NAME
File::Listing - Parse directory listing
VERSION
version 6.15
SYNOPSIS
use File::Listing qw(parse_dir);
$ENV{LANG} = "C"; # dates in non-English locales not supported
foreach my $file (parse_dir(`ls -l`)) {
my ($name, $type, $size, $mtime, $mode) = @$file;
next if $type ne 'f'; # plain file
#...
}
# directory listing can also be read from a file
open my $listing, "zcat ls-lR.gz|";
$dir = parse_dir($listing, '+0000');
DESCRIPTION
This module exports a single function called "parse_dir", which can be
used to parse directory listings.
FUNCTIONS
parse_dir
my $dir = parse_dir( $listing );
my $dir = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone );
my $dir = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone, $type );
my $dir = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone, $type, $error );
my @files = parse_dir( $listing );
my @files = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone );
my @files = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone, $type );
my @files = parse_dir( $listing, $time_zone, $type, $error );
The first parameter ($listing) is the directory listing to parse. It
can be a scalar, a reference to an array of directory lines or a glob
representing a filehandle to read the directory listing from.
The second parameter ($time_zone) is the time zone to use when parsing
time stamps in the listing. If this value is undefined, then the local
time zone is assumed.
The third parameter ($type) is the type of listing to assume.
Currently supported formats are 'unix', 'apache' and 'dosftp'. The
default value is 'unix'. Ideally, the listing type should be determined
automatically.
The fourth parameter ($error) specifies how unparseable lines should be
treated. Values can be 'ignore', 'warn' or a code reference. Warn
means that the perl warn() function will be called. If a code
reference is passed, then this routine will be called and the return
value from it will be incorporated in the listing. The default is
'ignore'.
Only the first parameter is mandatory.
# list context
foreach my $file (parse_dir($listing)) {
my($name, $type, $size, $mtime, $mode) = @$file;
}
# scalar context
my $dir = parse_dir($listing);
foreach my $file (@$dir) {
my($name, $type, $size, $mtime, $mode) = @$file;
}
The return value from parse_dir() is a list of directory entries. In a
scalar context the return value is a reference to the list. The
directory entries are represented by an array consisting of:
name
The name of the file.
type
One of: "f" file, "d" directory, "l" symlink, "?" unknown.
size
The size of the file.
time
The number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
mode
Bitmask a la the mode returned by "stat".
SEE ALSO
File::Listing::Ftpcopy
Provides the same interface but uses XS and the parser
implementation from "ftpcopy".
