Struct filetime::FileTime

pub struct FileTime { /* fields omitted */ }

A helper structure to represent a timestamp for a file.

The actual value contined within is platform-specific and does not have the same meaning across platforms, but comparisons and stringification can be significant among the same platform.

Methods

impl FileTime

pub fn zero() -> FileTime

Creates a new timestamp representing a 0 time.

Useful for creating the base of a cmp::max chain of times.

pub fn from_unix_time(seconds: i64, nanos: u32) -> FileTime

Creates a new instance of FileTime with a number of seconds and nanoseconds relative to the Unix epoch, 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

Negative seconds represent times before the Unix epoch, and positive values represent times after it. Nanos always count forwards in time.

Note that this is typically the relative point that Unix time stamps are from, but on Windows the native time stamp is relative to January 1, 1601 so the return value of seconds from the returned FileTime instance may not be the same as that passed in.

pub fn from_last_modification_time(meta: &Metadata) -> FileTime

Creates a new timestamp from the last modification time listed in the specified metadata.

The returned value corresponds to the mtime field of stat on Unix platforms and the ftLastWriteTime field on Windows platforms.

pub fn from_last_access_time(meta: &Metadata) -> FileTime

Creates a new timestamp from the last access time listed in the specified metadata.

The returned value corresponds to the atime field of stat on Unix platforms and the ftLastAccessTime field on Windows platforms.

pub fn from_creation_time(meta: &Metadata) -> Option<FileTime>

Creates a new timestamp from the creation time listed in the specified metadata.

The returned value corresponds to the birthtime field of stat on Unix platforms and the ftCreationTime field on Windows platforms. Note that not all Unix platforms have this field available and may return None in some circumstances.

pub fn from_system_time(time: SystemTime) -> FileTime

Creates a new timestamp from the given SystemTime.

Windows counts file times since 1601-01-01T00:00:00Z, and cannot represent times before this, but it's possible to create a SystemTime that does. This function will error if passed such a SystemTime.

pub fn seconds(&self) -> i64

Returns the whole number of seconds represented by this timestamp.

Note that this value's meaning is platform specific. On Unix platform time stamps are typically relative to January 1, 1970, but on Windows platforms time stamps are relative to January 1, 1601.

pub fn unix_seconds(&self) -> i64

Returns the whole number of seconds represented by this timestamp, relative to the Unix epoch start of January 1, 1970.

Note that this does not return the same value as seconds for Windows platforms as seconds are relative to a different date there.

pub fn nanoseconds(&self) -> u32

Returns the nanosecond precision of this timestamp.

The returned value is always less than one billion and represents a portion of a second forward from the seconds returned by the seconds method.
