Struct cap_std::path::PathBuf 1.0.0[−][src]
pub struct PathBuf { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description
An owned, mutable path (akin to String
).
This type provides methods like push
and set_extension
that mutate
the path in place. It also implements Deref
to Path
, meaning that
all methods on Path
slices are available on PathBuf
values as well.
More details about the overall approach can be found in the module documentation.
Examples
You can use push
to build up a PathBuf
from
components:
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::new(); path.push(r"C:\"); path.push("windows"); path.push("system32"); path.set_extension("dll");
However, push
is best used for dynamic situations. This is a better way
to do this when you know all of the components ahead of time:
use std::path::PathBuf; let path: PathBuf = [r"C:\", "windows", "system32.dll"].iter().collect();
We can still do better than this! Since these are all strings, we can use
From::from
:
use std::path::PathBuf; let path = PathBuf::from(r"C:\windows\system32.dll");
Which method works best depends on what kind of situation you’re in.
Implementations
Creates a new PathBuf
with a given capacity used to create the
internal OsString
. See with_capacity
defined on OsString
.
Examples
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::with_capacity(10); let capacity = path.capacity(); // This push is done without reallocating path.push(r"C:\"); assert_eq!(capacity, path.capacity());
Extends self
with path
.
If path
is absolute, it replaces the current path.
On Windows:
- if
path
has a root but no prefix (e.g.,\windows
), it replaces everything except for the prefix (if any) ofself
. - if
path
has a prefix but no root, it replacesself
.
Examples
Pushing a relative path extends the existing path:
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::from("/tmp"); path.push("file.bk"); assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/tmp/file.bk"));
Pushing an absolute path replaces the existing path:
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::from("/tmp"); path.push("/etc"); assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/etc"));
Truncates self
to self.parent
.
Returns false
and does nothing if self.parent
is None
.
Otherwise, returns true
.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; let mut p = PathBuf::from("/spirited/away.rs"); p.pop(); assert_eq!(Path::new("/spirited"), p); p.pop(); assert_eq!(Path::new("/"), p);
Updates self.file_name
to file_name
.
If self.file_name
was None
, this is equivalent to pushing
file_name
.
Otherwise it is equivalent to calling pop
and then pushing
file_name
. The new path will be a sibling of the original path.
(That is, it will have the same parent.)
Examples
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut buf = PathBuf::from("/"); assert!(buf.file_name() == None); buf.set_file_name("bar"); assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/bar")); assert!(buf.file_name().is_some()); buf.set_file_name("baz.txt"); assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/baz.txt"));
Updates self.extension
to extension
.
Returns false
and does nothing if self.file_name
is None
,
returns true
and updates the extension otherwise.
If self.extension
is None
, the extension is added; otherwise
it is replaced.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; let mut p = PathBuf::from("/feel/the"); p.set_extension("force"); assert_eq!(Path::new("/feel/the.force"), p.as_path()); p.set_extension("dark_side"); assert_eq!(Path::new("/feel/the.dark_side"), p.as_path());
Invokes reserve_exact
on the underlying instance of OsString
.
Invokes shrink_to_fit
on the underlying instance of OsString
.
Methods from Deref<Target = Path>
Yields a &str
slice if the Path
is valid unicode.
This conversion may entail doing a check for UTF-8 validity. Note that validation is performed because non-UTF-8 strings are perfectly valid for some OS.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("foo.txt"); assert_eq!(path.to_str(), Some("foo.txt"));
Converts a Path
to a Cow<str>
.
Any non-Unicode sequences are replaced with
U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
.
Examples
Calling to_string_lossy
on a Path
with valid unicode:
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("foo.txt"); assert_eq!(path.to_string_lossy(), "foo.txt");
Had path
contained invalid unicode, the to_string_lossy
call might
have returned "fo�.txt"
.
Returns true
if the Path
is absolute, i.e., if it is independent of
the current directory.
-
On Unix, a path is absolute if it starts with the root, so
is_absolute
andhas_root
are equivalent. -
On Windows, a path is absolute if it has a prefix and starts with the root:
c:\windows
is absolute, whilec:temp
and\temp
are not.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert!(!Path::new("foo.txt").is_absolute());
Returns true
if the Path
is relative, i.e., not absolute.
See is_absolute
’s documentation for more details.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert!(Path::new("foo.txt").is_relative());
Returns true
if the Path
has a root.
-
On Unix, a path has a root if it begins with
/
. -
On Windows, a path has a root if it:
- has no prefix and begins with a separator, e.g.,
\windows
- has a prefix followed by a separator, e.g.,
c:\windows
but notc:windows
- has any non-disk prefix, e.g.,
\\server\share
- has no prefix and begins with a separator, e.g.,
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert!(Path::new("/etc/passwd").has_root());
Returns the Path
without its final component, if there is one.
Returns None
if the path terminates in a root or prefix.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/foo/bar"); let parent = path.parent().unwrap(); assert_eq!(parent, Path::new("/foo")); let grand_parent = parent.parent().unwrap(); assert_eq!(grand_parent, Path::new("/")); assert_eq!(grand_parent.parent(), None);
Produces an iterator over Path
and its ancestors.
