Enum FileType 

pub enum FileType {
    Regular,
    Directory,
    Symlink,
}

An enum with a variant for each file type.

match file_type {
    FileType::Regular     => {},
    FileType::Directory   => {},
    FileType::Symlink     => {},
    FileType::BlockDevice => {}, // unix only
    FileType::CharDevice  => {}, // unix only
    FileType::Fifo        => {}, // unix only
    FileType::Socket      => {}, // unix only
}

Variants

Regular

A regular file.

Directory

A directory, folder of files.

Symlink

A symbolic link, points to another path.

Implementations

impl FileType

pub fn read_at(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self>

Reads a FileType from a path.

This function follows symlinks, so it can never return a FileType::Symlink.

Errors

• Path does not exist, or
• Current user lacks permissions to read fs::Metadata of path.

pub fn symlink_read_at(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self>

Reads a FileType from a path, considers symlinks.

This function does not follow symlinks, therefore, FileType::Symlink can be returned, if you don’t want that, see FileType::read_at.

Errors

• Path does not exist, or
• Current user lacks permissions to read fs::Metadata of path.

pub fn is_regular(&self) -> bool

Returns true if is a FileType::Regular.

pub fn is_directory(&self) -> bool

Returns true if is a FileType::Directory.

pub fn is_symlink(&self) -> bool

Returns true if is a FileType::Symlink.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FileType

fn clone(&self) -> FileType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileType

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for FileType

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<FileType> for FileType

fn from(ft: FileType) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Metadata> for FileType

fn from(metadata: Metadata) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl Hash for FileType

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for FileType

fn cmp(&self, other: &FileType) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for FileType

fn eq(&self, other: &FileType) -> 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 PartialOrd for FileType

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &FileType) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

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

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

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

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

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

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

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

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
