Hello, Short story: does Qt 4 have an analog of Python's os.path.join? Long story: I need to add a relative path to the application directory, QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() in the Right Way (TM), so that the code doesn't depend on the file system directory separator character. Is merely joining QStrings and using "/" as the s...

And also if possible to set and unset the bits manually. Please help. Thank you this is the layout of the minix file system ----------------...
I want to know what information is contained in the NTFS metadata. But I couldn't find the paper anywhere. I guess the metadata has a filename, a size and an attributes etc. Has NTFS metadata also got a Shortpath name? What information is contained in the NTFS metadata? Do you know a good site or a page about this? If you do, please le...
I know that in inodes that represent files, the name it's not in the inode struct. All files are identified in the UFS by its inode-number. I know how it works an inode struct in a file... it has all the info plus some pointers to HD blocks that contains the file data. But I don't know much about how directories are represented as inod...
I know. Heresy. But I'm in a bind. I have a lot of config files that use absolute path names, which creates an incompatibility between OS X and Windows. If I can get OS X (which I'm betting is the more flexible of the two) to recognize "Q:/foo/bar/bim.properties" as a valid absolute file name, it'll save me days of work spelunking th...
PHP lacks any specific function to fsync on a file AFAIK. I do however feel the urge to fsync a logfile I am appending to from PHP. Is there any native PHP function known to cause an fsync? Or any workaround? ...

if I have a file test.py that resides in some directory, how can I find out from test.py what directory it is in? os.path.curdir will give the current directory but not the directory where the file lives. If I invoke test.py from some directory "foo", os.curdir will return foo but not the path of test.py. thanks. ...
I am looking for a fast way to find the number of files in a directory on Linux. Any solution that takes linear time in the number of files in the directory is NOT acceptable (e.g. "ls | wc -l" and similar things) because it would take a prohibitively long amount of time (there are tens or maybe hundreds of millions of files in the dire...
Until today, I assumed that Windows CE was writing everything to disk and I wouldn't end up with a broken FAT16 when I removed the USB stick. Today, I was proven wrong. I use a USB stick to test things on a WinCE 5.0 device. I don't write anything from the app or WinCE to the stick. I just execute my app, and my app reads its settings a...
Background My board incorporated an STM32 microcontroller with an SD/MMC card on SPI and samples analogue data at 48ksps. I am using the Keil Real-time Library RTX kernel, and ELM FatFs I have a high priority task that captures analogue data via DMA in blocks of 40 samples (40 x 16bit); the data is passed via a queue of length 128 (wh...
Hello everybody, I need to disable all the aspects of functionality which access the client file system in a flash/flex application. I started having a look on how to do this. It appears that the package flash.filesystem need to be importated to allow the interaction with the file system. However, I did not find any reference to this p...
I am comparing fusepy , Java based NFS server and native. I see that native file system is 4 times faster and surprisingly Java based NFS server is twice faster compared fusepy based loopback system. Any tips to improve the performance of file systems written based on fusepy or fuse-python. I am running them on linux kernel 2.6.9 and fus...
I'm presently writing a filesystem. The statvfs (and even the statfs) structs contain a field specifying the maximum length of a name in that path. As PATH_MAX is defined in the pathconf manpage (getconf), this means it is defined on a per-directory basis (and thus, determined by the underlying filesystem). How does one specify this valu...
On the surface, this is pretty simple, and I could implement it myself easily. Just successively call dirname() to go up each level in the file's path and check each one to see if it's the directory we're checking for. But symlinks throw the whole thing into chaos. Any directory along the path of either the file or directory being che...
I would like to list available directories and text files in specific directories recursively in Matlab command window (and ultimately in an m-file). I know commands like ls are available, but I would like to know the text files available in a string or vector before I recursively read each text file in the following file system structur...
Hi, I have written a backend for creating ftp-users for proftpd via MySQL-module. After deleting a user from database some OS-specific tasks are left: deleting or moving the files of the user on file system level ("rm -R /home/dir/of/deleted/user"). The backend runs under linux user A, the ftp root belongs to user B. Therefore and for ...
I need to find out who created a file using .NET I have already tried the following: string FileLocation = @"C:\test.txt"; FileInfo droppedFile = new FileInfo(FileLocation); FileSecurity fileSecurity = droppedFile.GetAccessControl(); IdentityReference identityReference = fileSecurity.GetOwner(typeof(NTAccount)); string userName = ident...

In PHP I'm receiving a string from the user for a local file directory $path I want to know if they've included the trailing slash (/) or not. I would like this to be cross platform so I'd like to use the PHP constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR My failed attempts include trying to do a preg_match like preg_match("/" . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ...
