Simpath

A small and simple crate (in the spirit of my "simp*" crates) for search paths, like $PATH and $LD_PATH.

Example

Create a Simpath that loads from the $PATH environment variable using:

let path = simppath::new("PATH");

Then find a file called filename by searching the directories in PATH in order - as a PathBuf let file = path.find("filename");

Platforms

The following platforms are supported and tested in CI * Linux * MacOS * Windows (with the ";" separator character used for parsing paths from environment variables)

Methods

• create a search path, initialized from an environment variable
• create a search path, initialized form an environment variable, using a custom separator character
• add a new directory to the search path
• get the name of the path
• get the list of directories in the path
• find a file in the path
• find a file of type File or type Directory on the path
• check if the search path already contains a directory entry
• add to the search path, loading the entries from an environment variable
• add to the search path, loading the entries from an environment variable, using a custom separator character
• validate that all directory entries in the path are valid, exist and can be read

Traits

• implements the fmt::Display trait
• Derives Clone
• Derives Debug
