%
% This module provides functions for working with external files. Some of these
% functions apply to an entire file, and have prefix \cs[no-index]{file_\ldots}, while
% others are used to work with files on a line by line basis and have prefix
% \cs[no-index]{ior_\ldots} (reading) or \cs[no-index]{iow_\ldots} (writing).
%
% It is important to remember that when reading external files \TeX{}
% attempts to locate them using both the operating system path and entries in the
% \TeX{} file database (most \TeX{} systems use such a database). Thus the
% \enquote{current path} for \TeX{} is somewhat broader than that for other
% programs.
%
% For functions which expect a \meta{file name} argument, this argument
% may contain both literal items and expandable content, which should on
% full expansion be the desired file name.  Active characters (as
% declared in \cs{l_char_active_seq}) are \emph{not} expanded,
% allowing the direct use of these in file names. Quote tokens (|"|) are
% not permitted in file names as they are reserved for internal use by some
% \TeX{} primitives.
%
% Spaces are trimmed at the beginning and end of the file name:
% this reflects the fact that some file systems do not allow or interact
% unpredictably with spaces in these positions. When no extension is given,
% this will trim spaces from the start of the name only.
%
% \section{Input--output stream management}
%
% As \TeX{} engines have a limited number of input and output streams, direct
% use of the streams by the programmer is not supported in \LaTeX3. Instead, an
% internal pool of streams is maintained, and these are allocated and
% deallocated as needed by other modules. As a result, the programmer should
% close streams when they are no longer needed, to release them for other
% processes.
%
% Note that I/O operations are global: streams should all be declared
% with global names and treated accordingly.

% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Reading from files}
%
% Reading from files and reading from the terminal are separate processes in
% \pkg{expl3}. The functions \cs{ior_get:NN} and \cs{ior_str_get:NN}, and their
% branching equivalents, are designed to work with \emph{files}.
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2012-06-24, updated = 2019-03-23]{\ior_get:NN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_get:NN} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var}
%     \cs{ior_get:NNTF} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Function that reads one or more lines (until an equal number of left
%   and right braces are found) from the file input \meta{stream} and stores
%   the result locally in the \meta{token list} variable.
%   The material read from the \meta{stream} is tokenized by \TeX{}
%   according to the category codes and \tn{endlinechar} in force when
%   the function is used.  Assuming normal settings, any lines which do
%   not end in a comment character~|%| have the line ending
%   converted to a space, so for example input
%   \begin{verbatim}
%      a b  c
%   \end{verbatim}
%   results in a token list \verb*|a b c |.  Any blank line is
%   converted to the token \cs{par}. Therefore, blank lines can be
%   skipped by using a test such as
%   \begin{verbatim}
%      \ior_get:NN \l_my_ior \l_tmpa_tl
%      \tl_set:Nn \l_tmpb_tl { \par }
%      \tl_if_eq:NNF \l_tmpa_tl \l_tmpb_tl
%      ...
%   \end{verbatim}
%   Also notice that if multiple lines are read to match braces
%   then the resulting token list can contain \cs{par} tokens.
%   In the non-branching version, where the \meta{stream} is not open
%   the \meta{tl var} is set to \cs{q_no_value}.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This protected macro is a wrapper around the \TeX{} primitive
%     \tn{read}.  Regardless of settings, \TeX{} replaces trailing space
%     and tab characters (character codes 32 and~9) in each line by an
%     end-of-line character (character code \tn{endlinechar}, omitted if
%     \tn{endlinechar} is negative or too large) before turning
%     characters into tokens according to current category codes.  With
%     default settings, spaces appearing at the beginning of lines are
%     also ignored.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2016-12-04, updated = 2019-03-23]
%   {\ior_str_get:NN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_str_get:NN} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var}
%     \cs{ior_str_get:NNTF} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Function that reads one line from the file input \meta{stream} and stores
%   the result locally in the \meta{token list} variable.
%   The material is read from the \meta{stream} as a series of tokens with
%   category code $12$ (other), with the exception of space
%   characters which are given category code $10$ (space).
%   Multiple whitespace characters are retained by this process.  It
%   always only reads one line and any blank lines in the input
%   result in the \meta{tl~var} being empty. Unlike
%   \cs{ior_get:NN}, line ends do not receive any special treatment. Thus
%   input
%   \begin{verbatim}
%      a b  c
%   \end{verbatim}
%   results in a token list |a b  c| with the letters |a|, |b|, and |c|
%   having category code~12.
%   In the non-branching version, where the\meta{stream} is not open
%   the \meta{tl var} is set to \cs{q_no_value}.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This protected macro is a wrapper around the \eTeX{} primitive
%     \tn{readline}.  Regardless of settings, \TeX{} removes trailing
%     space and tab characters (character codes 32 and~9).  However, the
%     end-line character normally added by this primitive is not
%     included in the result of \cs{ior_str_get:NN}.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% All mappings are done at the current group level, \emph{i.e.}~any
% local assignments made by the \meta{function} or \meta{code} discussed
% below remain in effect after the loop.

