symfony/filesystem

Features

• Atomic File Writes - Implements a specialized atomic file writer that prevents data corruption by using temporary files before renaming.
• Directory Creation - Provides functionality to create nested directory structures and their missing parent hierarchies recursively.
• Filesystem Manipulation Utilities - Provides a consistent PHP API for reading, writing, copying, moving, and deleting files and directories across operating systems.
• Recursive Hierarchy Management - Creates recursive folder structures and manages access permissions or ownership for complex directory hierarchies.
• Path Manipulations - Provides tools for constructing, parsing, and manipulating filesystem path strings for consistency.
• Filesystem API Abstractions - Wraps low-level PHP filesystem functions to provide a consistent, OS-agnostic interface for files and symbolic links.
• Recursive Directory Managers - Offers utilities for the recursive creation, removal, and permission management of nested folder structures.
• File System Operations - Provides standardized functions for core filesystem tasks including creation, deletion, and modification.
• Cross-Platform File Operations - Provides unified interfaces for performing basic file operations like copy, move, and delete across different operating systems.
• Recursive Directory Traversers - Recursively walks through nested directory structures to apply permissions, ownership, or deletion operations.
• Path Normalizers - Standardizes file separators and resolves relative segments to ensure consistent path behavior across different operating systems.
• Path Relation Calculations - Provides utilities to calculate the relative distance and relationship between two filesystem paths.
• Symbolic Link Managers - Implements utilities for creating symbolic links and resolving their absolute target locations on disk.
• File Existence Checks - Verifies if one or more files or directories exist on the disk.
• Timestamp-Based Overwrite Policies - Determines whether to overwrite destination files by comparing source and destination modification timestamps.
• Directory Copying - Duplicates files or entire directory trees and uses modification dates to manage overwrites.
• File Renaming and Relocations - Changes the name or directory location of specific files and folders within the filesystem.
• File Write and Append Operations - Allows adding content to the end of files while automatically ensuring parent directories exist.
• Filesystem Deletion Utilities - Removes files, folders, and symbolic links from the storage system.
• Timestamp Modification - Sets and updates access and modification times for files to track metadata changes.
• Temporary File Generators - Generates uniquely named files in system temporary locations for short-term application data storage.
• Common Path Finders - Analyzes multiple absolute paths to identify the longest shared root directory among them.
• Path Root Extractors - Extracts the parent directory or system root from a filesystem path across different environments.
• Path Segment Joiners - Concatenates multiple path segments into a single normalized filesystem path by resolving separators.
• Full File Readings - Reads the full text of a file into a string and provides error reporting for invalid paths.
