Structs

Defer

Defer allows to run a piece of code when a specific scope is finished. It is somewhat similar to Go’s defer statement, but Go’s defer runs at the function end, this Defer runs at the scope exit.

DeferDirRemoval

DeferDirRemoval runs recursive directory removal when the object goes out of the scope. Errors during removal are ignored.

Functions

copy

Copy data from one buffer to another similar to what Go copy function does.

copy_stdio_error

It is not possible to copy std::io::Error directly because it doesn’t implement Copy trait. This function creates a new std::io::Error with the same error kind and a message copied from the original error.

copy_within

Copy data from one place of the buffer to another similar to what Go copy function can do.

string

string converts a byte slice into a string. This is somewhat similar to Go string(b), but not exactly. In Go any sequence of bytes can be converted into a string, but in Rust a string can contain only valid utf-8. This function panics if the byte slice cannot be converted into a valid Rust string.
