            My grab bag of convenience functions for files and filenames/pathnames.

*Latest release 20240316*:
Fixed release upload artifacts.

## Function `abspath_from_file(path, from_file)`

Return the absolute path of `path` with respect to `from_file`,
as one might do for an include file.

## Function `atomic_filename(filename, exists_ok=False, placeholder=False, dir=None, prefix=None, suffix=None, rename_func=<built-in function rename>, **kw)`

A context manager to create `filename` atomicly on completion.
This returns a `NamedTemporaryFile` to use to create the file contents.
On completion the temporary file is renamed to the target name `filename`.

Parameters:
* `filename`: the file name to create
* `exists_ok`: default `False`;
  if true it not an error if `filename` already exists
* `placeholder`: create a placeholder file at `filename`
  while the real contents are written to the temporary file
* `dir`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies the directory
  to hold the temporary file; the default is `dirname(filename)`
  to ensure the rename is atomic
* `prefix`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies a prefix
  for the temporary file; the default is a dot (`'.'`) plus the prefix
  from `splitext(basename(filename))`
* `suffix`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies a suffix
  for the temporary file; the default is the extension obtained
  from `splitext(basename(filename))`
* `rename_func`: a callable accepting `(tempname,filename)`
  used to rename the temporary file to the final name; the
  default is `os.rename` and this parametr exists to accept
  something such as `FSTags.move`
Other keyword arguments are passed to the `NamedTemporaryFile` constructor.

Example:

    >>> import os
    >>> from os.path import exists as existspath
    >>> fn = 'test_atomic_filename'
    >>> with atomic_filename(fn, mode='w') as f:
    ...     assert not existspath(fn)
    ...     print('foo', file=f)
    ...     assert not existspath(fn)
    ...
    >>> assert existspath(fn)
    >>> assert open(fn).read() == 'foo\n'
    >>> os.remove(fn)

## Class `BackedFile(ReadMixin)`

A RawIOBase duck type
which uses a backing file for initial data
and writes new data to a front scratch file.

*Method `BackedFile.__init__(self, back_file, dirpath=None)`*:
Initialise the BackedFile using `back_file` for the backing data.

## Class `BackedFile_TestMethods`

Mixin for testing subclasses of BackedFile.
Tests self.backed_fp.

## Function `byteses_as_fd(bss, **kw)`

Deliver the iterable of bytes `bss` as a readable file descriptor.
      Return the file descriptor.
      Any keyword arguments are passed to `CornuCopyBuffer.as_fd`.

      Example:

           # present a passphrase for use as in input file descrptor
           # for a subprocess
           rfd = byteses_as_fd([(passphrase + '
').encode()])

## Function `common_path_prefix(*paths)`

Return the common path prefix of the `paths`.

Note that the common prefix of `'/a/b/c1'` and `'/a/b/c2'`
is `'/a/b/'`, _not_ `'/a/b/c'`.

Callers may find it useful to preadjust the supplied paths
with `normpath`, `abspath` or `realpath` from `os.path`;
see the `os.path` documentation for the various caveats
which go with those functions.

Examples:

    >>> # the obvious
    >>> common_path_prefix('', '')
    ''
    >>> common_path_prefix('/', '/')
    '/'
    >>> common_path_prefix('a', 'a')
    'a'
    >>> common_path_prefix('a', 'b')
    ''
    >>> # nonempty directory path prefixes end in os.sep
    >>> common_path_prefix('/', '/a')
    '/'
    >>> # identical paths include the final basename
    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a', 'p/a')
    'p/a'
    >>> # the comparison does not normalise paths
    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p//a')
    'p//a'
    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p//b')
    'p//'
    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p/a')
    'p/'
    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a', 'p/b')
    'p/'
    >>> # the comparison strips complete unequal path components
    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a1', 'p/a2')
    'p/'
    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a/b1', 'p/a/b2')
    'p/a/'
    >>> # contrast with cs.lex.common_prefix
    >>> common_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1')
    'abc/def'
    >>> common_path_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1')
    'abc/'
    >>> common_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1', 'abc/def2')
    'abc/def'
    >>> common_path_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1', 'abc/def2')
    'abc/'

## Function `compare(f1, f2, mode='rb')`

Compare the contents of two file-like objects `f1` and `f2` for equality.

If `f1` or `f2` is a string, open the named file using `mode`
(default: `"rb"`).

## Function `copy_data(fpin, fpout, nbytes, rsize=None)`

Copy `nbytes` of data from `fpin` to `fpout`,
return the number of bytes copied.

Parameters:
* `nbytes`: number of bytes to copy.
  If `None`, copy until EOF.
* `rsize`: read size, default `DEFAULT_READSIZE`.

## Function `crop_name(name, ext=None, name_max=255)`

Crop a file basename so as not to exceed `name_max` in length.
Return the original `name` if it already short enough.
Otherwise crop `name` before the file extension
to make it short enough.

