<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents in a platform-independent way.
<p>
<p> A QDir is used to manipulate path names, access information
regarding paths and files, and manipulate the underlying file
system.
<p> A QDir can point to a file using either a relative or an absolute
path. Absolute paths begin with the directory separator "/"
(optionally preceded by a drive specification under Windows). If
you always use "/" as a directory separator, Qt will translate
your paths to conform to the underlying operating system. Relative
file names begin with a directory name or a file name and specify
a path relative to the current directory.
<p> The "current" path refers to the application's working directory.
A QDir's own path is set and retrieved with <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>() and <a href="#path">path</a>().
<p> An example of an absolute path is the string "/tmp/quartz", a
relative path might look like "src/fatlib". You can use the
function <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>() to check if a QDir is using a relative or an
absolute file path. Call <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>() to convert a relative QDir
to an absolute one. For a simplified path use <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(). To
obtain a path which has no symbolic links or redundant ".."
elements use <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>(). The path can be set with setPath(),
and changed with <a href="#cd">cd</a>() and <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>().
<p> QDir provides several static functions, for example, <a href="#setCurrent">setCurrent</a>()
to set the application's working directory and <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>() to
retrieve the application's working directory. Access to some
common paths is provided with the static functions, <a href="#current">current</a>(),
<a href="#home">home</a>() and <a href="#root">root</a>() which return QDir objects or currentDirPath(),
<a href="#homeDirPath">homeDirPath</a>() and <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>() which return the path as a string.
If you want to know about your application's path use
<a href="qapplication.html#applicationDirPath">QApplication::applicationDirPath</a>().
<p> The number of entries in a directory is returned by <a href="#count">count</a>().
Obtain a string list of the names of all the files and directories
in a directory with <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>(). If you prefer a list of <a href="qfileinfo.html">QFileInfo</a>
pointers use <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). Both these functions can apply a
name filter, an attributes filter (e.g. read-only, files not
directories, etc.), and a sort order. The filters and sort may be
set with calls to <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>(), <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>() and <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>().
They may also be specified in the entryList() and
entryInfoList()'s arguments.
<p> Create a new directory with <a href="#mkdir">mkdir</a>(), rename a directory with
<a href="#rename">rename</a>() and remove an existing directory with <a href="#rmdir">rmdir</a>(). Remove a
file with <a href="#remove">remove</a>(). You can interrogate a directory with <a href="#exists">exists</a>(),
<a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>() and <a href="#isRoot">isRoot</a>().
<p> To get a path with a filename use <a href="#filePath">filePath</a>(), and to get a
directory name use <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(); neither of these functions checks
for the existence of the file or directory.
<p> The list of root directories is provided by <a href="#drives">drives</a>(); on Unix
systems this returns a list containing one root directory, "/"; on
Windows the list will usually contain "C:/", and possibly "D:/",
etc.
<p> It is easiest to work with "/" separators in Qt code. If you need
to present a path to the user or need a path in a form suitable
for a function in the underlying operating system use
<a href="#convertSeparators">convertSeparators</a>().
<p> Examples:
<p> See if a directory exists.
<pre>
QDir d( "example" ); // "./example"
if ( !d.<a href="#exists">exists</a>() )
<a href="qapplication.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>( "Cannot find the example directory" );
</pre>
<p> Traversing directories and reading a file.
<pre>
QDir d = QDir::<a href="#root">root</a>(); // "/"
if ( !d.<a href="#cd">cd</a>("tmp") ) { // "/tmp"
<a href="qapplication.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>( "Cannot find the \"/tmp\" directory" );
} else {
<a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> f( d.<a href="#filePath">filePath</a>("ex1.txt") ); // "/tmp/ex1.txt"
if ( !f.<a href="qfile.html#open">open</a>(IO_ReadWrite) )
<a href="qapplication.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>( "Cannot create the file %s", f.<a href="qfile.html#name">name</a>() );
}
</pre>
<p> A program that lists all the files in the current directory
(excluding symbolic links), sorted by size, smallest first:
<pre>
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;<a href="qdir-h.html">qdir.h</a>&gt;
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QDir d;
d.<a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>( QDir::<a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Files</a> | QDir::<a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Hidden</a> | QDir::<a href="#FilterSpec-enum">NoSymLinks</a> );
d.<a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>( QDir::<a href="#SortSpec-enum">Size</a> | QDir::<a href="#SortSpec-enum">Reversed</a> );
const QFileInfoList *list = d.<a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>();
QFileInfoListIterator it( *list );
<a href="qfileinfo.html">QFileInfo</a> *fi;
printf( " Bytes Filename\n" );
while ( (fi = it.current()) != 0 ) {
printf( "%10li %s\n", fi-&gt;<a href="qfileinfo.html#size">size</a>(), fi-&gt;<a href="qfileinfo.html#fileName">fileName</a>().latin1() );
++it;
}
return 0;
}
</pre>

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="FilterSpec-enum"></a>QDir::FilterSpec</h3>
<p> This enum describes the filtering options available to QDir, e.g.
