Struct cap_std::fs::Dir

pub struct Dir { /* fields omitted */ }

A reference to an open directory on a filesystem.

This does not directly correspond to anything in std, however its methods correspond to the functions in std::fs and the constructor methods for std::fs::File.

Unlike std::fs, this API’s canonicalize returns a relative path since absolute paths don’t interoperate well with the capability model.

Implementations

impl Dir

pub fn from_std_file(std_file: File, _: AmbientAuthority) -> Self

Constructs a new instance of Self from the given std::fs::File.

To prevent race conditions on Windows, the file must be opened without FILE_SHARE_DELETE.

Ambient Authority

std::fs::File is not sandboxed and may access any path that the host process has access to.

pub fn into_std_file(self) -> File

Consumes self and returns a std::fs::File.

pub fn open<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<File>

Attempts to open a file in read-only mode.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::open, but only accesses paths relative to self.

pub fn open_with<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    path: P,
    options: &OpenOptions
) -> Result<File>

Opens a file at path with the options specified by self.

This corresponds to std::fs::OpenOptions::open.

Instead of being a method on OpenOptions, this is a method on Dir, and it only accesses paths relative to self.

Attempts to open a directory.

pub fn create_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<()>

Creates a new, empty directory at the provided path.

This corresponds to std::fs::create_dir, but only accesses paths relative to self.

    &self,
    from: P,
    to_dir: &Self,
    to: Q
) -> Result<u64>

Copies the contents of one file to another. This function will also copy the permission bits of the original file to the destination file.

This corresponds to std::fs::copy, but only accesses paths relative to self.

pub fn hard_link<P: AsRef<Path>, Q: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    src: P,
    dst_dir: &Self,
    dst: Q

This corresponds to std::fs::remove_dir_all, but only accesses paths relative to self.

pub fn remove_open_dir(self) -> Result<()>

Remove the directory referenced by self and consume self.

Note that even though this implementation works in terms of handles as much as possible, removal is not guaranteed to be atomic with respect to a concurrent rename of the directory.

pub fn remove_open_dir_all(self) -> Result<()>

Removes the directory referenced by self, after removing all its contents, and consume self. Use carefully!

Note that even though this implementation works in terms of handles as much as possible, removal is not guaranteed to be atomic with respect to a concurrent rename of the directory.

pub fn remove_file<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<()>

Removes a file from a filesystem.

This corresponds to std::fs::remove_file, but only accesses paths relative to self.

    &self,
    from: P,
    to_dir: &Self,
    to: Q
) -> Result<()>

This corresponds to std::fs::rename, but only accesses paths relative to self.

pub fn set_permissions<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    path: P,
    perm: Permissions
) -> Result<()>

This corresponds to std::fs::set_permissions, but only accesses paths relative to self. Also, on some platforms, this function may fail if the file or directory cannot be opened for reading or writing first.

pub fn connect_unix_datagram<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    _unix_datagram: &UnixDatagram,

pub fn is_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> bool

Checks if path is a directory.

This is similar to std::path::Path::is_dir in that it checks if path relative to Dir is a directory. This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file. In case of broken symbolic links, this will return false.

pub fn open_ambient_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    path: P,
    ambient_authority: AmbientAuthority
) -> Result<Self>
