Changing and creating directories on a virtual device

adf_directory() shows the current directory of a virtual device, when a file system is present. When connecting to or creating a new device, the current directory is the disk's root by default. To change the current directory, use adf_directory() in combination with the assign operator (<-).

Usage

adf_directory(dev, ...)

# S3 method for class 'adf_device'
adf_directory(dev, ...)

adf_directory(dev, ...) <- value

# S3 method for class 'adf_device'
adf_directory(dev, ...) <- value

# S3 method for class 'adf_device.character'
adf_directory(dev, ...) <- value

# S3 method for class 'adf_device.virtual_path'
adf_directory(dev, ...) <- value

make_adf_dir(x, virtual_path, ...)

# S3 method for class 'adf_device'
make_adf_dir(x, virtual_path, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
make_adf_dir(x, virtual_path, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
make_adf_dir.adf_device(x, virtual_path, ...)

# S3 method for class 'virtual_path'
make_adf_dir.adf_device(x, virtual_path, ...)

Arguments

dev

The virtual adf device for which information needs to be obtained. It should be of class adf_device which can be created with create_adf_device() or connect_adf().

...

Ignored

value

A character string or a virtual_path (see virtual_path()) representing directory you wish to set as current.

x

An adf_device or virtual_path class object. The first specifies the device on which a directory needs to be created. The latter specifies both the directory and the device on which it needs to be created.

virtual_path

A character string or a virtual_path (see virtual_path()) specifying the name of the new directory to be created. Should be missing when x is of class virtual_path

Value

make_adf_dir() returns the device connection. adf_directory() returns the current directory as a virtual_path class object.

Details

To create a new directory on a device use make_adf_dir() and use a full or relative path name to specify the new directory name.

See vignette("virtual_paths") for a note on file and directory names on the Amiga.

Examples

## First setup a connection to a virtual device
adz_file <- system.file("example.adz", package = "adfExplorer2")
my_device <- connect_adf(adz_file)

## Show the current directory
adf_directory(my_device)
#> ROOT                   adfExampleOFS

## Create a new directory
make_adf_dir(my_device, "DF0:s/newdir")
#> Bootable DOS Floppy DD
#>   Volume 0 [---]: adfExampleOFS (2.2%)

## Change the current dir to the new directory:
adf_directory(my_device) <- "DF0:s/newdir"

## Close the virtual device
close(my_device)
