Utility methods for paths.

Required Methods

fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>

Get information on the file, directory, etc at this path.

Consult the fs::stat documentation for more info.

This call preserves identical runtime/error semantics with file::stat.

fn exists(&self) -> bool

Boolean value indicator whether the underlying file exists on the local filesystem. Returns false in exactly the cases where fs::stat fails.

fn is_file(&self) -> bool

Whether the underlying implementation (be it a file path, or something else) points at a "regular file" on the FS. Will return false for paths to non-existent locations or directories or other non-regular files (named pipes, etc). Follows links when making this determination.

fn is_dir(&self) -> bool

Whether the underlying implementation (be it a file path, or something else) is pointing at a directory in the underlying FS. Will return false for paths to non-existent locations or if the item is not a directory (eg files, named pipes, etc). Follows links when making this determination.
