Subject: [PATCH v10 1/7] rust: debugfs: Add initial support for directories
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 22:53:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819-debugfs-rust-v10-1-86e20f3cf3bb@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250819-debugfs-rust-v10-0-86e20f3cf3bb@google.com>
Adds a `debugfs::Dir` type that can be used to create and remove
DebugFS directories. The `Dir` handle automatically cleans up the
directory on `Drop`.