The iterator will yield the Path
that is returned if the parent
method is used zero
or more times. That means, the iterator will yield &self
, &self.parent().unwrap()
,
&self.parent().unwrap().parent().unwrap()
and so on. If the parent
method returns
None
, the iterator will do likewise. The iterator will always yield at least one value,
namely &self
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let mut ancestors = Path::new("/foo/bar").ancestors(); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new("/foo/bar"))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new("/foo"))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new("/"))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), None); let mut ancestors = Path::new("../foo/bar").ancestors(); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new("../foo/bar"))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new("../foo"))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new(".."))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), Some(Path::new(""))); assert_eq!(ancestors.next(), None);
Returns the final component of the Path
, if there is one.
If the path is a normal file, this is the file name. If it’s the path of a directory, this is the directory name.
Returns None
if the path terminates in ..
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; use std::ffi::OsStr; assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("bin")), Path::new("/usr/bin/").file_name()); assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("tmp/foo.txt").file_name()); assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("foo.txt/.").file_name()); assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("foo.txt/.//").file_name()); assert_eq!(None, Path::new("foo.txt/..").file_name()); assert_eq!(None, Path::new("/").file_name());

P: AsRef<Path>,
pub fn strip_prefix<P>(&self, base: P) -> Result<&Path, StripPrefixError> where
P: AsRef<Path>,
Returns a path that, when joined onto base
, yields self
.
Errors
If base
is not a prefix of self
(i.e., starts_with
returns false
), returns Err
.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; let path = Path::new("/test/haha/foo.txt"); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/"), Ok(Path::new("test/haha/foo.txt"))); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/test"), Ok(Path::new("haha/foo.txt"))); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/test/"), Ok(Path::new("haha/foo.txt"))); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/test/haha/foo.txt"), Ok(Path::new(""))); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/test/haha/foo.txt/"), Ok(Path::new(""))); assert!(path.strip_prefix("test").is_err()); assert!(path.strip_prefix("/haha").is_err()); let prefix = PathBuf::from("/test/"); assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix(prefix), Ok(Path::new("haha/foo.txt")));
Determines whether base
is a prefix of self
.
Only considers whole path components to match.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/etc/passwd"); assert!(path.starts_with("/etc")); assert!(path.starts_with("/etc/")); assert!(path.starts_with("/etc/passwd")); assert!(path.starts_with("/etc/passwd/")); // extra slash is okay assert!(path.starts_with("/etc/passwd///")); // multiple extra slashes are okay assert!(!path.starts_with("/e")); assert!(!path.starts_with("/etc/passwd.txt")); assert!(!Path::new("/etc/foo.rs").starts_with("/etc/foo"));
Determines whether child
is a suffix of self
.
Only considers whole path components to match.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/etc/resolv.conf"); assert!(path.ends_with("resolv.conf")); assert!(path.ends_with("etc/resolv.conf")); assert!(path.ends_with("/etc/resolv.conf")); assert!(!path.ends_with("/resolv.conf")); assert!(!path.ends_with("conf")); // use .extension() instead
Extracts the stem (non-extension) portion of self.file_name
.
The stem is:
None
, if there is no file name;- The entire file name if there is no embedded
.
; - The entire file name if the file name begins with
.
and has no other.
s within; - Otherwise, the portion of the file name before the final
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert_eq!("foo", Path::new("foo.rs").file_stem().unwrap()); assert_eq!("foo.tar", Path::new("foo.tar.gz").file_stem().unwrap());
Extracts the extension of self.file_name
, if possible.
The extension is:
None
, if there is no file name;None
, if there is no embedded.
;None
, if the file name begins with.
and has no other.
s within;- Otherwise, the portion of the file name after the final
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert_eq!("rs", Path::new("foo.rs").extension().unwrap()); assert_eq!("gz", Path::new("foo.tar.gz").extension().unwrap());
Creates an owned PathBuf
with path
adjoined to self
.
See PathBuf::push
for more details on what it means to adjoin a path.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; assert_eq!(Path::new("/etc").join("passwd"), PathBuf::from("/etc/passwd"));
Creates an owned PathBuf
like self
but with the given file name.
See PathBuf::set_file_name
for more details.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt"); assert_eq!(path.with_file_name("bar.txt"), PathBuf::from("/tmp/bar.txt")); let path = Path::new("/tmp"); assert_eq!(path.with_file_name("var"), PathBuf::from("/var"));
Creates an owned PathBuf
like self

Produces an iterator over the Component
s of the path.
When parsing the path, there is a small amount of normalization:
-
Repeated separators are ignored, so
a/b
anda//b
both havea
andb
as components. -
Occurrences of
.
are normalized away, except if they are at the beginning of the path. For example,a/./b
,a/b/
,a/b/.
anda/b
all havea
andb
as components, but./a/b
starts with an additionalCurDir
component. -
A trailing slash is normalized away,
/a/b
and/a/b/
are equivalent.
