# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::ffi::OsStr

    pub struct OsStr { /* fields omitted */ }

Borrowed reference to an OS string (see `OsString`).

This type represents a borrowed reference to a string in the operating system's preferred representation.

`&OsStr` is to `OsString` as `&str` is to `String`: the former in each pair are borrowed references; the latter are owned strings.

See the module's toplevel documentation about conversions for a discussion on the traits which `OsStr` implements for conversions from/to native representations.

## Methods

### `impl OsStr`[src]

#### `pub fn new<S: AsRef<OsStr> + ?Sized>(s: &S) -> &OsStr`[src]

Coerces into an `OsStr` slice.

# Examples

    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    let os_str = OsStr::new("foo");Run

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

Yields a `&str` slice if the `OsStr` is valid Unicode.

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

# Examples

    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    let os_str = OsStr::new("foo");
    assert_eq!(os_str.to_str(), Some("foo"));Run

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

Converts an `OsStr` to a `Cow``<``str``>`.

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

# Examples

Calling `to_string_lossy` on an `OsStr` with invalid unicode:

    // Note, due to differences in how Unix and Windows represent strings,
    // we are forced to complicate this example, setting up example `OsStr`s
    // with different source data and via different platform extensions.
    // Understand that in reality you could end up with such example invalid
    // sequences simply through collecting user command line arguments, for
    // example.

    #[cfg(any(unix, target_os = "redox"))] {
        use std::ffi::OsStr;
        use std::os::unix::ffi::OsStrExt;

        // Here, the values 0x66 and 0x6f correspond to 'f' and 'o'
        // respectively. The value 0x80 is a lone continuation byte, invalid
        // in a UTF-8 sequence.
        let source = [0x66, 0x6f, 0x80, 0x6f];
        let os_str = OsStr::from_bytes(&source[..]);

        assert_eq!(os_str.to_string_lossy(), "fo�o");
    }
    #[cfg(windows)] {
        use std::ffi::OsString;
        use std::os::windows::prelude::*;

        // Here the values 0x0066 and 0x006f correspond to 'f' and 'o'
        // respectively. The value 0xD800 is a lone surrogate half, invalid
        // in a UTF-16 sequence.
        let source = [0x0066, 0x006f, 0xD800, 0x006f];
        let os_string = OsString::from_wide(&source[..]);
        let os_str = os_string.as_os_str();

        assert_eq!(os_str.to_string_lossy(), "fo�o");
    }Run

#### `pub fn to_os_string(&self) -> OsString`[src]

Copies the slice into an owned `OsString`.

# Examples

    use std::ffi::{OsStr, OsString};

    let os_str = OsStr::new("foo");
    let os_string = os_str.to_os_string();
    assert_eq!(os_string, OsString::from("foo"));Run

#### `pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool` 1.9.0[src]

Checks whether the `OsStr` is empty.

# Examples

    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    let os_str = OsStr::new("");
    assert!(os_str.is_empty());

    let os_str = OsStr::new("foo");
    assert!(!os_str.is_empty());Run

#### `pub fn len(&self) -> usize` 1.9.0[src]

Returns the length of this `OsStr`.

Note that this does not return the number of bytes in the string in OS string form.

The length returned is that of the underlying storage used by `OsStr`. As discussed in the `OsString` introduction, `OsString` and `OsStr` store strings in a form best suited for cheap inter-conversion between native-platform and Rust string forms, which may differ significantly from both of them, including in storage size and encoding.

This number is simply useful for passing to other methods, like `OsString::with_capacity` to avoid reallocations.

# Examples

    use std::ffi::OsStr;

    let os_str = OsStr::new("");
    assert_eq!(os_str.len(), 0);

    let os_str = OsStr::new("foo");
    assert_eq!(os_str.len(), 3);Run

#### `pub fn into_os_string(self: Box<OsStr>) -> OsString` 1.20.0[src]

Converts a `Box``<OsStr>` into an `OsString` without copying or allocating.
