Detailed Description

Provide access to file data and metadata.

This module contains classes and non-member functions that deal with filesystem operations. Specifically, it aims to:

• Allow access to file data in a manner compatible with Asio and the Networking TS.
  • This includes support for Asio's *Stream type requirements (SyncReadStream, SyncRandomAccessReadDevice, ...)
  • as well as an asynchronous I/O interface for files (asioext::basic_file), with several underlying implementations:
    • asioext::thread_pool_file_service : Blocking I/O operations are performed on the thread-pool.
• Provide accessors and modifiers for file metadata, including:
  • File size
  • File permissions
  • File attributes
  • File time info (ctime, mtime, ...)
• Utilities for reading/writing files:
  • asioext::read_file
  • asioext::write_file
