Struct DirEntry

pub struct DirEntry<'a> {
    pub parent: &'a Directory,
    pub path: OwnedPath<Rel>,
    pub file_type_hint: Option<FileType>,
    pub inode_num: NonZero<u64>,
}

Available on Linux only.

An entry in a Directory’s records, taking the form of a reference to the parent Directory and the relative path to this entry, along with a few other pieces of information.

Among these other pieces of information, is the entry’s inode number and a hint about the FileType of the entry. Unfortunately, this field is often not present, and therefore considered only a hint. If the FileType is present and has some value, it can be trusted (subject to TOCTOU restrictions), but the possibility of it not existing should always be considered or even expected.

Fields

parent: &'a Directory

path: OwnedPath<Rel>

file_type_hint: Option<FileType>

inode_num: NonZero<u64>
