NAME Setup::File - Setup file (existence, mode, permission, content) VERSION This document describes version 0.23 of Setup::File (from Perl distribution Setup-File), released on 2017-07-10. FUNCTIONS chmod Usage: chmod(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Set file's permission mode. Fixed state: "path" exists and mode is already correct. Fixable state: "path" exists but mode is not correct. Unfixable state: "path" doesn't exist. This function is not exported. This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports transactions. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * follow_symlink => *bool* (default: 0) Whether to follow symlink. * mode* => *str* Permission mode, either numeric or symbolic (e.g. a+w). * orig_mode => *int* If set, confirm if current mode is not the same as this. * path* => *str* Path to file/directory. Special arguments: * -tx_action => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_action_id => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_recovery => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_rollback => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_v => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) chown Usage: chown(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Set file's ownership. Fixed state: "path" exists and ownership is already correct. Fixable state: "path" exists but ownership is not correct. Unfixable state: "path" doesn't exist. This function is not exported. This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports transactions. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * follow_symlink => *bool* (default: 0) Whether to follow symlink. * group => *str* Numeric GID or group. * orig_group => *str* If set, confirm if current group is not the same as this. * orig_owner => *str* If set, confirm if current owner is not the same as this. * owner => *str* Numeric UID or username. * path* => *str* Path to file/directory. Special arguments: * -tx_action => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_action_id => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_recovery => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_rollback => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction. * -tx_v => *str* For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction.

On do, will create directory (if it doesn't already exist) and fix its mode/permission. On undo, will restore old mode/permission (and delete directory if it is empty and was created by this function). If directory was created by this function but is not empty, will return status 331 to ask for confirmation ("-confirm"). If confirmation is set to true, will delete non-empty directory. Will *not* create intermediate directories like "mkdir -p". Create intermediate directories using several setup_dir() invocation. This function is not exported. This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports transactions. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * allow_symlink => *bool* (default: 1) Whether symlink is allowed.

Return value: (any) setup_file Usage: setup_file(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Setup file (existence, mode, permission, content). On do, will create file (if it doesn't already exist) and correct mode/permission as well as content. On undo, will restore old mode/permission/content, or delete the file again if it was created by this function *and* its content hasn't changed since (if content/ownership/mode has changed, function will request confirmation). This function is not exported by default, but exportable. This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports transactions. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * allow_symlink => *bool* (default: 1) Whether symlink is allowed.

If set, function will be called whenever file content needs to be checked. Function will be passed the reference to file content and should return a boolean value indicating whether content is acceptable. If it returns a false value, content is deemed unacceptable and needs to be fixed. Alternatively you can use the simpler "content" argument. * content => *str* Desired file content. Alternatively you can also use "content_md5", or "check_content_func" and "gen_content_func". * gen_content_func => *str* Name of function to generate content. If set, whenever a new file content is needed (e.g. when file is created or file content reset), this function will be called to provide it. If unset, empty string will be used instead. Function will be passed the reference to the current content (or undef) and should return the new content. Alternatively you can use the simpler "content" argument. * group => *str* Expected group (either numeric or group name). * mode => *str* Expected permission mode. Mode is as supported by File::chmod.

Return value: (any) FAQ Why not allowing coderef in 'check_content_func' and 'gen_content_func' argument? Because transactional function needs to store its argument in database (currently in JSON), coderefs are not representable in JSON. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
