Method Detail

public static boolean setMode(int intMode,
                              java.io.File destFile)

Set the Unix file mode for a file. For specifying integer file modes, you can use octal numbers by prefixing a "0".

Parameters:: intMode - the Unix file mode; destFile - the file for which the mode should be set
Returns:: whether the operation was successful or not

public static boolean setMode(java.lang.String mode,
                              java.io.File destFile)

Set the Unix file mode for a file.

Parameters:: mode - the Unix file mode as an octal string, e.g. "755".; destFile - the file for which the mode should be set
Returns:: whether the operation was successful or not

public static boolean createLink(java.lang.String destFileName,
                                 java.io.File linkFile)

Create a symbolic link on Unix. If the link exists it will be overwritten.

Parameters:: destFileName - the file where the link should point to; linkFile - the link that should be created
Returns:: whether the operation was successful or not

public static boolean setOwner(java.lang.String owner,
                               java.io.File file)

Set the owner of a file.

Parameters:: owner - the owner spec. Either a user name like "user" or a user name followed by a colon and a group name, like "user:group".; file - the file for which the owner should be set.
Returns:: whether the operation was successful or not

public static UnixFileSystem.FileInformation getFileInformation(java.io.File file)

Get Unix-specific information about a file.
