Module std::fsUnstable

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

DirEntry	Entries returned by the ReadDir iterator.
File	A reference to an open file on the filesystem.
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.
WalkDir	An iterator that recursively walks over the contents of a directory.

Traits

PathExt

Utility methods for paths.

Functions

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	Create 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.
hard_link	Creates a new hard link on the filesystem.
metadata	Given a path, query the file system to get information about a file, directory, etc.
read_dir	Returns an iterator over the entries within a directory.
read_link	Reads a soft link, returning the file that the link points to.
remove_dir	Remove an existing, empty directory
remove_dir_all	Removes a directory at this path, after removing all its contents. Use carefully!
remove_file	Remove a file from the underlying filesystem.
rename	Rename a file or directory to a new name.
set_file_times	Changes the timestamps for a file's last modification and access time.
set_permissions	Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory.
soft_link	Creates a new soft link on the filesystem.
walk_dir	Returns an iterator that will recursively walk the directory structure rooted at path.
