Struct cfile::CFile

pub struct CFile(_);

A reference to an open stream on the filesystem.

An instance of a CFile can be read and/or written depending on what modes it was opened with. CFile also implement Seek to alter the logical cursor that the file contains internally.

Methods

impl CFile

pub fn fdopen<S: AsRef<str>>(fd: RawFd, mode: S) -> Result<CFile>

impl CFile

Important traits for Unlocked

impl Write for Unlockedimpl Read for Unlocked

pub fn unlocked(self) -> Unlocked

Returns a unlocked CFile stream except that they do not use locking.

Methods from Deref<Target = CFileRef>

pub fn reopen(&self, filename: &str, mode: &str) -> Result<CFile>

opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by filename and associates the stream pointed to by stream with it.

The original stream (if it exists) is closed. The mode argument is used just as in the open() function.

Important traits for Bytes<'a>

impl<'a> Iterator for Bytes<'a> type Item = Result<u8>;

pub fn bytes(&self) -> Bytes

An iterator over the bytes of a *FILE stream.

Important traits for Lines<T>

impl<T> Iterator for Lines<T> where
    T: Iterator<Item = Result<u8>>,  type Item = Result<String>;

pub fn lines(&self) -> Lines<Bytes>

An iterator over the lines of a *FILE stream.

pub fn lock(&mut self) -> FileLock

acquires an exclusive lock on the specified object.

If another thread has already locked the object, will block until the lock is released.

Examples

use std::io::Write;
use cfile::tmpfile;

let mut f = tmpfile().unwrap();
let mut l = f.lock();

assert_eq!(l.write(b"test").unwrap(), 4);

pub fn try_lock(&mut self) -> Option<FileLock>

a non-blocking version of lock();

if the lock cannot be acquired immediately, try_lock() returns None instead of blocking.

Examples

use std::io::{Read, Write, BufRead, BufReader, Seek, SeekFrom};
use cfile::tmpfile;

let mut f = tmpfile().unwrap();

if let Some(mut c) = f.try_lock() {
    assert_eq!(c.write(b"test").unwrap(), 4);
}

assert_eq!(f.seek(SeekFrom::Start(0)).unwrap(), 0); // seek to the beginning of stream

let mut r = BufReader::new(f);
let mut s = String::new();
assert_eq!(r.read_line(&mut s).unwrap(), 4); // read back the text
assert_eq!(s, "test");
