# Struct std::path::PathBuf 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct PathBuf { /* fields omitted */ }

An owned, mutable path (akin to `String`).

This type provides methods like `push` and `set_extension` that mutate the path in place. It also implements `Deref` to `Path`, meaning that all methods on `Path` slices are available on `PathBuf` values as well.

More details about the overall approach can be found in the module documentation.

# Examples

You can use `push` to build up a `PathBuf` from components:

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let mut path = PathBuf::new();

    path.push(r"C:\");
    path.push("windows");
    path.push("system32");

    path.set_extension("dll");Run

However, `push` is best used for dynamic situations. This is a better way to do this when you know all of the components ahead of time:

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let path: PathBuf = [r"C:\", "windows", "system32.dll"].iter().collect();Run

We can still do better than this! Since these are all strings, we can use `From::from`:

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let path = PathBuf::from(r"C:\windows\system32.dll");Run

Which method works best depends on what kind of situation you're in.

## Methods

### `impl PathBuf`
[src]

#### `fn new() -> PathBuf`
[src]

Allocates an empty `PathBuf`.

# Examples

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let path = PathBuf::new();Run

#### `fn as_path(&self) -> &Path`
[src]

Coerces to a `Path` slice.

# Examples

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

    let p = PathBuf::from("/test");
    assert_eq!(Path::new("/test"), p.as_path());Run

#### `fn push<P: AsRef<Path>>(&mut self, path: P)`
[src]

Extends `self` with `path`.

If `path` is absolute, it replaces the current path.

On Windows:

- if `path` has a root but no prefix (e.g. `\windows`), it replaces everything except for the prefix (if any) of `self`.
- if `path` has a prefix but no root, it replaces `self`.

# Examples

Pushing a relative path extends the existing path:

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let mut path = PathBuf::from("/tmp");
    path.push("file.bk");
    assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/tmp/file.bk"));Run

Pushing an absolute path replaces the existing path:

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let mut path = PathBuf::from("/tmp");
    path.push("/etc");
    assert_eq!(path, PathBuf::from("/etc"));Run

#### `fn pop(&mut self) -> bool`
[src]

Truncates `self` to `self.parent`.

Returns `false` and does nothing if `self.file_name` is `None`. Otherwise, returns `true`.

# Examples

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

    let mut p = PathBuf::from("/test/test.rs");

    p.pop();
    assert_eq!(Path::new("/test"), p);
    p.pop();
    assert_eq!(Path::new("/"), p);Run

#### `fn set_file_name<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&mut self, file_name: S)`
[src]

Updates `self.file_name` to `file_name`.

If `self.file_name` was `None`, this is equivalent to pushing `file_name`.

Otherwise it is equivalent to calling `pop` and then pushing `file_name`. The new path will be a sibling of the original path. (That is, it will have the same parent.)

# Examples

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let mut buf = PathBuf::from("/");
    assert!(buf.file_name() == None);
    buf.set_file_name("bar");
    assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/bar"));
    assert!(buf.file_name().is_some());
    buf.set_file_name("baz.txt");
    assert!(buf == PathBuf::from("/baz.txt"));Run

#### `fn set_extension<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&mut self, extension: S) -> bool`
[src]

Updates `self.extension` to `extension`.

Returns `false` and does nothing if `self.file_name` is `None`, returns `true` and updates the extension otherwise.

If `self.extension` is `None`, the extension is added; otherwise it is replaced.

# Examples

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

    let mut p = PathBuf::from("/feel/the");

    p.set_extension("force");
    assert_eq!(Path::new("/feel/the.force"), p.as_path());

    p.set_extension("dark_side");
    assert_eq!(Path::new("/feel/the.dark_side"), p.as_path());Run

#### `fn into_os_string(self) -> OsString`
[src]

Consumes the `PathBuf`, yielding its internal `OsString` storage.

# Examples

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let p = PathBuf::from("/the/head");
    let os_str = p.into_os_string();Run

#### `fn into_boxed_path(self) -> Box<Path>`
1.20.0
[src]

Converts this `PathBuf` into a boxed `Path`.

## Methods from Deref<Target = Path>

#### `fn as_os_str(&self) -> &OsStr`
[src]

Yields the underlying `OsStr` slice.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let os_str = Path::new("foo.txt").as_os_str();
    assert_eq!(os_str, std::ffi::OsStr::new("foo.txt"));Run

#### `fn to_str(&self) -> Option<&str>`
[src]

Yields a `&str` slice if the `Path` is valid unicode.

This conversion may entail doing a check for UTF-8 validity.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("foo.txt");
    assert_eq!(path.to_str(), Some("foo.txt"));Run

#### `fn to_string_lossy(&self) -> Cow<str>`
[src]

Converts a `Path` to a `Cow<str>`.

Any non-Unicode sequences are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.

# Examples

Calling `to_string_lossy` on a `Path` with valid unicode:

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("foo.txt");
    assert_eq!(path.to_string_lossy(), "foo.txt");Run

Had `path` contained invalid unicode, the `to_string_lossy` call might have returned `"fo�.txt"`.

