AMPHP filesystem helpers — safe wrappers, async file locking, and a bridge between AMPHP File objects and PHP resource handles.

Features

• Safe / non-throwing variants of common filesystem operations
• ampFlock() with exponential-backoff retry, cancellation-aware
• findAmpFileHandle() — extracts the underlying resource from any AMPHP File driver
• All functions auto-loaded via Composer

Installation

composer require flyokai/amp-mate

Functions

All live in src/functions/filesystem.php:

Quick start

use Amp\File;
use function Flyokai\AmpMate\{ampOpenFile, ampFlock, findAmpFileHandle};

$file = ampOpenFile('/tmp/lock.txt', 'c+');

if ($file === false) {
    throw new RuntimeException('cannot open');
}

$handle = findAmpFileHandle($file);
ampFlock($handle, LOCK_EX);   // suspends with backoff until acquired

$file->write('hello');
flock($handle, LOCK_UN);
$file->close();

The safe pattern

Every operation that can fail accepts a $safe boolean:

• $safe = true (default) — return false / bool on failure
• $safe = false — throw the underlying exception

ampMkdir('/tmp/foo', 0755);          // returns false on collision
ampMkdir('/tmp/foo', 0755, false);   // throws on collision

Gotchas

• ampFlock() uses Amp\delay() between attempts — cooperative, but if flock itself blocks the OS it still blocks.
• Default $maxAttempts = 10 with exponential backoff can take up to ~10 seconds before throwing.
• findAmpFileHandle() returns false silently for unsupported driver types.
