function Export-PSFClixml { <# .SYNOPSIS Writes objects to the filesystem. .DESCRIPTION Writes objects to the filesystem. In opposite to the default Export-Clixml cmdlet, this function offers data compression as the default option. Exporting to regular clixml is still supported though. .PARAMETER Path The path to write to. .PARAMETER Depth Specifies how many levels of contained objects are included in the XML representation. The default value is 2. .PARAMETER InputObject The object(s) to serialize. .PARAMETER Style Whether to export as byte (better compression) or as string (often easier to transmit using other utilities/apis). .PARAMETER NoCompression By default, exported data is compressed, saving a lot of storage at the cost of some CPU cycles. This switch disables this compression, making string-style exports compatible with Import-Clixml. .PARAMETER Encoding The encoding to use when using string-style export. By default, it exports as UTF8 encoding. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ChildItem | Export-PSFClixml -Path 'C:\temp\data.byte' Exports a list of all items in the current path as compressed binary file to C:\temp\data.byte .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ChildItem | Export-PSFClixml -Path C:\temp\data.xml -Style 'String' -NoCompression Exports a list of all items in the current path as a default clixml readable by Import-Clixml #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [string] $Path, [int] $Depth, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true)] $InputObject, [PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlDataStyle] $Style = 'Byte', [switch] $NoCompression, [System.Text.Encoding] $Encoding = (Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName 'PSFramework.Text.Encoding.DefaultWrite') ) begin { Write-PSFMessage -Level InternalComment -Message "Bound parameters: $($PSBoundParameters.Keys -join ", ")" -Tag 'debug', 'start', 'param' try { $resolvedPath = Resolve-PSFPath -Path $Path -Provider FileSystem -SingleItem -NewChild } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Could not resolve outputpath: $Path" -EnableException $true -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -ErrorRecord $_ } $data = @() } process { $data += $InputObject } end { try { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose -Message "Writing data to '$resolvedPath'" if ($Style -like 'Byte') { if ($NoCompression) { if ($Depth) { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByte($data, $Depth))) } else { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByte($data))) } } else { if ($Depth) { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByteCompressed($data, $Depth))) } else { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToByteCompressed($data))) } } } else { if ($NoCompression) { if ($Depth) { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToString($data, $Depth)), $Encoding) } else { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToString($data)), $Encoding) } } else { if ($Depth) { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToStringCompressed($data, $Depth)), $Encoding) } else { [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($resolvedPath, ([PSFramework.Serialization.ClixmlSerializer]::ToStringCompressed($data)), $Encoding) } } } } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Failed to export object" -ErrorRecord $_ -EnableException $true -Target $resolvedPath -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet } } } |
