[![status-badge](https://ci.kemitix.net/api/badges/53/status.svg)](https://ci.kemitix.net/repos/53)
Provides injectable Filesystem and Network resources to make code more testable.
### FileSystem
There are two FileSystem implementation: [filesystem] and [fs].
- [filesystem] is the legacy implementation and will be removed in a future version.
- [fs] is the current version and is intended to stand-in for and extend the [std::fs] module from the Standard Library.
#### std::fs alternatives
| To Do | [std::fs] | [kxio::fs::FileSystem] | |
| ----- | ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [ ] | canonicalize | path_canonicalize | Returns the canonical, absolute form of a path with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic links resolved. |
| [ ] | copy | file_copy | Copies the contents of one file to another. This function will also copy the permission bits of the original file to the destination file. |
| [ ] | create_dir | dir_create | Creates a new, empty directory at the provided path |
| [ ] | create_dir_all | dir_create_all | Recursively create a directory and all of its parent components if they are missing. |
| [ ] | hard_link | link_create | Creates a new hard link on the filesystem. |
| [ ] | metadata | path_metadata | Given a path, query the file system to get information about a file, directory, etc. |
| [ ] | read | file_read | Read the entire contents of a file into a bytes vector. |
| [ ] | read_dir | dir_read | Returns an iterator over the entries within a directory. |
| [ ] | read_link | link_read | Reads a symbolic link, returning the file that the link points to. |
| [x] | read_to_string | file_read_to_string | Read the entire contents of a file into a string. |
| [ ] | remove_dir | dir_remove | Removes an empty directory. |
| [ ] | remove_dir_all | dir_remove_all | Removes a directory at this path, after removing all its contents. Use carefully! |
| [ ] | remove_file | file_remove | Removes a file from the filesystem. |
| [ ] | rename | path_rename | Rename a file or directory to a new name, replacing the original file if to already exists. |
| [ ] | set_permissions | path_set_permissions | Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory. |
| [ ] | symlink_metadata | link_metadata | Query the metadata about a file without following symlinks. |
| [x] | write | file_write | Write a slice as the entire contents of a file. |
### Network
The entire [network] module needs to be completly rewritten
It's use is strongly discouraged.
A new [net] module will likely be its replacement.
