Properties
| Property | Action | Jaxer Server Framework | Jaxer Client Framework |
|---|---|---|---|
The last modified timestamp as reported by the OS. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object physically exists on the filesystem. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is a folder/directory | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is an executable | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is a file | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is a folder/directory an alias of as isDir | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is hidden | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is readable | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is special. NOTE: Not implemented on Mac and possibly other systems. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is a symlink | No Details | 1.0 | no |
A boolean indicator of whether the referenced object is writable | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Get/Set the leaf (filename + extension) portion of the file path. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Returns a clone of the underlying nsIFile object. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Returns the path of the refererenced filesystem object. | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Get/Set the file permissions for the File object. this may be ignored/misreported by some versions of windows. on Windows, you can only set the Read/Write bits of a file. And User/Group/Other will have the SAME settings based on the most-relaxed setting (Read 04, 040, 0400, Write 02, 020, 0200). When a file is created, by default it has both Read and Write permissions. Also, you cannot set the file permission to WRITE-ONLY, doing so would set it to read-write | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Return the path of the referenced object as a file URL | No Details | 1.0 | no |
Functions
| Method | Action | Jaxer Server Framework | Jaxer Client Framework | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
append(String leafname) : String Changes the path of the filesystem object by appending the provided leaf value. | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
Parameters
Returns
| ||||||||
appendRelativePath(String relative) :
void
This method is used for appending a relative path to the current filesystem object | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
Parameters
| ||||||||
equals(Object a) : Boolean Evaluates whether the current filesystem object refers to the same file as the one provided as a parameter | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
Parameters
Returns
| ||||||||
initPath(Array a) : String This method will initialize the file system object with the provided path information (or will attempt to derive the path if an object is provided). An existing File object can be 'repointed' to a new physical file sytem object by invoking this method. | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
Parameters
Returns
| ||||||||
move(String destination) :
void
Move the referenced file to a new filesystem location provided as a parameter NOTE: after a move, 'this' will be reinitialized to reference the moved file! | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
Parameters
| ||||||||
normalize() :
void
As of Mozilla 1.7, the underlying XPCOM method is only implemented under UNIX builds (except for Mac OSX). This method will fail if the path does not exist. | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
| ||||||||
resetCache() : Boolean Truncates the file referenced by the filesystem object. | Show Details | 1.0 | no | |||||
