Methods

addFile()  : non-empty-string
Adds a file from the local server hard disk to a given path in TYPO3s virtual file system. This assumes that the local file exists, so no further check is done here! After a successful operation the original file must not exist anymore.
copyFileWithinStorage()  : non-empty-string
Copies a file *within* the current storage.
copyFolderWithinStorage()  : bool
Folder equivalent to copyFileWithinStorage().
countFilesInFolder()  : int<0, max>
Returns the number of files inside the specified path
countFoldersInFolder()  : int<0, max>
Returns the number of folders inside the specified path
createFile()  : non-empty-string
Creates a new (empty) file and returns the identifier.
createFolder()  : non-empty-string
Creates a folder, within a parent folder.
deleteFile()  : bool
Removes a file from the filesystem. This does not check if the file is still used or if it is a bad idea to delete it for some other reason this has to be taken care of in the upper layers (e.g. the Storage)!
deleteFolder()  : bool
Removes a folder in filesystem.
dumpFileContents()  : void
Directly output the contents of the file to the output buffer. Should not take care of header files or flushing buffer before. Will be taken care of by the Storage.
fileExists()  : bool
Checks if a file exists.
fileExistsInFolder()  : bool
Checks if a file inside a folder exists
folderExists()  : bool
Checks if a folder exists.
folderExistsInFolder()  : bool
Checks if a folder inside a folder exists.
getCapabilities()  : Capabilities
Returns the capabilities of this driver.
getDefaultFolder()  : non-empty-string
Returns the identifier of the default folder new files should be put into.
getFileContents()  : string
Returns the contents of a file. Beware that this requires to load the complete file into memory and also may require fetching the file from an external location. So this might be an expensive operation (both in terms of processing resources and money) for large files.
getFileForLocalProcessing()  : non-empty-string
Returns a path to a local copy of a file for processing it. When changing the file, you have to take care of replacing the current version yourself!
getFileInfoByIdentifier()  : array<string, mixed>
Returns information about a file.
getFileInFolder()  : non-empty-string
Returns the identifier of a file inside the folder
getFilesInFolder()  : array<int, string>

Returns the identifier of the folder the file resides in
getPermissions()  : array{r: bool, w: bool}
Returns the permissions of a file/folder as an array (keys r, w) of boolean flags

Returns the public URL to a file.
getRootLevelFolder()  : non-empty-string

hasCapability()  : bool
Returns TRUE if this driver has the given capability.
hash()  : string

hashIdentifier()  : non-empty-string
Hashes a file identifier, taking the case sensitivity of the file system into account. This helps mitigating problems with case-insensitive databases.
initialize()  : void
Initializes this object. This is called by the storage after the driver has been attached.
isCaseSensitiveFileSystem()  : bool
Returns TRUE if this driver uses case-sensitive identifiers. NOTE: This is a configurable setting, but the setting does not change the way the underlying file system treats the identifiers; the setting should therefore always reflect the file system and not try to change its behaviour
isFolderEmpty()  : bool
Checks if a folder contains files and (if supported) other folders.
isWithin()  : bool
Checks if a given identifier is within a container, e.g. if a file or folder is within another folder.
