path.rs

//! Cross-platform path manipulation.
//!
//! This module provides two types, [`PathBuf`] and [`Path`] (akin to [`String`]
//! and [`str`]), for working with paths abstractly. These types are thin wrappers
//! around [`OsString`] and [`OsStr`] respectively, meaning that they work directly
//! on strings according to the local platform's path syntax.
//!
//! Paths can be parsed into [`Component`]s by iterating over the structure
//! returned by the [`components`] method on [`Path`]. [`Component`]s roughly
//! correspond to the substrings between path separators (`/` or `\`). You can
//! reconstruct an equivalent path from components with the [`push`] method on
//! [`PathBuf`]; note that the paths may differ syntactically by the
//! normalization described in the documentation for the [`components`] method.
//!
//! ## Case sensitivity
//!
//! Unless otherwise indicated path methods that do not access the filesystem,
//! such as [`Path::starts_with`] and [`Path::ends_with`], are case sensitive no
//! matter the platform or filesystem. An exception to this is made for Windows
//! drive letters.
//!
//! ## Simple usage
//!
//! Path manipulation includes both parsing components from slices and building
//! new owned paths.
//!
//! To parse a path, you can create a [`Path`] slice from a [`str`]
//! slice and start asking questions:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::path::Path;
//! use std::ffi::OsStr;
//!
//! let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo/bar.txt");
//!
//! let parent = path.parent();
//! assert_eq!(parent, Some(Path::new("/tmp/foo")));
//!
//! let file_stem = path.file_stem();
//! assert_eq!(file_stem, Some(OsStr::new("bar")));
//!
//! let extension = path.extension();
//! assert_eq!(extension, Some(OsStr::new("txt")));
//! ```
//!
//! To build or modify paths, use [`PathBuf`]:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//!
//! // This way works...
//! let mut path = PathBuf::from("c:\\");
//!
//! path.push("windows");
//! path.push("system32");
//!
//! path.set_extension("dll");
//!
//! // ... but push is best used if you don't know everything up
//! // front. If you do, this way is better:
//! let path: PathBuf = ["c:\\", "windows", "system32.dll"].iter().collect();
//! ```
//!
//! [`components`]: Path::components
//! [`push`]: PathBuf::push

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// GENERAL NOTES
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Parsing in this module is done by directly transmuting OsStr to [u8] slices,
// taking advantage of the fact that OsStr always encodes ASCII characters
// as-is.  Eventually, this transmutation should be replaced by direct uses of
// OsStr APIs for parsing, but it will take a while for those to become
// available.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Windows Prefixes
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/// Windows path prefixes, e.g., `C:` or `\\server\share`.
///
/// Windows uses a variety of path prefix styles, including references to drive
/// volumes (like `C:`), network shared folders (like `\\server\share`), and
/// others. In addition, some path prefixes are "verbatim" (i.e., prefixed with
/// `\\?\`), in which case `/` is *not* treated as a separator and essentially
/// no normalization is performed.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::path::{Component, Path, Prefix};
/// use std::path::Prefix::*;
/// use std::ffi::OsStr;
///
/// fn get_path_prefix(s: &str) -> Prefix<'_> {
///     let path = Path::new(s);
///     match path.components().next().unwrap() {
///         Component::Prefix(prefix_component) => prefix_component.kind(),
///         _ => panic!(),
///     }
/// }
///
/// # if cfg!(windows) {
/// assert_eq!(Verbatim(OsStr::new("pictures")),
///            get_path_prefix(r"\\?\pictures\kittens"));
