Enum PartitionKind 

pub enum PartitionKind {
    Gpt {
        type_guid: [u8; 16],
        attributes: u64,
    },
    Mbr {
        type_byte: u8,
        active: bool,
    },
    Whole,
}

The on-disk type-tag for the partition. For GPT this is the type GUID + the 64-bit attributes field; for MBR it’s the one-byte type code + the active/boot flag. Whole is reserved for the (future) “no partition table” probe result.

Callers that only need a “did the firmware mark this as bootable?” answer should use Partition::is_bootable instead of inspecting bits directly.

Variants

Gpt

type_guid: 16-byte on-disk partition type GUID. attributes: 64-bit attributes field from entry offset +48. Bit 0 = required partition, bit 2 = legacy BIOS bootable; see crate::gpt::attr for the full set of named bits.

Fields

type_guid: [u8; 16]

attributes: u64

Mbr

type_byte: MBR partition type code. active: bit 0x80 of the entry’s status byte (offset +0). Marks the “active” / “bootable” partition that legacy BIOS firmware boots.

Fields

type_byte: u8

active: bool

Whole

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for PartitionKind

fn clone(&self) -> PartitionKind

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for PartitionKind

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for PartitionKind

fn eq(&self, other: &PartitionKind) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
