valuerenameWith

:: (FilePath -> FilePath)
function to rename with
-> FilePath
file to rename
-> IO ()

Use a renaming function to generate a new name for a file, then rename it.

valuemodifyWith

:: Streamable a
=> (FilePath -> FilePath -> IO ())
file manipulation action
-> (a -> a)
transformation function
-> FilePath
-> IO ()

Modify a file in place using the given function. The new content is written to a temporary file. Once this is complete, the file manipulation action is called. Its arguments are the names of the original and temporary files.

Example:

    modifyInPlace = modifyWith (flip rename)

valuemodifyWithBackup

:: Streamable a
=> (FilePath -> FilePath)
chooses new name for original file
-> (a -> a)
transformation function
-> FilePath
name of file to modify
-> IO ()

Modify a file in place using the given function. The original copy of the file is saved under a new name. This is performed by writing to a temporary file; renaming the original file to its new name; then renaming the temporary file to the original name.

Example:

    -- save original file with a ".bak" extension
    modifyWithBackup (<.> "bak")

valuemodifyInPlace

:: Streamable a
=> (a -> a)
transformation function
-> FilePath
name of file to modify
-> IO ()

Modify a file in place using the given function. This is performed by writing to a temporary file, then renaming it on top of the existing file when done.
