du

rust-du

This is just an implementation of du -sb in Rust so that I can play around with learning Rust.

Some things that doing this project allowed me touch on in Rust:

• Error Handling

  • with the try! macro calls in lib.rs
  • with pattern matching inside the main function
  • and some unwraps, sprinkled around the place

• Argument Parsing

  • with getopts

• Generic Code

  • using AsRef

• Testing

• Packaging
