Module compiler

`io::fs`

Functions that inspect the file system (exists, metadata, list_dir, realpath, …) need --allow-read; those that create, remove or rename need --allow-write, and copy needs both. See Permissions.

There is no whole-file read or write here: use io::file (read_text, write_bytes, …) or open a stream with io::open. The stdlib path module wraps these functions in a Path value.

Built into the compiler.

Import what you use (use path::* is not allowed):

use io::fs::{copy, create_dir};

Functions#

Name	Description
`copy`	Copies the contents of file `from` to `to`, creating or overwriting `to`.
`create_dir`	Creates the directory `path`.
`create_dir_all`	Creates the directory `path` and any missing parent directories.
`exists`	Returns whether anything exists at `path`.
`is_dir`	Returns whether `path` is a directory, following symbolic links.
`is_file`	Returns whether `path` is a regular file, following symbolic links.
`is_symlink`	Returns whether `path` itself is a symbolic link (the link is not followed).
`list_dir`	Returns the names of the entries in directory `path`, sorted.
`metadata`	Returns facts about `path` as a record, without following a final symbolic link.
`read_link`	Returns the target stored in the symbolic link at `path`.
`realpath`	Returns the canonical absolute form of `path`, with every symbolic link, `.` and `..` resolved.
`remove_dir`	Removes the empty directory `path`.
`remove_dir_all`	Removes the directory `path` and everything inside it.
`remove_file`	Removes the file (or symbolic link) at `path`.
`rename`	Renames (moves) `from` to `to`, replacing `to` if it is a file.
`symlink`	Creates a symbolic link at `link` that points to `target`.