Parameters:
* `name`: the file basename to crop
* `ext`: optional file extension;
  the default is to infer the extension with `os.path.splitext`.
* `name_max`: optional maximum length, default: `255`

## Function `datafrom(f, offset=None, readsize=None, maxlength=None)`

General purpose reader for files yielding data from `offset`.

*WARNING*: this function might move the file pointer.

Parameters:
* `f`: the file from which to read data;
  if a string, the file is opened with mode="rb";
  if an int, treated as an OS file descriptor;
  otherwise presumed to be a file-like object.
  If that object has a `.fileno()` method, treat that as an
  OS file descriptor and use it.
* `offset`: starting offset for the data
* `maxlength`: optional maximum amount of data to yield
* `readsize`: read size, default DEFAULT_READSIZE.

For file-like objects, the read1 method is used in preference
to read if available. The file pointer is briefly moved during
fetches.

## Function `datafrom_fd(fd, offset=None, readsize=None, aligned=True, maxlength=None)`

General purpose reader for file descriptors yielding data from `offset`.
**Note**: This does not move the file descriptor position
**if** the file is seekable.

Parameters:
* `fd`: the file descriptor from which to read.
* `offset`: the offset from which to read.
  If omitted, use the current file descriptor position.
* `readsize`: the read size, default: `DEFAULT_READSIZE`
* `aligned`: if true (the default), the first read is sized
  to align the new offset with a multiple of `readsize`.
* `maxlength`: if specified yield no more than this many bytes of data.

## Function `file_based(*da, **dkw)`

A decorator which caches a value obtained from a file.

In addition to all the keyword arguments for `@cs.deco.cachedmethod`,
this decorator also accepts the following arguments:
* `attr_name`: the name for the associated attribute, used as
  the basis for the internal cache value attribute
* `filename`: the filename to monitor.
  Default from the `._{attr_name}__filename` attribute.
  This value will be passed to the method as the `filename` keyword
  parameter.
* `poll_delay`: delay between file polls, default `DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL`.
* `sig_func`: signature function used to encapsulate the relevant
  information about the file; default
  cs.filestate.FileState({filename}).

If the decorated function raises OSError with errno == ENOENT,
this returns None. Other exceptions are reraised.

## Function `file_data(fp, nbytes=None, rsize=None)`

Read `nbytes` of data from `fp` and yield the chunks as read.

Parameters:
* `nbytes`: number of bytes to read; if None read until EOF.
* `rsize`: read size, default DEFAULT_READSIZE.

## Function `file_property(*da, **dkw)`

A property whose value reloads if a file changes.

## Function `files_property(func)`

A property whose value reloads if any of a list of files changes.

Note: this is just the default mode for `make_files_property`.

`func` accepts the file path and returns the new value.
The underlying attribute name is `'_'+func.__name__`,
the default from `make_files_property()`.
The attribute *{attr_name}*`_lock` is a mutex controlling access to the property.
The attributes *{attr_name}*`_filestates` and *{attr_name}*`_paths` track the
associated file states.
The attribute *{attr_name}*`_lastpoll` tracks the last poll time.

The decorated function is passed the current list of files
and returns the new list of files and the associated value.

One example use would be a configuration file with recurive
include operations; the inner function would parse the first
file in the list, and the parse would accumulate this filename
and those of any included files so that they can be monitored,
triggering a fresh parse if one changes.

Example:

    class C(object):
      def __init__(self):
        self._foo_path = '.foorc'
      @files_property
      def foo(self,paths):
        new_paths, result = parse(paths[0])
        return new_paths, result

The load function is called on the first access and on every
access thereafter where an associated file's `FileState` has
changed and the time since the last successful load exceeds
the poll_rate (1s). An attempt at avoiding races is made by
ignoring reloads that raise exceptions and ignoring reloads
where files that were stat()ed during the change check have
changed state after the load.

## Function `find(path, select=None, sort_names=True)`

Walk a directory tree `path`
yielding selected paths.

Note: not selecting a directory prunes all its descendants.

## Function `findup(path, test, first=False)`

Test the pathname `abspath(path)` and each of its ancestors
against the callable `test`,
yielding paths satisfying the test.

If `first` is true (default `False`)
this function always yields exactly one value,
either the first path satisfying the test or `None`.
This mode supports a use such as:

    matched_path = next(findup(path, test, first=True))
    # post condition: matched_path will be `None` on no match
    # otherwise the first matching path

## Function `gzifopen(path, mode='r', *a, **kw)`

Context manager to open a file which may be a plain file or a gzipped file.

If `path` ends with `'.gz'` then the filesystem paths attempted
are `path` and `path` without the extension, otherwise the
filesystem paths attempted are `path+'.gz'` and `path`.  In
this way a path ending in `'.gz'` indicates a preference for
a gzipped file otherwise an uncompressed file.

