Struct FileIdentity 

pub struct FileIdentity {
    pub dev: u64,
    pub ino: u64,
}

File identity for comparing if a file is the same as stdout

On Unix, this uses (device, inode) pair which uniquely identifies a file within a filesystem. On other platforms, this type exists for API uniformity but cannot be constructed — get_stdout_identity() returns None and from_metadata() is not available.

Fields

dev: u64

Device ID (major/minor number) for file identification

Combined with ino, uniquely identifies a file across the filesystem. This is part of the Unix stat structure and prevents false positives when comparing files across different devices.

ino: u64

Inode number for file identification

Combined with dev, uniquely identifies a file within a filesystem. This is the primary mechanism for detecting when stdout is redirected to a file in the scanned directory.

Implementations

impl FileIdentity

pub fn from_metadata(metadata: &Metadata) -> Self

Create a new file identity from metadata

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FileIdentity

fn clone(&self) -> FileIdentity

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileIdentity

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for FileIdentity

fn eq(&self, other: &FileIdentity) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
