Function Documentation

mutt_file_check_empty()

int mutt_file_check_empty

(

const char *

path

)

Is the mailbox empty.

Parameters

path	Path to mailbox

Return values

1	Mailbox is empty
0	Mailbox is not empty
-1	Error

Definition at line 1477 of file file.c.

{
  if (!path)
    return -1;
 
  struct stat st = { 0 };
  if (stat(path, &st) == -1)
    return -1;
 
  return st.st_size == 0;
}

Here is the caller graph for this function:

mutt_file_chmod()

int mutt_file_chmod	(	const char *	path,
		mode_t	mode
	)

Set permissions of a file.

Parameters

path	Filename
mode	the permissions to set

Return values

num	Same as chmod(2)

This is essentially chmod(path, mode), see chmod(2).

Definition at line 1110 of file file.c.

{
  if (!path)
    return -1;
 
  return chmod(path, mode);
}

mutt_file_chmod_add()

int mutt_file_chmod_add	(	const char *	path,
		mode_t	mode
	)

Add permissions to a file.

Parameters

path	Filename
mode	the permissions to add

Return values

num	Same as chmod(2)

Adds the given permissions to the file. Permissions not mentioned in mode will stay as they are. This function resembles the chmod ugoa+rwxXst command family. Example:

mutt_file_chmod_add(path, S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH);

will add write permissions to path but does not alter read and other permissions.

See also

mutt_file_chmod_add_stat()

Definition at line 1135 of file file.c.

{
  return mutt_file_chmod_add_stat(path, mode, NULL);
}

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

mutt_file_chmod_add_stat()

int mutt_file_chmod_add_stat	(	const char *	path,
		mode_t	mode,
		struct stat *	st
	)

Add permissions to a file.

Parameters

path	Filename
mode	the permissions to add
st	struct stat for the file (optional)

Return values

num	Same as chmod(2)

Same as mutt_file_chmod_add() but saves a system call to stat() if a non-NULL stat structure is given. Useful if the stat structure of the file was retrieved before by the calling code. Example:

struct stat st;
stat(path, &st);
// ... do something else with st ...
mutt_file_chmod_add_stat(path, S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH, st);

  }
  return chmod(path, st->st_mode | mode);
}

Here is the caller graph for this function:

mutt_file_chmod_rm()

int mutt_file_chmod_rm	(	const char *	path,
		mode_t	mode
	)

Remove permissions from a file.

Parameters

path	Filename
mode	the permissions to remove

Return values

num	Same as chmod(2)

Removes the given permissions from the file. Permissions not mentioned in mode will stay as they are. This function resembles the chmod ugoa-rwxXst command family. Example:

mutt_file_chmod_rm(path, S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH);

will remove write permissions from path but does not alter read and other permissions.

		mode_t	mode,
		struct stat *	st
	)

Remove permissions from a file.

Parameters

path	Filename
mode	the permissions to remove
st	struct stat for the file (optional)

Return values

num	Same as chmod(2)

Same as mutt_file_chmod_rm() but saves a system call to stat() if a non-NULL stat structure is given. Useful if the stat structure of the file was retrieved before by the calling code. Example:

struct stat st;
stat(path, &st);
// ... do something else with st ...

Parameters

mutt_file_iter_line()

bool mutt_file_iter_line	(	struct MuttFileIter *	iter,

true	Data read
false	On eof
