Crate path_abs [−] [src]
Extensions to stdlib Path types, plus the PathAbs type.
PathAbs adds a much needed type to the rust ecosystem:
a path which is guaranteed to exist (at least on creation), is serializable, and has
extension methods like create[file/dir/dir_all], read_* and write_*.
In addition, PathAbs is serializable through serde (even on windows!) by using the crate
stfu8 to encode/decode any ill-formed UTF-16.
See that crate for more details on how the resulting encoding can be edited (by hand)
even in the case of what would be ill-formed UTF-16.
