Struct FileEdit 

pub struct FileEdit(/* private fields */);

A read/write file handle with path() attached and improved error messages. Contains methods and trait implements for both readable and writeable files.

Examples

use std::io::{Read, Seek, Write, SeekFrom};
use path_abs::FileEdit;

let example = "example.txt";

let expected = "foo\nbar";
let mut edit = FileEdit::create(example)?;

let mut s = String::new();
edit.write_all(expected.as_bytes())?;
edit.seek(SeekFrom::Start(0))?;
edit.read_to_string(&mut s)?;

assert_eq!(expected, s);

Implementations

impl FileEdit

pub fn open<P>(path: P, options: OpenOptions) -> Result<FileEdit, Error>

where P: AsRef<Path>,

Open the file with the given OpenOptions but always sets read and write to true.

pub fn create<P>(path: P) -> Result<FileEdit, Error>

where P: AsRef<Path>,

Open the file in editing mode, truncating it first if it exists and creating it otherwise.

pub fn append<P>(path: P) -> Result<FileEdit, Error>

where P: AsRef<Path>,

Open the file for appending, creating it if it doesn’t exist.

pub fn edit<P>(path: P) -> Result<FileEdit, Error>

where P: AsRef<Path>,

Open the file for editing (reading and writing) but do not create it if it doesn’t exist.

pub fn sync_all(&self) -> Result<(), Error>

Attempts to sync all OS-internal metadata to disk.

This function will attempt to ensure that all in-core data reaches the filesystem before returning.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::sync_all except it has error messages which include the action and the path.

pub fn sync_data(&self) -> Result<(), Error>

This function is similar to sync_all, except that it may not synchronize file metadata to the filesystem.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::sync_data except it has error messages which include the action and the path.

pub fn set_len(&mut self, size: u64) -> Result<(), Error>

Truncates or extends the underlying file, updating the size of this file to become size.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::set_len except:

• It has error messages which include the action and the path.
• It takes &mut self instead of &self.

pub fn set_permissions(&mut self, perm: Permissions) -> Result<(), Error>

Changes the permissions on the underlying file.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::set_permissions except:

• It has error messages which include the action and the path.
• It takes &mut self instead of &self.

pub fn read_string(&mut self) -> Result<String, Error>

Read what remains of the file to a String.

pub fn write_str(&mut self, s: &str) -> Result<(), Error>

Shortcut to self.write_all(s.as_bytes()) with slightly improved error message.

pub fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>

std::io::File::flush buth with the new error type.

Methods from Deref<Target = FileOpen>

pub fn path(&self) -> &PathFile

Get the path associated with the open file.

pub fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata, Error>

Queries metadata about the underlying file.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::metadata except it has error messages which include the action and the path.

pub fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<FileOpen, Error>

Creates a new independently owned handle to the underlying file.

This function is identical to std::fs::File::try_clone except it has error messages which include the action and the path and it returns a FileOpen object.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for FileEdit