However, if exactly one of the paths exists already then only
that path will be used.

Note that the single character modes `'r'`, `'a'`, `'w'` and `'x'`
are text mode for both uncompressed and gzipped opens,
like the builtin `open` and *unlike* `gzip.open`.
This is to ensure equivalent behaviour.

## Function `iter_fd(fd, **kw)`

Iterate over data from the file descriptor `fd`.

## Function `iter_file(f, **kw)`

Iterate over data from the file `f`.

## Function `lines_of(fp, partials=None)`

Generator yielding lines from a file until EOF.
Intended for file-like objects that lack a line iteration API.

## Function `lockfile(path, *, ext=None, poll_interval=None, timeout=None, runstate: cs.resources.RunState)`

A context manager which takes and holds a lock file.
An open file descriptor is kept for the lock file as well
to aid locating the process holding the lock file using eg `lsof`.

Parameters:
* `path`: the base associated with the lock file.
* `ext`: the extension to the base used to construct the lock file name.
  Default: `'.lock'`
* `timeout`: maximum time to wait before failing.
  Default: `None` (wait forever).
* `poll_interval`: polling frequency when timeout is not `0`.
* `runstate`: optional `RunState` duck instance supporting cancellation.

## Function `make_files_property(attr_name=None, unset_object=None, poll_rate=1.0)`

Construct a decorator that watches multiple associated files.

Parameters:
* `attr_name`: the underlying attribute, default: `'_'+func.__name__`
* `unset_object`: the sentinel value for "uninitialised", default: `None`
* `poll_rate`: how often in seconds to poll the file for changes,
  default from `DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL`: `1.0`

The attribute *attr_name*`_lock` controls access to the property.
The attributes *attr_name*`_filestates` and *attr_name*`_paths` track the
associated files' state.
The attribute *attr_name*`_lastpoll` tracks the last poll time.

The decorated function is passed the current list of files
and returns the new list of files and the associated value.

One example use would be a configuration file with recursive
include operations; the inner function would parse the first
file in the list, and the parse would accumulate this filename
and those of any included files so that they can be monitored,
triggering a fresh parse if one changes.

Example:

    class C(object):
      def __init__(self):
        self._foo_path = '.foorc'
      @files_property
      def foo(self,paths):
        new_paths, result = parse(paths[0])
        return new_paths, result

The load function is called on the first access and on every
access thereafter where an associated file's `FileState` has
changed and the time since the last successful load exceeds
the `poll_rate`.

An attempt at avoiding races is made by
ignoring reloads that raise exceptions and ignoring reloads
where files that were `os.stat()`ed during the change check have
changed state after the load.

## Function `makelockfile(path, *, ext=None, poll_interval=None, timeout=None, runstate: cs.resources.RunState, keepopen=False)`

Create a lockfile and return its path.

The lockfile can be removed with `os.remove`.
This is the core functionality supporting the `lockfile()`
context manager.

Parameters:
* `path`: the base associated with the lock file,
  often the filesystem object whose access is being managed.
* `ext`: the extension to the base used to construct the lockfile name.
  Default: ".lock"
* `timeout`: maximum time to wait before failing.
  Default: `None` (wait forever).
  Note that zero is an accepted value
  and requires the lock to succeed on the first attempt.
* `poll_interval`: polling frequency when timeout is not 0.
* `runstate`: optional `RunState` duck instance supporting cancellation.
  Note that if a cancelled `RunState` is provided
  no attempt will be made to make the lockfile.
* `keepopen`: optional flag, default `False`:
  if true, do not close the lockfile and return `(lockpath,lockfd)`
  being the lock file path and the open file descriptor

## Function `max_suffix(dirpath, prefix)`

Compute the highest existing numeric suffix
for names starting with `prefix`.

This is generally used as a starting point for picking
a new numeric suffix.

## Function `mkdirn(path, sep='')`

Create a new directory named `path+sep+n`,
where `n` exceeds any name already present.

Parameters:
* `path`: the basic directory path.
* `sep`: a separator between `path` and `n`.
  Default: `''`

## Function `NamedTemporaryCopy(f, progress=False, progress_label=None, **kw)`

A context manager yielding a temporary copy of `filename`
as returned by `NamedTemporaryFile(**kw)`.

Parameters:
* `f`: the name of the file to copy, or an open binary file,
  or a `CornuCopyBuffer`
* `progress`: an optional progress indicator, default `False`;
  if a `bool`, show a progress bar for the copy phase if true;
  if an `int`, show a progress bar for the copy phase
  if the file size equals or exceeds the value;
  otherwise it should be a `cs.progress.Progress` instance
* `progress_label`: option progress bar label,
  only used if a progress bar is made
Other keyword parameters are passed to `tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile`.

## Class `NullFile`

Writable file that discards its input.

Note that this is _not_ an open of `os.devnull`;
it just discards writes and is not the underlying file descriptor.

*Method `NullFile.__init__(self)`*:
Initialise the file offset to 0.

## Class `Pathname(builtins.str)`

Subclass of str presenting convenience properties useful for
format strings related to file paths.

## Function `poll_file(path, old_state, reload_file, missing_ok=False)`

Watch a file for modification by polling its state as obtained
by `FileState()`.
Call `reload_file(path)` if the state changes.
Return `(new_state,reload_file(path))` if the file was modified
and was unchanged (stable state) before and after the reload_file().
Otherwise return `(None,None)`.

This may raise an `OSError` if the `path` cannot be `os.stat()`ed
and of course for any exceptions that occur calling `reload_file`.

If `missing_ok` is true then a failure to `os.stat()` which
raises `OSError` with `ENOENT` will just return `(None,None)`.

## Function `read_data(fp, nbytes, rsize=None)`

Read `nbytes` of data from `fp`, return the data.

Parameters:
* `nbytes`: number of bytes to copy.
  If `None`, copy until EOF.
* `rsize`: read size, default `DEFAULT_READSIZE`.

## Function `read_from(fp, rsize=None, tail_mode=False, tail_delay=None)`

Generator to present text or data from an open file until EOF.

Parameters:
* `rsize`: read size, default: DEFAULT_READSIZE
* `tail_mode`: if true, yield an empty chunk at EOF, allowing resumption
  if the file grows.

## Class `ReadMixin`

Useful read methods to accomodate modes not necessarily available in a class.

Note that this mixin presumes that the attribute `self._lock`
is a threading.RLock like context manager.

Classes using this mixin should consider overriding the default
.datafrom method with something more efficient or direct.

## Function `rewrite(filepath, srcf, mode='w', backup_ext=None, do_rename=False, do_diff=None, empty_ok=False, overwrite_anyway=False)`

Rewrite the file `filepath` with data from the file object `srcf`.

Parameters:
* `filepath`: the name of the file to rewrite.
* `srcf`: the source file containing the new content.
* `mode`: the write-mode for the file, default `'w'` (for text);
  use `'wb'` for binary data.
* `empty_ok`: if true (default `False`),
  do not raise `ValueError` if the new data are empty.
* `overwrite_anyway`: if true (default `False`),
  skip the content check and overwrite unconditionally.
* `backup_ext`: if a nonempty string,
  take a backup of the original at `filepath + backup_ext`.
* `do_diff`: if not `None`, call `do_diff(filepath,tempfile)`.
* `do_rename`: if true (default `False`),
  rename the temp file to `filepath`
  after copying the permission bits.
  Otherwise (default), copy the tempfile to `filepath`;
  this preserves the file's inode and permissions etc.

## Function `rewrite_cmgr(filepath, mode='w', **kw)`

Rewrite a file, presented as a context manager.

Parameters:
* `mode`: file write mode, defaulting to "w" for text.

Other keyword parameters are passed to `rewrite()`.

Example:

    with rewrite_cmgr(pathname, do_rename=True) as f:
        ... write new content to f ...

## Class `RWFileBlockCache`

A scratch file for storing data.

*Method `RWFileBlockCache.__init__(self, pathname=None, dirpath=None, suffix=None, lock=None)`*:
Initialise the file.

Parameters:
* `pathname`: path of file. If None, create a new file with
  tempfile.mkstemp using dir=`dirpath` and unlink that file once
  opened.
* `dirpath`: location for the file if made by mkstemp as above.
* `lock`: an object to use as a mutex, allowing sharing with
  some outer system. A Lock will be allocated if omitted.

## Function `saferename(oldpath, newpath)`

Rename a path using `os.rename()`,
but raise an exception if the target path already exists.
Note: slightly racey.

## Function `seekable(fp)`

Try to test whether a filelike object is seekable.

First try the `IOBase.seekable` method, otherwise try getting a file
descriptor from `fp.fileno` and `os.stat()`ing that,
otherwise return `False`.

## Class `Tee`

An object with .write, .flush and .close methods
which copies data to multiple output files.

*Method `Tee.__init__(self, *fps)`*:
Initialise the Tee; any arguments are taken to be output file objects.

## Function `tee(fp, fp2)`

Context manager duplicating .write and .flush from fp to fp2.

## Function `tmpdir()`

Return the pathname of the default temporary directory for scratch data,
the environment variable `$TMPDIR` or `'/tmp'`.

## Function `tmpdirn(tmp=None)`

Make a new temporary directory with a numeric suffix.

## Function `trysaferename(oldpath, newpath)`

A `saferename()` that returns `True` on success,
`False` on failure.

