# = XDG Base Directory Standard # # This provides a conveient library for conforming to the # XDG Base Directory Standard. # # http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html # # Some important clarifications, not made clear by the # above specification. # # The data directories are for "read-only" files. In other words once # something is put there, it should only be read, never written to # by a program. (Generally speaking only users or pacakge mangers should # be adding, changing or removing files from the data locations. # # The config locations are where you should store files that may change, # and effect operations depending one there content. This is like etc/ # in the FHS, but alterable by end users and and end user programs, # not just root and sudo admin scripts. # # The cache location stores files that could judt as well be deleted # and everyihtng still works find. This is for variable and temporary # files. Like var/ in FHS. # # This module returns paths as strings. # module XDG extend self #module_function # Returns user's home directory. def home File.expand_path('~') # ENV['HOME'] end # Location of user's personal config directory. def config_home File.expand_path( ENV['XDG_CONFIG_HOME'] || File.join(home, '.config') ) end # List of user's shared config directories. def config_dirs dirs = ENV['XDG_CONFIG_DIRS'].to_s.split(/[:;]/) if dirs.empty? dirs = %w{/etc/xdg} end dirs.collect{ |d| File.expand_path(d) } end # Location of user's personal data directory. def data_home File.expand_path( ENV['XDG_DATA_HOME'] || File.join(home, '.local', 'share') ) end # List of user's shared data directores. def data_dirs dirs = ENV['XDG_DATA_DIRS'].split(/[:;]/) if dirs.empty? dirs = %w{/usr/local/share/ /usr/share/} end dirs.collect{ |d| File.expand_path(d) } end # Location of user's personal cache directory. def cache_home File.expand_path( ENV['XDG_CACHE_HOME'] || File.join(home, '.cache') ) end # Find a file or directory in data dirs. # # See: +data_select+. # def data_find(*glob_and_flags, &block) data_select(*glob_and_flags, &block).first end # Return array of matching files or directories # in any of the data locations. # # This starts with the user's home directory # and then searches system directories. # # String parameters are joined into a pathname # while Integers and Symbols treated as flags. # # For example, the following are equivalent: # # XDG.data_select('stick/units', File::FNM_CASEFOLD) # # XDG.data_select('stick', 'uits', :casefold) # def data_select(*glob_and_flags, &block) glob, flags = *glob_and_flags.partition{ |e| String===e } glob = ['**/*'] if glob.empty? flag = flags.inject(0) do |m, f| if Symbol === f m + File::const_get("FNM_#{f.to_s.upcase}") else m + f.to_i end end find = [] [data_home, *data_dirs].each do |dir| path = File.join(dir, *glob) if block_given? find.concat(Dir.glob(path, flag).select(&block)) else find.concat(Dir.glob(path, flag)) end end find end # Return the fist matching file or directory # from the config locations. # # See: +config_select+. # def config_find(*glob_and_flags, &block) config_select(*glob_and_flags, &block).first end # Return array of matching files or directories # in any of the config locations. # # This starts with the user's home directory # and then searches system directories. # # String parameters are joined into a pathname # while Integers and Symbols treated as flags. # # For example, the following are equivalent: # # XDG.config_select('sow/plugins', File::FNM_CASEFOLD) # # XDG.config_select('sow', 'plugins', :casefold) # def config_select(*glob_and_flags) glob, flags = *glob_and_flags.partition{ |e| String===e } glob = ['**/*'] if glob.empty? flag = flags.inject(0) do |m, f| if Symbol === f m + File::const_get("FNM_#{f.to_s.upcase}") else m + f.to_i end end find = [] [config_home, *config_dirs].each do |dir| path = File.join(dir, *glob) if block_given? find.concat(Dir.glob(path, flag).select(&block)) else find.concat(Dir.glob(path, flag)) end end find end # Return the fist matching file or directory # in the cache directory. # # See: +cache_select+. # def cache_find(*glob_and_flags, &block) cache_select(*glob_and_flags, &block).first end # Return array of matching files or directories # from the cache directory. # # String parameters are joined into a pathname # while Integers and Symbols treated as flags. # # For example, the following are equivalent: # # XDG.cache_select('sow/tmp', File::FNM_CASEFOLD) # # XDG.cache_select('sow', 'tmp', :casefold) # def cache_select(*glob_and_flags) glob, flags = *glob_and_flags.partition{ |e| String===e } glob = ['**/*'] if glob.empty? flag = flags.inject(0) do |m, f| if Symbol === f m + File::const_get("FNM_#{f.to_s.upcase}") else m + f.to_i end end path = File.join(cache_home,*glob) if block_given?
