10 File and path utilities
Utilities for manipulating files and paths.
Determines whether path2 is a subpath of path1.

| (make-directory-tree tree) → void? |
| tree : folders-spec |
Creates a directory tree in the current directory that matches tree, which is a tree of strings of type folders-spec:
folders-spec ::= (listof folder-spec) |
folder-spec ::= string folders-spec |
tree-spec For example, the code:
(make-directory-tree '("a" ("b" "c" ("d"))))
would create the directory tree:
/a |
/a/b |
/a/c |
/a/c/d |
Any existing directories in the tree are left intact.
Returns a filename that is guaranteed to not conflict with the names of any files in path. For example:
would return:
"myfile.txt" if "myfile.txt" doesn’t exist in "mydir";
"myfile1.txt" if "myfile.txt" does exist in "mydir";
"myfile2.txt" if "myfile.txt" and "myfile1.txt" both exist in "mydir";
and so on...
Like make-non-conflicting-filename but returns:
Reads the contents of file into a string. See the port.plt collection on PLaneT for more advanced functions along these lines.
| (concatenate-files dest sources) → void? |
| dest : (U path? string?) |
| sources : (listof (U path? string?)) |
Concatenates (appends) the contents of sources and writes the result to dest.

| path : (U path? string?) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| order : (U 'pre 'post) = 'pre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| filter : (path? -> boolean?) = (lambda (path) #t) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| follow-links? : boolean? = #t |
Returns a list of absolute paths of all matching files/directories/links in path or subdirectories thereof.
The order argument specifies whether the directory tree should be traversed in pre- or post-order; the filter argument specifies a predicate which returned results much match; the follow-links? argument specifies whether links to directories should be treated as directories or atomic files.

| path : (U path? string?) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| order : (U 'pre 'post) = 'pre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| filter : (path? -> boolean?) = (lambda (path) #t) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| follow-links? : boolean? = #t |
A wrapper for directory-tree that returns a sequence that is compatible with for and its equivalents.
Returns the size of file, formatted in a humane way. See perttify-file-size for examples.
| (prettify-file-size size) → string? |
| size : natural? |
Like file-pretty-size but takes the size of the file as an integer.
