# Enum std::path::Component [−] [src]

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

1.0.0

A single component of a path.

See the module documentation for an in-depth explanation of components and their role in the API.

## Variants

`Prefix` | A Windows path prefix, e.g. `C:` or `\server\share`. Does not occur on Unix. |
`RootDir` | The root directory component, appears after any prefix and before anything else |
`CurDir` | A reference to the current directory, i.e. `.` |
`ParentDir` | A reference to the parent directory, i.e. `..` |
`Normal` | A normal component, i.e. `a` and `b` in `a/b` |

## 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`)
