file_info
Overview
This program demonstrates how to inspect file metadata using the Rust standard library. It reads the metadata of a specified file and prints details such as the file size and type.
How It Works
The program uses the fs::metadata function to get metadata information about the specified file. It checks if the given path is a regular file, a directory, or another type. It prints the file size (in bytes) and its type to the terminal.
Running the Program
Ensure Rust is installed on your system. You can download it from rust-lang.org.
Setup
Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url>
cd file_info
Create a file named example.txt in the project directory or modify the filename in the code to match an existing file. Build and run the program:
cargo run
Expected Output
If the file example.txt exists, you'll see output similar to:
File Size: 123 bytes
File Type: Regular File
Notes
This program is designed to be run in the terminal. It currently works on Unix-based systems due to its use of MetadataExt from std::os::unix.