    "description": "My grab bag of convenience functions for files and filenames/pathnames.\n\n*Latest release 20240316*:\nFixed release upload artifacts.\n\n## Function `abspath_from_file(path, from_file)`\n\nReturn the absolute path of `path` with respect to `from_file`,\nas one might do for an include file.\n\n## Function `atomic_filename(filename, exists_ok=False, placeholder=False, dir=None, prefix=None, suffix=None, rename_func=<built-in function rename>, **kw)`\n\nA context manager to create `filename` atomicly on completion.\nThis returns a `NamedTemporaryFile` to use to create the file contents.\nOn completion the temporary file is renamed to the target name `filename`.\n\nParameters:\n* `filename`: the file name to create\n* `exists_ok`: default `False`;\n  if true it not an error if `filename` already exists\n* `placeholder`: create a placeholder file at `filename`\n  while the real contents are written to the temporary file\n* `dir`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies the directory\n  to hold the temporary file; the default is `dirname(filename)`\n  to ensure the rename is atomic\n* `prefix`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies a prefix\n  for the temporary file; the default is a dot (`'.'`) plus the prefix\n  from `splitext(basename(filename))`\n* `suffix`: passed to `NamedTemporaryFile`, specifies a suffix\n  for the temporary file; the default is the extension obtained\n  from `splitext(basename(filename))`\n* `rename_func`: a callable accepting `(tempname,filename)`\n  used to rename the temporary file to the final name; the\n  default is `os.rename` and this parametr exists to accept\n  something such as `FSTags.move`\nOther keyword arguments are passed to the `NamedTemporaryFile` constructor.\n\nExample:\n\n    >>> import os\n    >>> from os.path import exists as existspath\n    >>> fn = 'test_atomic_filename'\n    >>> with atomic_filename(fn, mode='w') as f:\n    ...     assert not existspath(fn)\n    ...     print('foo', file=f)\n    ...     assert not existspath(fn)\n    ...\n    >>> assert existspath(fn)\n    >>> assert open(fn).read() == 'foo\\n'\n    >>> os.remove(fn)\n\n## Class `BackedFile(ReadMixin)`\n\nA RawIOBase duck type\nwhich uses a backing file for initial data\nand writes new data to a front scratch file.\n\n*Method `BackedFile.__init__(self, back_file, dirpath=None)`*:\nInitialise the BackedFile using `back_file` for the backing data.\n\n## Class `BackedFile_TestMethods`\n\nMixin for testing subclasses of BackedFile.\nTests self.backed_fp.\n\n## Function `byteses_as_fd(bss, **kw)`\n\nDeliver the iterable of bytes `bss` as a readable file descriptor.\n      Return the file descriptor.\n      Any keyword arguments are passed to `CornuCopyBuffer.as_fd`.\n\n      Example:\n\n           # present a passphrase for use as in input file descrptor\n           # for a subprocess\n           rfd = byteses_as_fd([(passphrase + '\n').encode()])\n\n## Function `common_path_prefix(*paths)`\n\nReturn the common path prefix of the `paths`.\n\nNote that the common prefix of `'/a/b/c1'` and `'/a/b/c2'`\nis `'/a/b/'`, _not_ `'/a/b/c'`.\n\nCallers may find it useful to preadjust the supplied paths\nwith `normpath`, `abspath` or `realpath` from `os.path`;\nsee the `os.path` documentation for the various caveats\nwhich go with those functions.\n\nExamples:\n\n    >>> # the obvious\n    >>> common_path_prefix('', '')\n    ''\n    >>> common_path_prefix('/', '/')\n    '/'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('a', 'a')\n    'a'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('a', 'b')\n    ''\n    >>> # nonempty directory path prefixes end in os.sep\n    >>> common_path_prefix('/', '/a')\n    '/'\n    >>> # identical paths include the final basename\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a', 'p/a')\n    'p/a'\n    >>> # the comparison does not normalise paths\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p//a')\n    'p//a'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p//b')\n    'p//'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p//a', 'p/a')\n    'p/'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a', 'p/b')\n    'p/'\n    >>> # the comparison strips complete unequal path components\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a1', 'p/a2')\n    'p/'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('p/a/b1', 'p/a/b2')\n    'p/a/'\n    >>> # contrast with cs.lex.common_prefix\n    >>> common_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1')\n    'abc/def'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1')\n    'abc/'\n    >>> common_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1', 'abc/def2')\n    'abc/def'\n    >>> common_path_prefix('abc/def', 'abc/def1', 'abc/def2')\n    'abc/'\n\n## Function `compare(f1, f2, mode='rb')`\n\nCompare the contents of two file-like objects `f1` and `f2` for equality.\n\nIf `f1` or `f2` is a string, open the named file using `mode`\n(default: `\"rb\"`).