This is an extension library to pathname-utils, to allow dealing with common problems with filesystems, such as listing files, probing file types, determining default directories, etc.

This package provides a function to convert a file: URI to a file path. It accepts a file: URI and returns a file path suitable for use with the fs module functions.

Super simple cache for file metadata, useful for process that work o a given series of files and that only need to repeat the job on the changed ones since the previous run of the process

This bundle provides a collection of model .ini files for creating TeX formats. These files are commonly used to introduced distribution-dependent variations in formats. They are also used to allow existing format source files to be used with newer engines, for example to adapt the plain e-TeX source file to work with XeTeX and LuaTeX.

This software allows you to verify wheel filenames and parse them into their component fields.

This package adheres strictly to the standard, with the following exceptions:

• Version components may be any sequence of the relevant set of characters; they are not verified for PEP 440 compliance.

• The .whl file extension is matched case-insensitively.

The canonical way to determine the size of a file in bytes, using Common Lisp, is to open the file with an element type of (unsigned-byte 8) and then calculate the length of the stream. This is less than ideal. In most cases it is better to get the size of the file from its metadata, using a system call.

This library exports a single function, file-size-in-octets. It returns the size of a file in bytes, using system calls when possible.

This package contains a parser and a pretty-printer for the opam file format.

This module provides a class to monitor a directory for changes made to any file.

The NUMPY-FILE-FORMAT library is a Common Lisp library for reading and writing NumPy .npy and .npz files.

File::DesktopEntry parses .desktop files defined by the Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry specification. It can also run the applications define in those files.

Package fileutil collects some file utility functions.

Test::File::Contents provides functions for testing the contents of files.

File::ShareDir::Dist finds share directories for distributions. It is a companion module to File::ShareDir.

This package provides a drop-in replacement for the standard filepath library, operating on RawFilePath values rather than FilePath values to get the speed benefits of using ByteStrings.

Test::File::ShareDir is some low level plumbing to enable a distribution to perform tests while consuming its own share directories in a manner similar to how they will be once installed.

This module reads a file backwards line by line. It is simple to use, memory efficient and fast. It supports both an object and a tied handle interface.

It is intended for processing log and other similar text files which typically have their newest entries appended to them. By default files are assumed to be plain text and have a line ending appropriate to the OS. But you can set the input record separator string on a per file basis.

The package provides two environments called filecontentsdef and filecontentshere. They are derived from the LaTeX filecontents environment. In addition to the file creation they either store the (verbatim) contents in a macro (filecontentsdef) or typeset them (verbatim) on the spot (filecontentshere). The author developed the package to display TeX code verbatim in documentation and the same time produce the corresponding files during the LaTeX run in order to embed them in the PDF as file attachment annotations (by using Scott Pakin's package attachfile).

This module has 3 functions: one to copy files only, one to copy directories only, and one to do either depending on the argument's type.
