filetypeenum

An enum with a variant for each file type.

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

If you don't need an enum, check these methods from std instead:

• [Path::is_file].
• [Path::is_dir].
• [Path::is_symlink].

Example

```rust use filetypeenum::FileType;

fn main() -> io::Result<()> { let filetype = FileType::frompath("/tmp")?;

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

Ok(())

} ```

Note that the [FileType::from_path] follows symlinks and [FileType::from_symlink_path] does not.

Conversions

• From [AsRef<Path>], [fs::Metadata] and [std's FileType].
• From and into [libc::mode_t] (via the feature "mode-t-conversion").
