LocalObject
represents a new anonymous local object.
LocalObject["file:///…"]
represents a local object with a given file path.
LocalObject["relpath"]
represents a local object with the given relative path.
LocalObject["relpath","lbase"]
represents a local object relative to the base lbase.
Details
- Relative paths are resolved with respect to $LocalBase.
- LocalObject[File["path"]] and LocalObject[relpath,File["path"]] are also supported.
- DeleteObject[LocalObject[…]] removes a local object.
- LocalObject[…]["property"] gives the value of the specified property for the given local object.
- Properties of local objects include:
-
"URL" the absolute file: URL of the local object "Type" the type of information stored in the local object "ObjectFile" the absolute path of the metadata file "DataFile" the absolute path of the data file - LocalObject[…]["Properties"] gives the list of all supported properties of the given local object.
- LocalObject[…][All] gives an association of propertyvalue pairs for all properties of the given local object.
