#description

Rust is a system programming language that provides low-level control over hardware resources, making it perfect for building highly efficient applications. Rust provides robust support for working with files and directories, making it easy to perform various I/O operations.

File I/O refers to reading and writing data from files in the file system using any programming language. A file is a collection of data that is stored on a secondary storage device, such as a hard disk or flash drive. Rust provides many libraries that can be used to perform file I/O, such as the standard library, which has functions to read and write to files in various formats.

In a Rust course on File I/O, you will learn about various I/O operations, including reading and writing files, creating and deleting files and directories, buffering and flushing data, and working with file metadata. Additionally, you will get introduced to Rust modules relevant to file handling operations and learn how to structure Rust code for efficient file I/O.

The course will cover topics like:
  1. Reading data from files
  1. Writing data to files
  1. Creating, deleting and renaming files
  1. Using file systems and directory structures
  1. Buffering and flushing data
  1. Error handling in file I/O operations
  1. Binary and text files

By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of File I/O operations in Rust and be able to write efficient and reliable codes for file handling.
