dirtree

=======

This module provides the `dirtree` function and resource type, both used for

recursive directory management.

> This module is maintained by Puppet, but we have no plans for future feature development. We will keep it working with current versions of Puppet, but new feature development will come from community contributions. It does not qualify for Puppet Support plans.

> 

> [tier:maintenance-mode]

## Usage

### `dirtree()` function

This function accepts a string containing an absolute directory path

and will return an array of the tree containing all the directories of that path.

The first parameter can also be an array of absolute directory paths, which will

be transformed into an array of all trees containing all directories in the paths.

An optional second parameter can be supplied that contains a path to exclude

from the resulting array. This excludes all intermediate paths between the system 'root'

(i.e. '/' or 'X:') and the given exclude path as well.

Best efforts have been made to make this function compatible with both Windows and Linux systems.

#### Examples

    dirtree('/usr/share/puppet')

    Will return: ['/usr', '/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet']

    dirtree('C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers')

    Will return: ["C:\\windows", "C:\\windows\\system32", "C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers"]

    dirtree(['/usr/share/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl', '/var/lib/puppet/modules'])

    Will return: ['/usr', '/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet',

                  '/var', '/var/lib', '/var/lib/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl',

                  '/var/lib/puppet/modules']

    dirtree('/usr/share/puppet', '/usr')

    Will return: ['/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet']

    dirtree('/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet')

    Will return: []

    dirtree('C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers', 'C:\\windows')

    Will return: ['C:\\windows\\system32', 'C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers']

You can use the `dirtree` function in a class to enumerate all required directories if needed.

    class dirtree {

      # rubysitedir = /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8

      $dirtree = dirtree("/var/lib/puppet/ssl", '/var/lib')

      # $dirtree = ['/usr/lib/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl']

      ensure_resource('file', $dirtree, {'ensure' => 'directory'})

    }

--------

### `dirtree` resource type

This resource type will simply ensure the existence of a directory. It cannot

and will not manage ownership or permissions. You should use the `file` resource

type for that. It's simply for use in the edge case in which you must use a

directory which you cannot fully manage, for one reason or another.

#### Examples

    dirtree { 'a temp dir':

      ensure  => present,

      path    => '/tmp/foo/bar/baz',

      parents => true,

    }

    dirtree { 'another temp dir with the same path':

      ensure  => present,

      path    => '/tmp/foo/bar/baz',

    }

    file { '/tmp/foo/bar/baz':

      ensure => directory,

      owner  => 'root',

      group  => 'root',

      mode   => '0755',

    }

Changes

------

* dirtree v0.2.2

    * Added clarification and code, that exclude path also works, if given paths are short than itself.

    * Included the `dirtree` resource type.

    * More robust handling of Windows path separators.

* dirtree v0.2.1

    * Added the ability to pass an array of paths.  Thanks to [Ben Ford](https://github.com/binford2k)

* dirtree v0.2.0

    * Added optional second parameter specifying portion of the path to exclude.
