Cavity

Very small library to create files. It's an alternative to macOS's mkfile(8) that works on everything that has rust's std. Unlike mkfile this uses configurable chunksize and has default of 512Kb.

Installation

cavity is available on crates.io and can be included in your Cargo enabled project like this:

Example

Read the "docs".

use cavity::{fill, Bytes, WriteMode};
use std::fs::File;
let mut f = File::create("wat.test").unwrap();
fill(Bytes::MegaBytes(5), None, WriteMode::FlushEvery, &mut f).unwrap();
