Struct qt_core::QDir

The QDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents.

A QDir is used to manipulate path names, access information regarding paths and files, and manipulate the underlying file system. It can also be used to access Qt's resource system.

Qt uses "/" as a universal directory separator in the same way that "/" is used as a path separator in URLs. If you always use "/" as a directory separator, Qt will translate your paths to conform to the underlying operating system.

A QDir can point to a file using either a relative or an absolute path. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator (optionally preceded by a drive specification under Windows). Relative file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the current directory.

Examples of absolute paths:

QDir(“/home/user/Documents”)
QDir(“C:/Documents and Settings”)

On Windows, the second example above will be translated to C:\Documents and Settings when used to access files.

Examples of relative paths:

QDir(“images/landscape.png”)

You can use the isRelative() or isAbsolute() functions to check if a QDir is using a relative or an absolute file path. Call makeAbsolute() to convert a relative QDir to an absolute one.

Implementations§

impl QDir

pub unsafe fn absolute_file_path( &self, file_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> ) -> CppBox<QString>

Returns the absolute path name of a file in the directory. Does not check if the file actually exists in the directory; but see exists(). Redundant multiple separators or "." and ".." directories in fileName are not removed (see cleanPath()).

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::absoluteFilePath(const QString& fileName) const.

Returns the absolute path name of a file in the directory. Does not check if the file actually exists in the directory; but see exists(). Redundant multiple separators or “.” and “..” directories in fileName are not removed (see cleanPath()).

See also relativeFilePath(), filePath(), and canonicalPath().

pub unsafe fn absolute_path(&self) -> CppBox<QString>

Returns the absolute path (a path that starts with "/" or with a drive specification), which may contain symbolic links, but never contains redundant ".", ".." or multiple separators.

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::absolutePath() const.

Returns the absolute path (a path that starts with “/” or with a drive specification), which may contain symbolic links, but never contains redundant “.”, “..” or multiple separators.

See also setPath(), canonicalPath(), exists(), cleanPath(), dirName(), and absoluteFilePath().

pub unsafe fn add_resource_search_path(path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>)

Use QDir::addSearchPath() with a prefix instead.

Calls C++ function: static void QDir::addResourceSearchPath(const QString& path).

Use QDir::addSearchPath() with a prefix instead.

Adds path to the search paths searched in to find resources that are not specified with an absolute path. The default search path is to search only in the root (:/).

See also The Qt Resource System.

pub unsafe fn add_search_path( prefix: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> )

Adds path to the search path for prefix.

Calls C++ function: static void QDir::addSearchPath(const QString& prefix, const QString& path).

Adds path to the search path for prefix.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.

See also setSearchPaths().

pub unsafe fn canonical_path(&self) -> CppBox<QString>

Returns the canonical path, i.e. a path without symbolic links or redundant "." or ".." elements.

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::canonicalPath() const.

Returns the canonical path, i.e. a path without symbolic links or redundant “.” or “..” elements.

On systems that do not have symbolic links this function will always return the same string that absolutePath() returns. If the canonical path does not exist (normally due to dangling symbolic links) canonicalPath() returns an empty string.

Example:

QString bin = “/local/bin”;         // where /local/bin is a symlink to /usr/bin
QDir binDir(bin);
QString canonicalBin = binDir.canonicalPath();
// canonicalBin now equals “/usr/bin”
QString ls = “/local/bin/ls”;       // where ls is the executable “ls”
QDir lsDir(ls);
QString canonicalLs = lsDir.canonicalPath();
// canonicalLS now equals “/usr/bin/ls”.

See also path(), absolutePath(), exists(), cleanPath(), dirName(), and absoluteFilePath().

pub unsafe fn cd(&self, dir_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> bool

Changes the QDir's directory to dirName.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::cd(const QString& dirName).

Changes the QDir’s directory to dirName.

Returns true if the new directory exists; otherwise returns false. Note that the logical cd() operation is not performed if the new directory does not exist.

Calling cd("..") is equivalent to calling cdUp().

