Enum std::path::Component

pub enum Component<'a> {
    Prefix(PrefixComponent<'a>),
    RootDir,
    CurDir,
    ParentDir,
    Normal(&'a OsStr),
}

A single component of a path.

A Component roughly corresponds to a substring between path separators (/ or \).

This enum is created by iterating over Components, which in turn is created by the components method on Path.

Examples

use std::path::{Component, Path};

let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo/bar.txt");
let components = path.components().collect::<Vec<_>>();
assert_eq!(&components, &[
    Component::RootDir,
    Component::Normal("tmp".as_ref()),
    Component::Normal("foo".as_ref()),
    Component::Normal("bar.txt".as_ref()),
]);

Variants

Prefix(PrefixComponent<'a>)

A Windows path prefix, e.g., C: or \\server\share.

There is a large variety of prefix types, see Prefix’s documentation for more.

Does not occur on Unix.

Tuple Fields of Prefix

RootDir

The root directory component, appears after any prefix and before anything else.

It represents a separator that designates that a path starts from root.

CurDir

A reference to the current directory, i.e., ..

ParentDir

A reference to the parent directory, i.e., ...

Normal(&'a OsStr)

A normal component, e.g., a and b in a/b.

This variant is the most common one, it represents references to files or directories.

Tuple Fields of Normal

0: &'a OsStr

Implementations

Extracts the underlying OsStr slice.

Examples

use std::path::Path;

let path = Path::new("./tmp/foo/bar.txt");
let components: Vec<_> = path.components().map(|comp| comp.as_os_str()).collect();
assert_eq!(&components, &[".", "tmp", "foo", "bar.txt"]);
