Struct bitflags::__core::path::Path1.0.0 [] [src]

pub struct Path {
    // some fields omitted
}

A slice of a path (akin to str).

This type supports a number of operations for inspecting a path, including breaking the path into its components (separated by / or \, depending on the platform), extracting the file name, determining whether the path is absolute, and so on. More details about the overall approach can be found in the module documentation.

This is an unsized type, meaning that it must always be used behind a pointer like & or Box.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo/bar.txt");
let file = path.file_name();
let extension = path.extension();
let parent_dir = path.parent();

Methods

impl Path

fn new<S>(s: &S) -> &Path where S: AsRef<OsStr> + ?Sized

Directly wrap a string slice as a Path slice.

This is a cost-free conversion.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

Path::new("foo.txt");

You can create Paths from Strings, or even other Paths:

use std::path::Path;

let string = String::from("foo.txt");
let from_string = Path::new(&string);
let from_path = Path::new(&from_string);
assert_eq!(from_string, from_path);

fn as_os_str(&self) -> &OsStr

Yields the underlying OsStr slice.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let os_str = Path::new("foo.txt").as_os_str();
assert_eq!(os_str, std::ffi::OsStr::new("foo.txt"));

fn to_str(&self) -> Option<&str>

Yields a &str slice if the Path is valid unicode.

This conversion may entail doing a check for UTF-8 validity.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path_str = Path::new("foo.txt").to_str();
assert_eq!(path_str, Some("foo.txt"));

fn to_string_lossy(&self) -> Cow<str>

Converts a Path to a Cow<str>.

Any non-Unicode sequences are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path_str = Path::new("foo.txt").to_string_lossy();
assert_eq!(path_str, "foo.txt");

fn to_path_buf(&self) -> PathBuf

Converts a Path to an owned PathBuf.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path_buf = Path::new("foo.txt").to_path_buf();
assert_eq!(path_buf, std::path::PathBuf::from("foo.txt"));

fn is_absolute(&self) -> bool

A path is absolute if it is independent of the current directory.

  • On Unix, a path is absolute if it starts with the root, so is_absolute and has_root are equivalent.

  • On Windows, a path is absolute if it has a prefix and starts with the root: c:\windows is absolute, while c:temp and \temp are not. In other words, path.is_absolute() == path.prefix().is_some() && path.has_root().

Examples

use std::path::Path;

assert!(!Path::new("foo.txt").is_absolute());

fn is_relative(&self) -> bool

A path is relative if it is not absolute.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

assert!(Path::new("foo.txt").is_relative());

fn has_root(&self) -> bool

A path has a root if the body of the path begins with the directory separator.

  • 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 not c:windows
    • has any non-disk prefix, e.g. \\server\share

Examples

use std::path::Path;

assert!(Path::new("/etc/passwd").has_root());

fn parent(&self) -> Option<&Path>

The path without its final component, if any.

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);

fn file_name(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

The final component of the path, if it is a normal file.

If the path terminates in ., .., or consists solely of a root of prefix, file_name will return None.

Examples

use std::path::Path;
use std::ffi::OsStr;

let path = Path::new("foo.txt");
let os_str = OsStr::new("foo.txt");

assert_eq!(Some(os_str), path.file_name());

fn strip_prefix<P>(&'a self, base: &'a P) -> Result<&'a Path, StripPrefixError> where P: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized
1.7.0

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.

fn starts_with<P>(&self, base: P) -> bool where P: AsRef<Path>

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("/e"));

fn ends_with<P>(&self, child: P) -> bool where P: AsRef<Path>

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/passwd");

assert!(path.ends_with("passwd"));

fn file_stem(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

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;

let path = Path::new("foo.rs");

assert_eq!("foo", path.file_stem().unwrap());

fn extension(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>

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;

let path = Path::new("foo.rs");

assert_eq!("rs", path.extension().unwrap());

fn join<P>(&self, path: P) -> PathBuf where P: AsRef<Path>

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"));

fn with_file_name<S>(&self, file_name: S) -> PathBuf where S: AsRef<OsStr>

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"));

fn with_extension<S>(&self, extension: S) -> PathBuf where S: AsRef<OsStr>

Creates an owned PathBuf like self but with the given extension.

See PathBuf::set_extension for more details.

Examples

use std::path::{Path, PathBuf};

let path = Path::new("foo.rs");
assert_eq!(path.with_extension("txt"), PathBuf::from("foo.txt"));

fn components(&self) -> Components

Produce an iterator over the components of the path.

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)

fn iter(&self) -> Iter

Produce an iterator over the path's components viewed as OsStr slices.

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)

fn display(&self) -> Display

Returns an object that implements Display for safely printing paths that may contain non-Unicode data.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo.rs");

println!("{}", path.display());

fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata, Error>
