tor_persist/load_store.rs
1//! Helper module for loading and storing via serde
2//!
3//! Utilities to load or store a serde-able object,
4//! in JSON format,
5//! to/from a disk file at a caller-specified filename.
6//!
7//! The caller is supposed to do any necessary locking.
8//!
9//! The entrypoints are methods on `[Target]`,
10//! which the caller is supposed to construct.
