Function validate_file_path

pub fn validate_file_path(
    path: &str,
    expected_extension: Option<&str>,
) -> Result<()>

Validates file paths for logging and configuration

Security Considerations

• Prevents path traversal attacks
• Blocks access to sensitive system directories
• Validates file extensions for expected types
• Checks path length to prevent buffer overflow

Examples

use netwatch_rs::validation::validate_file_path;

assert!(validate_file_path("/tmp/netwatch.log", Some("log")).is_ok());
assert!(validate_file_path("../../../etc/passwd", None).is_err());
