
- is read at once especially when dealing with pipes.
- You have to check the return value - the length of the buffer actually read -
- or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
-
- <li>The length of the return buffer is limited by the (compile time)
- nixio buffersize which is <em>nixio.const.buffersize</em> (8192 by default).
- Any read request greater than that will be safely truncated to this value.
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- buffer containing data successfully read
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.seek"></a><strong>File:seek</strong> (offset, whence)</dt>
- <dd>
- Reposition read / write offset of the file descriptor.
- The seek will be done either from the beginning of the file or relative
- to the current position or relative to the end.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- offset: File Offset
- </li>
-
- <li>
- whence: Starting point [<strong>"set"</strong>, "cur", "end"]
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage:</h3>
- This function calls lseek().
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- new (absolute) offset position
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.setblocking"></a><strong>File:setblocking</strong> (blocking)</dt>
- <dd>
- (POSIX) Set the blocking mode of the file descriptor.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- blocking: (boolean)
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- true
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.stat"></a><strong>File:stat</strong> (field)</dt>
- <dd>
- Get file status and attributes.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- field: Only return a specific field, not the whole table (optional)
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage:</h3>
- This function calls fstat().
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- Table containing: <ul>
- <li>atime = Last access timestamp</li>
- <li>blksize = Blocksize (POSIX only)</li>
- <li>blocks = Blocks used (POSIX only)</li>
- <li>ctime = Creation timestamp</li>
- <li>dev = Device ID</li>
- <li>gid = Group ID</li>
- <li>ino = Inode</li>
- <li>modedec = Mode converted into a decimal number</li>
- <li>modestr = Mode as string as returned by <code>ls -l</code></li>
- <li>mtime = Last modification timestamp</li>
- <li>nlink = Number of links</li>
- <li>rdev = Device ID (if special file)</li>
- <li>size = Size in bytes</li>
- <li>type = ["reg", "dir", "chr", "blk", "fifo", "lnk", "sock"]</li>
- <li>uid = User ID</li>
- </ul>
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.sync"></a><strong>File:sync</strong> (data_only)</dt>
- <dd>
- Synchronizes the file with the storage device.
- Returns when the file is successfully written to the disk.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- data_only: Do not synchronize the metadata. (optional, boolean)
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>This function calls fsync() when data_only equals false
- otherwise fdatasync(), on Windows _commit() is used instead.
-
- <li>fdatasync() is only supported by Linux and Solaris. For other systems
- the <em>data_only</em> parameter is ignored and fsync() is always called.
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- true
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.tell"></a><strong>File:tell</strong> ()</dt>
- <dd>
- Return the current read / write offset of the file descriptor.
- <h3>Usage:</h3>
- This function calls lseek() with offset 0 from the current position.
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- offset position
- </dd>
- <dt><a name="File.write"></a><strong>File:write</strong> (buffer, offset, length)</dt>
- <dd>
- Write to the file descriptor.
- <h3>Parameters</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- buffer: Buffer holding the data to be written.
- </li>
-
- <li>
- offset: Offset to start reading the buffer from. (optional)
- </li>
-
- <li>
- length: Length of chunk to read from the buffer. (optional)
- </li>
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Usage</h3>
- <ul>
-
- <li><strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all data
- in the buffer is written at once especially when dealing with pipes.
- You have to check the return value - the number of bytes actually written -
- or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
-
- <li>Unlike standard Lua indexing the lowest offset and default is 0.
-
- </ul>
- <h3>Return value:</h3>
- number of bytes written
- </dd>
