The functions file_create()
and dir_create()
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", recurse = TRUE, recursive) 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. |
recurse | should intermediate directories be created if they do not exist? |
recursive | (Deprecated) If |
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).
