ZosUnixDirectory

The ZosUnixDirectory object represents a Unix directory. The ZosUnixDirectory class is derived from ZosUnixObject. The root directory for the Unix file system can be obtained from the UnixRootDirectory property of ZosServer. The directory represented by a Unix folder can be obtained from the TargetDirectory property of ZosUnixFolder.

ZosUnixDirectory Methods

ZosUnixDirectory exposes the following methods, some of which are inherited from ZosUnixObject.

CheckAccess Method

Checks whether or not the user has the specified access permissions for the Unix directory. (Inherited from ZosUnixObject).

Boolean  CheckAccess(  
        ZosUnixAccessCheck flags  
        ) 

Create Method

Creates a new directory.

static ZosUnixDirectory  Create(  
        ZosUnixDirectory parent,  
        String name,  
        ZosUnixAccess userAccess,  
        ZosUnixAccess groupAccess,  
        ZosUnixAccess otherAccess  
        ) 

GetObject Method

Gets a single file system object from the directory. The object can be a directory, a file, or a symbolic link.

ZosUnixObject  GetObject(  
        String name  
        ) 

GetObjects Method

Gets an array of file system objects belonging to a Unix directory. The list can optionally be filtered.

nameFilter - Name filter

changeTime - get files changed after the specified time.
