Struct which::CanonicalPath

pub struct CanonicalPath { /* fields omitted */ }

An owned, immutable wrapper around a PathBuf containing the canonical path of an executable.

The constructed PathBuf is the result of which or which_in followed by Path::canonicalize, but CanonicalPath has the advantage of being a type distinct from std::path::Path and std::path::PathBuf.

It can be beneficial to use CanonicalPath instead of std::path::Path when you want the type system to enforce the need for a path that exists, points to a binary that is executable, is absolute, has all components normalized, and has all symbolic links resolved

Since CanonicalPath implements Deref for std::path::Path, all methods on &std::path::Path are also available to &CanonicalPath values.

Implementations

impl CanonicalPath

pub fn new<T: AsRef<OsStr>>(binary_name: T) -> Result<CanonicalPath>

Returns the canonical path of an executable binary by name.

This calls which and Path::canonicalize and maps the result into a CanonicalPath.

pub fn new_in<T, U, V>(
    binary_name: T,
    paths: Option<U>,
    cwd: V
) -> Result<CanonicalPath> where
    T: AsRef<OsStr>,
    U: AsRef<OsStr>,
    V: AsRef<Path>, 

Returns the canonical path of an executable binary by name in the path list paths and using the current working directory cwd to resolve relative paths.

This calls which and Path::canonicalize and maps the result into a CanonicalPath.

pub fn as_path(&self) -> &Path

Returns a reference to a std::path::Path.

pub fn into_path_buf(self) -> PathBuf

Consumes the which::CanonicalPath, yielding its underlying std::path::PathBuf.