\n\n## Function `copy_data(fpin, fpout, nbytes, rsize=None)`\n\nCopy `nbytes` of data from `fpin` to `fpout`,\nreturn the number of bytes copied.\n\nParameters:\n* `nbytes`: number of bytes to copy.\n  If `None`, copy until EOF.\n* `rsize`: read size, default `DEFAULT_READSIZE`.\n\n## Function `crop_name(name, ext=None, name_max=255)`\n\nCrop a file basename so as not to exceed `name_max` in length.\nReturn the original `name` if it already short enough.\nOtherwise crop `name` before the file extension\nto make it short enough.\n\nParameters:\n* `name`: the file basename to crop\n* `ext`: optional file extension;\n  the default is to infer the extension with `os.path.splitext`.\n* `name_max`: optional maximum length, default: `255`\n\n## Function `datafrom(f, offset=None, readsize=None, maxlength=None)`\n\nGeneral purpose reader for files yielding data from `offset`.\n\n*WARNING*: this function might move the file pointer.\n\nParameters:\n* `f`: the file from which to read data;\n  if a string, the file is opened with mode=\"rb\";\n  if an int, treated as an OS file descriptor;\n  otherwise presumed to be a file-like object.\n  If that object has a `.fileno()` method, treat that as an\n  OS file descriptor and use it.\n* `offset`: starting offset for the data\n* `maxlength`: optional maximum amount of data to yield\n* `readsize`: read size, default DEFAULT_READSIZE.\n\nFor file-like objects, the read1 method is used in preference\nto read if available. The file pointer is briefly moved during\nfetches.\n\n## Function `datafrom_fd(fd, offset=None, readsize=None, aligned=True, maxlength=None)`\n\nGeneral purpose reader for file descriptors yielding data from `offset`.\n**Note**: This does not move the file descriptor position\n**if** the file is seekable.\n\nParameters:\n* `fd`: the file descriptor from which to read.\n* `offset`: the offset from which to read.\n  If omitted, use the current file descriptor position.\n* `readsize`: the read size, default: `DEFAULT_READSIZE`\n* `aligned`: if true (the default), the first read is sized\n  to align the new offset with a multiple of `readsize`.\n* `maxlength`: if specified yield no more than this many bytes of data.\n\n## Function `file_based(*da, **dkw)`\n\nA decorator which caches a value obtained from a file.\n\nIn addition to all the keyword arguments for `@cs.deco.cachedmethod`,\nthis decorator also accepts the following arguments:\n* `attr_name`: the name for the associated attribute, used as\n  the basis for the internal cache value attribute\n* `filename`: the filename to monitor.\n  Default from the `._{attr_name}__filename` attribute.\n  This value will be passed to the method as the `filename` keyword\n  parameter.\n* `poll_delay`: delay between file polls, default `DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL`.\n* `sig_func`: signature function used to encapsulate the relevant\n  information about the file; default\n  cs.filestate.FileState({filename}).\n\nIf the decorated function raises OSError with errno == ENOENT,\nthis returns None. Other exceptions are reraised.\n\n## Function `file_data(fp, nbytes=None, rsize=None)`\n\nRead `nbytes` of data from `fp` and yield the chunks as read.\n\nParameters:\n* `nbytes`: number of bytes to read; if None read until EOF.\n* `rsize`: read size, default DEFAULT_READSIZE.\n\n## Function `file_property(*da, **dkw)`\n\nA property whose value reloads if a file changes.\n\n## Function `files_property(func)`\n\nA property whose value reloads if any of a list of files changes.\n\nNote: this is just the default mode for `make_files_property`.\n\n`func` accepts the file path and returns the new value.\nThe underlying attribute name is `'_'+func.__name__`,\nthe default from `make_files_property()`.\nThe attribute *{attr_name}*`_lock` is a mutex controlling access to the property.\nThe attributes *{attr_name}*`_filestates` and *{attr_name}*`_paths` track the\nassociated file states.\nThe attribute *{attr_name}*`_lastpoll` tracks the last poll time.\n\nThe decorated function is passed the current list of files\nand returns the new list of files and the associated value.\n\nOne example use would be a configuration file with recurive\ninclude operations; the inner function would parse the first\nfile in the list, and the parse would accumulate this filename\nand those of any included files so that they can be monitored,\ntriggering a fresh parse if one changes.\n\nExample:\n\n    class C(object):\n      def __init__(self):\n        self._foo_path = '.foorc'\n      @files_property\n      def foo(self,paths):\n        new_paths, result = parse(paths[0])\n        return new_paths, result\n\nThe load function is called on the first access and on every\naccess thereafter where an associated file's `FileState` has\nchanged and the time since the last successful load exceeds\nthe poll_rate (1s). An attempt at avoiding races is made by\nignoring reloads that raise exceptions and ignoring reloads\nwhere files that were stat()ed during the change check have\nchanged state after the load.