#### `fn to_path_buf(&self) -> PathBuf`
[src]

Converts a `Path` to an owned `PathBuf`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path_buf = Path::new("foo.txt").to_path_buf();
    assert_eq!(path_buf, std::path::PathBuf::from("foo.txt"));Run

#### `fn is_absolute(&self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns `true` if the `Path` is absolute, i.e. if it is independent of the current directory.

- On Unix, a path is absolute if it starts with the root, so `is_absolute` and `has_root` are equivalent.

- On Windows, a path is absolute if it has a prefix and starts with the root: `c:\windows` is absolute, while `c:temp` and `\temp` are not.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    assert!(!Path::new("foo.txt").is_absolute());Run

#### `fn is_relative(&self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns `true` if the `Path` is relative, i.e. not absolute.

See `is_absolute`'s documentation for more details.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    assert!(Path::new("foo.txt").is_relative());Run

#### `fn has_root(&self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns `true` if the `Path` has a root.

- On Unix, a path has a root if it begins with `/`.

- On Windows, a path has a root if it:

  - has no prefix and begins with a separator, e.g. `\\windows`
  - has a prefix followed by a separator, e.g. `c:\windows` but not `c:windows`
  - has any non-disk prefix, e.g. `\\server\share`

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    assert!(Path::new("/etc/passwd").has_root());Run

#### `fn parent(&self) -> Option<&Path>`
[src]

Returns the `Path` without its final component, if there is one.

Returns `None` if the path terminates in a root or prefix.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/foo/bar");
    let parent = path.parent().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(parent, Path::new("/foo"));

    let grand_parent = parent.parent().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(grand_parent, Path::new("/"));
    assert_eq!(grand_parent.parent(), None);Run

#### `fn file_name(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>`
[src]

Returns the final component of the `Path`, if there is one.

If the path is a normal file, this is the file name. If it's the path of a directory, this is the directory name.

Returns `None` If the path terminates in `..`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;
    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("bin")), Path::new("/usr/bin/").file_name());
    assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("tmp/foo.txt").file_name());
    assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("foo.txt/.").file_name());
    assert_eq!(Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")), Path::new("foo.txt/.//").file_name());
    assert_eq!(None, Path::new("foo.txt/..").file_name());
    assert_eq!(None, Path::new("/").file_name());Run

#### `fn strip_prefix<'a, P: ?Sized>(
&'a self,
base: &'a P
) -> Result<&'a Path, StripPrefixError> where
P: AsRef<Path>,`
1.7.0
[src]

Returns a path that, when joined onto `base`, yields `self`.

# Errors

If `base` is not a prefix of `self` (i.e. `starts_with` returns `false`), returns `Err`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/test/haha/foo.txt");

    assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/test"), Ok(Path::new("haha/foo.txt")));
    assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("test").is_ok(), false);
    assert_eq!(path.strip_prefix("/haha").is_ok(), false);Run

#### `fn starts_with<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, base: P) -> bool`
[src]

Determines whether `base` is a prefix of `self`.

Only considers whole path components to match.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/etc/passwd");

    assert!(path.starts_with("/etc"));

    assert!(!path.starts_with("/e"));Run

#### `fn ends_with<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, child: P) -> bool`
[src]

Determines whether `child` is a suffix of `self`.

Only considers whole path components to match.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/etc/passwd");

    assert!(path.ends_with("passwd"));Run

#### `fn file_stem(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>`
[src]

Extracts the stem (non-extension) portion of `self.file_name`.

The stem is:

- `None`, if there is no file name;
- The entire file name if there is no embedded `.`;
- The entire file name if the file name begins with `.` and has no other `.`s within;
- Otherwise, the portion of the file name before the final `.`

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("foo.rs");

    assert_eq!("foo", path.file_stem().unwrap());Run

#### `fn extension(&self) -> Option<&OsStr>`
[src]

Extracts the extension of `self.file_name`, if possible.

The extension is:

- `None`, if there is no file name;
- `None`, if there is no embedded `.`;
- `None`, if the file name begins with `.` and has no other `.`s within;
- Otherwise, the portion of the file name after the final `.`

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("foo.rs");

    assert_eq!("rs", path.extension().unwrap());Run

#### `fn join<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> PathBuf`
[src]

Creates an owned `PathBuf` with `path` adjoined to `self`.

See `PathBuf::push` for more details on what it means to adjoin a path.

# Examples

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

    assert_eq!(Path::new("/etc").join("passwd"), PathBuf::from("/etc/passwd"));Run

#### `fn with_file_name<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, file_name: S) -> PathBuf`
[src]

Creates an owned `PathBuf` like `self` but with the given file name.

See `PathBuf::set_file_name` for more details.

# Examples

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

    let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt");
    assert_eq!(path.with_file_name("bar.txt"), PathBuf::from("/tmp/bar.txt"));

    let path = Path::new("/tmp");
    assert_eq!(path.with_file_name("var"), PathBuf::from("/var"));Run

#### `fn with_extension<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, extension: S) -> PathBuf`
[src]

Creates an owned `PathBuf` like `self` but with the given extension.

