Moved to [[ServerJS/Filesystem_API/Names]].
 
The following sections are organized with a bullet point per function.  Each point includes a specification for the behavior of a given method, intended to be suitable for documentation.  Under each definition is a list of potential names for that function, and in bullets beneath that, everyone is encouraged to write their name under their preference.  Please feel to leave comments as well.
 
In the next section, "General Preferences", there are several broad sweeping points about whether to use certain conventions in a consistent fashion.  All of the name options are intended to conform to the prevalent opinion among those elections.  For example, "make" and "create" and "dir" and "directory" are both general preference elections, so if you would prefer "makeDir" over "createDirectory", please vote independently for "make" and "dir" in the general preferences.
 
 
== File System Object ==
 
The "file" module would conform to the File System API, as well as objects returned by "chroot".  There is no definitive implementation of a FileSystem class, so "chroot" is the only way to construct new objects that conform to the FileSystem API.  In permissive environments, the "file" module may have direct access to ambient authority through a foreign function interface, or may itself be a dynamically loaded module.  In secured environments, the "file" module must copy the properties of "environment.fs" onto its exports.
 
In a secure sandbox, the following statements would be equivalent.
 
require('file').open(foo)
environment.fs.open(foo)
 
Since "fs" must be frozen to be secure, there is no need for the "file" module to assemble aparatus for late binding to "fs" methods.
 
* whether a file exists at a given path: receives a path and returns whether that path, joined on the current working directory, corresponds to a file that exists.  If the file is a broken symbolic link, returns false.
** exists(path):
*** Kris Kowal
*** Wes Garland
*** (Python: os.path.exists, Ruby: exist?, exists?, Java: exists, JSExt: access, Spidermonkey: Helma: v8cgi: JSExt: EJScript: Synchronet: exists, jslibs: exist)
 
* whether a symbolic link or file exists at a given path: receives a path and returns whether that path, joined on the current working directory, corresponds to a file, albeit a broken symbolic link, that exists.
** exists(path, true):
*** Wes Garland
*** Mario Valente
** linkExists(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** exists(path, "link"):
*** Kris Kowal (as a compromise)
** (Python: os.path.lexists)
 
* moves a file from a source to a target path.  Both paths are joined on the current working directory.
** move(source, target):
** (Ruby: move, Python: shutil.move, Java: File.renameTo)
 
* renames a file: receives two paths.  The first is a path, joined on the current working directory, that refers to the file to rename.  The second argument is a path relative to the former file's fully qualified path.
** rename(path, name):
** should not be included in the spec:
*** Kris Kowal
** (Ruby: rename)
 
* copies a file from a source to a target path.  Both paths are joined on the current working directory.
** copy(source, target):
** (Ruby: copy, systemCopy, Python: copy, Unix: cp)
 
* copies a file and its recursive contents to a target path.  Both paths are joined on the current working directory.  If "synbolicLinks" is truthy, symbolic links in the source tree are represented as symbolic links in the new tree; if falsy, the contents of the linked files are copied to the new tree.  If ignore is given, it must be a relation that will receive as its arguments the directory being visited by copytree(), and a list of its contents. Since this is called recursively (or walking an equivalent iteration), the ignore relation will be called once for each directory that is copied. The relation must return a sequence of directory and file names relative to the current directory (i.e. a subset of the items in its second argument); these names will then be ignored in the copy process.
** copyTree(source, target, symbolicLinks = false, ignore = undefined)
** copy(source, target, "recursive")
** copy(source, target, true)
** (Python: copytree)
 
* makes a directory at a given path in the base directory implied by the given path.  Throws an exception if the base directory does not exist, or if the given path already exists.
** makeDirectory(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** createDirectory(path):
*** Mario Valente
** mkdir(path)
*** Kevin Dangoor
** (Unix: mkdir)
 
* creates recursive directories.  Makes all intermediate-level directories needed to contain the leaf directory. Throws an exception if the leaf directory already exists or cannot be created. The default mode is 0777 (octal). On some systems, mode is ignored. Where it is used, the current umask value is first masked out.
** makePath(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** makeDirectory(path, true):
*** Wes Garland
** makeDirectory(path, "recursive"):
** makeDirectory(path, "path"):
*** Kris Kowal (as a compromise)
** makeTree(path)
** (Unix: mkdir -p, Ruby: makedirs, mkpath, Python: os.makedirs)

** remove(path):
** remove(path, true):
** remove(path, "recursive")
** removeRecursive(path)
** removeTree(path, ignoreErrors = false, onError = undefined)
** (Unix: rm -r, Python: rmtree)
 
