# Module `netapp_ontap.resources.file_info`

Copyright © 2020 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

## Overview

This API is used to read a file, write to a file, retrieve a list of files and directories, and retrieve or modify certain properties of files and directories. The path field is used to specify the path to the directory or file to be acted on. The path field requires using "%2E" to represent "." and "%2F" to represent "/" for the path provided.

## File data

Read and write data from/to a named file. To read a file, the Accept request HTTP header must be specified as multipart/form-data, and a value for the `length` query property, which represents the number of bytes to be read, must be specified. The API will fail if the length of data being read/written exceeds 1 MB. This API should only be used on normal files or streams associated with files. The results for other file types, such as LUNs is undefined.
The following APIs are used to read or write data to a file:

- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}?byte_offset=0&length=40 -H "Accept: multipart/form-data"
- POST /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path} -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" –form "file=the data to be written to the new file"
- PATCH /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}?byte_offset=10 -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" –form "file=the new data to be written or overwritten to the existing file starting at byte_offset"

## Listing directories and files

A list of files and directories and their properties can be retrieved for a specified path.
The following APIs are used to view a list of files and directories:

- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files
- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}
- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}?fields=*

## File information

The metadata and detailed information about a single directory or file can be retrieved by setting the `return_metadata` query property to `true`. The information returned includes type, creation_time, modified_time, changed_time, accessed_time, unix_permissions, ownder_id, group_id, size, hard_links_count, inode_number, is_empty, bytes_used, inode_generation, is_vm_aligned, is_junction, is_snapshot, and links.
The following API is used to view the properties of a single file or directory:

- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}?return_metadata=true

## QoS

QoS policies and settings enforce Service Level Objectives (SLO) on a file. A pre-created QoS policy can be used by specifying the `qos.name` or `qos.uuid` properties. The following APIs are used to assign a QoS policy to a file:

- PATCH /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path} -d '{ "qos_policy.name" : "policy" }'
- PATCH /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path} -d '{ "qos_policy.uuid" : "b89bc5dd-94a3-11e8-a7a3-0050568edf84" }'

## Symlinks

The following APIs are used to create a symlink and read the contents of a symlink:

- POST /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path} -d '{ "target" : "directory2/file1" }'
- GET /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}?return_metadata=true&fields=target

### Assigning a QoS policy to a file

You can use the PATCH request to assign a QoS policy to a file.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import FileInfo

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = FileInfo("cb6b1b39-8d21-11e9-b926-05056aca658", path="directory1/file1")
        resource.qos_policy.name = "policy"
        resource.patch()

## Classes

`class FileInfo (*args, **kwargs)`

  Information about a single file.

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Retrieves a list of files and directories for a given directory of a volume along with the directory's properties or only the properties of a given file of a volume.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}`

    Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

    ## Returns

    On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

  `def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource`

    Retrieves a list of files and directories for a given directory of a volume along with the directory's properties or only the properties of a given file of a volume.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `Resource` object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

    ## Raises

  `def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> typing.Iterable`

    Retrieves a list of files and directories for a given directory of a volume along with the directory's properties or only the properties of a given file of a volume.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`
      The maximum number of records to return per call
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

  `def patch_collection(body: dict, *args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Writes to an existing file with the supplied data or modifies the QoS policy of a file.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files/{path}`

    All records on the host which match the query will be patched with the provided body.

    ## Args

    `body`
      A dictionary of name/value pairs to set on all matching members of the collection.
    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to patch the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be patched.

    ## Returns
