}

Extension convenience trait that allows pre-allocating files, suggesting random access pattern and doing cross-platform exact reads/writes

Required Methods

fn size(&self) -> Result<u64>

Get file size

fn preallocate(&self, len: u64) -> Result<()>

Make sure file has specified number of bytes allocated for it

fn advise_random_access(&self) -> Result<()>

Advise OS/file system that file will use random access and read-ahead behavior is undesirable, on Windows this can only be set when file is opened, see OpenOptionsExt

fn advise_sequential_access(&self) -> Result<()>

Advise OS/file system that file will use sequential access and read-ahead behavior is desirable, on Windows this can only be set when file is opened, see OpenOptionsExt

fn disable_cache(&self) -> Result<()>

Disable cache on macOS

fn read_exact_at(&self, buf: &mut [u8], offset: u64) -> Result<()>

Read exact number of bytes at a specific offset

fn write_all_at(&self, buf: &[u8], offset: u64) -> Result<()>

Write all provided bytes at a specific offset
