# 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

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let mut path = PathBuf::from("c:\\");
    path.push("windows");
    path.push("system32");
    path.set_extension("dll");Run

## Methods

### `impl PathBuf`
[src]

#### `fn new() -> PathBuf`

Allocates an empty `PathBuf`.

# Examples

    use std::path::PathBuf;

    let path = PathBuf::new();Run

#### `fn as_path(&self) -> &Path`

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)`

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`

Truncate `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)`

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`

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`

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>`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`into_boxed_path` #40380)

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

## Methods from Deref<Target = Path>

#### `fn as_os_str(&self) -> &OsStr`

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>`

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>`

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`

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`

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`

Return `false` 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`

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>`

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>`

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

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`

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`

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>`

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>`

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`

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`

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`

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`

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.

- Occurentces of `.` are normalized away, exept 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`

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`

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>`

    println!("{:?}", metadata.file_type());Run

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

    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

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

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

## 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`)
