On Windows with the NTFS filesystem, `fs::copy` would return the sum of the
lengths of all streams, which can be different from the length reported by
`metadata` and thus confusing for users unaware of this NTFS peculiarity.
This makes `fs::copy` return the same length `metadata` reports which is the
value it used to return before PR #26751. Note that alternate streams are still
copied; their length is just not included in the returned value.
This change relies on the assumption that the stream with index 1 is always the
main stream in the `CopyFileEx` callback. I could not find any official
document confirming this but empirical testing has shown this to be true,
regardless of whether the alternate stream is created before or after the main
stream.
Resolves#44532
Symlink creation on Windows has in the past basically required admin;
it’s being opened up a bit in the Creators Update, so that at least
people who have put their computers into Developer Mode will be able to
create symlinks without special privileges. (Microsoft are being
cautious about it all; the Developer Mode requirement makes it so that
it this won’t be as helpful as I’d like, but it’s still an improvement
over requiring admin.)
Because of compatibility concerns, they’ve hidden this new functionality
behind a new flag in the CreateSymbolicLink dwFlags:
SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE. So we add this flag in
order to join the party.
Older Windows doesn’t like this new flag, though, so if we encounter
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER we try again without the new flag.

On unix like systems, the underlying file corresponding to any given path may
change at any time. This function makes it possible to set the permissions of
the a file corresponding to a `File` object even if its path changes.
It is good practice to implement Debug for public types, and
indicating what directory you're reading seems useful.

These functions allow to read from and write to a file in one atomic
action from multiple threads, avoiding the race between the seek and the
read.
The functions are named `{read,write}_at` on non-Windows (which don't
change the file cursor), and `seek_{read,write}` on Windows (which
change the file cursor).

This pushes the implementation detail of proxying `read_to_end` through to
`read_to_end_uninitialized` all the way down to the `FileDesc` and `Handle`
implementations on Unix/Windows. This way intermediate layers will also be able
to take advantage of this optimized implementation.
This commit also adds the optimized implementation for `ChildStdout` and
`ChildStderr`.
Because we no longer use `GetFileAttributesExW` FileAttr is never created
directly from `WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA` anymore.
So we should no longer store FileAttr's attributes in that c struct.
Fix `read_link` to also be able to read the target of junctions on Windows.
Also the path returned should not include a NT namespace, and there were
some problems with permissions.
These accessors are used to get at the last modification, last access, and
creation time of the underlying file. Currently not all platforms provide the
creation time, so that currently returns `Option`.
- use `symlink_file` and `symlink_dir` instead of the old `soft_link`
- create a junction instead of a directory symlink for testing recursive_rmdir (as it causes the
same troubles, but can be created by users without `SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege`)
- `remove_dir_all` was unable to remove directory symlinks and junctions
- only run tests that create symlinks if we have the right permissions.
- rename `Path2` to `Path`
- remove the global `#[allow(deprecated)]` and outdated comments
- After factoring out `create_junction()` from the test `directory_junctions_are_directories` and
removing needlessly complex code, what I was left with was:
```
#[test]
#[cfg(windows)]
fn directory_junctions_are_directories() {
use sys::fs::create_junction;
let tmpdir = tmpdir();
let foo = tmpdir.join("foo");
let bar = tmpdir.join("bar");
fs::create_dir(&foo).unwrap();
check!(create_junction(&foo, &bar));
assert!(bar.metadata().unwrap().is_dir());
}
```
It test whether a junction is a directory instead of a reparse point. But it actually test the
target of the junction (which is a directory if it exists) instead of the junction itself, which
should always be a symlink. So this test is invalid, and I expect it only exists because the
author was suprised by it. So I removed it.
Some things that do not yet work right:
- relative symlinks do not accept forward slashes
- the conversion of paths for `create_junction` is hacky
- `remove_dir_all` now messes with the internal data of `FileAttr` to be able to remove symlinks.
We should add some method like `is_symlink_dir()` to it, so code outside the standard library
can see the difference between file and directory symlinks too.
I have it set as stable right now under the rationale that it's extending an existing, stable API to another type in the "obvious" way.

Tracking issue: #30014
This implements the RFC and makes a few other changes.
I have added a few extra tests, and made the Windows and
Unix code as similar as possible.
Part of the RFC mentions the unstable OpenOptionsExt trait
on Windows (see #27720). I have added a few extra methods
to future-proof it for CreateFile2.
* Delete `sys::unix::{c, sync}` as these are now all folded into libc itself
* Update all references to use `libc` as a result.
* Update all references to the new flat namespace.
* Moves all windows bindings into sys::c
This commit adds #[derive(Clone)] to std::fs::Metadata, making that struct
cloneable. Although the exact contents of that struct differ between OSes,
they all have it contain only value types, meaning that the data can be re-used without repercussions.
It also adds #[derive(Clone)] to every type used by that struct across all
OSes, including the various Unix `stat` structs and Windows's
`WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA`.
This commit removes all unstable and deprecated functions in the standard
library. A release was recently cut (1.3) which makes this a good time for some
spring cleaning of the deprecated functions.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1184][rfc] which tweaks the behavior of
the `#![no_std]` attribute and adds a new `#![no_core]` attribute. The
`#![no_std]` attribute now injects `extern crate core` at the top of the crate
as well as the libcore prelude into all modules (in the same manner as the
standard library's prelude). The `#![no_core]` attribute disables both std and
core injection.
