Struct ReadOnlyCache 

pub struct ReadOnlyCache { /* private fields */ }

A ReadOnlyCache wraps an arbitrary number of crate::plain::Cache and crate::sharded::Cache, and attempts to satisfy ReadOnlyCache::get and ReadOnlyCache::touch requests by hitting each constituent cache in order. This interface hides the difference between plain and sharded cache directories, and should be the first resort for read-only uses.

The default cache wraps an empty set of constituent caches and performs no consistency check.

ReadOnlyCache objects are stateless and cheap to clone; don’t put an Arc on them. Avoid creating multiple ReadOnlyCaches for the same stack of directories: there is no internal state to maintain, so multiple instances simply waste memory without any benefit.

Implementations

impl ReadOnlyCache

pub fn get<'a>(&self, key: impl Into<Key<'a>>) -> Result<Option<File>>

Attempts to open a read-only file for key. The ReadOnlyCache will query each constituent cache in order of registration, and return a read-only file for the first hit.

Fails with ErrorKind::InvalidInput if key.name is invalid (empty, or starts with a dot or a forward or back slash).

Returns None if no file for key can be found in any of the constituent caches, and bubbles up the first I/O error encountered, if any.

In the worst case, each call to get attempts to open two files for each cache directory in the ReadOnlyCache stack.

pub fn touch<'a>(&self, key: impl Into<Key<'a>>) -> Result<bool>

Marks a cache entry for key as accessed (read). The ReadOnlyCache will touch the same file that would be returned by get.

Fails with ErrorKind::InvalidInput if key.name is invalid (empty, or starts with a dot or a forward or back slash).

Returns whether a file for key could be found, and bubbles up the first I/O error encountered, if any.

In the worst case, each call to touch attempts to update the access time on two files for each cache directory in the ReadOnlyCache stack.
