Enum SearchPath 

pub enum SearchPath {
    Platform,
    Home(&'static str),
    Cwd,
    Path(PathBuf),
    Ancestors(Boundary),
}

Where to search for config files.

Each variant represents a source of candidate directories. The builder accepts a Vec<SearchPath> in priority-ascending order: last = highest priority.

Most variants resolve to a single directory. Ancestors expands into multiple directories by walking up from the current working directory. See the module documentation for details.

Variants

Platform

Platform config directory (XDG on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support on macOS).

Home(&'static str)

A subdirectory under the user’s home directory, e.g. Home(".myapp").

Cwd

Current working directory.

Path(PathBuf)

An explicit absolute path.

Ancestors(Boundary)

Walk up from the current working directory, checking each ancestor.

Expands inline into multiple directories during resolution, ordered from shallowest (filesystem root) to deepest (CWD). This means CWD has the highest priority — a config found closer to the working directory wins.

The Boundary controls where the walk stops.

Note

This variant is not valid as a persist_scope path because it resolves to multiple directories. Using it there produces an error.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SearchPath

fn clone(&self) -> SearchPath

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SearchPath

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for SearchPath

fn eq(&self, other: &SearchPath) -> 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.
