Utility methods to MetaData

Required Methods

source

fn accessed(&self) -> Result<SystemTime, Error>

Returns the last access time of this metadata.

The returned value corresponds to the atime field of stat on Unix platforms and the ftLastAccessTime field on Windows platforms.

Note that not all platforms will keep this field update in a file’s metadata, for example Windows has an option to disable updating this time when files are accessed and Linux similarly has noatime.

source

fn created(&self) -> Result<SystemTime, Error>

Returns the creation time listed in this metadata.

The returned value corresponds to the btime field of statx on Linux kernel starting from to 4.11, the birthtime field of stat on other Unix platforms, and the ftCreationTime field on Windows platforms.

source

fn is_file(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this metadata is for a regular file.

It will be false for symlink metadata obtained from symlink_metadata.

When the goal is simply to read from (or write to) the source, the most reliable way to test the source can be read (or written to) is to open it. Only using is_file can break workflows like diff <( prog_a ) on a Unix-like system for example.
