# Class SourceFileScanner

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.util.SourceFileScanner

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ResourceFactory`

    public class SourceFileScanner
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements ResourceFactory

Utility class that collects the functionality of the various scanDir methods that have been scattered in several tasks before.

The only method returns an array of source files. The array is a subset of the files given as a parameter and holds only those that are newer than their corresponding target files.

  `Resource` | `getResource​(java.lang.String name)` | Returns resource information for a file at destination.
  `java.lang.String[]` | `restrict​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper)` | Restrict the given set of files to those that are newer than their corresponding target files.
  `java.lang.String[]` | `restrict​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper, long granularity)` | Restrict the given set of files to those that are newer than their corresponding target files.
  `java.io.File[]` | `restrictAsFiles​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper)` | Convenience layer on top of restrict that returns the source files as File objects (containing absolute paths if srcDir is absolute).
  `java.io.File[]` | `restrictAsFiles​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper, long granularity)` | Convenience layer on top of restrict that returns the source files as File objects (containing absolute paths if srcDir is absolute).

    public SourceFileScanner​(Task task)
    Construct a new SourceFileScanner.
    Parameters:
      `task` - The task we should log messages through.

- ## Method Details

  - ### restrict

    public java.lang.String[] restrict​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper)
    Restrict the given set of files to those that are newer than their corresponding target files.
    Parameters:
      `files` - the original set of files.
      `srcDir` - all files are relative to this directory.
      `destDir` - target files live here. if null file names returned by the mapper are assumed to be absolute.
      `mapper` - knows how to construct a target file names from source file names.
    Returns:
      an array of filenames.

  - ### restrict

    public java.lang.String[] restrict​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper, long granularity)
    Restrict the given set of files to those that are newer than their corresponding target files.
    Parameters:
      `files` - the original set of files.
      `srcDir` - all files are relative to this directory.
      `destDir` - target files live here. If null file names returned by the mapper are assumed to be absolute.
      `mapper` - knows how to construct a target file names from source file names.
      `granularity` - The number of milliseconds leeway to give before deciding a target is out of date.
    Returns:
      an array of filenames.
    Since:
      Ant 1.6.2

  - ### restrictAsFiles

    public java.io.File[] restrictAsFiles​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper)
    Convenience layer on top of restrict that returns the source files as File objects (containing absolute paths if srcDir is absolute).
    Parameters:
      `files` - the original set of files.
      `srcDir` - all files are relative to this directory.
      `destDir` - target files live here. If null file names returned by the mapper are assumed to be absolute.
      `mapper` - knows how to construct a target file names from source file names.
    Returns:
      an array of files.

  - ### restrictAsFiles

    public java.io.File[] restrictAsFiles​(java.lang.String[] files, java.io.File srcDir, java.io.File destDir, FileNameMapper mapper, long granularity)

    Parameters:
      `files` - the original set of files.
      `srcDir` - all files are relative to this directory.
      `destDir` - target files live here. If null file names returned by the mapper are assumed to be absolute.
      `mapper` - knows how to construct a target file names from source file names.
      `granularity` - The number of milliseconds leeway to give before deciding a target is out of date.
    Returns:
      an array of files.
    Since:
      Ant 1.6.2

  - ### getResource

    public Resource getResource​(java.lang.String name)
    Returns resource information for a file at destination.
    Specified by:
      `getResource` in interface `ResourceFactory`
    Parameters:
      `name` - relative path of file at destination.
    Returns:
      data concerning a file whose relative path to destDir is name.
    Since:
      Ant 1.5.2
