Implementations

impl FileKind<bool>

pub fn new(meta: &Metadata, filepath: &Path) -> Self

Returns a new FileKind depending on metadata. Only linux files have some of those metadata since we rely on std::fs::MetadataExt.

pub fn dir_symbol(&self) -> char

Returns the expected first symbol from ln -l line. d for directory, s for socket, . for file, c for char device, b for block, l for links.

pub fn long_description(&self) -> &'static str

pub fn size_description(&self) -> &'static str

pub fn is_normal_file(&self) -> bool

Trait Implementations

impl<Valid: Clone> Clone for FileKind<Valid>

fn clone(&self) -> FileKind<Valid>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<Valid: Debug> Debug for FileKind<Valid>

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Icon for FileKind<bool>

fn icon(&self) -> &'static str

Icon per file kind. Shouldn’t be called for normal files, use extension.icon() directly.

impl<Valid: Copy> Copy for FileKind<Valid>
