Enum FileType

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum FileType {
    Unknown,
    Regular,
    Directory,
    SymbolicLink,
    Special,
    Shortcut,
    Mountable,
}

Indicates the file’s on-disk type.

On Windows systems a file will never have SymbolicLink type; use #GFileInfo and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_SYMLINK to determine whether a file is a symlink or not. This is due to the fact that NTFS does not have a single filesystem object type for symbolic links - it has files that symlink to files, and directories that symlink to directories. #GFileType enumeration cannot precisely represent this important distinction, which is why all Windows symlinks will continue to be reported as Regular or Directory.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Unknown

File’s type is unknown.

Regular

File handle represents a regular file.

Directory

File handle represents a directory.

SymbolicLink

File handle represents a symbolic link (Unix systems).

Special

File is a “special” file, such as a socket, fifo, block device, or character device.

Shortcut

File is a shortcut (Windows systems).

Mountable

File is a mountable location.

Trait Implementations

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<FileType> for Value

fn from(v: FileType) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl<'a> FromValue<'a> for FileType

type Checker = GenericValueTypeChecker<FileType>

Value type checker.

unsafe fn from_value(value: &'a Value) -> Self

Get the contained value from a Value.

impl HasParamSpec for FileType

type ParamSpec = ParamSpecEnum

type SetValue = FileType

Preferred value to be used as setter for the associated ParamSpec.

type BuilderFn = fn(_: &str, _: FileType) -> ParamSpecEnumBuilder<'_, FileType>

fn param_spec_builder() -> Self::BuilderFn

impl Hash for FileType

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for FileType

fn cmp(&self, other: &FileType) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

impl PartialEq for FileType

fn eq(&self, other: &FileType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

impl ValueType for FileType

type Type = FileType

Type to get the Type from.

impl Copy for FileType
