Source

pub async fn symlink_metadata<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Metadata>

§Errors

An error will be returned in the following situations:

• path does not point to an existing file or directory.
• The current process lacks permissions to read metadata for the path.
• Some other I/O error occurred.
