texosquery – Cross-platform Java application to query OS information

This package provides a cross-platform Java application to query OS information designed for use in ’s shell escape mechanism.

The application can query the following:

  • locale and codeset
  • current working directory
  • user home directory
  • temporary directory
  • OS name, arch and version
  • Current date and time in PDF format (for formats that don’t provide \pdfcreationdate)
  • Date-time stamp of a file in PDF format (for formats that don't provide \pdffilemoddate)
  • Size of a file in bytes (for formats that don’t provide \pdffilesize)
  • Contents of a directory (captured as a list)
  • Directory contents filtered by regular expression (captured as a list)
  • URI of a file
  • Canonical path of a file

All paths use a forward slash as directory divider so results can be used, for example, in commands like \includegraphics.

There are files provided for easy access in documents:

  • texosquery.tex: generic code
  • texosquery.sty: package

This provides commands to run texosquery using ’s shell escape mechanism and capture the result in a control sequence. The category code of most of ’s default special characters (and some other potentially problematic characters) is temporarily changed to 12 while reading the result.
