}Available on crate features
fs or mount or net only.Expand description
A trait for passing path arguments.
This is similar to AsRef<Path>, but is implemented for more
kinds of strings and can convert into more kinds of strings.
§Examples
use rustix::ffi::CStr;
use rustix::io;
use rustix::path::Arg;
pub fn touch<P: Arg>(path: P) -> io::Result<()> {
let path = path.into_c_str()?;
_touch(&path)
}
fn _touch(path: &CStr) -> io::Result<()> {
// implementation goes here
Ok(())
}Users can then call touch("foo"), touch(cstr!("foo")),
touch(Path::new("foo")), or many other things.
Required Methods§
sourcefn to_string_lossy(&self) -> Cow<'_, str>
fn to_string_lossy(&self) -> Cow<'_, str>
Returns a potentially-lossy rendering of this string as a
Cow<'_, str>.
sourcefn as_cow_c_str(&self) -> Result<Cow<'_, CStr>>
fn as_cow_c_str(&self) -> Result<Cow<'_, CStr>>
Returns a view of this string as a maybe-owned CStr.