See `PathBuf::set_extension` for more details.

# Examples

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

    let path = Path::new("foo.rs");
    assert_eq!(path.with_extension("txt"), PathBuf::from("foo.txt"));Run

#### `fn components(&self) -> Components`
[src]

Produces an iterator over the `Component`s of the path.

When parsing the path, there is a small amount of normalization:

- Repeated separators are ignored, so `a/b` and `a//b` both have `a` and `b` as components.

- Occurrences of `.` are normalized away, except if they are at the beginning of the path. For example, `a/./b`, `a/b/`, `a/b/.` and `a/b` all have `a` and `b` as components, but `./a/b` starts with an additional `CurDir` component.

Note that no other normalization takes place; in particular, `a/c` and `a/b/../c` are distinct, to account for the possibility that `b` is a symbolic link (so its parent isn't `a`).

# Examples

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

    let mut components = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt").components();

    assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::RootDir));
    assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::Normal(OsStr::new("tmp"))));
    assert_eq!(components.next(), Some(Component::Normal(OsStr::new("foo.txt"))));
    assert_eq!(components.next(), None)Run

#### `fn iter(&self) -> Iter`
[src]

Produces an iterator over the path's components viewed as `OsStr` slices.

For more information about the particulars of how the path is separated into components, see `components`.

# Examples

    use std::path::{self, Path};
    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    let mut it = Path::new("/tmp/foo.txt").iter();
    assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new(&path::MAIN_SEPARATOR.to_string())));
    assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new("tmp")));
    assert_eq!(it.next(), Some(OsStr::new("foo.txt")));
    assert_eq!(it.next(), None)Run

#### `fn display(&self) -> Display`
[src]

Returns an object that implements `Display` for safely printing paths that may contain non-Unicode data.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/tmp/foo.rs");

    println!("{}", path.display());Run

#### `fn metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>`
1.5.0
[src]

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.

This is an alias to `fs::metadata`.

# Examples

    let path = Path::new("/Minas/tirith");
    let metadata = path.metadata().expect("metadata call failed");
    println!("{:?}", metadata.file_type());Run

#### `fn symlink_metadata(&self) -> Result<Metadata>`
1.5.0
[src]

Queries the metadata about a file without following symlinks.

This is an alias to `fs::symlink_metadata`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/Minas/tirith");
    let metadata = path.symlink_metadata().expect("symlink_metadata call failed");
    println!("{:?}", metadata.file_type());Run

#### `fn canonicalize(&self) -> Result<PathBuf>`
1.5.0
[src]

Returns the canonical form of the path with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic links resolved.

# Examples

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

    let path = Path::new("/foo/test/../test/bar.rs");
    assert_eq!(path.canonicalize().unwrap(), PathBuf::from("/foo/test/bar.rs"));Run

#### `fn read_link(&self) -> Result<PathBuf>`
1.5.0
[src]

Reads a symbolic link, returning the file that the link points to.

This is an alias to `fs::read_link`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/laputa/sky_castle.rs");
    let path_link = path.read_link().expect("read_link call failed");Run

#### `fn read_dir(&self) -> Result<ReadDir>`
1.5.0
[src]

Returns an iterator over the entries within a directory.

The iterator will yield instances of `io::Result``<``DirEntry``>`. New errors may be encountered after an iterator is initially constructed.

This is an alias to `fs::read_dir`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;

    let path = Path::new("/laputa");
    for entry in path.read_dir().expect("read_dir call failed") {
        if let Ok(entry) = entry {
            println!("{:?}", entry.path());
        }
    }Run

#### `fn exists(&self) -> bool`
1.5.0
[src]

Returns whether the path points at an existing entity.

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file. In case of broken symbolic links this will return `false`.

If you cannot access the directory containing the file, e.g. because of a permission error, this will return `false`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;
    assert_eq!(Path::new("does_not_exist.txt").exists(), false);Run

# See Also

This is a convenience function that coerces errors to false. If you want to check errors, call fs::metadata.

#### `fn is_file(&self) -> bool`
1.5.0
[src]

Returns whether the path is pointing at a regular file.

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file. In case of broken symbolic links this will return `false`.

If you cannot access the directory containing the file, e.g. because of a permission error, this will return `false`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;
    assert_eq!(Path::new("./is_a_directory/").is_file(), false);
    assert_eq!(Path::new("a_file.txt").is_file(), true);Run

# See Also

[src]

Returns whether the path is pointing at a directory.

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file. In case of broken symbolic links this will return `false`.

If you cannot access the directory containing the file, e.g. because of a permission error, this will return `false`.

# Examples

    use std::path::Path;
    assert_eq!(Path::new("./is_a_directory/").is_dir(), true);
    assert_eq!(Path::new("a_file.txt").is_dir(), false);Run

# See Also

This is a convenience function that coerces errors to false. If you want to check errors, call fs::metadata and handle its Result. Then call fs::Metadata::is_dir if it was Ok.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