for <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). The filter value is specified
by OR-ing together values from the following list:
<ul>
<li><tt>QDir::Dirs</tt> - List directories only.
<li><tt>QDir::Files</tt> - List files only.
<li><tt>QDir::Drives</tt> - List disk drives (ignored under Unix).
<li><tt>QDir::NoSymLinks</tt> - Do not list symbolic links (ignored by operating
systems that don't support symbolic links).
<li><tt>QDir::All</tt> - List directories, files, drives and symlinks (this does not list
broken symlinks unless you specify System).
<li><tt>QDir::TypeMask</tt> - A mask for the the Dirs, Files, Drives and
NoSymLinks flags.
<li><tt>QDir::Readable</tt> - List files for which the application has read access.
<li><tt>QDir::Writable</tt> - List files for which the application has write access.
<li><tt>QDir::Executable</tt> - List files for which the application has execute
access. Executables needs to be combined with Dirs or Files.
<li><tt>QDir::RWEMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable and Executable flags.
<li><tt>QDir::Modified</tt> - Only list files that have been modified (ignored
under Unix).
<li><tt>QDir::Hidden</tt> - List hidden files (on Unix, files starting with a .).
<li><tt>QDir::System</tt> - List system files (on Unix, FIFOs, sockets and
device files)
<li><tt>QDir::AccessMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable, Executable
Modified, Hidden and System flags
<li><tt>QDir::DefaultFilter</tt> - Internal flag.
</ul><p> If you do not set any of <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Readable</a>, <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Writable</a> or <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">Executable</a>, QDir will set all three of them. This makes the
default easy to write and at the same time useful.
<p> Examples: <tt>Readable|Writable</tt> means list all files for which the
application has read access, write access or both. <tt>Dirs|Drives</tt>
means list drives, directories, all files that the application can
read, write or execute, and also symlinks to such
files/directories.
<h3 class=fn><a name="SortSpec-enum"></a>QDir::SortSpec</h3>
<p> This enum describes the sort options available to QDir, e.g. for
<a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>(). The sort value is specified by
OR-ing together values from the following list:
<ul>
<li><tt>QDir::Name</tt> - Sort by name.
<li><tt>QDir::Time</tt> - Sort by time (modification time).
<li><tt>QDir::Size</tt> - Sort by file size.
<li><tt>QDir::Unsorted</tt> - Do not sort.
<li><tt>QDir::SortByMask</tt> - A mask for Name, Time and Size.
<li><tt>QDir::DirsFirst</tt> - Put the directories first, then the files.
<li><tt>QDir::Reversed</tt> - Reverse the sort order.
<li><tt>QDir::IgnoreCase</tt> - Sort case-insensitively.
<li><tt>QDir::LocaleAware</tt> - Sort names using locale aware compares
<li><tt>QDir::DefaultSort</tt> - Internal flag.
</ul><p> You can only specify one of the first four.
<p> If you specify both <a href="#SortSpec-enum">DirsFirst</a> and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">Reversed</a>, directories are
still put first, but in reverse order; the files will be listed
after the directories, again in reverse order.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QDir"></a>QDir::QDir ()
</h3>
Constructs a QDir pointing to the current directory (".").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="QDir-2"></a>QDir::QDir ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;path, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;nameFilter = QString::null, int&nbsp;sortSpec = Name | IgnoreCase, int&nbsp;filterSpec = All )
</h3>
Constructs a QDir with path <em>path</em>, that filters its entries by
name using <em>nameFilter</em> and by attributes using <em>filterSpec</em>. It
also sorts the names using <em>sortSpec</em>.
