Function save_data 

Source
pub fn save_data<P: AsRef<Path>, R: Read>(file_path: P, src: R) -> Result<()>
Expand description

The data read from src is saved to file_path.

The file is updated safely. This means that even if the operation is interrupted, file_path is guaranteed to contain either the complete old data or the complete new data. However, it is assumed that the data is permanently written to storage when File::fsync_all() completes successfully.

If file_path exists, the data is first written to a temporary file, then the file is replaced using rename. Additionally, a backup file of the original file is created. The path of the backup file is file_path appended with .orig.
