### Properties

`boolean $checked= 'true'`
inherited

Are we sure we don't hold circular references?

Inherited from: \DataType::$$checked

Subclasses are responsible for setting this value to false if we'd need to investigate this condition (usually because a child element has been added that is a subclass of DataType).

Default value `true` Details

Type
  boolean
Inherited_from
  \DataType::$$checked

`$description= 'null'`
inherited

  n/a

`$filenames= 'array()'`

Array containing all filenames.

### Methods

`__construct( $filelist = null ) : void`

Construct a new FileList.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$filelist |  |

`circularReference( ) : void`
inherited

Creates an exception that indicates the user has generated a loop of data types referencing each other.

Inherited from: \DataType::circularReference()
`dieOnCircularReference( $stk, $p ) : void`
inherited

Check to see whether any DataType we hold references to is included in the Stack (which holds all DataType instances that directly or indirectly reference this instance, including this instance itself).

Inherited from: \DataType::dieOnCircularReference()

If one is included, throw a BuildException created by circularReference

This implementation is appropriate only for a DataType that cannot hold other DataTypes as children.

The general contract of this method is that it shouldn't do anything if checked is true and set it to true on exit.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$stk |  |
$p |  |

`getCheckedRef( $requiredClass, $dataTypeName ) : void`
inherited

Performs the check for circular references and returns the referenced object.

Parameters

--- | --- | ---
$requiredClass |  |
$dataTypeName |  |

`getDescription( ) : void`
inherited

Return the description for the current data type.

Inherited from: \DataType::getDescription()
`getDir( $p ) : \PhingFile`

`getFiles( \Project $p ) : array`

Returns the list of files represented by this FileList.

Parameters

Returns

Type | Description

array |

`getListFile( \Project $p ) : \PhingFile`

Get the source "list" file that contains file names.

Parameters

Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
\PhingFile |

`getProject( ) : void`
inherited

Inherited from: ProjectComponent::getProject()\DataType::getProject()
`getRef( \Project $p ) : void`

Performs the check for circular references and returns the referenced FileSet.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---

Has the refid attribute of this element been set?

Inherited from: \DataType::isReference()
`log( ) : void`
inherited

Inherited from: ProjectComponent::log()\DataType::log()
`noChildrenAllowed( ) : void`
inherited

Creates an exception that indicates that this XML element must not have child elements if the refid attribute is set.

Inherited from: \DataType::noChildrenAllowed()
`parsingComplete( ) : void`
inherited

Template method being called when the data type has been parsed completely.

Inherited from: \DataType::parsingComplete()
`readListFile( \Project $p ) : void`

Reads file names from a file and adds them to the files array.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$p | \Project |

`setDescription( $desc ) : void`
inherited

Sets a description of the current data type. It will be useful in commenting what we are doing.

Inherited from: \DataType::setDescription()
Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$desc |  |

`setDir( \PhingFile $dir ) : void`

Base directory for files in list.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$dir | \PhingFile |

`setFiles( array $filenames ) : void`

Set the array of files in list.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$filenames | array |

`setListFile( string $file ) : void`

Sets a source "list" file that contains filenames to add -- one per line.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
$file | string |

`setProject( ) : void`
inherited

Inherited from: ProjectComponent::setProject()\DataType::setProject()
`setRefid( \Reference $r ) : void`

Makes this instance in effect a reference to another FileList instance.

Subclasses may need to check whether any other attributes have been set as well or child elements have been created and thus override this method. if they do they must call parent::setRefid()
