XFS filesystem API

Project description

This will be a set of modules for working with XFS filesystems. It will bind xfslibs APIs in a pythonic manner.

Currently, the only API implemented is bulkstat.

bulkstat(mountpoint)

Returns an iterator of stat-like objects for inodes in the filesystem. The stat-like objects have the same properties as stat results: st_size, st_ino, st_mode, st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, st_gid, st_atime, st_ctime, and st_mtime

They also contain:

st_fatime, st_fctime, st_fmtime: same as st_atime, st_ctime and st_mtime, except they return a float including subseconds, similar to time.time()

st_xflags: xfs extended flags

has_xattrs(): returns true if the file contains extended attributes.

isreg(), isdir(), isfifo(), islink(): convenience methods for identifying file type by mode.

open(): contextmanager that returns a read-only file descriptor for the file