\n\n## Function `find(path, select=None, sort_names=True)`\n\nWalk a directory tree `path`\nyielding selected paths.\n\nNote: not selecting a directory prunes all its descendants.\n\n## Function `findup(path, test, first=False)`\n\nTest the pathname `abspath(path)` and each of its ancestors\nagainst the callable `test`,\nyielding paths satisfying the test.\n\nIf `first` is true (default `False`)\nthis function always yields exactly one value,\neither the first path satisfying the test or `None`.\nThis mode supports a use such as:\n\n    matched_path = next(findup(path, test, first=True))\n    # post condition: matched_path will be `None` on no match\n    # otherwise the first matching path\n\n## Function `gzifopen(path, mode='r', *a, **kw)`\n\nContext manager to open a file which may be a plain file or a gzipped file.\n\nIf `path` ends with `'.gz'` then the filesystem paths attempted\nare `path` and `path` without the extension, otherwise the\nfilesystem paths attempted are `path+'.gz'` and `path`.  In\nthis way a path ending in `'.gz'` indicates a preference for\na gzipped file otherwise an uncompressed file.\n\nHowever, if exactly one of the paths exists already then only\nthat path will be used.\n\nNote that the single character modes `'r'`, `'a'`, `'w'` and `'x'`\nare text mode for both uncompressed and gzipped opens,\nlike the builtin `open` and *unlike* `gzip.open`.\nThis is to ensure equivalent behaviour.\n\n## Function `iter_fd(fd, **kw)`\n\nIterate over data from the file descriptor `fd`.\n\n## Function `iter_file(f, **kw)`\n\nIterate over data from the file `f`.\n\n## Function `lines_of(fp, partials=None)`\n\nGenerator yielding lines from a file until EOF.\nIntended for file-like objects that lack a line iteration API.\n\n## Function `lockfile(path, *, ext=None, poll_interval=None, timeout=None, runstate: cs.resources.RunState)`\n\nA context manager which takes and holds a lock file.\nAn open file descriptor is kept for the lock file as well\nto aid locating the process holding the lock file using eg `lsof`.\n\nParameters:\n* `path`: the base associated with the lock file.\n* `ext`: the extension to the base used to construct the lock file name.\n  Default: `'.lock'`\n* `timeout`: maximum time to wait before failing.\n  Default: `None` (wait forever).\n* `poll_interval`: polling frequency when timeout is not `0`.\n* `runstate`: optional `RunState` duck instance supporting cancellation.\n\n## Function `make_files_property(attr_name=None, unset_object=None, poll_rate=1.0)`\n\nConstruct a decorator that watches multiple associated files.\n\nParameters:\n* `attr_name`: the underlying attribute, default: `'_'+func.__name__`\n* `unset_object`: the sentinel value for \"uninitialised\", default: `None`\n* `poll_rate`: how often in seconds to poll the file for changes,\n  default from `DEFAULT_POLL_INTERVAL`: `1.0`\n\nThe attribute *attr_name*`_lock` controls access to the property.\nThe attributes *attr_name*`_filestates` and *attr_name*`_paths` track the\nassociated files' state.\nThe attribute *attr_name*`_lastpoll` tracks the last poll time.\n\nThe decorated function is passed the current list of files\nand returns the new list of files and the associated value.\n\nOne example use would be a configuration file with recursive\ninclude operations; the inner function would parse the first\nfile in the list, and the parse would accumulate this filename\nand those of any included files so that they can be monitored,\ntriggering a fresh parse if one changes.\n\nExample:\n\n    class C(object):\n      def __init__(self):\n        self._foo_path = '.foorc'\n      @files_property\n      def foo(self,paths):\n        new_paths, result = parse(paths[0])\n        return new_paths, result\n\nThe load function is called on the first access and on every\naccess thereafter where an associated file's `FileState` has\nchanged and the time since the last successful load exceeds\nthe `poll_rate`.\n\nAn attempt at avoiding races is made by\nignoring reloads that raise exceptions and ignoring reloads\nwhere files that were `os.stat()`ed during the change check have\nchanged state after the load.\n\n## Function `makelockfile(path, *, ext=None, poll_interval=None, timeout=None, runstate: cs.resources.RunState, keepopen=False)`\n\nCreate a lockfile and return its path.\n\nThe lockfile can be removed with `os.remove`.\nThis is the core functionality supporting the `lockfile()`\ncontext manager.\n\nParameters:\n* `path`: the base associated with the lock file,\n  often the filesystem object whose access is being managed.\n* `ext`: the extension to the base used to construct the lockfile name.\n  Default: \".lock\"\n* `timeout`: maximum time to wait before failing.\n  Default: `None` (wait forever).\n  Note that zero is an accepted value\n  and requires the lock to succeed on the first attempt.\n* `poll_interval`: polling frequency when timeout is not 0.\n* `runstate`: optional `RunState` duck instance supporting cancellation.