<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQDir class provides access to directory structures and their contents in a platform-independent way.
<p>
<p> A TQDir is used to manipulate path names, access information
regarding paths and files, and manipulate the underlying file
system.
<p> A TQDir 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, TQt 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 TQDir'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 TQDir is using a relative or an
absolute file path. Call <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>() to convert a relative TQDir
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> TQDir 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 TQDir 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="ntqapplication.html#applicationDirPath">TQApplication::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="tqfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</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 TQt 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>
TQDir d( "example" ); // "./example"
if ( !d.<a href="#exists">exists</a>() )
<a href="ntqapplication.html#qWarning">tqWarning</a>( "Cannot find the example directory" );
</pre>
<p> Traversing directories and reading a file.
<pre>
TQDir d = TQDir::<a href="#root">root</a>(); // "/"
if ( !d.<a href="#cd">cd</a>("tmp") ) { // "/tmp"
<a href="ntqapplication.html#qWarning">tqWarning</a>( "Cannot find the \"/tmp\" directory" );
} else {
<a href="tqfile.html">TQFile</a> f( d.<a href="#filePath">filePath</a>("ex1.txt") ); // "/tmp/ex1.txt"

<a href="ntqapplication.html#qWarning">tqWarning</a>( "Cannot create the file %s", f.<a href="tqfile.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:

<h3 class=fn><a name="FilterSpec-enum"></a>TQDir::FilterSpec</h3>
<p> This enum describes the filtering options available to TQDir, 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>TQDir::Dirs</tt> - List directories only.
<li><tt>TQDir::Files</tt> - List files only.
<li><tt>TQDir::Drives</tt> - List disk drives (ignored under Unix).
<li><tt>TQDir::NoSymLinks</tt> - Do not list symbolic links (ignored by operating
systems that don't support symbolic links).
<li><tt>TQDir::All</tt> - List directories, files, drives and symlinks (this does not list
broken symlinks unless you specify System).
<li><tt>TQDir::TypeMask</tt> - A mask for the the Dirs, Files, Drives and
NoSymLinks flags.
<li><tt>TQDir::Readable</tt> - List files for which the application has read access.
<li><tt>TQDir::Writable</tt> - List files for which the application has write access.
<li><tt>TQDir::Executable</tt> - List files for which the application has execute
access. Executables needs to be combined with Dirs or Files.
<li><tt>TQDir::RWEMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable and Executable flags.
<li><tt>TQDir::Modified</tt> - Only list files that have been modified (ignored
under Unix).
<li><tt>TQDir::Hidden</tt> - List hidden files (on Unix, files starting with a .).
<li><tt>TQDir::System</tt> - List system files (on Unix, FIFOs, sockets and
device files)
<li><tt>TQDir::AccessMask</tt> - A mask for the Readable, Writable, Executable
Modified, Hidden and System flags
<li><tt>TQDir::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>, TQDir 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>TQDir::SortSpec</h3>
<p> This enum describes the sort options available to TQDir, 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>TQDir::Name</tt> - Sort by name.
<li><tt>TQDir::Time</tt> - Sort by time (modification time).
<li><tt>TQDir::Size</tt> - Sort by file size.
<li><tt>TQDir::Unsorted</tt> - Do not sort.
<li><tt>TQDir::SortByMask</tt> - A mask for Name, Time and Size.
<li><tt>TQDir::DirsFirst</tt> - Put the directories first, then the files.
<li><tt>TQDir::Reversed</tt> - Reverse the sort order.
<li><tt>TQDir::IgnoreCase</tt> - Sort case-insensitively.
<li><tt>TQDir::LocaleAware</tt> - Sort names using locale aware compares
<li><tt>TQDir::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="TQDir"></a>TQDir::TQDir ()
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir pointing to the current directory (".").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDir-2"></a>TQDir::TQDir ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & path, const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & nameFilter = TQString::null, int sortSpec = Name | IgnoreCase, int filterSpec = All )
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir 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>
TQDir d( "/tmp" );
for ( int i = 0; i < d.<a href="#count">count</a>(); i++ )
printf( "%s\n", d[i] );
</pre>
<p> If <em>path</em> is "" or <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a>, TQDir uses "." (the current
directory). If <em>nameFilter</em> is "" or TQString::null, TQDir 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="TQDir-3"></a>TQDir::TQDir ( const <a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a> & d )
</h3>
Constructs a TQDir 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="~TQDir"></a>TQDir::~TQDir ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Destroys the TQDir frees up its resources.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="absFilePath"></a>TQDir::absFilePath ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName, bool 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="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="absPath"></a>TQDir::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>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="canonicalPath"></a>TQDir::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="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::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="tqstring.html#isNull">TQString::isNull</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="cd"></a>TQDir::cd ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes the TQDir'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>TQDir::cdUp ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes directory by moving one directory up from the TQDir'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 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="cleanDirPath"></a>TQDir::cleanDirPath ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & filePath )<tt> [static]</tt>
</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> <p>See also <a href="#absPath">absPath</a>() and <a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="convertSeparators"></a>TQDir::convertSeparators ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & pathName )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns <em>pathName</em> with the '/' separators converted to
separators that are appropriate for the underlying operating
system.
<p> On Windows, <a href="#convertSeparators">convertSeparators</a>("c:/winnt/system32") returns
"c:\winnt\system32".
<p> The returned string may be the same as the argument on some
operating systems, for example on Unix.
<p>Examples: <a href="dirview-example.html#x1664">dirview/dirview.cpp</a> and <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x811">fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="convertToAbs"></a>TQDir::convertToAbs ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>

