Path

The Path object.

Fields​

  • ​path (String): The underlying path string representation.

Implemented traits​

AnyType, CollectionElement, Copyable, EqualityComparable, Hashable, KeyElement, Movable, PathLike, Stringable

Methods​

__init__​

__init__(inout self: Self, /)

Initializes a path with the current directory.

__init__(inout self: Self, /, path: StringLiteral)

Initializes a path with the provided path.

Args:

  • ​path (StringLiteral): The file system path.

__init__(inout self: Self, /, path: String)

Initializes a path with the provided path.

Args:

  • ​path (String): The file system path.

__copyinit__​

__copyinit__(inout self: Self, /, existing: Self)

Copy constructor for the path struct.

Args:

  • ​existing (Self): The existing struct to copy from.

__moveinit__​

__moveinit__(inout self: Self, /, owned existing: Self)

Move data of an existing Path into a new one.

Args:

  • ​existing (Self): The existing Path.

__eq__​

__eq__(self: Self, other: Self) -> Bool

Returns True if the two paths are equal.

Args:

  • ​other (Self): The other path to compare against.

Returns:

True if the paths are equal and False otherwise.

__ne__​

__ne__(self: Self, other: Self) -> Bool

Returns True if the two paths are not equal.

Args:

  • ​other (Self): The other path to compare against.

Returns:

True if the paths are not equal and False otherwise.

__truediv__​

__truediv__(self: Self, suffix: Self) -> Self

Joins two paths using the system-defined path separator.

Args:

  • ​suffix (Self): The suffix to append to the path.

Returns:

A new path with the suffix appended to the current path.

__truediv__(self: Self, suffix: StringLiteral) -> Self

Joins two paths using the system-defined path separator.

Args:

  • ​suffix (StringLiteral): The suffix to append to the path.

Returns:

A new path with the suffix appended to the current path.

__truediv__(self: Self, suffix: String) -> Self

Joins two paths using the system-defined path separator.

Args:

  • ​suffix (String): The suffix to append to the path.

Returns:

A new path with the suffix appended to the current path.

__itruediv__​

__itruediv__(inout self: Self, suffix: String)

Joins two paths using the system-defined path separator.

Args:

  • ​suffix (String): The suffix to append to the path.

__str__​

__str__(self: Self) -> String

Returns a string representation of the path.

Returns:

A string represntation of the path.

__fspath__​

__fspath__(self: Self) -> String

Returns a string representation of the path.

Returns:

A string represntation of the path.

__repr__​

__repr__(self: Self) -> String

Returns a printable representation of the path.

Returns:

A printable represntation of the path.

__hash__​

__hash__(self: Self) -> Int

Hash the underlying path string using builtin hash.

Returns:

An integer value containing the hash of the path string.

stat​

stat(self: Self) -> stat_result

Returns the stat information on the path.

Returns:

A stat_result object containing information about the path.

lstat​

lstat(self: Self) -> stat_result

Returns the lstat information on the path. This is similar to stat, but if the file is a symlink then it gives you information about the symlink rather than the target.

Returns:

A stat_result object containing information about the path.

exists​

exists(self: Self) -> Bool

Returns True if the path exists and False otherwise.

Returns:

True if the path exists on disk and False otherwise.

is_dir​

is_dir(self: Self) -> Bool

Returns True if the path is a directory and False otherwise.

Returns:

Return True if the path points to a directory (or a link pointing to a directory).

is_file​

is_file(self: Self) -> Bool

Returns True if the path is a file and False otherwise.

Returns:

Return True if the path points to a file (or a link pointing to a file).

read_text​

read_text(self: Self) -> String

Returns content of the file.

Returns:

Contents of file as string.

read_bytes​

read_bytes(self: Self) -> List[SIMD[int8, 1]]

Returns content of the file as bytes.

Returns:

Contents of file as list of bytes.

write_text​

write_text[stringable: Stringable](self: Self, value: stringable)

Writes the value to the file as text.

Parameters:

  • ​stringable (Stringable): The Stringable type.

Args:

  • ​value (stringable): The value to write.

suffix​

suffix(self: Self) -> String

The path's extension, if any. This includes the leading period. For example: '.txt'. If no extension is found, returns the empty string.

Returns:

The path's extension.

joinpath​

joinpath(self: Self, *pathsegments: String) -> Self

Joins the Path using the pathsegments.

Args:

  • ​*pathsegments (String): The path segments.

Returns:

The path concatenation with the pathsegments using the directory separator.

listdir​

listdir(self: Self) -> List[Path]

Gets the list of entries contained in the path provided.

Returns:

The list of entries in the path provided.
