Crate hf

The hf crate is a cross-platform library for manipulating hidden files or hidden directories.

Examples

On Unix

use std::fs::File;

let temp_dir = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();
let temp_dir = temp_dir.path();
let file_path = temp_dir.join("file");
let hidden_file_path = temp_dir.join(".file");

File::create(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(file_path.exists());
assert!(!hidden_file_path.exists());

hf::hide(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(!file_path.exists());
assert!(hidden_file_path.exists());

hf::show(&hidden_file_path).unwrap();
assert!(file_path.exists());
assert!(!hidden_file_path.exists());

On Windows

use std::fs::File;

let temp_dir = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();
let file_path = temp_dir.path().join("file");

File::create(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(!hf::is_hidden(&file_path).unwrap());

hf::hide(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(hf::is_hidden(&file_path).unwrap());

hf::show(&file_path).unwrap();
assert!(!hf::is_hidden(file_path).unwrap());

Functions

• hide
  Hides a file or a directory.
