cs.hashindex 20240211.1

A command and utility functions for making listings of file content hashcodes and manipulating directory trees based on such a hash index.

A command and utility functions for making listings of file content hashcodes and manipulating directory trees based on such a hash index.

Latest release 20240211.1: Better module docstring.

Function dir_filepaths(dirpath: str)

Generator yielding the filesystem paths of the files in dirpath.

Function dir_remap(srcdirpath: str, fspaths_by_hashcode: Mapping[cs.hashutils.BaseHashCode, List[str]], *, hashname: str)

Generator yielding (srcpath,[remapped_paths]) 2-tuples based on the hashcodes keying rfspaths_by_hashcode.

Function file_checksum(fspath: str, hashname: str = 'sha256', *, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags) -> Optional[cs.hashutils.BaseHashCode]

Return the hashcode for the contents of the file at fspath. Warn and return None on OSError.

Function get_fstags_hashcode(fspath: str, hashname: str, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags) -> Tuple[Optional[cs.hashutils.BaseHashCode], Optional[os.stat_result]]

Obtain the hashcode cached in the fstags if still valid. Return a 2-tuple of (hashcode,stat_result) where hashcode is a BaseHashCode subclass instance is valid or None if missing or no longer valid and stat_result is the current os.stat result for fspath.

Function hashindex(fspath, *, hashname: str, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags)

Generator yielding (hashcode,filepath) 2-tuples for the files in fspath, which may be a file or directory path. Note that it yields (None,filepath) for files which cannot be accessed.

Class HashIndexCommand(cs.cmdutils.BaseCommand)

Tool to generate indices of file content hashcodes and to link files to destinations based on their hashcode.

Command line usage:

Usage: hashindex subcommand...
    Generate or process file content hash listings.
  Subcommands:
    help [-l] [subcommand-names...]
      Print help for subcommands.
      This outputs the full help for the named subcommands,
      or the short help for all subcommands if no names are specified.
      -l  Long help even if no subcommand-names provided.
    linkto [-f] [-h hashname] [--mv] [-n] [-q] [-s] srcdir dstdir < hashindex
      Link files from srcdir to dstdir according the input hash index.
      -f    Force: link even if the target already exists.
      -h hashname
            Specify the hash algorithm, default: sha256
      --mv  Move: unlink the original after a successful hard link.
      -n    No action; recite planned actions.
      -q    Quiet. Do not report actions.
      -s    Symlink the source file instead of hard linking.
    ls [-h hashname] [-r] paths...
      Walk the filesystem paths and emit a listing.
      -h hahsname   Specify the file content hash alogrith name.
      -r            Emit relative paths in the listing.
                    This requires each path to be a directory.
    rearrange [options...] {[[user@]host:]refdir|-} [[user@]rhost:]targetdir
      Rearrange files in targetdir based on their positions in refdir.
      Options:
        -e ssh_exe  Specify the ssh executable.
        -h hashname Specify the file content hash algorithm name.
        -H hashindex_exe
                    Specify the remote hashindex executable.
        --mv        Move mode.
        -n          No action, dry run.
        -s          Symlink mode.
    shell
      Run a command prompt via cmd.Cmd using this command's subcommands.

Function main(argv=None)

Commandline implementation.

Function merge(srcpath: str, dstpath: str, *, opname=None, hashname: str, move_mode: bool = False, symlink_mode=False, doit=False, quiet=False, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags)

Merge srcpath to dstpath.

If dstpath does not exist, move/link/symlink srcpath to dstpath. Otherwise checksum their contents and raise FileExistsError if they differ.

Function paths_remap(srcpaths: Iterable[str], fspaths_by_hashcode: Mapping[cs.hashutils.BaseHashCode, List[str]], *, hashname: str)

Generator yielding (srcpath,fspaths) 2-tuples.

Function read_hashindex(f, start=1, *, hashname: str)

A generator which reads line from the file f and yields (hashcode,fspath) 2-tuples. If there are parse errors the hashcode or fspath may be None.

Function rearrange(srcdirpath: str, rfspaths_by_hashcode, *, hashname: str, move_mode: bool = False, symlink_mode=False, doit: bool, quiet: bool = False, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags, runstate: cs.resources.RunState)

Rearrange the files in dirpath according to the hashcode->[relpaths] fspaths_by_hashcode.

Function set_fstags_hashcode(fspath: str, hashcode, S: os.stat_result, fstags: cs.fstags.FSTags)

Record hashcode against fspath.
