Filesystem manipulation operations.
This module contains basic methods to manipulate the contents of the local
filesystem. All methods in this module represent cross-platform filesystem
operations. Extra platform-specific functionality can be found in the
extension traits of std::os::$platform.
Structs§
- DirBuilder
- A builder used to create directories in various manners.
- DirEntry
- Entries returned by the ReadDiriterator.
- File
- An object providing access to an open file on the filesystem.
- FileTimes 
- Representation of the various timestamps on a file.
- FileType 
- A structure representing a type of file with accessors for each file type.
It is returned by Metadata::file_typemethod.
- Metadata
- Metadata information about a file.
- OpenOptions 
- Options and flags which can be used to configure how a file is opened.
- Permissions
- Representation of the various permissions on a file.
- ReadDir
- Iterator over the entries in a directory.
Functions§
- canonicalize
- Returns the canonical, absolute form of a path with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic links resolved.
- copy
- Copies the contents of one file to another. This function will also copy the permission bits of the original file to the destination file.
- create_dir 
- Creates a new, empty directory at the provided path
- create_dir_ all 
- Recursively create a directory and all of its parent components if they are missing.
- exists
- Returns Ok(true)if the path points at an existing entity.
- hard_link 
- Creates a new hard link on the filesystem.
- metadata
- Given a path, queries the file system to get information about a file, directory, etc.
- read
- Reads the entire contents of a file into a bytes vector.
- read_dir 
- Returns an iterator over the entries within a directory.
- read_link 
- Reads a symbolic link, returning the file that the link points to.
- read_to_ string 
- Reads the entire contents of a file into a string.
- remove_dir 
- Removes an empty directory.
- remove_dir_ all 
- Removes a directory at this path, after removing all its contents. Use carefully!
- remove_file 
- Removes a file from the filesystem.
- rename
- Renames a file or directory to a new name, replacing the original file if
toalready exists.
- set_permissions 
- Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory.
- soft_link Deprecated 
- Creates a new symbolic link on the filesystem.
- symlink_metadata 
- Queries the metadata about a file without following symlinks.
- write
- Writes a slice as the entire contents of a file.
