Interface FileStore

All Superinterfaces:
CapabilityProvider, ChangeSource<FileStore.FileStoreChangeEvent>, Container, InformationProvider
All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface FileStore extends CapabilityProvider, Container, InformationProvider, ChangeSource<FileStore.FileStoreChangeEvent>
A FileStore is a generic interface for all archive and filesystem objects.

  • Method Details

    • getType

      String getType()
      Get the type of file store. This is a generic name, such as "RDOS 2.1" or "ShrinkIt".

    • getLabel

      String getLabel()
      The label is a mechanism to distinguish multiple file stores in a single file. For instance, UniDOS has two file stores in the file, so it would have two different labels such as "Disk 1" and "Disk 2".

    • getRootDirectory

      Directory getRootDirectory()
      All FileStores support a "root" directory that references all files.

    • getPathSeparator

      String getPathSeparator()
      This is the path separator character.

    • getDisplayColumns

      List<DisplayColumn> getDisplayColumns()
      Yields a list of columns to be used in this display mode.

    • flush

      default void flush()

      Flush any pending writes back to the source. This is intended to handle archives as they do not have a fixed structure to write changes. flush should be invoked before a save.

      Example usage:

      FileStore fileStore = fileStoreSelection.getSelectedItem();
fileStore.flush();
Source source = fileStore.get(Source.class).orElseThrow();
source.save();