See also cdUp(), isReadable(), exists(), and path().

pub unsafe fn cd_up(&self) -> bool

Changes directory by moving one directory up from the QDir's current directory.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::cdUp().

Changes directory by moving one directory up from the QDir’s current directory.

Returns true if the new directory exists; otherwise returns false. Note that the logical cdUp() operation is not performed if the new directory does not exist.

See also cd(), isReadable(), exists(), and path().

pub unsafe fn clean_path(path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> CppBox<QString>

Calls C++ function: static QString QDir::cleanPath(const QString& path).

Returns path with directory separators normalized (converted to “/”) and redundant ones removed, and “.“s and “..“s resolved (as far as possible).

Symbolic links are kept. This function does not return the canonical path, but rather the simplest version of the input. For example, "./local" becomes "local", "local/../bin" becomes "bin" and "/local/usr/../bin" becomes "/local/bin".

See also absolutePath() and canonicalPath().

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::dirName() const.

Returns the name of the directory; this is not the same as the path, e.g. a directory with the name “mail”, might have the path “/var/spool/mail”. If the directory has no name (e.g. it is the root directory) an empty string is returned.

No check is made to ensure that a directory with this name actually exists; but see exists().

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also toNativeSeparators() and separator().

pub unsafe fn home() -> CppBox<QDir>

Returns the user's home directory.

Calls C++ function: static QDir QDir::home().

Under Windows this function will return the directory of the current user's profile. Typically, this is:

C:/Documents and Settings/Username

Use the toNativeSeparators() function to convert the separators to the ones that are appropriate for the underlying operating system.

If the directory of the current user's profile does not exist or cannot be retrieved, the following alternatives will be checked (in the given order) until an existing and available path is found:

The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
The path formed by concatenating the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables.
The path specified by the HOME environment variable.
The path returned by the rootPath() function (which uses the SystemDrive environment variable)
The C:/ directory.

Constructs a QDir pointing to the given directory path. If path is empty the program’s working directory, (“.”), is used.

See also currentPath().

pub unsafe fn new_4a( path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, name_filter: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, sort: QFlags<SortFlag>, filter: QFlags<Filter> ) -> CppBox<QDir>

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

Calls C++ function: [constructor] void QDir::QDir(const QString& path, const QString& nameFilter, QFlags<QDir::SortFlag> sort = …, QFlags<QDir::Filter> filter = …).

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

The default nameFilter is an empty string, which excludes nothing; the default filters is AllEntries, which also means exclude nothing. The default sort is Name | IgnoreCase, i.e. sort by name case-insensitively.

If path is an empty string, QDir uses "." (the current directory). If nameFilter is an empty string, QDir uses the name filter "*" (all files).

Note that path need not exist.

See also exists(), setPath(), setNameFilters(), setFilter(), and setSorting().

pub unsafe fn new_0a() -> CppBox<QDir>

The QDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents.

Calls C++ function: [constructor] void QDir::QDir().

The QDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents.

A QDir is used to manipulate path names, access information regarding paths and files, and manipulate the underlying file system. It can also be used to access Qt's resource system.

Qt uses "/" as a universal directory separator in the same way that "/" is used as a path separator in URLs. If you always use "/" as a directory separator, Qt will translate your paths to conform to the underlying operating system.

A QDir can point to a file using either a relative or an absolute path. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator (optionally preceded by a drive specification under Windows). Relative file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the current directory.

Examples of absolute paths:

QDir(“/home/user/Documents”)
QDir(“C:/Documents and Settings”)

On Windows, the second example above will be translated to C:\Documents and Settings when used to access files.

Examples of relative paths:

QDir(“images/landscape.png”)

You can use the isRelative() or isAbsolute() functions to check if a QDir is using a relative or an absolute file path. Call makeAbsolute() to convert a relative QDir to an absolute one.

pub unsafe fn new_3a( path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, name_filter: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, sort: QFlags<SortFlag> ) -> CppBox<QDir>

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

Calls C++ function: [constructor] void QDir::QDir(const QString& path, const QString& nameFilter, QFlags<QDir::SortFlag> sort = …).