* creates a hard link of the source path as the target path.  Both paths are joined on the current working directory.
** link(source, target):
*** uncontested
** (Python: link, Ruby: link, Unix: ln)
 
* creates a symbolic link on a given "target" file name.  The source path becomes the text of the symbolic link, which the underlying system will join on the containing directory when it's followed, while the target path is joined on the current working directory.
** symbolicLink(source, target):
*** Kris Kowal
** link(source, target, true):
*** Wes Garland
** link(source, target, "symbolic"):
*** Kris Kowal (as a compromise)
** (Ruby: symlink, Python: symlink, Unix: ln -s)
 
* creates an empty file at a given path in its implied base directory.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  Accepts an optional ``Permissions`` object (or a duck-type thereof, or the, typically octal, numeric representation of permissions in Unix) that notes which permissions the file will be created with, assuming that those permissions are in the "umask".
** create(path, [permissions]):
*** Mario Valente
** unnecessary:
*** Kris Kowal,
*** Wes Garland
** (Java: createNewFile, Posix: creat, Unix: touch)
 
* truncates a the file at a given path.  Accepts an optional length that default to zero.  The path is resolved on the current working directory.
** truncate(path, [length = 0]):
** omit entirely:
*** Kris Kowal
** (Ruby: truncate, Python: ftruncate applies to open files only)
 
* updates the stat/metadata of the file at a given path.  Accepts a stat object.  Implicitly updates the time that the file's metadata/stat was updated to the current time, regardless of the metadata modification time provided by the stat object.
*** Wes Garland
** update(path, stat):
** chstat(path, stat):
** setStat(path, stat):
** restat(path, stat):
** (a low-level alternative to Python's copy2 and copyStat)
 
* updates the modification time of the file at a given path.  Accepts an alternate modification time to set the file.  Also implicitly updates the time that the file's metadata/stat object was updated to the current time, regardless of the chosen modification time.
** touch(path, [date]):
*** Kris Kowal
** (Unix: touch)
 
* locks the file at a given path with either an exclusive or shared advisory lock.  The path is resolved on the current working directory.  Blocks until the lock is acquired, or if a timeout is defined, when that timeout occurs.
** lock(path, "shared|exclusive", [timeout=undefined]):
*** Wes Garland
*** Kris Kowal
** lock(path, "rw|")
** (Posix: lock, Python: lock)
 
* attempts to acquire an advisory lock a file at a given path but does not block.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  Does not block if the file is not lockable.  Returns whether the lock was obtained.
*** Wes Garland
** tryLock(path, "shared|exclusive"):
** lock(path, "rw")
** (Python: lock)
 
* releases a lock for a given path.
** unlock(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** lock(path, "unlock")
** lock(path, "u")
** (Python: lock)
 
* retrieves an object that represents the metadata of a distinct file, for a given path.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  The returned object has the properties described in the Stat API.
** stat(path):
*** Mario Valente
** (Python: os.stat, Ruby: File.stat, Posix: stat)
 
* retrieves an object that represents the metadata of a distinct file or symbolic link to a file at a given path.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  The returned object has the properties described in the Stat API.
** stat(path, true):
*** Wes Garland
** linkStat(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** stat(path, "link"):
*** Kris Kowal (as a compromise)
** (Python: os.lstat, Ruby: File.lstat)
 
* returns the size of the corresponding file.
** size(path)
** (Python: size, Ruby: size?: Java: length, Posix: st_size)
 
* returns the total size of a tree of files.
** size(path) // as a special case for a directory
** size(path, "recursive")
** recursiveSize(path)
 
* returns an IO object for accessing or manipulating the data in a file at a given path.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  The given permissions object may be a Unix numeric representation of permissions, a Stat object, or any object that provides the members of Stat regarding permissions.
** open(path, "+arwxc", permissions, encoding):
*** Mario Valente
*** Kris Kowal
** Mode:
*** +, update
*** a, append
*** r, read
*** w, write

** (Java: FileStream classes, Python: open, file, Ruby: File.new, universal precedent among SSJS frameworks)
** open([path,] [mode,] {[path: path,] mode: "+arxwc", permissions: permissions, encoding: encoding})<br>(keyword-style parameters, first parameter is path or keyword object containing path)
*** Aristid Breitkreuz
*** Kris Kowal
 
* return a Dir object for a given directory path.  The path is resolved relative to the current working directory.  The Dir object is an bidirectional iterator of a snapshot of the contents of the directory, and may be either a lazy Array or genuine array, depending on whether the underlying implementation can retrieve indicies on demand.
** list(path)
** (Python: os.listdir, Ruby: Dir)
 
