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.

Modules

file	Types for working with File.
os	OS-specific functionality.

Structs

File	A reference to an open file on the filesystem.
OpenOptions	Options and flags which can be used to configure how a file is opened.
ReadFile	A future used to open a file and read its entire contents into a buffer.
WriteFile	A future used to open a file for writing and write the entire contents of some data to it.

Functions

create_dir	Creates a new, empty directory at the provided path
create_dir_all	Recursively create a directory and all of its parent components if they are missing.
hard_link	Creates a new hard link on the filesystem.
metadata	Queries the file system metadata for a path.
read	Creates a future which will open a file for reading and read the entire contents into a buffer and return said buffer.
read_dir	Returns a stream over the entries within a directory.
read_link	Reads a symbolic link, returning the file that the link points to.
remove_dir	Removes an existing, empty directory.
remove_file	Removes a file from the filesystem.
rename	Rename a file or directory to a new name, replacing the original file if to already exists.
set_permissions	Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory.
symlink_metadata	Queries the file system metadata for a path.
write	Creates a future that will open a file for writing and write the entire contents of contents to it.
