cmake的file命令

一、介绍

CMake的文件操作命令

Reading
  file(READ <filename> <out-var> [...])
  file(STRINGS <filename> <out-var> [...])
  file(<HASH> <filename> <out-var>)
  file(TIMESTAMP <filename> <out-var> [...])

Writing
  file({WRITE | APPEND} <filename> <content>...)
  file({TOUCH | TOUCH_NOCREATE} [<file>...])
  file(GENERATE OUTPUT <output-file> [...])

Filesystem
  file({GLOB | GLOB_RECURSE} <out-var> [...] [<globbing-expr>...])
  file(RENAME <oldname> <newname>)
  file({REMOVE | REMOVE_RECURSE } [<files>...])
  file(MAKE_DIRECTORY [<dir>...])
  file({COPY | INSTALL} <file>... DESTINATION <dir> [...])
  file(SIZE <filename> <out-var>)
  file(READ_SYMLINK <linkname> <out-var>)
  file(CREATE_LINK <original> <linkname> [...])

Path Conversion
  file(RELATIVE_PATH <out-var> <directory> <file>)
  file({TO_CMAKE_PATH | TO_NATIVE_PATH} <path> <out-var>)

Transfer
  file(DOWNLOAD <url> <file> [...])
  file(UPLOAD <file> <url> [...])

Locking
  file(LOCK <path> [...])

二、实例

  file(READ <filename> <out-var> [...])

READ 会读取文件的内容并将其存入到变量中 

  file(STRINGS <filename> <out-var> [...])

STRINGS 从文件中解析出ASCII字符串列表并存储在变量中 

file(WRITE filename "message towrite"... )

WRITE 将一则信息写入文件’filename’中，如果该文件存在，它会覆盖它，如果不存在，它会创建该文件。

file(APPEND filename "message to write"... )

APPEND 如同WRITE，区别在于它将信息内容追加到文件末尾。

file(MAKE_DIRECTORY [directory1 directory2 ...])

MAKE_DIRECTORY在指定目录处创建子目录，如果它们的父目录不存在，也会创建它们的父目录。

file(RELATIVE_PATH variable directory file)

RELATIVE_PAT推断出指定文件相对于特定目录的路径。 

file(TO_CMAKE_PATH path result)

TO_CMAKE_PATH会将路径转换成cmake风格的路径表达形式。

file(GLOB variable [RELATIVE path] [globbingexpressions]...)

GLOB 会产生一个由所有匹配globbing表达式的文件组成的列表，并将其保存到变量中。Globbing 表达式与正则表达式类似，但更简单。

测试的例子：

file(WRITE test1.txt "Some messages to Write\n" ) 

file( TO_CMAKE_PATH "$ENV{PROGRAMFILES}" ANDROID_NDK_SEARCH_PATHS )

file(GLOB SOURCES “*.cu” “*.cpp” “*.c” “*.h”)
  
file(APPEND test1.txt "Another message to write\n")  
 
file(STRINGS test1.txt PARSED_STRINGS)  
message(STATUS "\n strings of test1.txt is: \n ${PARSED_STRINGS}")  

file(GLOB files RELATIVE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} "*.*")  
message(STATUS  "files: ${files}")  

file(MAKE_DIRECTORY dir1 dir2)  

file(RENAME dir2 dir3)  

file(REMOVE dir3)  

file(REMOVE_RECURSE dir3)  

file(RELATIVE_PATH relative_path ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} 
 
file(COPY test1.txt DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dir1)  

file(INSTALL test1.txt DESTINATION ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/dir1)
