Still maintained for now, but deprecated. Instead, we are focusing on cap-std and the successor to this crate is cap-std-ext.

Helpers for the openat crate

This crate defines a number of extension methods on openat::Dir with the common file utility functions that many real applications need.

This crate is deprecated

This crate is deprecated. Development has shifted to the cap-std ecosystem, and the successor to this crate is cap-std-ext.

Extension methods for openat::Dir and std::fs::File

use openat_ext::OpenatDirExt;

The openat crate is a low-level API, generally just exposing thin wrappers for the underlying system call. This crate offers a number of common higher level convenience functions.

More recently, there is also an FileExt available; it currently just contains an optimized file copy method that will hopefully go into the standard library.
