Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

Since: 5.0

The QFileDevice class provides an interface for reading from and writing to open files.

\reentrant

QFileDevice is the base class for I/O devices that can read and write text and binary files and \l{The Qt Resource System}{resources}. QFile offers the main functionality, QFileDevice serves as a base class for sharing functionality with other file devices such as QSaveFile, by providing all the operations that can be done on files that have been opened by QFile or QSaveFile.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ FileError

enum QFileDevice::FileError

This enum describes the errors that may be returned by the error() function.

\value NoError No error occurred. \value ReadError An error occurred when reading from the file. \value WriteError An error occurred when writing to the file. \value FatalError A fatal error occurred. \value ResourceError Out of resources (e.g., too many open files, out of memory, etc.) \value OpenError The file could not be opened. \value AbortError The operation was aborted. \value TimeOutError A timeout occurred. \value UnspecifiedError An unspecified error occurred. \value RemoveError The file could not be removed. \value RenameError The file could not be renamed. \value PositionError The position in the file could not be changed. \value ResizeError The file could not be resized. \value PermissionsError The file could not be accessed. \value CopyError The file could not be copied.

◆ FileHandleFlag

enum QFileDevice::FileHandleFlag

This enum is used when opening a file to specify additional options which only apply to files and not to a generic QIODevice.

\value AutoCloseHandle The file handle passed into open() should be closed by close(), the default behavior is that close just flushes the file and the application is responsible for closing the file handle. When opening a file by name, this flag is ignored as Qt always owns the file handle and must close it. \value DontCloseHandle If not explicitly closed, the underlying file handle is left open when the QFile object is destroyed.

◆ FileTime

enum QFileDevice::FileTime

Since: 5.10

This enum is used by the fileTime() and setFileTime() functions.

\value FileAccessTime When the file was most recently accessed (e.g. read or written to). \value FileBirthTime When the file was created (may not be not supported on UNIX). \value FileMetadataChangeTime When the file's metadata was last changed. \value FileModificationTime When the file was most recently modified.

◆ MemoryMapFlag

enum QFileDevice::MemoryMapFlag

Since: 4.4

This enum describes special options that may be used by the map() function.

\value NoOptions No options. \value MapPrivateOption The mapped memory will be private, so any modifications will not be visible to other processes and will not be written to disk. Any such modifications will be lost when the memory is unmapped. It is unspecified whether modifications made to the file made after the mapping is created will be visible through the mapped memory. This enum value was introduced in Qt 5.4.

Definition at line 101 of file qfiledevice.h.

◆ Permission

enum QFileDevice::Permission

This enum is used by the permission() function to report the permissions and ownership of a file.

The values may be OR-ed together to test multiple permissions and ownership values.

\value ReadOwner The file is readable by the owner of the file. \value WriteOwner The file is writable by the owner of the file. \value ExeOwner The file is executable by the owner of the file. \value ReadUser The file is readable by the user. \value WriteUser The file is writable by the user. \value ExeUser The file is executable by the user. \value ReadGroup The file is readable by the group. \value WriteGroup The file is writable by the group. \value ExeGroup The file is executable by the group. \value ReadOther The file is readable by others. \value WriteOther The file is writable by others. \value ExeOther The file is executable by others.

Warning: Because of differences in the platforms supported by Qt, the semantics of ReadUser, WriteUser and ExeUser are platform-dependent: On Unix, the rights of the owner of the file are returned and on Windows the rights of the current user are returned. This behavior might change in a future Qt version.

Note: On NTFS file systems, ownership and permissions checking is disabled by default for performance reasons. To enable it, include the following line:

extern Q_CORE_EXPORT int qt_ntfs_permission_lookup;

Permission checking is then turned on and off by incrementing and decrementing qt_ntfs_permission_lookup by 1.

qt_ntfs_permission_lookup++; // turn checking on

qt_ntfs_permission_lookup--; // turn it off again

Note: Since this is a non-atomic global variable, it is only safe to increment or decrement qt_ntfs_permission_lookup before any threads other than the main thread have started or after every thread other than the main thread has ended.; From Qt 6.6 the variable qt_ntfs_permission_lookup is deprecated. Please use the following alternatives.

The safe and easy way to manage permission checks is to use the RAII class QNtfsPermissionCheckGuard.

void complexFunction()
{
    QNtfsPermissionCheckGuard permissionGuard;  // check is enabled
 
    // do complex things here that need permission check enabled
 
}   // as the guard goes out of scope the check is disabled

If you need more fine-grained control, it is possible to manage the permission with the following functions instead:

qAreNtfsPermissionChecksEnabled();   // check status
qEnableNtfsPermissionChecks();       // turn checking on
qDisableNtfsPermissionChecks();      // turn it off again

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~QFileDevice()

QFileDevice::~QFileDevice ( )

Destroys the file device, closing it if necessary.

Definition at line 236 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ QFileDevice() [1/3]

QFileDevice ( )

protected

\macro QT_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN \macro QT_NO_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN

Since: 6.8

File-related I/O classes (such as QFile, QSaveFile, QTemporaryFile) have an {open()} method to open the file they act upon. It is important to check the return value of the call to {open()} before proceeding with reading or writing data into the file.

