Constants

const (
	F_OFD_GETLK  = 37
	F_OFD_SETLK  = 37
	F_OFD_SETLKW = 38
)

This used to call syscall.Flock() but that call fails with EBADF on NFS. An alternative is lockf() which works on NFS but that call lets a process lock the same file twice. Instead, use Linux's non-standard open file descriptor locks which will block if the process already holds the file lock.

Variables

	ErrLocked = errors.New("fileutil: file already locked")
)

Functions

func Exist

func Exist(name string) bool

func Fdatasync

func Fdatasync(f *os.File) error

Fdatasync is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

func IsDirWriteable

func IsDirWriteable(dir string) error

IsDirWriteable checks if dir is writable by writing and removing a file to dir. It returns nil if dir is writable.

func Preallocate

func Preallocate(f *os.File, sizeInBytes int64, extendFile bool) error

Preallocate tries to allocate the space for given file. This operation is only supported on linux by a few filesystems (btrfs, ext4, etc.). If the operation is unsupported, no error will be returned. Otherwise, the error encountered will be returned.

func PurgeFile

func PurgeFile(dirname string, suffix string, max uint, interval time.Duration, stop <-chan struct{}) <-chan error

func ReadDir

func ReadDir(dirpath string) ([]string, error)

ReadDir returns the filenames in the given directory in sorted order.

func TouchDirAll

func TouchDirAll(dir string) error

TouchDirAll is similar to os.MkdirAll. It creates directories with 0700 permission if any directory does not exists. TouchDirAll also ensures the given directory is writable.

Types

type LockedFile

type LockedFile struct{ *os.File }

func LockFile

func LockFile(path string, flag int, perm os.FileMode) (*LockedFile, error)

func TryLockFile

func TryLockFile(path string, flag int, perm os.FileMode) (*LockedFile, error)