\n  Note that if a cancelled `RunState` is provided\n  no attempt will be made to make the lockfile.\n* `keepopen`: optional flag, default `False`:\n  if true, do not close the lockfile and return `(lockpath,lockfd)`\n  being the lock file path and the open file descriptor\n\n## Function `max_suffix(dirpath, prefix)`\n\nCompute the highest existing numeric suffix\nfor names starting with `prefix`.\n\nThis is generally used as a starting point for picking\na new numeric suffix.\n\n## Function `mkdirn(path, sep='')`\n\nCreate a new directory named `path+sep+n`,\nwhere `n` exceeds any name already present.\n\nParameters:\n* `path`: the basic directory path.\n* `sep`: a separator between `path` and `n`.\n  Default: `''`\n\n## Function `NamedTemporaryCopy(f, progress=False, progress_label=None, **kw)`\n\nA context manager yielding a temporary copy of `filename`\nas returned by `NamedTemporaryFile(**kw)`.\n\nParameters:\n* `f`: the name of the file to copy, or an open binary file,\n  or a `CornuCopyBuffer`\n* `progress`: an optional progress indicator, default `False`;\n  if a `bool`, show a progress bar for the copy phase if true;\n  if an `int`, show a progress bar for the copy phase\n  if the file size equals or exceeds the value;\n  otherwise it should be a `cs.progress.Progress` instance\n* `progress_label`: option progress bar label,\n  only used if a progress bar is made\nOther keyword parameters are passed to `tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile`.\n\n## Class `NullFile`\n\nWritable file that discards its input.\n\nNote that this is _not_ an open of `os.devnull`;\nit just discards writes and is not the underlying file descriptor.\n\n*Method `NullFile.__init__(self)`*:\nInitialise the file offset to 0.\n\n## Class `Pathname(builtins.str)`\n\nSubclass of str presenting convenience properties useful for\nformat strings related to file paths.\n\n## Function `poll_file(path, old_state, reload_file, missing_ok=False)`\n\nWatch a file for modification by polling its state as obtained\nby `FileState()`.\nCall `reload_file(path)` if the state changes.\nReturn `(new_state,reload_file(path))` if the file was modified\nand was unchanged (stable state) before and after the reload_file().\nOtherwise return `(None,None)`.\n\nThis may raise an `OSError` if the `path` cannot be `os.stat()`ed\nand of course for any exceptions that occur calling `reload_file`.\n\nIf `missing_ok` is true then a failure to `os.stat()` which\nraises `OSError` with `ENOENT` will just return `(None,None)`.\n\n## Function `read_data(fp, nbytes, rsize=None)`\n\nRead `nbytes` of data from `fp`, return the data.\n\nParameters:\n* `nbytes`: number of bytes to copy.\n  If `None`, copy until EOF.\n* `rsize`: read size, default `DEFAULT_READSIZE`.\n\n## Function `read_from(fp, rsize=None, tail_mode=False, tail_delay=None)`\n\nGenerator to present text or data from an open file until EOF.\n\nParameters:\n* `rsize`: read size, default: DEFAULT_READSIZE\n* `tail_mode`: if true, yield an empty chunk at EOF, allowing resumption\n  if the file grows.\n\n## Class `ReadMixin`\n\nUseful read methods to accomodate modes not necessarily available in a class.\n\nNote that this mixin presumes that the attribute `self._lock`\nis a threading.RLock like context manager.\n\nClasses using this mixin should consider overriding the default\n.datafrom method with something more efficient or direct.\n\n## Function `rewrite(filepath, srcf, mode='w', backup_ext=None, do_rename=False, do_diff=None, empty_ok=False, overwrite_anyway=False)`\n\nRewrite the file `filepath` with data from the file object `srcf`.\n\nParameters:\n* `filepath`: the name of the file to rewrite.\n* `srcf`: the source file containing the new content.\n* `mode`: the write-mode for the file, default `'w'` (for text);\n  use `'wb'` for binary data.\n* `empty_ok`: if true (default `False`),\n  do not raise `ValueError` if the new data are empty.\n* `overwrite_anyway`: if true (default `False`),\n  skip the content check and overwrite unconditionally.\n* `backup_ext`: if a nonempty string,\n  take a backup of the original at `filepath + backup_ext`.\n* `do_diff`: if not `None`, call `do_diff(filepath,tempfile)`.\n* `do_rename`: if true (default `False`),\n  rename the temp file to `filepath`\n  after copying the permission bits.\n  Otherwise (default), copy the tempfile to `filepath`;\n  this preserves the file's inode and permissions etc.\n\n## Function `rewrite_cmgr(filepath, mode='w', **kw)`\n\nRewrite a file, presented as a context manager.\n\nParameters:\n* `mode`: file write mode, defaulting to \"w\" for text.\n\nOther keyword parameters are passed to `rewrite()`.\n\nExample:\n\n    with rewrite_cmgr(pathname, do_rename=True) as f:\n        ... write new content to f ...\n\n## Class `RWFileBlockCache`\n\nA scratch file for storing data.\n\n*Method `RWFileBlockCache.__init__(self, pathname=None, dirpath=None, suffix=None, lock=None)`*:\nInitialise the file.\n\nParameters:\n* `pathname`: path of file.