Note that no other normalization takes place; in particular, a/c
and a/b/../c
are distinct, to account for the possibility that b
is a symbolic link (so its parent isn’t a
).
Examples
use std::path::{Path, Component}; use std::ffi::OsStr; let mut components = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt").components(); assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::RootDir)); assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::Normal(OsStr::new("tmp")))); assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::Normal(OsStr::new("foo.txt")))); assert_eq!(components.next(), None)
Produces an iterator over the path’s components viewed as OsStr
slices.
For more information about the particulars of how the path is separated
into components, see components
.
Examples
use std::path::{self, Path}; use std::ffi::OsStr; let mut it = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt").iter(); assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new(&path::MAIN_SEPARATOR.to_string()))); assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new("tmp"))); assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt"))); assert_eq!(it.next(), None)
Returns an object that implements Display
for safely printing paths
that may contain non-Unicode data. This may perform lossy conversion,
depending on the platform. If you would like an implementation which
escapes the path please use Debug
instead.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo.rs"); println!("{}", path.display());
Queries the file system to get information about a file, directory, etc.
This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.
This is an alias to fs::metadata
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/Minas/tirith"); let metadata = path.metadata().expect("metadata call failed"); println!("{:?}", metadata.file_type());
Queries the metadata about a file without following symlinks.
This is an alias to fs::symlink_metadata
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/Minas/tirith"); let metadata = path.symlink_metadata().expect("symlink_metadata call failed"); println!("{:?}", metadata.file_type());
Returns the canonical, absolute form of the path with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic links resolved.
This is an alias to fs::canonicalize
.
Examples
use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; let path = Path::new("/foo/test/../test/bar.rs"); assert_eq!(path.canonicalize().unwrap(), PathBuf::from("/foo/test/bar.rs"));
Reads a symbolic link, returning the file that the link points to.
This is an alias to fs::read_link
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/laputa/sky_castle.rs"); let path_link = path.read_link().expect("read_link call failed");
Returns an iterator over the entries within a directory.
The iterator will yield instances of io::Result
<
fs::DirEntry
>
. New
errors may be encountered after an iterator is initially constructed.
This is an alias to fs::read_dir
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; let path = Path::new("/laputa"); for entry in path.read_dir().expect("read_dir call failed") { if let Ok(entry) = entry { println!("{:?}", entry.path()); } }
Returns true
if the path points at an existing entity.
This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.
If you cannot access the metadata of the file, e.g. because of a
permission error or broken symbolic links, this will return false
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert!(!Path::new("does_not_exist.txt").exists());

This is a convenience function that coerces errors to false. If you want to
check errors, call fs::metadata
.
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (path_try_exists
)
path_try_exists
)Returns Ok(true)
if the path points at an existing entity.
This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the
destination file. In case of broken symbolic links this will return Ok(false)
.
As opposed to the exists()
method, this one doesn’t silently ignore errors
unrelated to the path not existing. (E.g. it will return Err(_)
in case of permission
denied on some of the parent directories.)
Examples
#![feature(path_try_exists)] use std::path::Path; assert!(!Path::new("does_not_exist.txt").try_exists().expect("Can't check existence of file does_not_exist.txt")); assert!(Path::new("/root/secret_file.txt").try_exists().is_err());
Returns true
if the path exists on disk and is pointing at a regular file.
This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.
If you cannot access the metadata of the file, e.g. because of a
permission error or broken symbolic links, this will return false
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert_eq!(Path::new("./is_a_directory/").is_file(), false); assert_eq!(Path::new("a_file.txt").is_file(), true);
See Also
This is a convenience function that coerces errors to false. If you want to
check errors, call fs::metadata
and handle its Result
. Then call
fs::Metadata::is_file
if it was Ok
.
When the goal is simply to read from (or write to) the source, the most
reliable way to test the source can be read (or written to) is to open
it. Only using is_file
can break workflows like diff <( prog_a )
on
a Unix-like system for example. See fs::File::open
or
fs::OpenOptions::open
for more information.
Returns true
if the path exists on disk and is pointing at a directory.
This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.
If you cannot access the metadata of the file, e.g. because of a
permission error or broken symbolic links, this will return false
.
Examples
use std::path::Path; assert_eq!(Path::new("./is_a_directory/").is_dir(), true); assert_eq!(Path::new("a_file.txt").is_dir(), false);

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (is_symlink
)
is_symlink
)Returns true if the path exists on disk and is pointing at a symbolic link.
This function will not traverse symbolic links. In case of a broken symbolic link this will also return true.
If you cannot access the directory containing the file, e.g., because of a permission error, this will return false.
Examples
#![feature(is_symlink)] use std::path::Path; use std::os::unix::fs::symlink; let link_path = Path::new("link"); symlink("/origin_does_not_exists/", link_path).unwrap(); assert_eq!(link_path.is_symlink(), true); assert_eq!(link_path.exists(), false);
