Enum Type 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Type {
    Regular,
    Directory,
    SymbolicLink,
    Fifo,
    CharacterDevice,
    BlockDevice,
    Socket,
}

Enumeration of possible file types in a standard UNIX-like filesystem.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Regular

Storage unit of a filesystem.

Directory

Node containing other nodes.

SymbolicLink

Node pointing towards an other node in the filesystem.

Fifo

Named pipe.

CharacterDevice

An inode that refers to a device communicating by sending chars (bytes) of data.

BlockDevice

An inode that refers to a device communicating by sending blocks of data.

Socket

Communication flow between two processes.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Type

fn clone(&self) -> Type

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Type

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<Dir: DirectoryRead> From<&TypeWithFile<Dir>> for Type

fn from(value: &TypeWithFile<Dir>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Type> for FileType

Available on crate feature ext2 only.

fn from(value: Type) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Type> for TypePermissions

Available on crate feature ext2 only.

fn from(value: Type) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl<Dir: DirectoryRead> From<TypeWithFile<Dir>> for Type

fn from(value: TypeWithFile<Dir>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for Type

fn eq(&self, other: &Type) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl TryFrom<FileType> for Type

Available on crate feature ext2 only.

type Error = Ext2Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(value: FileType) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Performs the conversion.

impl Copy for Type

impl Eq for Type

impl StructuralPartialEq for Type
