Enum LinkMethod

pub enum LinkMethod {
    Reflink,
    Hardlink,
    Softlink,
    Copy,
    Patched(FileMode),
}

Describes the method to “link” a file from the source directory (or the cache directory) to the destination directory.

Variants

Reflink

A ref link is created from the cache to the destination. This ensures that the file does not take up more disk-space and that the file is not accidentally modified in the cache.

Hardlink

A hard link is created from the cache to the destination. This ensures that the file does not take up more disk-space but has the downside that if the file is accidentally modified it is also modified in the cache.

Softlink

A soft link is created. The link does not refer to the original file in the cache directory but instead it points to another file in the destination.

Copy

A copy of a file is created from a file in the cache directory to a file in the destination directory.

Patched(FileMode)

A copy of a file is created and it is also patched.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for LinkMethod

fn clone(&self) -> LinkMethod

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for LinkMethod

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for LinkMethod

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for LinkMethod

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for LinkMethod

fn eq(&self, other: &LinkMethod) -> 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.
