Enum CloneError 

pub enum CloneError {
    Symlink(PathBuf),
    NotAFile(PathBuf),
    CrossVolume {
        src: PathBuf,
        dst: PathBuf,
    },
    Unsupported {
        path: PathBuf,
        source: Error,

    InvalidPath(PathBuf),
    Io {

        source: Error,
    },
}

Why a clone was not created. Each variant maps to a stable code for callers and the helper binary.

Variants

Symlink(PathBuf)

The source is a symbolic link. It is refused, never followed or cloned as a link.

NotAFile(PathBuf)

The source is not a regular file (directory, device, socket, …).

CrossVolume

Source and destination are on different volumes; clonefile needs one volume.

Fields

src: PathBuf

dst: PathBuf

Unsupported

The volume or filesystem cannot clone (not APFS, or the kernel reports ENOTSUP/ENOSYS).

Fields

path: PathBuf

source: Error

InvalidPath(PathBuf)

The source or destination path cannot be passed to the kernel (embedded NUL).

Io

Any other failure (missing source, destination exists, permissions, …).

Fields

path: PathBuf

source: Error

Implementations

impl CloneError

pub fn code(&self) -> &'static str

Stable machine code, shared with the rightkit-clonefile helper’s JSON output.

pub fn exit_code(&self) -> u8

Exit status used by the rightkit-clonefile helper for this failure.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for CloneError

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for CloneError

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for CloneError

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.