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

The default nameFilter is an empty string, which excludes nothing; the default filters is AllEntries, which also means exclude nothing. The default sort is Name | IgnoreCase, i.e. sort by name case-insensitively.

If path is an empty string, QDir uses "." (the current directory). If nameFilter is an empty string, QDir uses the name filter "*" (all files).

Note that path need not exist.

See also exists(), setPath(), setNameFilters(), setFilter(), and setSorting().

pub unsafe fn new_2a( path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, name_filter: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> ) -> CppBox<QDir>

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

Calls C++ function: [constructor] void QDir::QDir(const QString& path, const QString& nameFilter).

Constructs a QDir with path path, that filters its entries by name using nameFilter and by attributes using filters. It also sorts the names using sort.

The default nameFilter is an empty string, which excludes nothing; the default filters is AllEntries, which also means exclude nothing. The default sort is Name | IgnoreCase, i.e. sort by name case-insensitively.

If path is an empty string, QDir uses "." (the current directory). If nameFilter is an empty string, QDir uses the name filter "*" (all files).

Note that path need not exist.

See also exists(), setPath(), setNameFilters(), setFilter(), and setSorting().

pub unsafe fn new_copy(arg1: impl CastInto<Ref<QDir>>) -> CppBox<QDir>

Constructs a QDir object that is a copy of the QDir object for directory dir.

Calls C++ function: [constructor] void QDir::QDir(const QDir& arg1).

Returns the path. This may contain symbolic links, but never contains redundant ".", ".." or multiple separators.

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::path() const.

Returns the path. This may contain symbolic links, but never contains redundant “.”, “..” or multiple separators.

The returned path can be either absolute or relative (see setPath()).

See also setPath(), absolutePath(), exists(), cleanPath(), dirName(), absoluteFilePath(), toNativeSeparators(), and makeAbsolute().

pub unsafe fn refresh(&self)

Refreshes the directory information.

Calls C++ function: void QDir::refresh() const.

Refreshes the directory information.

Returns the path to fileName relative to the directory.

Calls C++ function: QString QDir::relativeFilePath(const QString& fileName) const.

Returns the path to fileName relative to the directory.


  QDir dir("/home/bob");
  QString s;

  s = dir.relativeFilePath("images/file.jpg");     // s is "images/file.jpg"
  s = dir.relativeFilePath("/home/mary/file.txt"); // s is "../mary/file.txt"

See also absoluteFilePath(), filePath(), and canonicalPath().

pub unsafe fn remove(&self, file_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> bool

Removes the file, fileName.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::remove(const QString& fileName).

Removes the file, fileName.

Returns true if the file is removed successfully; otherwise returns false.

pub unsafe fn remove_recursively(&self) -> bool

Removes the directory, including all its contents.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::removeRecursively().

Removes the directory, including all its contents.

Returns true if successful, otherwise false.

If a file or directory cannot be removed, removeRecursively() keeps going and attempts to delete as many files and sub-directories as possible, then returns false.

If the directory was already removed, the method returns true (expected result already reached).

Note: this function is meant for removing a small application-internal directory (such as a temporary directory), but not user-visible directories. For user-visible operations, it is rather recommended to report errors more precisely to the user, to offer solutions in case of errors, to show progress during the deletion since it could take several minutes, etc.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

pub unsafe fn rename( &self, old_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, new_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> ) -> bool

Renames a file or directory from oldName to newName, and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::rename(const QString& oldName, const QString& newName).

Renames a file or directory from oldName to newName, and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

On most file systems, rename() fails only if oldName does not exist, or if a file with the new name already exists. However, there are also other reasons why rename() can fail. For example, on at least one file system rename() fails if newName points to an open file.

If oldName is a file (not a directory) that can't be renamed right away, Qt will try to copy oldName to newName and remove oldName.

