Free files in software for linux

list files package prints to file list of files in a given directory.
Handy if youd like to, say, tell a friend of yours what ebooks you have, and wouldnt feel like typing them all by hand.
Hope you can find it useful.
INSTALLATION
i assume youve got everything in its standard places; otherwise you probably know what to do anyway.
to install for one user
copy listFiles.desktop to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
copy listFiles.sh to /usr/local/bin or elsewhere in the path
to install for all users
copy listFiles.desktop to /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
copy listFiles.sh to /usr/local/bin or elsewhere in the path
Enhancements:
- added counting the number of items
- added the possibility to change the place where the listing is written to
- some minor changes to the code

wyoFiler shows all directories and files of a base directory in one tree window. Directories and files can be selected and manipulated across the whole hierarchy, from the base directory all the way down to the lowest level.

Selected items may be in different directories on different levels. The base directory itself may be switched to any other convenient directory.

All file manipulations are done in the background, so multiple commands are possible simultaneously.

The filer can display multiple base directories in tabbed notebook pages or separate top level windows.

File::Slurp is a Perl module for efficient reading/writing of complete files.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Slurp;

my $text = read_file( filename ) ;
my @lines = read_file( filename ) ;

write_file( filename, @lines ) ;

use File::Slurp qw( slurp ) ;

my $text = slurp( filename ) ;

This module provides subs that allow you to read or write entire files with one simple call. They are designed to be simple to use, have flexible ways to pass in or get the file contents and to be very efficient. There is also a sub to read in all the files in a directory other than . and ..

These slurp/spew subs work for files, pipes and sockets, and stdio, pseudo-files, and DATA.

read_file

This sub reads in an entire file and returns its contents to the caller. In list context it will return a list of lines (using the current value of $/ as the separator including support for paragraph mode when it is set to ). In scalar context it returns the entire file as a single scalar.

my $text = read_file( filename ) ;
my @lines = read_file( filename ) ;

The first argument to read_file is the filename and the rest of the arguments are key/value pairs which are optional and which modify the behavior of the call. Other than binmode the options all control how the slurped file is returned to the caller.

If the first argument is a file handle reference or I/O object (if ref is true), then that handle is slurped in. This mode is supported so you slurp handles such as DATA, STDIN. See the test handle.t for an example that does open( -| ) and child process spews data to the parant which slurps it in. All of the options that control how the data is returned to the caller still work in this case.

NOTE: as of version 9999.06, read_file works correctly on the DATA handle. It used to need a sysseek workaround but that is now handled when needed by the module itself.

You can optionally request that slurp() is exported to your code. This is an alias for read_file and is meant to be forward compatible with Perl 6 (which will have slurp() built-in).

File::Repl is a Perl module that provides file replication utilities.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Repl;

%con = {
dira => C:/perl,
dirb => M:/perl,
verbose => 1,
age => 10,
};

$ref=File::Repl->New(%con);
$r1 = $ref->Update(.p(l|m),ab,1);
$r2 = $ref->Update(.t.*,ab,1,.tmp$);

The File:Repl provides simple file replication and management utilities. Its main functions are

File Replication

Allowing two directory structures to be maintained, ensuring files that meet selection logic criteria are mirrored and otherwise synchronized.

Bulk Renaming

Allowing files in a directory structure to be renamed according to the selection logic.

Compressing

Allowing files in a directory structure to be compressed according to a given logic.

Process

Run a common perl process against files in a directory structure according to selection logic.

Deletion

Allowing files in a directory structure to be deleted according to the selection logic.

Daizu::File is a Perl class representing files in working copies.

Each object of this class represents a particular file in a Daizu CMS working copy (a record in the wc_file table).

METHODS

Note that all the functions which return the value of a Subversion property will strip leading and trailing whitespace, and treat a value which is empty or entirely whitespace as if it wasnt set at all.

Daizu::File->new($cms, $file_id)

Return a new Daizu::File object for the file with the specified ID number.

$file->data

Return a reference to a string containing the file data (content).

$file->wc

Return a Daizu::Wc object representing the working copy in which this file lives.

$file->guid_uri

Return the GUID URI for this file.

$file->directory_path

Returns the path of a directory, either the same as the file if its a directory itself, or the path of its parent directory, or if its at the top level.

$file->permalink

Returns the first URL generated by the file, which will be the URL you want to link to most of the time. For articles this will always be the normal HTML version of the article, even if there are also other URLs available for it, and it will always be the first page of multipage articles. For non-article files there is no guarantee about what this will return, but most will only generate a single URL anyway, and for those that dont generators are likely to return the most linkable URL first.

The URL returned is an absolute URL provided as a URI object.

Returns nothing if the file doesnt generate any URLs.

There are some cases where this might not be what you want. For example, the root directory of a website using Daizu::Gen will either not generate a URL at all, or will generate one for a Google sitemap XML file, neither of which is likely to be useful for linking. To get the URL of the website you would probably need to find a file called something like _index.html. On the other hand, the Daizu::Gen::Blog generator will give you a sensible URL for the blog homepage if you call this on its root directory.

$file->urls_in_db($method, $argument)

Return a list of the URLs (plain strings, each an absolute URI) of the file which have the specified method and argument values, drawing from the url table in the database.

$file->article_urls

Return information about the URLs which the file should have, if it is an article. Fails if it isnt.

FUSE can implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program.
Main features:
- Simple library API
- Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
- Secure implementation
- Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient
- Usable by non privileged users
- Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
- Has proven very stable over time
Installation
Some projects include the whole FUSE package (for simpler installation). In other cases or just to try out the examples FUSE must be installed first. The installation is simple, after unpacking enter:
./configure
make
make install
If this produces an error, please read on.
The configure script will try to guess the location of the kernel source. In case this fails, it may be specified using the --with-kernel parameter. Building the kernel module needs a configured kernel source tree matching the running kernel. If you build your own kernel this is no problem. On the other hand if a precompiled kernel is used, the kernel headers used by the FUSE build process must first be prepared. There are two possibilities:
1. A package containing the kernel headers for the kernel binary is available in the distribution (e.g. on Debian its the kernel-headers-X.Y.Z package for kernel-image-X.Y.Z)
2. The kernel source must be prepared:
- Extract the kernel source to some directory
- Copy the running kernels config (usually found in /boot/config-X.Y.Z) to .config at the top of the source tree
- Run make menuconfig, then make dep at the top of the source tree (only needed on 2.4 kernels)
If using the 2.6 kernel, then write access is needed to some files in the kernel source tree. Usually it is enough if you make .tmp_versions and .__modpost.cmd writable.
Enhancements:
- Stacking support for the high level API
- Add filename charset conversion module
- Improved mounting
