| create {fs} | R Documentation |
These functions ensure that path exists; if it already exists it will
be left unchanged. That means that compared to file.create(),
file_create() will not truncate an existing file, and compared to
dir.create(), dir_create() will silently ignore
existing directories.
file_create(path, ..., mode = "u=rw,go=r") dir_create(path, ..., mode = "u=rwx,go=rx", recursive = TRUE) link_create(path, new_path, symbolic = TRUE)
path |
A character vector of one or more paths. |
... |
Additional arguments passed to |
mode |
If file/directory is created, what mode should it have? Links do not have mode; they inherit the mode of the file they link to. |
recursive |
should intermediate directories be created if they do not exist? |
new_path |
The path where the link should be created. |
symbolic |
Boolean value determining if the link should be a symbolic (the default) or hard link. |
The path to the created object (invisibly).
file_create("foo")
is_file("foo")
# dir_create applied to the same path will fail
try(dir_create("foo"))
dir_create("bar")
is_dir("bar")
# file_create applied to the same path will fail
try(file_create("bar"))
# Cleanup
file_delete("foo")
dir_delete("bar")