See also QFile::rename().

pub unsafe fn rmdir(&self, dir_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> bool

Removes the directory specified by dirName.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::rmdir(const QString& dirName) const.

Removes the directory specified by dirName.

The directory must be empty for rmdir() to succeed.

Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

See also mkdir().

pub unsafe fn rmpath(&self, dir_path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> bool

Removes the directory path dirPath.

Calls C++ function: bool QDir::rmpath(const QString& dirPath) const.

Removes the directory path dirPath.

The function will remove all parent directories in dirPath, provided that they are empty. This is the opposite of mkpath(dirPath).

Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

See also mkpath().

pub unsafe fn root() -> CppBox<QDir>

Returns the root directory.

Calls C++ function: static QDir QDir::root().

Returns the root directory.

The directory is constructed using the absolute path of the root directory, ensuring that its path() will be the same as its absolutePath().

See rootPath() for details.

See also drives(), current(), home(), and temp().

pub unsafe fn root_path() -> CppBox<QString>

Returns the absolute path of the root directory.

Calls C++ function: static QString QDir::rootPath().

Returns the absolute path of the root directory.

For Unix operating systems this returns "/". For Windows file systems this normally returns "c:/".

See also root(), drives(), currentPath(), homePath(), and tempPath().

pub unsafe fn search_paths( prefix: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> ) -> CppBox<QStringList>

Returns the search paths for prefix.

Calls C++ function: static QStringList QDir::searchPaths(const QString& prefix).

Returns the search paths for prefix.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.

See also setSearchPaths() and addSearchPath().

pub unsafe fn separator() -> CppBox<QChar>

Returns the native directory separator: "/" under Unix and "\" under Windows.

Calls C++ function: static QChar QDir::separator().

Returns the native directory separator: “/” under Unix and “" under Windows.

You do not need to use this function to build file paths. If you always use "/", Qt will translate your paths to conform to the underlying operating system. If you want to display paths to the user using their operating system's separator use toNativeSeparators().

See also listSeparator().

pub unsafe fn set_current(path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>) -> bool

Sets the application's current working directory to path. Returns true if the directory was successfully changed; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: static bool QDir::setCurrent(const QString& path).

Sets the application’s current working directory to path. Returns true if the directory was successfully changed; otherwise returns false.

See also current(), currentPath(), home(), root(), and temp().

pub unsafe fn set_filter(&self, filter: QFlags<Filter>)

Sets the filter used by entryList() and entryInfoList() to filters. The filter is used to specify the kind of files that should be returned by entryList() and entryInfoList(). See QDir::Filter.

Calls C++ function: void QDir::setFilter(QFlags<QDir::Filter> filter).

Sets the filter used by entryList() and entryInfoList() to filters. The filter is used to specify the kind of files that should be returned by entryList() and entryInfoList(). See QDir::Filter.

See also filter() and setNameFilters().

pub unsafe fn set_name_filters( &self, name_filters: impl CastInto<Ref<QStringList>> )

Sets the name filters used by entryList() and entryInfoList() to the list of filters specified by nameFilters.

Calls C++ function: void QDir::setNameFilters(const QStringList& nameFilters).

Sets the name filters used by entryList() and entryInfoList() to the list of filters specified by nameFilters.

Each name filter is a wildcard (globbing) filter that understands * and ? wildcards. (See QRegExp wildcard matching.)

For example, the following code sets three name filters on a QDir to ensure that only files with extensions typically used for C++ source files are listed:

      QStringList filters;
      filters << “.cpp” << “.cxx” << “*.cc”;
      dir.setNameFilters(filters);

See also nameFilters() and setFilter().

pub unsafe fn set_path(&self, path: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>)

Sets the path of the directory to path. The path is cleaned of redundant ".", ".." and of multiple separators. No check is made to see whether a directory with this path actually exists; but you can check for yourself using exists().

Calls C++ function: void QDir::setPath(const QString& path).

Sets the path of the directory to path. The path is cleaned of redundant “.”, “..” and of multiple separators. No check is made to see whether a directory with this path actually exists; but you can check for yourself using exists().

