pub fn recursive_remove<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>Expand description
A wrapper around std::fs::remove_dir_all that can also be used on non-directory entries,
including files and symbolic links.
- This will produce an error if the target path is not found.
- Like
std::fs::remove_dir_all, this helper does not traverse symbolic links, will remove symbolic link itself. - This helper is not robust against races on the underlying filesystem, behavior is unspecified if this helper is called concurrently.
- This helper is not robust against TOCTOU problems.
FIXME: this implementation is insufficiently robust to replace bootstrap’s clean rm_rf
implementation:
- This implementation currently does not perform retries.
