slash.common.io.WindowsShortcut

All Implemented Interfaces:

ResolvableLink

public class WindowsShortcut
extends Object
implements ResolvableLink

Represents a Windows shortcut (typically visible to Java only as a '.lnk' file), the counterpart to a macOS MacAlias. Parsing is delegated to the mslinks library; this class keeps the small facade RouteConverter relies on.

public WindowsShortcut(File file)
                throws IOException

Throws:

Method Details

isPotentialValidLink

public static boolean isPotentialValidLink(File file)
                                    throws IOException

Provides a quick test to see if this could be a valid link. Instantiating a WindowsShortcut for an invalid link throws, and exceptions are slow, so code looping over several files should check this first.

Parameters:

file - the potential link

Returns:

true if it may be a link, false otherwise

Throws:

IOException - if an IOException is thrown while reading from the file

getRealFilename

public String getRealFilename()

Specified by:

getRealFilename in interface ResolvableLink

Returns:

the name of the filesystem object pointed to by this shortcut

isDirectory

public boolean isDirectory()

Specified by:

isDirectory in interface ResolvableLink

Returns:

true if the shortcut points to a directory, false otherwise

isFile

public boolean isFile()

Specified by:

isFile in interface ResolvableLink

Returns:

true if the link points to a file
