Module tokio::fs

Asynchronous filesystem manipulation operations.

This module contains basic methods and types for manipulating the contents of the local filesystem from within the context of the Tokio runtime.

Unlike most other Tokio APIs, the filesystem APIs must be used from the context of the Tokio runtime as they require Tokio specific features to function.
