1same-file 2========= 3A safe and cross platform crate to determine whether two files or directories 4are the same. 5 6[![Build status](https://github.com/BurntSushi/same-file/workflows/ci/badge.svg)](https://github.com/BurntSushi/same-file/actions) 7[![](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/same-file)](https://crates.io/crates/same-file) 8 9Dual-licensed under MIT or the [UNLICENSE](http://unlicense.org). 10 11### Documentation 12 13https://docs.rs/same-file 14 15### Usage 16 17Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: 18 19```toml 20[dependencies] 21same-file = "1" 22``` 23 24### Example 25 26The simplest use of this crate is to use the `is_same_file` function, which 27takes two file paths and returns true if and only if they refer to the same 28file: 29 30```rust,no_run 31use same_file::is_same_file; 32 33fn main() { 34 assert!(is_same_file("/bin/sh", "/usr/bin/sh").unwrap()); 35} 36``` 37 38### Minimum Rust version policy 39 40This crate's minimum supported `rustc` version is `1.34.0`. 41 42The current policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate 43can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if `crate 1.0` requires 44Rust 1.20.0, then `crate 1.0.z` for all values of `z` will also require Rust 451.20.0 or newer. However, `crate 1.y` for `y > 0` may require a newer minimum 46version of Rust. 47 48In general, this crate will be conservative with respect to the minimum 49supported version of Rust. 50
