Struct bitflags::__core::path::PathBuf
[−]
[src]
pub struct PathBuf {
// some fields omitted
}1.0.0An owned, mutable path (akin to String).
This type provides methods like push and set_extension that mutate the
path in place. It also implements Deref to Path, meaning that all
methods on Path slices are available on PathBuf values as well.
More details about the overall approach can be found in the module documentation.
Examples
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::from("c:\\"); path.push("windows"); path.push("system32"); path.set_extension("dll");
Methods
impl PathBuf
fn new() -> PathBuf
Allocates an empty PathBuf.
fn as_path(&self) -> &Path
Coerces to a Path slice.
fn push<P>(&mut self, path: P) where P: AsRef<Path>
Extends self with path.
If path is absolute, it replaces the current path.
On Windows:
- if
pathhas a root but no prefix (e.g.\windows), it replaces everything except for the prefix (if any) ofself. - if
pathhas a prefix but no root, it replacesself.
Examples
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut path = PathBuf::new(); path.push("/tmp"); path.push("file.bk"); assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/tmp/file.bk")); // Pushing an absolute path replaces the current path path.push("/etc/passwd"); assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/etc/passwd"));
fn pop(&mut self) -> bool
Truncate self to self.parent().
Returns false and does nothing if self.file_name() is None.
Otherwise, returns true.
fn set_file_name<S>(&mut self, file_name: S) where S: AsRef<OsStr>
Updates self.file_name() to file_name.
If self.file_name() was None, this is equivalent to pushing
file_name.
Examples
use std::path::PathBuf; let mut buf = PathBuf::from("/"); assert!(buf.file_name() == None); buf.set_file_name("bar"); assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/bar")); assert!(buf.file_name().is_some()); buf.set_file_name("baz.txt"); assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/baz.txt"));
fn set_extension<S>(&mut self, extension: S) -> bool where S: AsRef<OsStr>
Updates self.extension() to extension.
If self.file_name() is None, does nothing and returns false.
Otherwise, returns true; if self.extension() is None, the extension
is added; otherwise it is replaced.
fn into_os_string(self) -> OsString
Consumes the PathBuf, yielding its internal OsString storage.
Methods from Deref<Target=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_absoluteandhas_rootare equivalent.On Windows, a path is absolute if it has a prefix and starts with the root:
c:\windowsis absolute, whilec:tempand\tempare 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 prefix(&self) -> Option<Prefix>
: inspect components().next() instead
Returns the prefix of a path, if any.
Prefixes are relevant only for Windows paths, and consist of volumes
like C:, UNC prefixes like \\server, and others described in more
detail in std::os::windows::PathExt.
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:\windowsbut notc:windows - has any non-disk prefix, e.g.
\\server\share
- has no prefix and begins with a separator, e.g.
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 relative_from<P>(&'a self, base: &'a P) -> Option<&'a Path> where P: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized
: renamed to strip_prefix
Returns a path that, when joined onto base, yields self.
If base is not a prefix of self (i.e. starts_with
returns false), then relative_from returns None.
1.7.0fn strip_prefix<P>(&'a self, base: &'a P) -> Result<&'a Path, StripPrefixError> where P: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized
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>

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

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
