Struct CipherFile

pub struct CipherFile { /* private fields */ }

A file handle that operates on encrypted content

Get an instance of this by calling StoreFileRef::cipher_io().

Usage

This handle does not implement much logic but is intended to be used via its AsRef<File> and AsMut<File> implementations.

For example, if you already have a StoreFileRef, you can use it to interact with the encrypted file content like so:

let mut cipher_file: CipherFile = store_file_ref.cipher_io().unwrap();
let mut buffer = Vec::new();

// read encrypted content
cipher_file.as_mut().read_to_end(&mut buffer).unwrap();

// write encrypted content
cipher_file.as_mut().write_all(&buffer).unwrap();

Trait Implementations

impl AsMut<File> for CipherFile

fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut File

Converts this type into a mutable reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl AsRef<File> for CipherFile

fn as_ref(&self) -> &File

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl Debug for CipherFile

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
