Function metadata [src]

Returns a Metadata struct, representing the permissions on the directory

Prototype

pub fn metadata(self: Dir) MetadataError!Metadata

Parameters

self: Dir

Possible Errors

AccessDenied FStatError

In WASI, this error may occur when the file descriptor does not hold the required rights to get its filestat information.

PermissionDenied FStatError
SystemResources FStatError
Unexpected UnexpectedError

The Operating System returned an undocumented error code.

This error is in theory not possible, but it would be better to handle this error than to invoke undefined behavior.

When this error code is observed, it usually means the Zig Standard Library needs a small patch to add the error code to the error set for the respective function.

pub fn metadata(self: Dir) MetadataError!Metadata { const file: File = .{ .handle = self.fd }; return try file.metadata(); }
