Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
file |
mixed
|
Readable object or path to file. |
required |
extension |
str
|
Optional extension to append to file when saving. |
None
|
put_strategy |
mixed
|
The strategy to use for adding
files; may be a function or the string name of one of the
built-in put strategies declared in :class: |
None
|
simulate |
bool
|
Return the :class: |
False
|
Put strategies are functions (evercas, stream, filepath)
where
evercas
is the :class:EverCas
instance from which :meth:put
was
called; stream
is the :class:Stream
object representing the
data to add; and filepath
is the string absolute file path inside
the EverCas where it needs to be saved. The put strategy function should
create the path filepath
containing the data in stream
.
There are currently two built-in put strategies: "copy" (the default) and "link". "link" attempts to hard link the file into the EverCas if the platform and underlying filesystem support it, and falls back to "copy" behavior.
Returns:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
HashAddress | File's hash address. |

realpath(file)

Stream
Bases: object
Common interface for file-like objects.
The input obj
can be a file-like object or a path to a file. If obj
is
a path to a file, then it will be opened until :meth:close
is called.
If obj
is a file-like object, then it's original position will be
restored when :meth:close
is called instead of closing the object
automatically. Closing of the stream is deferred to whatever process passed
the stream in.
Successive readings of the stream is supported without having to manually
set it's position back to 0
.
