Struct nix::dir::Dir

pub struct Dir(_);

An open directory.

This is a lower-level interface than std::fs::ReadDir. Notable differences:

• can be opened from a file descriptor (as returned by openat, perhaps before knowing if the path represents a file or directory).
• implements AsRawFd, so it can be passed to fstat, openat, etc. The file descriptor continues to be owned by the Dir, so callers must not keep a RawFd after the Dir is dropped.
• can be iterated through multiple times without closing and reopening the file descriptor. Each iteration rewinds when finished.
• returns entries for . (current directory) and .. (parent directory).
• returns entries’ names as a CStr (no allocation or conversion beyond whatever libc does).

Implementations

impl Dir

pub fn open<P: ?Sized + NixPath>(
    path: &P,
    oflag: OFlag,
    mode: Mode
) -> Result<Self>

Opens the given path as with fcntl::open.

pub fn openat<P: ?Sized + NixPath>(
    dirfd: RawFd,
    path: &P,
    oflag: OFlag,
    mode: Mode
) -> Result<Self>

Opens the given path as with fcntl::openat.

pub fn from<F: IntoRawFd>(fd: F) -> Result<Self>

Converts from a descriptor-based object, closing the descriptor on success or failure.

pub fn from_fd(fd: RawFd) -> Result<Self>

Converts from a file descriptor, closing it on success or failure.

pub fn iter(&mut self) -> Iter<'_>

Returns an iterator of Result<Entry> which rewinds when finished.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRawFd for Dir

fn as_raw_fd(&self) -> RawFd

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

impl Debug for Dir

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Dir

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl Hash for Dir

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where
    H: Hasher,
    Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl IntoIterator for Dir

fn into_iter(self) -> Self::IntoIter

Creates a owning iterator, that is, one that takes ownership of the Dir. The Dir cannot be used after calling this. This can be useful when you have a function that both creates a Dir instance and returns an Iterator.

Example:

use nix::{dir::Dir, fcntl::OFlag, sys::stat::Mode};
use std::{iter::Iterator, string::String};

fn ls_upper(dirname: &str) -> impl Iterator<Item=String> {
    let d = Dir::open(dirname, OFlag::O_DIRECTORY, Mode::S_IXUSR).unwrap();
    d.into_iter().map(|x| x.unwrap().file_name().as_ref().to_string_lossy().to_ascii_uppercase())
}

type Item = Result<Entry, Errno>

The type of the elements being iterated over.

type IntoIter = OwningIter

Which kind of iterator are we turning this into?

impl PartialEq<Dir> for Dir

fn eq(&self, other: &Dir) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Eq for Dir

impl Send for Dir

impl StructuralEq for Dir

impl StructuralPartialEq for Dir
