AIO

Résumé

Creates an ArcIO (AIO) object to handle local and cloud files, and data stores in a unified way that can be used in Python.

Using this object, you can perform tasks such as copying files from one location to another and renaming or deleting a folder, as well as filing related operations including read and write. The AIO object can be used for cloud stores by specifying the path to an .acs file as the input. For a local data store, create an AIO object by specifying a local folder path, which will then be used as the current working directory, or by not specifying any parameter values.

Discussion

The AIO object supports file operations agnostic of the file system. The object currently supports Windows, Linux and major cloud storage implementations.

Apart from a local file system and UNC paths, the AIO object supports the following virtual cloud URIs for class initialization:

ACS Connection files (.acs)—Stores connection information in binary persisted encrypted format. See the Create Cloud Storage Connection File tool for more information.
/cloudStores json—Stores connection information in JSON format for ArcGIS Enterprise.
/vsi paths—GDAL is the preferred URI for file systems in agnostic file operations. See GDAL Virtual File Systems for more information.
http[s] paths—The cloud provider URL for a resource, which may contain connection information such as Microsoft Azure SAS.
A cloud provider-specific URI schema prefix such as s3:// or abfs://.

Remarque :

Connection information can also be used through IAM/RBAC, GDAL environment options, and provider-specific CLI configuration files in the .aws, .azure, or bin/gdalrc folders.

All cloud-specific methods can be accessed using the cloud property.

When working with cloud operations, class methods support relative paths to the current working directory (aio.getcwd). If absolute paths are used, only vsi paths are supported. These types of operations return vsi paths by default. The type of output path can be overridden by providing the CloudPathType enum.

These methods follow the same conventions and behavior as Python native file system methods.
