# classes/phing/types/selectors/DependSelector.php

Selector that filters files based on whether they are newer than a matching file in another directory tree. It can contain a mapper element, so isn't available as an ExtendSelector (since those parameters can't hold other elements).

## \DependSelector
jump to top

Selector that filters files based on whether they are newer than a matching file in another directory tree. It can contain a mapper element, so isn't available as an ExtendSelector (since those parameters can't hold other elements).

This class handles the common description attribute and provides a default implementation for reference handling and checking for circular references that is appropriate for types that can not be nested inside elements of the same type (i.e. patternset but not path)

Details

throws

`isSelected( \basedir $basedir, \filename $filename, \file $file ) : \whether`
The heart of the matter. This is where the selector gets to decide on the inclusion of a file in a particular fileset.
Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$basedir | \basedir | the base directory the scan is being done from
$filename | \filename | is the name of the file to check
$file | \file | is a PhingFile object the selector can use

Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
\whether |

`setGranularity( $granularity ) :`
Sets the number of milliseconds leeway we will give before we consider a file out of date.
Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$granularity |  |

`setTargetdir( \targetdir $targetdir ) :`
The name of the file or directory which is checked for out-of-date files.
Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$targetdir | \targetdir | the directory to scan looking for files.

`toString( ) :`
`verifySettings( ) :`
Checks to make sure all settings are kosher. In this case, it means that the dest attribute has been set and we have a mapper.
