FileSystem

A file system abstraction which can retrieve files, either absolutely or relative to a working directory.

Properties

Whether this file system is the root one.

abstract val root: FileSystem?

The root file system that originated this one via branch calls. If null, this file system is the root.

The working directory of this file system. If not null, resolve will be able to resolve relative paths from this directory.

abstract fun branch(workingDirectory: File?): FileSystem

Creates a new FileSystem branched from this one, with the given workingDirectory.

Computes the relative path from this file system's workingDirectory to other's.

abstract fun resolve(path: String): File

Resolves a local file path, either absolutely or relatively from workingDirectory. This does not perform any check for file existence.
