<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 file
path. Absolute file paths begin with the directory separator "/" or
with a drive specification (except under Unix). 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(), or 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.
<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> If you need the path in a form suitable for 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 <stdio.h>
#include <<a href="qdir-h.html">qdir.h</a>>
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-><a href="qfileinfo.html#size">size</a>(), fi-><a href="qfileinfo.html#fileName">fileName</a>().latin1() );
++it;

return 0;

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="FilterSpec-enum"></a>QDir::FilterSpec</h3>
<p> This enum describes how QDir is to select which entries in a
directory to return. 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
borken 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 how QDir is to sort the list of entries returned
by <a href="#entryList">entryList</a>() or <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::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>See also <a href="#currentDirPath">currentDirPath</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="QDir-2"></a>QDir::QDir ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & path, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & nameFilter = QString::null, int sortSpec = Name | IgnoreCase, int filterSpec = All )
</h3>
Constructs a QDir for with path <em>path</em> that filters its entries by
name with <em>nameFilter</em> and by attributes with <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 < d.<a href="#count">count</a>(); i++ )
printf( "%s\n", d[i] );
</pre>
<p> If <em>path</em> is "" or null, QDir uses "." (the current directory). If
<em>nameFilter</em> is "" or 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 <a href="qdir.html">QDir</a> & d )
</h3>
Constructs a QDir that is a copy of the directory <em>d</em>.
<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 <a href="qstring.html">QString</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="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 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#x1524">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 absPath returns. If the canonical path
does not exist (normally due to dangling symbolic links)
<a href="#canonicalPath">canonicalPath</a>() returns a null string.
<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 <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Changes the QDir's directory to directory <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 decend into <em>dirName</em>.
<p> Returns TRUE if the new directory exists and is readable. 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#x1596">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. 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="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="cleanDirPath"></a>QDir::cleanDirPath ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</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 most simplified version of the input.
"./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="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="convertSeparators"></a>QDir::convertSeparators ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & pathName )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Converts the '/' separators in <em>pathName</em> to the separators
appropriate for the underlying operating system.
Returns the translated string.
<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.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="convertToAbs"></a>QDir::convertToAbs ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Converts the directory path to an absolute path. If it is already
absolute nothing is done.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="dirName"></a>QDir::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 null string is returned.
<p> No check is made to ensure that a directory with this name actually exists.

<h3 class=fn>const QFileInfoList * <a name="drives"></a>QDir::drives ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a list of the root directories on this system. On
win32, this returns a number of <a href="qfileinfo.html">QFileInfo</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 Qt. Callers should <em>not</em> delete or
modify it.

Removes a file.
<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>QDir::rename ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & oldName, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</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 newName points to an open
file.
<p>Example: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x1527">fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rmdir"></a>QDir::rmdir ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath = TRUE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>

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.

<h3 class=fn>char <a name="separator"></a>QDir::separator ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the native directory separator; "/" under UNIX and "\" under
MS-DOS, Windows NT and OS/2.
<p> You do not need to use this function to build file paths. If you always
use "/", Qt will translate your paths to conform to the underlying
operating system.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setCurrent"></a>QDir::setCurrent ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & path )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the application's current working directory to <em>path</em>.

</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">QDir::FilterSpec</a>.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMatchAllDirs"></a>QDir::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>QDir::setNameFilter ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</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="qregexp.html#wildcard-matching">QRegExp
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 ".cpp" and all files ending with ".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>QDir::setPath ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</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 "/" or a drive specification (except under
Unix). 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>QDir::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">QDir::SortSpec</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#sorting">sorting</a>() and <a href="#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qdir.html#SortSpec-enum">SortSpec</a> <a name="sorting"></a>QDir::sorting () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the value set by <a href="#setSorting">setSorting</a>()
