.SH "NAME"
zfile \- provides methods to work with files in a portable fashion\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
// This is a stable class, and may not change except for emergencies\&. It
// is provided in stable builds\&.
// If file exists, populates properties\&. CZMQ supports portable symbolic
// links, which are files with the extension "\&.ln"\&. A symbolic link is a
// text file containing one line, the filename of a target file\&. Reading
// data from the symbolic link actually reads from the target file\&. Path
// may be NULL, in which case it is not used\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT zfile_t *
zfile_new (const char *path, const char *name);
// Destroy a file item
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zfile_destroy (zfile_t **self_p);
// Duplicate a file item, returns a newly constructed item\&. If the file
// is null, or memory was exhausted, returns null\&.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT zfile_t *
zfile_dup (zfile_t *self);
// Return file name, remove path if provided
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
zfile_filename (zfile_t *self, const char *path);
// Refresh file properties from disk; this is not done automatically
// on access methods, otherwise it is not possible to compare directory
// snapshots\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zfile_restat (zfile_t *self);
// Return when the file was last modified\&. If you want this to reflect the
// current situation, call zfile_restat before checking this property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT time_t
zfile_modified (zfile_t *self);
// Return the last\-known size of the file\&. If you want this to reflect the
// current situation, call zfile_restat before checking this property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT off_t
zfile_cursize (zfile_t *self);
// Return true if the file is a directory\&. If you want this to reflect
// any external changes, call zfile_restat before checking this property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_is_directory (zfile_t *self);
// Return true if the file is a regular file\&. If you want this to reflect
// any external changes, call zfile_restat before checking this property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_is_regular (zfile_t *self);
// Return true if the file is readable by this process\&. If you want this to
// reflect any external changes, call zfile_restat before checking this
// property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_is_readable (zfile_t *self);
// Return true if the file is writeable by this process\&. If you want this
// to reflect any external changes, call zfile_restat before checking this
// property\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_is_writeable (zfile_t *self);
// Check if file has stopped changing and can be safely processed\&.
// Updates the file statistics from disk at every call\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_is_stable (zfile_t *self);
// Return true if the file was changed on disk since the zfile_t object
// was created, or the last zfile_restat() call made on it\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_has_changed (zfile_t *self);
// Remove the file from disk
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zfile_remove (zfile_t *self);
// Open file for reading
// Returns 0 if OK, \-1 if not found or not accessible
CZMQ_EXPORT int
zfile_input (zfile_t *self);
// Open file for writing, creating directory if needed
// File is created if necessary; chunks can be written to file at any
// location\&. Returns 0 if OK, \-1 if error\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
zfile_output (zfile_t *self);
// Read chunk from file at specified position\&. If this was the last chunk,
// sets the eof property\&. Returns a null chunk in case of error\&.
// Caller owns return value and must destroy it when done\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT zchunk_t *
zfile_read (zfile_t *self, size_t bytes, off_t offset);
// Returns true if zfile_read() just read the last chunk in the file\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT bool
zfile_eof (zfile_t *self);
// Write chunk to file at specified position
// Return 0 if OK, else \-1
CZMQ_EXPORT int
zfile_write (zfile_t *self, zchunk_t *chunk, off_t offset);
// Read next line of text from file\&. Returns a pointer to the text line,
// or NULL if there was nothing more to read from the file\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
zfile_readln (zfile_t *self);
// Close file, if open
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zfile_close (zfile_t *self);
// Return file handle, if opened
CZMQ_EXPORT FILE *
zfile_handle (zfile_t *self);
// Calculate SHA1 digest for file, using zdigest class\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
zfile_digest (zfile_t *self);
// Self test of this class\&.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
zfile_test (bool verbose);
// These methods are deprecated, and now moved to zsys class\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The zfile class provides methods to work with disk files\&. A file object provides the modified date, current size, and type of the file\&. You can create a file object for a filename that does not yet exist\&. To read or write data from the file, use the input and output methods, and then read and write chunks\&. The output method lets you both read and write chunks, at any offset\&. Finally, this class provides portable symbolic links\&. If a filename ends in "\&.ln", the first line of text in the file is read, and used as the underlying file for read/write operations\&. This lets you manipulate (e\&.g\&.) copy symbolic links without copying the perhaps very large files they point to\&.
.sp
This class is a new API, deprecating the old zfile class (which still exists but is implemented in zsys now)\&.