<p> The default <em>nameFilter</em> is an empty string, which excludes
nothing; the default <em>filterSpec</em> is <a href="#FilterSpec-enum">All</a>, which also means
exclude nothing. The default <em>sortSpec</em> is <tt>Name|IgnoreCase</tt>,
i.e. sort by name case-insensitively.
<p> Example that lists all the files in "/tmp":
<pre>
QDir d( "/tmp" );
for ( int i = 0; i &lt; d.<a href="#count">count</a>(); i++ )
printf( "%s\n", d[i] );
</pre>
<p> If <em>path</em> is "" or <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>, QDir uses "." (the current
directory). If <em>nameFilter</em> is "" or QString::null, QDir uses the
name filter "*" (all files).
<p> Note that <em>path</em> need not exist.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>(), <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>(), <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>(), and <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="QDir-3"></a>QDir::QDir ( const&nbsp;<a href="qdir.html">QDir</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;d )
</h3>
Constructs a QDir that is a copy of the directory <em>d</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#operator-eq">operator=</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QDir"></a>QDir::~QDir ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Destroys the QDir frees up its resources.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="absFilePath"></a>QDir::absFilePath ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, bool&nbsp;acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the absolute path name of a file in the directory. Does <em>not</em> check if the file actually exists in the directory. Redundant
multiple separators or "." and ".." directories in <em>fileName</em>
will not be removed (see <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>()).
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a <em>fileName</em> starting with a
separator "/" will be returned without change. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em>
is FALSE an absolute path will be prepended to the fileName and
the resultant string returned.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#filePath">filePath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="absPath"></a>QDir::absPath () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the absolute path (a path that starts with "/" or with a
drive specification), which may contain symbolic links, but never
contains redundant ".", ".." or multiple separators.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPath">setPath</a>(), <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(), <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(), and <a href="#absFilePath">absFilePath</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x810">fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="canonicalPath"></a>QDir::canonicalPath () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the canonical path, i.e. a path without symbolic links or
redundant "." or ".." elements.
<p> On systems that do not have symbolic links this function will
always return the same string that <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>() returns. If the
canonical path does not exist (normally due to dangling symbolic
links) <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>() returns <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#path">path</a>(), <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), <a href="#cleanDirPath">cleanDirPath</a>(), <a href="#dirName">dirName</a>(), <a href="#absFilePath">absFilePath</a>(), and <a href="qstring.html#isNull">QString::isNull</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="cd"></a>QDir::cd ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;dirName, bool&nbsp;acceptAbsPath = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes the QDir's directory to <em>dirName</em>.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with separator "/"
will cause the function to change to the absolute directory. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning
of <em>dirName</em> will be removed and the function will descend into
<em>dirName</em>.
<p> Returns TRUE if the new directory exists and is readable;
otherwise returns FALSE. Note that the logical <a href="#cd">cd</a>() operation is
not performed if the new directory does not exist.
<p> Calling cd( ".." ) is equivalent to calling <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>(), <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), and <a href="#path">path</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x883">fileiconview/mainwindow.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="cdUp"></a>QDir::cdUp ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes directory by moving one directory up from the QDir's
current directory.
<p> Returns TRUE if the new directory exists and is readable;
otherwise returns FALSE. Note that the logical <a href="#cdUp">cdUp</a>() operation is
not performed if the new directory does not exist.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cd">cd</a>(), <a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#exists">exists</a>(), and <a href="#path">path</a>().

</h3>
Removes all multiple directory separators "/" and resolves any
"."s or ".."s found in the path, <em>filePath</em>.
<p> Symbolic links are kept. This function does not return the
canonical path, but rather the simplest version of the input.
For example, "./local" becomes "local", "local/../bin" becomes
"bin" and "/local/usr/../bin" becomes "/local/bin".

<p> The path can be either absolute or relative. Absolute paths begin
with the directory separator "/" (optionally preceded by a drive
specification under Windows). Relative file names begin with a
directory name or a file name and specify a path relative to the
current directory. An example of an absolute path is the string
"/tmp/quartz", a relative path might look like "src/fatlib".