%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_map_inline:Nn} \meta{stream} \Arg{inline function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies the \meta{inline function} to each set of \meta{lines}
%   obtained by calling \cs{ior_get:NN} until reaching the end of the
%   file.  \TeX{} ignores any trailing new-line marker from the file it
%   reads.  The \meta{inline function} should consist of code which
%   receives the \meta{line} as |#1|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2012-02-11]{\ior_str_map_inline:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_str_map_inline:Nn} \meta{stream} \Arg{inline function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies the \meta{inline function} to every \meta{line}
%   in the \meta{stream}. The material is read from the \meta{stream}
%   as a series of tokens with category code $12$ (other), with the
%   exception of space characters which are given category code $10$
%   (space). The \meta{inline function} should consist of code which
%   receives the \meta{line} as |#1|.
%   Note that \TeX{} removes trailing space and tab characters
%   (character codes 32 and 9) from every line upon input.  \TeX{} also
%   ignores any trailing new-line marker from the file it reads.

%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-13]{\ior_map_variable:NNn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_map_variable:NNn} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   For each set of \meta{lines} obtained by calling \cs{ior_get:NN}
%   until reaching the end of the file, stores the \meta{lines} in the
%   \meta{tl~var} then applies the \meta{code}.  The \meta{code} will
%   usually make use of the \meta{variable}, but this is not enforced.
%   The assignments to the \meta{variable} are local.
%   Its value after the loop is the last set of \meta{lines}, or its
%   original value if the \meta{stream} is empty.  \TeX{} ignores
%   any trailing new-line marker from the file it reads.
%   This function is typically faster than \cs{ior_map_inline:Nn}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-13]{\ior_str_map_variable:NNn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_str_map_variable:NNn} \meta{stream} \meta{variable} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   For each \meta{line} in the \meta{stream}, stores the \meta{line} in

%   read from the \meta{stream} as a series of tokens with category code
%   $12$ (other), with the exception of space characters which are given
%   category code $10$ (space).  The \meta{code} will usually make use
%   of the \meta{variable}, but this is not enforced.  The assignments
%   to the \meta{variable} are local.  Its value after the loop is the

%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to terminate a \cs[no-index]{ior_map_\ldots} function before all

%   \begin{texnote}
%     When the mapping is broken, additional tokens may be inserted

