Hi, I am a coder new to Rust.
I am using std::fs::OpenOptions::new() .write(true) .create_new(true) .open(path) to create a new file without overwriting any old files by mistake. I also want to handle the "file already exits" error separately from any other unforeseeable case.
The error I get from trying to create_new on an existing file with {:?} is Error { repr: Os { code: 80, message: "The file exists." } }. However, error.kind() returns io::ErrorKind::Other not io::ErrorKind::AlreadyExists as I expected. I assume the Os error code 80 is windows only and ErrorKind is the cross platform way to work on errors, so is this a bug or missing feature in the std?
my setup:
