Class FileMode

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.lib.FileMode

public abstract class FileMode
extends Object

Constants describing various file modes recognized by GIT.

GIT uses a subset of the available UNIX file permission bits. The FileMode class provides access to constants defining the modes actually used by GIT.

Mode indicating an entry is a tree (aka directory).

SYMLINK

public static final FileMode SYMLINK

Mode indicating an entry is a symbolic link.

public static final FileMode REGULAR_FILE

Mode indicating an entry is a non-executable file.

EXECUTABLE_FILE

public static final FileMode EXECUTABLE_FILE

Mode indicating an entry is an executable file.

Mode indicating an entry is a submodule commit in another repository.

MISSING

public static final FileMode MISSING

Method Detail

fromBits

public static final FileMode fromBits(int bits)

Convert a set of mode bits into a FileMode enumerated value.

Parameters:

bits - the mode bits the caller has somehow obtained.

Returns:

the FileMode instance that represents the given bits.

equals

public abstract boolean equals(int modebits)

Test a file mode for equality with this FileMode object.

Parameters:

modebits -

Returns:

true if the mode bits represent the same mode as this object

copyTo

public void copyTo(OutputStream os)
            throws IOException

Copy this mode as a sequence of octal US-ASCII bytes.

The mode is copied as a sequence of octal digits using the US-ASCII character encoding. The sequence does not use a leading '0' prefix to indicate octal notation. This method is suitable for generation of a mode string within a GIT tree object.

Parameters:

os - stream to copy the mode to.

Throws:

IOException - the stream encountered an error during the copy.

copyTo

public void copyTo(byte[] buf,
                   int ptr)

Copy this mode as a sequence of octal US-ASCII bytes. The mode is copied as a sequence of octal digits using the US-ASCII character encoding. The sequence does not use a leading '0' prefix to indicate octal notation. This method is suitable for generation of a mode string within a GIT tree object.

Parameters:

buf - buffer to copy the mode to.

ptr - position within buf for first digit.

copyToLength

public int copyToLength()

Returns:

the number of bytes written by copyTo(OutputStream).

getObjectType

public int getObjectType()

Get the object type that should appear for this type of mode.

See the object type constants in Constants.

Returns:

one of the well known object type constants.

toString

public String toString()

Format this mode as an octal string (for debugging only).

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getBits

public int getBits()

Returns:

The mode bits as an integer.
