Function smol::fs::read_to_string
source · [−]Expand description
Reads the entire contents of a file as a string.
This is a convenience function for reading entire files. It pre-allocates a string based on the file size when available, so it is typically faster than manually opening a file and reading from it.
If you want to read the contents as raw bytes, use read()
instead.
Errors
An error will be returned in the following situations:
path
does not point to an existing file.- The current process lacks permissions to read the file.
- The contents of the file cannot be read as a UTF-8 string.
- Some other I/O error occurred.
Examples
let contents = async_fs::read_to_string("a.txt").await?;
