Quick reference
---------------

[](#quick-reference)

Retrieve the mime-type value from a given file

```
IO\Helpers::mimetype($filename)

```

Return the formatted byte-length value

```
IO\Helpers::fmtsize($bytes[, $unit = NULL[, $format = '%01.2f %s']])

```

Assemble and resolve paths from its arguments

```
IO\Helpers::join($arg1[, $arg2[, $argN]])

```

Retrieve files in the given directory

```
IO\Dir::entries($path[, $filter = '*'[, $recursive = FALSE]])

```

Copy files between directories

```
IO\Dir::cpfiles($from, $to[, $filter = '*'[, $recursive = FALSE]])

```

Find files through given directory

```
IO\Dir::findfile($path[, $filter = '*'[, $recursive = FALSE[, $index = 0]]])

```

Remove files from given directory

```
IO\Dir::unfile($path[, $filter = '*'[, $recursive = FALSE]])

```

Retrieve the size in bytes from given directory

```
IO\Dir::size($path[, $recursive = FALSE])

```

Execute the *lambda* function for each file within the given directory using `opendir()` and pass the value from `readdir()` to the *lambda* block. Then use `closedir()` after the whole iteration.

```
IO\Dir::open($path, $lambda)

```

Execute the *lambda* for each file within the given directory and pass the file path to the *lambda* block recursively. This method use `entries()` to build its tree.

```
IO\Dir::each($path, $filter, $lambda)

```

Get the filename extension

```
IO\File::ext($name[, $dot = FALSE])

```

Get the whole filepath without extension

```
IO\File::extn($name[, $base = FALSE])

```

Read a single file or URL

```
IO\File::read($path)

```

Writes a single file

```
IO\File::write($file, $content, $append)

```

Use `fopen()` and pass the *\#resource* to execute the *lambda* block, then close the file using `fclose()` automatically.

```
IO\File::open($file, $access, $lambda)

```

Execute the *lambda* for each line from the given file.

```
IO\File::each($path, $lambda)

```
