Struct actix_web::fs::NamedFile

source ·
pub struct NamedFile<C = DefaultConfig> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A file with an associated name.

Implementations

Attempts to open a file in read-only mode.

Examples
use actix_web::fs::NamedFile;

let file = NamedFile::open("foo.txt");

Attempts to open a file in read-only mode using provided configiration.

Examples
use actix_web::fs::{DefaultConfig, NamedFile};

let file = NamedFile::open_with_config("foo.txt", DefaultConfig);

Returns reference to the underlying File object.

Retrieve the path of this file.

Examples
use actix_web::fs::NamedFile;

let file = NamedFile::open("test.txt")?;
assert_eq!(file.path().as_os_str(), "foo.txt");

Set CpuPool to use

Set response Status Code

Set the MIME Content-Type for serving this file. By default the Content-Type is inferred from the filename extension.

Set the Content-Disposition for serving this file. This allows changing the inline/attachment disposition as well as the filename sent to the peer. By default the disposition is inline for text, image, and video content types, and attachment otherwise, and the filename is taken from the path provided in the open method after converting it to UTF-8 using to_string_lossy.

Set content encoding for serving this file

Methods from Deref<Target = File>

Attempts to sync all OS-internal metadata to disk.

This function will attempt to ensure that all in-memory data reaches the filesystem before returning.

This can be used to handle errors that would otherwise only be caught when the File is closed. Dropping a file will ignore errors in synchronizing this in-memory data.

Examples
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut f = File::create("foo.txt")?;
    f.write_all(b"Hello, world!")?;

    f.sync_all()?;
    Ok(())
}

This function is similar to sync_all, except that it might not synchronize file metadata to the filesystem.

This is intended for use cases that must synchronize content, but don’t need the metadata on disk. The goal of this method is to reduce disk operations.

Note that some platforms may simply implement this in terms of sync_all.

Examples
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut f = File::create("foo.txt")?;
    f.write_all(b"Hello, world!")?;

    f.sync_data()?;
    Ok(())
}

Truncates or extends the underlying file, updating the size of this file to become size.

If the size is less than the current file’s size, then the file will be shrunk. If it is greater than the current file’s size, then the file will be extended to size and have all of the intermediate data filled in with 0s.

The file’s cursor isn’t changed. In particular, if the cursor was at the end and the file is shrunk using this operation, the cursor will now be past the end.

Errors

This function will return an error if the file is not opened for writing. Also, std::io::ErrorKind::InvalidInput will be returned if the desired length would cause an overflow due to the implementation specifics.

Examples
use std::fs::File;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut f = File::create("foo.txt")?;
    f.set_len(10)?;
    Ok(())
}

Note that this method alters the content of the underlying file, even though it takes &self rather than &mut self.

Queries metadata about the underlying file.

Examples
use std::fs::File;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut f = File::open("foo.txt")?;
    let metadata = f.metadata()?;
    Ok(())
}

Creates a new File instance that shares the same underlying file handle as the existing File instance. Reads, writes, and seeks will affect both File instances simultaneously.

Examples

Creates two handles for a file named foo.txt:

use std::fs::File;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
    let file_copy = file.try_clone()?;
    Ok(())
}

Assuming there’s a file named foo.txt with contents abcdef\n, create two handles, seek one of them, and read the remaining bytes from the other handle:

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::SeekFrom;
use std::io::prelude::*;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
    let mut file_copy = file.try_clone()?;

    file.seek(SeekFrom::Start(3))?;

    let mut contents = vec![];
    file_copy.read_to_end(&mut contents)?;
    assert_eq!(contents, b"def\n");
    Ok(())
}

Changes the permissions on the underlying file.

Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the fchmod function on Unix and the SetFileInformationByHandle function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

Errors

This function will return an error if the user lacks permission change attributes on the underlying file. It may also return an error in other os-specific unspecified cases.

Examples
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    use std::fs::File;

    let file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
    let mut perms = file.metadata()?.permissions();
    perms.set_readonly(true);
    file.set_permissions(perms)?;
    Ok(())
}

Note that this method alters the permissions of the underlying file, even though it takes &self rather than &mut self.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (file_set_times)

Changes the timestamps of the underlying file.

Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the futimens function on Unix (falling back to futimes on macOS before 10.13) and the SetFileTime function on Windows. Note that this may change in the future.

Errors

This function will return an error if the user lacks permission to change timestamps on the underlying file. It may also return an error in other os-specific unspecified cases.

This function may return an error if the operating system lacks support to change one or more of the timestamps set in the FileTimes structure.

Examples
#![feature(file_set_times)]

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    use std::fs::{self, File, FileTimes};

    let src = fs::metadata("src")?;
    let dest = File::options().write(true).open("dest")?;
    let times = FileTimes::new()
        .set_accessed(src.accessed()?)
        .set_modified(src.modified()?);
    dest.set_times(times)?;
    Ok(())
}
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (file_set_times)

Changes the modification time of the underlying file.

This is an alias for set_times(FileTimes::new().set_modified(time)).
