Module tracing::stdlib::fs

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 ReadDir iterator.
• 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_type method.
• 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 to already exists.
• set_permissions
  Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory.
• soft_linkDeprecated
  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.