Converts the directory path to an absolute path. If it is already
absolute nothing is done.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>().
<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="count"></a>TQDir::count () const

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="dirName"></a>TQDir::dirName () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the name of the directory; this is <em>not</em> the same as the
path, e.g. a directory with the name "mail", might have the path
"/var/spool/mail". If the directory has no name (e.g. it is the
root directory) <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> is returned.
<p> No check is made to ensure that a directory with this name
actually exists.

<h3 class=fn>const TQFileInfoList * <a name="drives"></a>TQDir::drives ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a list of the root directories on this system. On Windows
this returns a number of <a href="tqfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a> objects containing "C:/", "D:/"
etc. On other operating systems, it returns a list containing just
one root directory (e.g. "/").
<p> The returned pointer is owned by TQt. Callers should <em>not</em> delete
or modify it.

<p> Under Windows the <tt>HOME</tt> environment variable is used. If this
does not exist the <tt>USERPROFILE</tt> environment variable is used. If
that does not exist the path is formed by concatenating the <tt>HOMEDRIVE</tt> and <tt>HOMEPATH</tt> environment variables. If they don't
exist the <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>() is used (this uses the <tt>SystemDrive</tt>
environment variable). If none of these exist "C:\" is used.
<p> Under non-Windows operating systems the <tt>HOME</tt> environment
variable is used if it exists, otherwise rootDirPath() is used.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#homeDirPath">homeDirPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="homeDirPath"></a>TQDir::homeDirPath ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns the absolute path of the user's home directory.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#home">home</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isReadable"></a>TQDir::isReadable () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the directory is readable <em>and</em> we can open files
by name; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> A FALSE value from this function is not a guarantee that
files in the directory are not accessible.
<p> <p>See also <a href="tqfileinfo.html#isReadable">TQFileInfo::isReadable</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="dirview-example.html#x1667">dirview/dirview.cpp</a> and <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x813">fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isRelative"></a>TQDir::isRelative () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the directory path is relative to the current
directory and returns FALSE if the path is absolute (e.g. under
UNIX a path is relative if it does not start with a "/").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isRelativePath"></a>TQDir::isRelativePath ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & path )<tt> [static]</tt>

Returns TRUE if <em>path</em> is relative; returns FALSE if it is
absolute.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isRoot"></a>TQDir::isRoot () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the directory is the root directory; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<p> Note: If the directory is a symbolic link to the root directory
this function returns FALSE. If you want to test for this use
<a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>(), e.g.
<pre>
TQDir d( "/tmp/root_link" );
d = d.<a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>();
if ( d.<a href="#isRoot">isRoot</a>() )
<a href="ntqapplication.html#qWarning">tqWarning</a>( "It is a root link" );
</pre>
<p> <p>See also <a href="#root">root</a>() and <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="match"></a>TQDir::match ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & filter, const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the <em>fileName</em> matches the wildcard (glob)
pattern <em>filter</em>; otherwise returns FALSE. The <em>filter</em> may
contain multiple patterns separated by spaces or semicolons.
<p> (See <a href="tqregexp.html#wildcard-matching">TQRegExp wildcard

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="mkdir"></a>TQDir::mkdir ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Creates a directory.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with a separator ('/')
will create the absolute directory; if <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is FALSE
any number of separators at the beginning of <em>dirName</em> will be
removed.
<p> Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.

</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if directory <em>d</em> and this directory have different
paths or different sort or filter settings; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<p> Example:
<pre>

TQDir d1( "/usr/local/bin" );
TQDir d2( "bin" );
if ( d1 != d2 )
<a href="ntqapplication.html#qDebug">tqDebug</a>( "They differ" );

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a> & <a name="operator-eq-2"></a>TQDir::operator= ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & path )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Sets the directory path to be the given <em>path</em>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="operator-eq-eq"></a>TQDir::operator== ( const <a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a> & d ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Returns TRUE if directory <em>d</em> and this directory have the same
path and their sort and filter settings are the same; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<p> Example:
<pre>
// The current directory is "/usr/local"
TQDir d1( "/usr/local/bin" );
TQDir d2( "bin" );
d2.<a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>();
if ( d1 == d2 )

