Function read_to_string

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

Reads the entire contents of a file as a string.

This is a convenience function for reading entire files. It pre-allocates a string based on the file size when available, so it is typically faster than manually opening a file and reading from it.

If you want to read the contents as raw bytes, use read() instead.

Errors

An error will be returned in the following situations:

• path does not point to an existing file.
• The current process lacks permissions to read the file.
• The contents of the file cannot be read as a UTF-8 string.
• Some other I/O error occurred.

Examples

let contents = async_fs::read_to_string("a.txt").await?;
