AIO

Synthèse

Creates an AIO object to handle local and cloud files, and data stores in a unified way that can be used in Python.

Using this object, you can perform tasks such as copying files from one location to another and renaming or deleting a folder, as well as filing related operations including read and write. The AIO object can be used for cloud stores by specifying the path to an .acs file as the input. For a local data store, create an AIO object by specifying a local folder path, which will then be used as the current working directory, or by not specifying any parameter values.

Discussion

The AIO object supports file operations agnostic of the file system. The object currently supports Windows, Linux and major cloud storage implementations.

Apart from a local file system and UNC paths, the AIO object supports the following virtual cloud URIs for class initialization:

  • ACS Connection files (.acs)—Stores connection information in binary persisted encrypted format. See the Create Cloud Storage Connection File tool for more information.
  • /cloudStores json—Stores connection information in JSON format for ArcGIS Enterprise.
  • /vsi paths—GDAL is the preferred URI for file systems in agnostic file operations. See GDAL Virtual File Systems for more information.
  • http[s] paths—The cloud provider URL for a resource, which sometimes contains connection information such as Microsoft Azure SAS.
  • A cloud provider-specific URI schema prefix such as s3:// or abfs://.
Remarque :

Connection information can also be used through IAM/RBAC, GDAL environment options, and provider-specific CLI configuration files in the .aws, .azure, or bin/gdalrc folders.

All cloud-specific methods can be accessed using the cloud property.

When working with cloud operations, class methods support relative paths to the current working directory (aio.getcwd). If absolute paths are used, only vsi paths are supported. These types of operations return vsi paths by default. The type of output path can be overridden by providing the CloudPathType enum.

These methods follow the same conventions and behavior as Python native file system methods.

Syntaxe

AIO ({path})
ParamètreExplicationType de données
path

To construct an AIO object to handle a cloud store, use the .acs file path.

To construct an AIO object to handle a local file store, this parameter can be a local folder path or it can be left empty. If a local folder path is provided, it will be used as the current working directory.

Object

Vue d’ensemble des méthodes

MéthodeExplication
chdir (path)

Changes the working directory relative to the current working directory..

close (handle)

Closes the open file handle.

copy (src, dst, {options})

Copies a file from the source to the destination.

For a cloud-based AIO object:

  • If the src or dst value is a local path, use an absolute local path.
  • If the src or dst value is a cloud path, use a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute vsi cloud path.
  • If the src and dst values are cloud paths, use absolute vsi cloud paths.

For a local AIO object:

  • The src and dst values can be a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute path.
copytree (src, dst, {options})

Copies the contents from one directory to another.

For a cloud-based AIO object:

  • If the src or dst value is a local path, use an absolute local path.
  • If the src or dst value is a cloud path, use a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute vsi cloud path.
  • If the src and dst values are cloud paths, use absolute vsi cloud paths.

For a local AIO object:

  • The src and dst values can be a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute path.
exists (path)

Verifies whether a path exists.

getatime (path)

Gets the file access time for a file.

getctime (path)

Gets the file creation time for a file.

getcwd ({type})

Gets the current working directory.

getmtime (path)

Gets the file modification time for a file.

getpath (path, {type})

The handle must be explicitly closed.

remove (path)

rename (src, dst)

Renames or moves a file or a directory. Renaming cloud files is computationally intensive, as copy and delete are performed on the server side.

For a cloud based AIO object:

  • If the src or dst value is a local path, use an absolute local path.
  • If the src or dst value is a cloud path, use a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute vsi cloud path.
  • If the src and dst values are cloud paths, use absolute vsi cloud paths.

For a local AIO object:

  • The src and dst values can be a relative path from the current working directory or an absolute path.