The path can be either absolute or relative. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator "/" (optionally preceded by a drive specification under Windows). Relative file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the current directory. An example of an absolute path is the string "/tmp/quartz", a relative path might look like "src/fatlib".

See also path(), absolutePath(), exists(), cleanPath(), dirName(), absoluteFilePath(), isRelative(), and makeAbsolute().

pub unsafe fn set_search_paths( prefix: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, search_paths: impl CastInto<Ref<QStringList>> )

Sets or replaces Qt's search paths for file names with the prefix prefix to searchPaths.

Calls C++ function: static void QDir::setSearchPaths(const QString& prefix, const QStringList& searchPaths).

Sets or replaces Qt’s search paths for file names with the prefix prefix to searchPaths.

To specify a prefix for a file name, prepend the prefix followed by a single colon (e.g., "images:undo.png", "xmldocs:books.xml"). prefix can only contain letters or numbers (e.g., it cannot contain a colon, nor a slash).

Qt uses this search path to locate files with a known prefix. The search path entries are tested in order, starting with the first entry.

QDir::setSearchPaths(“icons”, QStringList(QDir::homePath() + “/images”));
QDir::setSearchPaths(“docs”, QStringList(“:/embeddedDocuments”));
...
QPixmap pixmap(“icons:undo.png”); // will look for undo.png in QDir::homePath() + “/images”
QFile file(“docs:design.odf”); // will look in the :/embeddedDocuments resource path

File name prefix must be at least 2 characters long to avoid conflicts with Windows drive letters.

Search paths may contain paths to The Qt Resource System.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.

See also searchPaths().

pub unsafe fn set_sorting(&self, sort: QFlags<SortFlag>)

Sets the sort order used by entryList() and entryInfoList().

Calls C++ function: void QDir::setSorting(QFlags<QDir::SortFlag> sort).

Sets the sort order used by entryList() and entryInfoList().

The sort is specified by OR-ing values from the enum QDir::SortFlag.

See also sorting() and SortFlag.

pub unsafe fn sorting(&self) -> QFlags<SortFlag>

Returns the value set by setSorting()

Calls C++ function: QFlags<QDir::SortFlag> QDir::sorting() const.

Returns the value set by setSorting()

See also setSorting() and SortFlag.

pub unsafe fn swap(&self, other: impl CastInto<Ref<QDir>>)

Swaps this QDir instance with other. This function is very fast and never fails.

Calls C++ function: void QDir::swap(QDir& other).

Swaps this QDir instance with other. This function is very fast and never fails.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

pub unsafe fn temp() -> CppBox<QDir>

Returns the system's temporary directory.

Calls C++ function: static QDir QDir::temp().

Returns the system’s temporary directory.

The directory is constructed using the absolute path of the temporary directory, ensuring that its path() will be the same as its absolutePath().

See tempPath() for details.

See also drives(), current(), home(), and root().

pub unsafe fn temp_path() -> CppBox<QString>

Returns the absolute path of the system's temporary directory.

Calls C++ function: static QString QDir::tempPath().

Returns the absolute path of the system’s temporary directory.

On Unix/Linux systems this is the path in the TMPDIR environment variable or /tmp if TMPDIR is not defined. On Windows this is usually the path in the TEMP or TMP environment variable. The path returned by this method doesn't end with a directory separator unless it is the root directory (of a drive).

See also temp(), currentPath(), homePath(), and rootPath().

pub unsafe fn to_native_separators( path_name: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> ) -> CppBox<QString>

Returns pathName with the '/' separators converted to separators that are appropriate for the underlying operating system.

Calls C++ function: static QString QDir::toNativeSeparators(const QString& pathName).

Returns pathName with the ‘/’ separators converted to separators that are appropriate for the underlying operating system.

On Windows, toNativeSeparators("c:/winnt/system32") returns "c:\winnt\system32".

The returned string may be the same as the argument on some operating systems, for example on Unix.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also fromNativeSeparators() and separator().
