Checking Permissions of components of a path in Rust

Question

I have a path to a file with multiple / characters separating the path components. Is there any way I can check the permissions of each directory and the file with <std::path::Components as core::iter::traits::iterator::Iterator>::next ?

Answer 1

Path components aren't Path s themselves. You are likely looking for std::path::Path.ancestors() . You can iterate over those and check their metadata()?.permissions().mode() as you like.
