# Function metadata

    pub fn metadata<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Metadata

Expand description

A wrapper around `std::fs::metadata` which includes the file path in the panic message. Note that this will traverse symlinks and will return metadata about the target file. Use `symlink_metadata` if you don’t want to traverse symlinks.

See `std::fs::metadata` docs for more details.