%   This function writes \meta{tokens} to the specified

% \subsection{Wrapping lines in output}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2012-06-28, updated = 2017-12-04]
%   {\iow_wrap:nnnN, \iow_wrap:nenN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{iow_wrap:nnnN} \Arg{text} \Arg{run-on text} \Arg{set up} \meta{function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function wraps the \meta{text} to a fixed number of
%   characters per line. At the start of each line which is wrapped,
%   the \meta{run-on text} is inserted.  The line character count
%   targeted is the value of \cs{l_iow_line_count_int} minus the
%   number of characters in the \meta{run-on text} for all lines except
%   the first, for which the target number of characters is simply
%   \cs{l_iow_line_count_int} since there is no run-on text.  The
%   \meta{text} and \meta{run-on text} are exhaustively expanded by the
%   function, with the following substitutions:
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item |\\| or \cs{iow_newline:} may be used to force a new line,
%     \item \verb*|\ | may be used to represent a forced space
%       (for example after a control sequence),
%     \item |\#|, |\%|, |\{|, |\}|, |\~| may be used to represent
%       the corresponding character,
%     \item \cs{iow_wrap_allow_break:} may be used to allow a line-break
%       without inserting a space,
%     \item \cs{iow_indent:n} may be used to indent a part of the
%       \meta{text} (not the \meta{run-on text}).
%   \end{itemize}
%   Additional functions may be added to the wrapping by using the
%   \meta{set up}, which is executed before the wrapping takes place: this
%   may include overriding the substitutions listed.
%
%   Any expandable material in the \meta{text} which is not to be expanded
%   on wrapping should be converted to a string using \cs{token_to_str:N},
%   \cs{tl_to_str:n}, \cs{tl_to_str:N}, \emph{etc.}
%
%   The result of the wrapping operation is passed as a braced argument to the
%   \meta{function}, which is typically a wrapper around a write
%   operation. The output of \cs{iow_wrap:nnnN} (\emph{i.e.}~the argument
%   passed to the \meta{function}) consists of characters of category
%   \enquote{other} (category code~12), with the exception of spaces which
%   have category \enquote{space} (category code~10). This means that the
%   output does \emph{not} expand further when written to a file.
%
%   \begin{texnote}
%     Internally, \cs{iow_wrap:nnnN} carries out an \texttt{e}-type expansion
%     on the \meta{text} to expand it. This is done in such a way that
%     \cs{exp_not:N} or \cs{exp_not:n} \emph{could} be used to prevent
%     expansion of material. However, this is less conceptually clear than
%     conversion to a string, which is therefore the supported method for
%     handling expandable material in the \meta{text}.

%   a line break, and only affects lines which start within the scope

%
%   Note that \TeX{} does not provide information on the \meta{dir} and

%   time and left in \cs{l_@@_line_part_tl} by the \texttt{line_loop}
%   auxiliary.  When $k<8$ remain to be found, the \texttt{line_aux}
%   auxiliary calls the \texttt{line_end} auxiliary followed by (the
%   single digit) $k$, then $7-k$ empty brace groups, then the chunk's
%   remaining characters.  The \texttt{line_end} auxiliary leaves
%   $k$~characters from the chunk in the line part, then ends the
%   assignment.  Ignore the \cs{use_none:nnnnn} line for now.  If the
%   next character is a space the line can be broken there:
%   store what we found into the result and get the next line.
%   Otherwise some work is needed to find a break-point.  So far we have
%   ignored what happens if the chunk is shorter than the requested
%   number of characters: this is dealt with by the \texttt{end_chunk}
%   auxiliary, which gets treated like a character by the rest of the

%   auxiliary.  In that case, if the current line is empty, the complete

%   added to the line, making it over-long.  Otherwise, the word is

%   missing \cs{cs_end:} and yet another \cs{@@_name_expand_end:} that

%   The same marker is used in the \LaTeXe{} kernel, meaning that we get a
%   double-saving with for example \cs{IfFileExists}. As this is all about
%   performance, we use the low-level approach for the conditionals. For
%   a file already seen, the size is reported as $-1$ so it's distinct from
%   any non-cached ones.

% \begin{macro}{\GetIdInfo}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_id_info_auxi:w, \@@_id_info_auxii:w, \@@_id_info_auxiii:w}
%   As documented in \pkg{expl3.dtx} this function extracts file name
%   etc from an \textsc{svn} \texttt{Id} line.  This used to be how we
%   got version number and so on in all modules, so it had to be defined
%   in \pkg{l3bootstrap}.  Now it's more convenient to define it after
%   we have set up quite a lot of tools, and \pkg{l3file} seems the
%   least unreasonable place for it.
%
%   The idea here is to extract out the information needed from a standard
%   \textsc{svn} \texttt{Id} line, but to avoid a line that would get
%   changed when the file is checked in. Hence the fact that none of the
%   lines here include both a dollar sign and the \texttt{Id} keyword!

%   A first check for a completely empty \textsc{svn} field. If that is
%   not the case, there is a second case when a file created using
%   \texttt{svn cp} but has not been checked in. That leaves a special
%   marker \texttt{-1} version, which has no further data. Dealing
%   correctly with that is the reason for the space in the line to use
%   \cs{@@_id_info_auxii:w}.

% \begin{variable}{\c_sys_platform_str}
%   Detecting the platform on \LuaTeX{} is easy: for other engines, we use
%   the fact that the two common cases have special null files. It is possible
%   to probe further (see package \pkg{platform}), but that requires shell
%   escape and seems unlikely to be useful. This is set up here as it requires
%   file searching.
