Function metadata

pub async fn metadata<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Metadata>

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

current implementation is only for Linux.

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.
  • execute(search) permission is required on all of the directories in path that lead to the file.
• path does not exist.

Examples

use monoio::fs;

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