Simple and minimal enum with one variant for each file type.

This crate is very, very small. But it may save you from writing 120 redundant lines in your projects.

Size for each target family: - unix.rs: ~ 120 SLOC (Source lines of code) - windows.rs: ~ 70 SLOC (Source lines of code)

Here are some examples in unix, but file_type_enum works on windows too!

Examples:

```rust use filetypeenum::FileType;

fn main() { let path = "/tmp"; let filetype = FileType::tryfrom_path(path).unwrap();

println!("There's a {} at {}!", file_type, path);
// Outputs: "There's a directory at /tmp!"

} ```

Note: FileType::try_from_path() fails if: * The user lacks permissions to read metadata on the path. * Path does not exist.

By default, FileType::try_from_path() will follow symlinks, so the Result will never retrieve a FileType::Symlink, however, we have a specific function if you don't want it to follow symlinks:

```rust use filetypeenum::FileType;

fn main() { let path = "/dev/stdout"; let filetype = FileType::tryfromsymlinkpath(path).unwrap();

println!("There's a {} at {}!", file_type, path);
// Outputs: "There's a symbolic link at /dev/stdout!"

} ```

Enum FileType:

There are up to 7 file types in unix and 3 in windows:

rust pub enum FileType { File, Directory, Symlink, BlockDevice, // unix only CharDevice, // unix only Fifo, // unix only Socket, // unix only }

Bool short hands for each type

Besides granting a variant for each file type, there is also a function for each type to serve as a short hand to return a bool

```rust use filetypeenum::FileType;

fn main() { let path = ".git"; let filetype = FileType::tryfrom_path(path).unwrap();

if !file_type.is_dir() {
    println!("We are not inside of a git repository.");
}

} ```

Last example, passing the io::Error around.

Show file type for every env::args():

```rust use filetypeenum::FileType;

use std::{env, io};

fn main() -> Result<(), io::Error> { for path in env::args().skip(1) { let filetype = FileType::tryfrompath(&path)?; println!("'{}' is a {}.", path, filetype); } Ok(()) } ```
