  21. Dired Mark Internals
  22. ====================
  23.    This is a short overview about how marking files and retrieving
  24. marked files in Dired works.
  25.    `ls' output is indented two spaces two make room for an optional
  26. marker character in front of each file line.  Marking simply replaces
  27. the first space with the marker character, usually `*' or, for
  28. deletions, `D'.  Indenting just by one would leave the markers adjacent
  29. to the permission bits.
  30. `dired-mark-if'
  31.      The macro `dired-mark-if' is used internally to mark files matching
  32.      certain criteria. It takes two arguments, the PREDICATE, a lisp
  33.      expression evaluating non-nil on file lines to be marked, and MSG,
  34.      a message to be displayed while scanning the buffer.  MSG may be
  35.      nil to suppress the message.
  36. `dired-mark-map'
  37.      To operate on the marked files, all internal Dired functions
  38.      ultimately call the macro `dired-mark-map'.  It takes two
  39.      arguments, BODY and ARG, plus an optional argument SHOW-PROGRESS:
  40.      Perform BODY with point somewhere on each marked line (inside a
  41.      `save-excursion') and return a list of BODY's results.  If no
  42.      marked file could be found, execute BODY on the current line.
  43.      If ARG is an integer, use the next ARG (or previous -ARG, if
  44.      ARG<0) files instead of the marked files.  In that case point is
  45.      dragged along.  This is so that commands on the next ARG (instead
  46.      of the marked) files can be chained easily.  Note that for
  47.      positive ARG point is left on the first file not operated upon, for
  48.      negative on the last file operated upon
  49.      If ARG is otherwise non-nil, use current file instead.
  50.      If optional third argument SHOW-PROGRESS evaluates to non-nil, we
  51.      redisplay the Dired buffer after each file is processed.  No
  52.      guarantee is made about the position on the marked line.  BODY
  53.      must ensure this itself if it depends on this.  Search starts at
  54.      the beginning of the buffer, thus the `car' of the list
  55.      corresponds to the line nearest to the buffer's bottom.  This is
  56.      also true for (positive and negative) integer values of ARG.  The
  57.      BODY should not be too long as it is expanded four times.
  58. A common case is to retrieve the names of all marked files:
  59. `dired-mark-get-files'
  60.      Return the marked files as list of strings.  The list is in the
  61.      same order as the buffer, that is, the car is the first marked
  62.      file.  Values returned are normally absolute pathnames.  Optional
  63.      argument LOCALP equal to `no-dir' means return the filename proper
  64.      only, with no directory information; any other non-nil value means
  65.      make them relative to default-directory.  Optional second argument
  66.      ARG forces use of other files.  If ARG is an integer, use the next
  67.      ARG files.  If ARG is otherwise non-nil, use the current file.

  69. Known Problems with Dired
  70. *************************
  71.    There are some problems with Dired that are either not Dired's fault,
  72. hard to fix or not worth fixing.
  73.    * Renaming directories usually works fine (all affected Dired and
  74.      file buffers are updated), but moving a directory between different
  75.      filesystems (those on different hard disks or different
  76.      partitions) does not work: it creates a plain target file
  77.      containing the contents of the original directory (inodes and
  78.      filenames) or fails completely.
  79.      Unfortunately Emacs' builtin function `rename-file' does not give
  80.      you a clear error message like `cross-device link attempted', but
  81.      rather a spurious `(file-error "Removing old name" "not owner")',
  82.      at least in Emacs 18.55.
  83.      On some systems renaming a directory always fails (even within the
  84.      same filesystem) with the spurious `not owner' error.
  85.    * If `foo' is a symlink to a non-existing file, `(file-exists-p
  86.      "foo")' returns nil.  Thus, Dired will overwite such (strange)
  87.      kinds of symlinks without noticing.
  88.      Dired could test both `file-symlink-p' and `file-exists-p', but
  89.      this would slow down all file operations to catch a very rare case.
  90.    * Copying a directory does not work - it results in a zero-length
  91.      target file.
  92.      This comes from Emacs' `copy-file' function, not from Dired.
  93.      If you really want to copy a directory (recursively), use `!' and
  94.      your favorite shell command to do it (e.g. cp -R or cp -r).
  95.    * Initial spaces in a filename are not recognized.  If I could be
  96.      sure that all `ls' programs insert exactly one space between the
  97.      time and the filename, I could easily fix this.  But `ls' programs
  98.      tend to vary in their amount of white space, and even with one
  99.      `ls' program there is a difference between year and clocktime
  100.      formats
  101.             drwxr-xr-x 2 ab027    thp           512 Aug 13 1990  thp/
  102.             drwxr-xr-x 4 ab027    thp           512 Feb  3 21:59 ./
  103.      If your `ls' supports the `-b' switch and quotes spaces with that
  104.      switch, simply add `b' to your `dired-listing-switches'.  *Note
  105.      Listing Files in Dired::.
  106.      Spaces anywhere but at the beginning do work.
  107.    * In general, only commands that may have targets outside of the
  108.      current directory tree update other buffers (copy, move and link
  109.      commands).
  110.      Especially, deletions, (un)compress, chmod/chgrp/chown update only
  111.      the current buffer.
  112.    * Some compress programs make output even if all goes well.  Dired
  113.      takes output as a sign of trouble and assumes that the subprocess
  114.      failed.
  115.      Redefine function `dired-check-process-checker' suitably to look
  116.      closer at the generated output.  In Emacs 19, the exit status of
  117.      compress will be checked.
  118.    * Aliases like `rm -i' for `rm' or `ls -F' for `ls' can cause
  119.      problems in Dired's (and Emacs') shell command.  (Aliases for `ls'
  120.      only matter if you dired wildcards, because only then the shell is
  121.      used to run `ls'.)  Csh expands aliases only for interactive
  122.      shells, which is probably what you want.  In Bash, you can achieve
  123.      this by testing `PS1' in your `~/.bashrc':
  124.             # `.bashrc' file
  125.             # this test fails when invoked by rsh
  126.             if [ "${PS1-no}" != "no" ]       # is this an interactive shell?
  127.             then
  128.                 . ~/.bash_alias          # if so, source aliases
  129.             fi
  130.    * Directory names starting with `-' (a minus) may lose when they are
  131.      to be created or removed.  If you care about this, and your rmdir
  132.      and mkdir understand about `--' meaning end of options, change
  133.      `emacs-19.el' accordingly.
  134.      In Emacs 19 the `make-directory' and `remove-directory' operations
  135.      will be builtin, not implemented with `rmdir' and `mkdir'
  136.      subprocesses.
  137.    * `dired-nstd.el': This is still buggy.  For example, after you've
  138.      compressed the last file it may not correctly return that file's
  139.      absolute pathname (`dired-current-directory' erronously returns nil
  140.      because of markers collapsed during redisplay), ultimately leading
  141.      to lisp errors.
  142.    * The regexp-using `%'-commands get into an endless loop if you
  143.      specify a regular expression that matches the empty string.
  144.    * Function `find-alternate-file' in Emacs 18.57 has a bug that causes
  145.      `C-x C-v RET' (which usually re-visits the current buffer) to fail
  146.      on Dired buffers.  This is fixed in the version in `emacs-19.el',
  147.      automatically loaded by Dired.
  148.    * It is not possible to resort the Dired buffer without reverting
  149.      it. That would be hard to implement (and slow to run) given that
  150.      ls date format would have to be parsed for `ls -t' sorting order.
