pub fn write_to_file(file_path: &str, content: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>
Expand description
Writes the provided content to a file at the specified file_path
.
If the file does not exist, it will be created. If the file exists, the content will be appended to it.
§Parameters
file_path
: The path to the file where the content will be written.content
: A byte slice (&[u8]
) containing the content to be written to the file.
§Returns
Result<(), Error>
:Ok(())
: If the content was successfully written to the file.Err(Error)
: If there was an error during file creation or writing.
§Errors
- If the file cannot be created or opened for writing, an error will be returned. This can happen if:
- There is a problem with the file path (e.g., invalid or inaccessible path).
- There are I/O issues when writing to the file.
§Notes
- The function first ensures that the parent directory of the file exists. If it doesn’t, it attempts to create the entire directory structure using
create_dir_all
. - The file is opened using
OpenOptions
with the following options:write(true)
: Open the file for writing.append(true)
: If the file exists, append the content to the end of the file.create(true)
: If the file doesn’t exist, create it.
