Required for all ACTIONs. The name of the directory you want the action to be performed against.
Required for ACTION="List". Ignored for all other actions. Name of output query for directory listing.
Optional for ACTION="List". Ignored for all other actions. File extension filter to be applied to returned names, for example: *.cfm
. Only one mask filter can be applied at a time.
Optional. Used with ACTION="Create" to define the permissions for a directory in Solaris. Ignored in Windows. Valid entries correspond to the octal values (not symbolic) of the UNIX chmod
command. Permissions are assigned for owner, group, and other, respectively. For example:
MODE=644
Assigns all, owner read/write permission, group and other read/write permissions.
MODE=666
Assigns read/write permissions for owner, group, and other.
MODE=777
Assigns read, write, and execute permissions for all.
Optional for ACTION="List". Ignored for all other actions. List of query columns to sort directory listing by. Any combination of columns from query output can be specified in comma separated list. ASC or DESC can be specified as qualifiers for column names. ASC is the default. For example:
SORT="dirname ASC, filename2 DESC, size, datelastmodified"
Required for ACTION="Rename". Ignored for all other actions. The new name of the directory specified in the DIRECTORY attribute.
When using the ACTION=LIST, CFDIRECTORY returns five result columns you can reference in your CFOUTPUT:
chmod
shell command.
You can use the following result columns in standard CFML expressions, preceding the result column name with the name of the query:
#mydirectory.Name# #mydirectory.Size# #mydirectory.Type# #mydirectory.DateLastModified# #mydirectory.Attributes# #mydirectory.Mode#
