kxio

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]
[ ]	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.
[ ]	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.
[ ]	write	file::write	Write a slice as the entire contents of a file.
[ ]	try_exists	path::exists	Returns Ok(true) if the path points at an existing entity.

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.
