Enum FileType 

#[repr(u32)]
pub enum FileType {
    RegularFile = 0,
    Directory = 1,
}

Represents the type of a file in the filesystem.

This enum is used to distinguish between different kinds of inodes, such as regular files and directories. It is stored on disk as part of the inode metadata to identify how the data associated with the inode should be interpreted.

Variants

RegularFile = 0

A regular file, containing user data.

This type represents standard files used to store arbitrary user content (e.g., text, binaries, etc.). The file’s data blocks are directly mapped to its contents.

Directory = 1

A directory, which stores a list of file entries.

A directory maps file names to inode numbers. Its contents are typically a structured list of directory entries that allow for hierarchical navigation within the filesystem.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FileType

fn clone(&self) -> FileType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FileType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for FileType

fn eq(&self, other: &FileType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl TryFrom<u32> for FileType

type Error = KernelError

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(value: u32) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Performs the conversion.

impl Copy for FileType

impl Eq for FileType

impl StructuralPartialEq for FileType
