## Member Function Documentation

### QString QDir::absFilePath ( const QString & fileName, bool acceptAbsPath = true ) const

Use absoluteFilePath() instead.

### QString QDir::absPath () const

Use absolutePath() instead.

### QString QDir::cleanDirPath ( const QString & name ) `[static]`

Use cleanPath() instead.

### void QDir::convertToAbs ()

Use makeAbsolute() instead.

### QString QDir::currentDirPath () `[static]`

Returns the current working directory or "/" if the current directory cannot be determined.

See also homeDirPath() and rootDirPath().

### QFileInfoList QDir::entryInfoList ( const QString & nameFilter, int filterSpec = DefaultFilter, int sortSpec = DefaultSort ) const

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

Use the overload that takes a name filter string list as first argument instead.

### QStringList QDir::entryList ( const QString & nameFilter, int filterSpec = DefaultFilter, int sortSpec = DefaultSort ) const

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

Use the overload that takes a name filter string list as first argument instead.

### QString QDir::homeDirPath () `[static]`

Returns the user's home directory or an empty string if it cannot be determined.

See also currentDirPath() and rootDirPath().

### bool QDir::matchAllDirs () const

Use filter() & AllDirs instead.

### bool QDir::mkdir ( const QString & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath ) const

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

Tries to create a directory called dirName. Returns true on success; otherwise returns false. If acceptAbsPath is false dirName must be relative to the current working directory.

See also currentDirPath().

### QString QDir::nameFilter () const

Use nameFilters() instead.

### bool QDir::rmdir ( const QString & dirName, bool acceptAbsPath ) const

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

Tries to delete the directory specified by dirName. Returns true on success; otherwise returns false. If acceptAbsPath is false dirName must be relative to the current working directory.

See also currentDirPath().

### QString QDir::rootDirPath () `[static]`

Returns "/".

See also homeDirPath() and currentDirPath().

### void QDir::setMatchAllDirs ( bool on )

Use setFilter() instead.

### void QDir::setNameFilter ( const QString & nameFilter )

Use setNameFilters() instead.

For example, if you have code like

        QString filter = "*.cpp *.cxx *.cc";
        dir.setNameFilter(filter);

you can rewrite it as

        QString filter = "*.cpp *.cxx *.cc";
        dir.setNameFitlers(filter.split(' '));