* returns an object that, like a Dir, supports the iterator protocol (next, prev) and the Array protocol (length, [index]) for all files that match a given glob pattern.
** The glob pattern may include any of the following productions:
*** ? - exactly one character in a path component
*** * - any number of characters in a path component
*** ** - any number of characters in a path
*** {a,b,c} - the letters a, b, or c, or any other union of paths.
** glob(pattern)
** (Ruby: Dir[])
 
* returns whether a given path matches a glob pattern.
** match(pattern, path)
** (Ruby: fnmatch)
 
* returns a new object that implements the file system API that uses the directory at the given path as its root.  Resolves the path relative to the current working directory.
** chroot(path)
 
 
== Paths ==
 
More properites of a FileSystem object.
 
* a string directing a path up to the parent of the current directory, usually '..'.
** PARENT
** (a function that gets an opaque reference to the actual parent node on the file system, as referenced by the directory's parent hard link, has been deliberately omitted to avoid leaking the capability to access that object from within a chroot file system)
** (Python: pardir)
 
* a string directing a path back to itself, usually '.'.
** SELF
** (Python: curdir)
 
* a string that contains the path separator, usually '/', '\', or ':'.
** SEPARATOR
** (Python: sep, Spidermonkey: separator, Ruby: SEPARATOR, Separator)
 
* a string that contains the alternate path separator, if it exists.  Otherwise, undefined.
** ALTERNATE_SEPARATOR
** (Python: altsep, Ruby: ALT_SEPARATOR)
 
* a string that contains the extension separator, usually '.'.
** EXTENSION_SEPRATOR
** (Python: extsep)
 
* whether the file system supports unicode file names
** SUPPORTS_UNICODE_FILE_NAMES
 
* accepts a variadic list of paths as arguments and follows each successive path from the current working directory, left to right, and returns the normalized path of the ultimate file or directory.  Paths that end with a directory separator refer to the contents of a directory as a place to continue resolving, whereas paths that do not end with a directory separator indicate that the next path should be followed from the directory containing that file.
** join([path, [path, [path, [...]]]])
 
* returns the path components for a given path
** split(path)
 
* takes a string and returns an escaped path component of that string, such that directory separators and other special characters do not partition it into multiple path components
** escape(string)
** (not precedented)
 
* returns the path of the directory containing a given path.
** dirName(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** dirname(path)
*** Wes Garland
** (Python: Unix: dirname)
 
* returns the last path component without its extension.  The extension begins after the first extension separator.
** baseName(path):
*** Kris Kowal
** basename(path):
*** Wes Garland
** (Python: Unix: basename)
 
* returns the extension of the given path.  The extension begins after the first extension separator.
** extension(path):
*** George Mosochovitis
*** Kris Kowal
*** Wes Garland
** (Ruby: extname)
 
* removes '.' path components and simplifies '..' paths, if possible for a given path.  If the file system is case sensitive, transforms all letters to lower-case to make them unambiguous.
** normal(path)
** (Python: normpath)
 
* returns the absolute path, starting with the root of this file system object, for the given path, resolved relative to the current working directory.  If the file system supports home directory aliases, absolute resolves those from the root of the file system.  The resulting path is in normal form.  On most systems, this is equivalent to epxanding any user directory alias, joining the path to the current working directory, and normalizing the result.
** absolute(path)
** (Python: abspath)
 
* returns the canonical path to a given abstract path.  Canonical paths are both absolute and intrinsic, such that all paths that refer to a given file (whether it exists or not) have the same corresponding canonical path.  This function may not communicate information about the true parent directories of files in chroot environments.  This function is equivalent to expanding an user directory alias, joining the given path to the current working directory, joining all symbolic links along the path, and normalizing the result.
** canonical(path)
** (Python: realpath)
 
* returns whether a given path has no self and parent path components.
** isNormal(path)
 
* returns whether the given path is normal and starts with the root of the file system.
** isAbsolute(path)
** (Python: isabs)
 
* returns whether the given path is the same as the corresponding cannonical path.
** isCanonical(path)
 
* returns whether the given paths both refer to the same intrinsic file.  Both paths are resolved relative to the working directory.
** same(path, path)

File objects can only be constructed by methods of FileSystem objects.  Different IO types might be returned for calls to open with different modes, generally following the protocol outlined in Python's PEP 3116. 
 
 
== IO Objects ==
 
* reads as many bytes as are available from an IO stream and returns the number of actually read bytes.
