Set of functions to manage files and symlinks
Macros
- Used to check if the
modehas itspermbit set.
Structs
- Information to uniquely identify a file
Enums
- Controls how symbolic links should be handled when canonicalizing a path.
- Controls when symbolic links are resolved
Functions
- Checks if either two paths are hard links to the same file or if the source path is a symbolic link which when fully resolved points to target path
- Checks if two paths are hard links to the same file.
- Return the canonical, absolute form of a path.
- For some programs like install or mkdir, dir/. can be provided Special case to match GNU’s behavior: install -d foo/. should work and just create foo/ std::fs::create_dir(“foo/.”); fails in pure Rust
- Display the permissions of a file On non unix like system, just show ‘–––––’
- Display the permissions of a file on a unix like system
- Checks if
p1andp2are the same file information. If error happens when trying to get files’ metadata, returns false - Checks if there is a symlink loop in the given path.
- Converts absolute
pathto be relative to absolutetopath. - Normalize a path by removing relative information For example, convert ‘bar/../foo/bar.txt’ => ‘foo/bar.txt’ copied from
