Utility for reading inode numbers (Linux, MacOS) and file IDs (Windows)
Documentation
//! Utility for reading inode numbers (Linux, macOS) and file ids (Windows) that uniquely identify a file on a single computer.
//!
//! Modern file systems assign a unique ID to each file. On Linux and macOS it is called an `inode number`,
//! on Windows it is called a `file id` or `file index`.
//! Together with the `device id` (Linux, macOS) or the `volume serial number` (Windows),
//! a file or directory can be uniquely identified on a single computer at a given time.
//!
//! Keep in mind though, that IDs may be re-used at some point.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```
//! let file = tempfile::NamedTempFile::new().unwrap();
//!
//! let file_id = file_id::get_file_id(file.path()).unwrap();
//! println!("{file_id:?}");
//! ```
//!
//! ## Example (Windows Only)
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let file = tempfile::NamedTempFile::new().unwrap();
//!
//! let file_id = file_id::get_low_res_file_id(file.path()).unwrap();
//! println!("{file_id:?}");
//!
//! let file_id = file_id::get_high_res_file_id(file.path()).unwrap();
//! println!("{file_id:?}");
//! ```
