• 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::symlink_metadata("/some/file/path.txt").await?;
    // inspect attr ...
    Ok(())
}
