Struct File

pub struct File { /* private fields */ }

A reference to an open file on a filesystem.

This corresponds to std::fs::File.

This File has no open or create methods. To open or create a file, first obtain a Dir containing the path, and then call Dir::open or Dir::create.

Implementations

impl File

pub fn from_std(std: File) -> Self

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

This grants access the resources the std::fs::File instance already has access to.

pub fn into_std(self) -> File

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

pub fn sync_all(&self) -> Result<()>

Attempts to sync all OS-internal metadata to disk.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::sync_all.

pub fn sync_data(&self) -> Result<()>

This function is similar to sync_all, except that it may not synchronize file metadata to a filesystem.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::sync_data.

pub fn set_len(&self, size: u64) -> Result<()>

Truncates or extends the underlying file, updating the size of this file to become size.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::set_len.

pub fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>

Queries metadata about the underlying file.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::metadata.

pub fn try_clone(&self) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new File instance that shares the same underlying file handle as the existing File instance.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::try_clone.

pub fn set_permissions(&self, perm: Permissions) -> Result<()>

Changes the permissions on the underlying file.

This corresponds to std::fs::File::set_permissions.

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

Constructs a new instance of Self in read-only mode by opening the given path as a file using the host process’ ambient authority.

Ambient Authority

This function is not sandboxed and may access any path that the host process has access to.

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

Constructs a new instance of Self in write-only mode by opening, creating or truncating, the given path as a file using the host process’ ambient authority.

Ambient Authority

This function is not sandboxed and may access any path that the host process has access to.

pub fn open_ambient_with<P: AsRef<Path>>( path: P, options: &OpenOptions, ambient_authority: AmbientAuthority, ) -> Result<Self>

Ambient Authority

This function is not sandboxed and may access any path that the host process has access to.

pub fn options() -> OpenOptions

Returns a new OpenOptions object.
