Modern Fs FileInfo HasOwner

Home › Filesystem › Filesystem Library › FileInfo.HasOwner

FileInfo.HasOwner

Returns true if OwnerUid and OwnerGid are filled in: on Linux and macOS, not on Windows.

Syntax

FileInfo.HasOwner( )

Notes

• TRUE on POSIX, where OwnerUid and OwnerGid hold the file's user and group ids. FALSE on Windows, whose owners are security identifiers this library does not model.

Examples

#import "std/fs"
#import "std/chrono"
using fs

dim as ustring dir_ = CreateTempDir( "tkdoc" ).Value( )
dim as ustring p = PathJoin( dir_, "f.txt" )
WriteAllText( p, "x" )
dim as FileInfo fi = Stat( p ).Value( )
#ifdef __FB_WIN32__
print fi.HasOwner( )    '' false
#else
print fi.HasOwner( )    '' true
#endif

RemoveDirAll( dir_ )
