Function std::fs::read

pub fn read<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Read the entire contents of a file into a bytes vector.

This is a convenience function for using File::open and read_to_end with fewer imports and without an intermediate variable. It pre-allocates a buffer based on the file size when available, so it is generally faster than reading into a vector created with Vec::new().

Errors

This function will return an error if path does not already exist. Other errors may also be returned according to OpenOptions::open.

It will also return an error if it encounters while reading an error of a kind other than io::ErrorKind::Interrupted.

Examples

use std::fs;
use std::net::SocketAddr;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error + 'static>> {
    let foo: SocketAddr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&fs::read("address.txt")?).parse()?;
    Ok(())
}
