Tracking Issue for fs_try_exists · Issue #83186 · rust-lang/rust (original) (raw)

Feature gate: #![feature(path_try_exists)]

This is a tracking issue for try_exists() method on std::path::Path.

This method is similar to exists() method except it does not silently ignore errors that made it impossible to find out if the path actually exists (e.g. lack of permission on parent dir). Thus it naturally returns io::Result<bool> instead of just bool.

Public API

mod fs { pub fn try_exists<P: AsRef>(path: P) -> Result; }

impl Path { #[stable(since = "1.63.0")] pub fn try_exists(&self) -> io::Result; }
