The following class members are part of the Qt 3 support layer. They are provided to help you port old code to Qt 4. We advise against using them in new code.

- QFileInfo class reference

### Public Types

- enum Permission { ReadOwner, WriteOwner, ExeOwner, ReadUser, ..., ExeOther }

### Public Functions

- QString absFilePath () const
- QString baseName ( bool complete )
- bool convertToAbs ()
- QDir dir ( bool absPath ) const
- QString dirPath ( bool absPath = false ) const
- QString extension ( bool complete = true ) const
- bool permission ( PermissionSpec permissions ) const

## Member Type Documentation

### enum QFileInfo::Permission
flags QFileInfo::PermissionSpec

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`QFileInfo::ReadOwner` | `QFile::ReadOwner`
`QFileInfo::WriteOwner` | `QFile::WriteOwner`
`QFileInfo::ExeOwner` | `QFile::ExeOwner`
`QFileInfo::ReadUser` | `QFile::ReadUser`
`QFileInfo::WriteUser` | `QFile::WriteUser`
`QFileInfo::ExeUser` | `QFile::ExeUser`
`QFileInfo::ReadGroup` | `QFile::ReadGroup`
`QFileInfo::WriteGroup` | `QFile::WriteGroup`
`QFileInfo::ExeGroup` | `QFile::ExeGroup`
`QFileInfo::ReadOther` | `QFile::ReadOther`
`QFileInfo::WriteOther` | `QFile::WriteOther`
`QFileInfo::ExeOther` | `QFile::ExeOther`

The PermissionSpec type is a typedef for QFlags<Permission>. It stores an OR combination of Permission values.

## Member Function Documentation

### QString QFileInfo::absFilePath () const

Use absoluteFilePath() instead.

### QString QFileInfo::baseName ( bool complete )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use completeBaseName() or the baseName() overload that takes no parameters instead.

### bool QFileInfo::convertToAbs ()

Use makeAbsolute() instead.

### QDir QFileInfo::dir ( bool absPath ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use absoluteDir() or the dir() overload that takes no parameters instead.

### QString QFileInfo::dirPath ( bool absPath = false ) const

Returns the path (which may be relative). If absPath is true, returns the absolute path, i.e., from the root.

### QString QFileInfo::extension ( bool complete = true ) const

Use completeSuffix() or suffix() instead.

### bool QFileInfo::permission ( PermissionSpec permissions ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use permission() instead.
