pub fn metadata<P>(path: P) -> Result<Metadata, Error>
where P: AsRef<Path>,
Expand description

Given a path, query the file system to get information about a file, directory, etc.

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.

§Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the stat function on Unix and the GetFileInformationByHandle function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

§Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

  • The user lacks permissions to perform metadata call on path.
  • path does not exist.

§Examples

use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let attr = fs::metadata("/some/file/path.txt")?;
    // inspect attr ...
    Ok(())
}
