[![Linux build status](https://api.travis-ci.org/BurntSushi/same-file.png)](https://travis-ci.org/BurntSushi/same-file) [![Windows build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/BurntSushi/same-file?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/BurntSushi/same-file) [![](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/same-file)](https://crates.io/crates/same-file) Dual-licensed under MIT or the [UNLICENSE](http://unlicense.org). ### Documentation https://docs.rs/same-file ### Usage Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] same-file = "1" ``` and this to your crate root: ```rust extern crate same_file; ``` ### Example The simplest use of this crate is to use the `is_same_file` function, which takes two file paths and returns true if and only if they refer to the same file: ```rust extern crate same_file; use same_file::is_same_file; fn main() { assert!(is_same_file("/bin/sh", "/usr/bin/sh").unwrap()); } ```