For this reason, starting with Qt 6.8, some overloads of {open()} have been marked with the {[[nodiscard]]} attribute. Since this change may raise warnings in existing codebases, user code can opt-in or opt-out from having the attribute applied by defining certain macros:

\list

If the {QT_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN} macro is defined, overloads of {open()} are marked as {[[nodiscard]]}.
If the {QT_NO_USE_NODISCARD_FILE_OPEN} is defined, the overloads of {open()} are {not} marked as {[[nodiscard]]}.
If neither macro is defined, then the default up to and including Qt 6.9 is not to have the attribute. Starting from Qt 6.10, the attribute is automatically applied.
If both macros are defined, the program is ill-formed. \endlist

Member Function Documentation

◆ atEnd()

bool QFileDevice::atEnd ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns true if the end of the file has been reached; otherwise returns false.

For regular empty files on Unix (e.g. those in /proc), this function returns true, since the file system reports that the size of such a file is

Therefore, you should not depend on atEnd() when reading data from such a file, but rather call read() until no more data can be read.

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 366 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ close()

void QFileDevice::close ( )

overridevirtual

Calls QFileDevice::flush() and closes the file.

Errors from flush are ignored.

See also: QIODevice::close()

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 326 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ error()

QFileDevice::FileError QFileDevice::error ( ) const

Returns the file error status.

The I/O device status returns an error code. For example, if open() returns false, or a read/write operation returns -1, this function can be called to find out the reason why the operation failed.

See also: unsetError()

Definition at line 587 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ fileName()

QString QFileDevice::fileName ( ) const

virtual

Returns the name of the file.

The default implementation in QFileDevice returns a null string.

Reimplemented in QFile.

Definition at line 280 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ fileTime()

QDateTime QFileDevice::fileTime ( QFileDevice::FileTime time ) const

Since: 5.10 Returns the file time specified by time. If the time cannot be determined return QDateTime() (an invalid date time).

See also: setFileTime(), FileTime, QDateTime::isValid()

Definition at line 775 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ flush()

bool QFileDevice::flush ( )

Flushes any buffered data to the file.

Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

Definition at line 289 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

Referenced by testing.tools.encode_pdf_filter._SinkPdfStream::close().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ handle()

int QFileDevice::handle ( ) const

Returns the file handle of the file.

This is a small positive integer, suitable for use with C library functions such as fdopen() and fcntl(). On systems that use file descriptors for sockets (i.e. Unix systems, but not Windows) the handle can be used with QSocketNotifier as well.

If the file is not open, or there is an error, handle() returns -1.

See also: QSocketNotifier

Definition at line 267 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ isSequential()

bool QFileDevice::isSequential ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns true if the file can only be manipulated sequentially; otherwise returns false.

Most files support random-access, but some special files may not.

See also: QIODevice::isSequential()

Reimplemented from QIODevice.

Definition at line 249 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ map()

uchar * QFileDevice::map	(	qint64	offset,
		qint64	size,
		MemoryMapFlags	flags = NoOptions )

Maps size bytes of the file into memory starting at offset.

A file should be open for a map to succeed but the file does not need to stay open after the memory has been mapped. When the QFile is destroyed or a new file is opened with this object, any maps that have not been unmapped will automatically be unmapped.

The mapping will have the same open mode as the file (read and/or write), except when using MapPrivateOption, in which case it is always possible to write to the mapped memory.

Any mapping options can be passed through flags.

Returns a pointer to the memory or \nullptr if there is an error.

See also: unmap()

Definition at line 715 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ permissions()

QFile::Permissions QFileDevice::permissions ( ) const

virtual

Returns the complete OR-ed together combination of QFile::Permission for the file.

See also: setPermissions()

Reimplemented in QFile.

◆ resize()

bool QFileDevice::resize ( qint64 sz )

virtual

Sets the file size (in bytes) sz.

Returns true if the resize succeeds; false otherwise. If sz is larger than the file currently is, the new bytes will be set to 0; if sz is smaller, the file is simply truncated.

Warning: This function can fail if the file doesn't exist.

Reimplemented in QFile.

Definition at line 630 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ seek()

bool QFileDevice::seek ( qint64 pos )

overridevirtual

For random-access devices, this function sets the current position to pos, returning true on success, or false if an error occurred.

For sequential devices, the default behavior is to do nothing and return false.

Seeking beyond the end of a file: If the position is beyond the end of a file, then seek() will not immediately extend the file. If a write is performed at this position, then the file will be extended. The content of the file between the previous end of file and the newly written data is UNDEFINED and varies between platforms and file systems.

◆ setFileTime()

bool QFileDevice::setFileTime	(	const QDateTime &	newDate,
		QFileDevice::FileTime	fileTime )

Since: 5.10 Sets the file time specified by fileTime to newDate, returning true if successful; otherwise returns false.

Note: The file must be open to use this function.

◆ setPermissions()

bool QFileDevice::setPermissions ( Permissions permissions )

virtual

Sets the permissions for the file to the permissions specified.

Returns true if successful, or false if the permissions cannot be modified.

Warning: This function does not manipulate ACLs, which may limit its effectiveness.

◆ size()

qint64 QFileDevice::size ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the size of the file.

For regular empty files on Unix (e.g. those in /proc), this function returns 0; the contents of such a file are generated on demand in response to you calling read().

Definition at line 611 of file qfiledevice.cpp.

◆ unmap()

bool QFileDevice::unmap ( uchar * address )

Unmaps the memory address.

Returns true if the unmap succeeds; false otherwise.

◆ unsetError()

void QFileDevice::unsetError ( )

Sets the file's error to QFileDevice::NoError.
