par_term/
atomic_save.rs

1//! Crash-safe atomic file writes — re-exported from `par-term-config`.
2//!
3//! The implementation lives in [`par_term_config::atomic_save`]. It had to move
4//! out of the root crate because `par-term-config`, `par-term-settings-ui` and
5//! `par-term-update` all write files that must be atomic and none of them can
6//! depend on the root crate; a Layer-1 home is the only one all four can reach.
7//! Duplicating a security-sensitive write path into a second crate was the
8//! alternative and was rejected.
9//!
10//! This module stays so that existing `crate::atomic_save::…` call sites keep
11//! working. See the upstream module for the durability and permission
12//! contracts, including when to prefer [`save_string_atomic_preserving_mode`]
13//! over the `0o600`-forcing variants.
