Function get_directory_size 

Source 
pub async fn get_directory_size(path: &Path) -> Result<u64>
Expand description

Asynchronously calculates the total size of a directory and all its contents.

This is the async version of dir_size that runs the calculation on a separate thread to avoid blocking the async runtime. Use this when calculating directory sizes as part of async operations.

§Arguments

  • path - The directory to calculate size for

§Returns

The total size in bytes, or an error if the operation fails

§Examples

use agpm_cli::utils::fs::get_directory_size;
use std::path::Path;

let cache_size = get_directory_size(Path::new("~/.agpm/cache")).await?;
println!("Cache size: {} bytes", cache_size);

§Performance

This function uses tokio::task::spawn_blocking to run the directory traversal on a thread pool, preventing it from blocking other async tasks. This is particularly useful when:

  • Calculating sizes for multiple directories concurrently
  • Integrating with async workflows
  • Avoiding blocking in async web servers or CLI applications
