Function readSmallFile [src]

On operating systems that support symlinks, does a readlink. On other operating systems, uses the file contents. Windows supports symlinks but only with elevated privileges, so it is treated as not supporting symlinks.

Prototype

pub fn readSmallFile(dir: fs.Dir, sub_path: []const u8, buffer: []u8) ![]u8

Parameters

dir: fs.Dirsub_path: []const u8buffer: []u8

Source

  pub fn readSmallFile(dir: fs.Dir, sub_path: []const u8, buffer: []u8) ![]u8 {
    if (builtin.os.tag == .windows) {
        return dir.readFile(sub_path, buffer);
    } else {
        return dir.readLink(sub_path, buffer);
    }
}
