Function metadata

pub async fn metadata<P>(path: P) -> Result<Metadata, Error>
where
    P: AsRef<Path>,

Reads metadata for a path.

This function will traverse symbolic links to read metadata for the target file or directory. If you want to read metadata without following symbolic links, use symlink_metadata() instead.

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.

Examples

let perm = async_fs::metadata("a.txt").await?.permissions();
