Struct lockfile::Lockfile

pub struct Lockfile { /* fields omitted */ }

A lockfile that cleans up after itself.

Inspired by TempPath in tempfile crate.

See module-level documentation for examples.

Methods

impl Lockfile

pub fn create(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Lockfile, Error>

Create a lockfile at the given path.

This function will

1. create parent directories, if necessary,
2. create the lockfile.

• If the directories already exist, it will skip creating them.
• Any other error is returned.

Panics

Will panic if the path doesn't have a parent directory.

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

Get the path of the lockfile.

The impl of AsRef<Path> can also be used.

pub fn release(self) -> Result<(), Error>

Close and remove the file, releasing the lock.

Use this instead of the destructor when you want to see if any errors occured when removing the file.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRef<Path> for Lockfile

fn as_ref(&self) -> &Path

Performs the conversion.

impl Debug for Lockfile

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Lockfile

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl Read for Lockfile

fn read(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize>

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified buffer, returning how many bytes were read.

fn read_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut]) -> Result<usize, Error>

Like read, except that it reads into a slice of buffers.

unsafe fn initializer(&self) -> Initializer

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

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, appending them to buf.

fn read_exact(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Read the exact number of bytes required to fill buf.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Read.

fn bytes(self) -> Bytes<Self>

Transforms this Read instance to an [Iterator] over its bytes.

fn chain<R>(self, next: R) -> Chain<Self, R> where
    R: Read, 

Creates an adaptor which will chain this stream with another.

fn take(self, limit: u64) -> Take<Self>

Creates an adaptor which will read at most limit bytes from it.