</pre>
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="operator[]"></a>TQDir::operator[] ( int index ) const
</h3>
Returns the file name at position <em>index</em> in the list of file
names. Equivalent to <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>().at(index).
<p> Returns a <a href="tqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> if the <em>index</em> is out of range or if the
entryList() function failed.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#count">count</a>() and <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="path"></a>TQDir::path () const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
<p> Returns the path, this may contain symbolic links, but never
contains redundant ".", ".." or multiple separators.
<p> The returned path can be either absolute or relative (see
<a href="#setPath">setPath</a>()).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPath">setPath</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="#convertSeparators">convertSeparators</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="refresh"></a>TQDir::refresh () const
</h3>
Refreshes the directory information.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="remove"></a>TQDir::remove ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Removes the file, <em>fileName</em>.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with separator "/"
will remove the file with the absolute path. If <em>acceptAbsPath</em>
is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning of <em>fileName</em>
will be removed and the resultant file name will be removed.
<p> Returns TRUE if the file is removed successfully; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rename"></a>TQDir::rename ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & oldName, const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & newName, bool acceptAbsPaths = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Renames a file or directory.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPaths</em> is TRUE a path starting with a separator
('/') will rename the file with the absolute path; if <em>acceptAbsPaths</em> is FALSE any number of separators at the beginning
of the names will be removed.
<p> Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> On most file systems, <a href="#rename">rename</a>() fails only if <em>oldName</em> does not
exist or if <em>newName</em> and <em>oldName</em> are not on the same
partition. On Windows, rename() will fail if <em>newName</em> already
exists. However, there are also other reasons why rename() can
fail. For example, on at least one file system rename() fails if
<em>newName</em> points to an open file.
<p>Example: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x814">fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rmdir"></a>TQDir::rmdir ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Removes a directory.
<p> If <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is TRUE a path starting with a separator ('/')
will remove the absolute directory; if <em>acceptAbsPath</em> is FALSE
any number of separators at the beginning of <em>dirName</em> will be
removed.
<p> The directory must be empty for <a href="#rmdir">rmdir</a>() to succeed.
<p> Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#mkdir">mkdir</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdir.html">TQDir</a> <a name="root"></a>TQDir::root ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the root directory.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#rootDirPath">rootDirPath</a>() and <a href="#drives">drives</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="rootDirPath"></a>TQDir::rootDirPath ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the absolute path for the root directory.
<p> For UNIX operating systems this returns "/". For Windows file
systems this normally returns "c:/".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#root">root</a>() and <a href="#drives">drives</a>().
<h3 class=fn>char <a name="separator"></a>TQDir::separator ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the native directory separator; "/" under UNIX (including
Mac OS X) and "\" under Windows.
<p> You do not need to use this function to build file paths. If you
always use "/", TQt will translate your paths to conform to the
underlying operating system.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setCurrent"></a>TQDir::setCurrent ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & path )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the application's current working directory to <em>path</em>.
Returns TRUE if the directory was successfully changed; otherwise
returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setFilter"></a>TQDir::setFilter ( int filterSpec )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the filter used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>() to <em>filterSpec</em>. The filter is used to specify the kind of files that
should be returned by entryList() and entryInfoList(). See
<a href="#FilterSpec-enum">TQDir::FilterSpec</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#filter">filter</a>() and <a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMatchAllDirs"></a>TQDir::setMatchAllDirs ( bool enable )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
If <em>enable</em> is TRUE then all directories are included (e.g. in
<a href="#entryList">entryList</a>()), and the <a href="#nameFilter">nameFilter</a>() is only applied to the files.
If <em>enable</em> is FALSE then the nameFilter() is applied to both
directories and files.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#matchAllDirs">matchAllDirs</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setNameFilter"></a>TQDir::setNameFilter ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & nameFilter )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the name filter used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>() to <em>nameFilter</em>.
<p> The <em>nameFilter</em> is a wildcard (globbing) filter that understands
"*" and "?" wildcards. (See <a href="tqregexp.html#wildcard-matching">TQRegExp wildcard matching</a>.) You may specify several filter
entries all separated by a single space " " or by a semi-colon
";".
<p> For example, if you want entryList() and entryInfoList() to list
all files ending with either ".cpp" or ".h", you would use either
dir.<a href="#setNameFilter">setNameFilter</a>("*.cpp *.h") or dir.setNameFilter("*.cpp;*.h").
<p> <p>See also <a href="#nameFilter">nameFilter</a>() and <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setPath"></a>TQDir::setPath ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & path )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the path of the directory to <em>path</em>. The path is cleaned of
redundant ".", ".." and of multiple separators. No check is made
to ensure that a directory with this path exists.
<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".
<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>(), <a href="#isRelative">isRelative</a>(), and <a href="#convertToAbs">convertToAbs</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setSorting"></a>TQDir::setSorting ( int sortSpec )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the sort order used by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() and <a href="#entryInfoList">entryInfoList</a>().
<p> The <em>sortSpec</em> is specified by OR-ing values from the enum
<a href="#SortSpec-enum">TQDir::SortSpec</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#sorting">sorting</a>() and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdir.html#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a> <a name="sorting"></a>TQDir::sorting () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the value set by <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>()
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>() and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a>.
