| |
| This crate contains bindgen-generated bindings for Linux's userspace API. |
| |
| This is primarily of interest if you want to make raw system calls directly, |
| which is tedious and error prone and not necessary for most use cases. For a |
| minimal type-safe, memory-safe, and I/O-safe API to the Linux system calls |
| built on these bindings, see the [rustix crate]. |
| |
| The full bindings are quite large, so they've been split up into modules and |
| cargo features. By default, `general` and `errno` are enabled, which provide |
| most things needed by general-purpose code. |
| |
| To regenerate the generated bindings, run `cargo update && cd gen && cargo run --release`. |
| |
| ## Similar crates |
| |
| This is similar to [linux-sys], except the bindings are generated offline, |
| rather than in a build.rs, making downstream builds simpler. And, this crate |
| has bindings for more headers, as well as supplementary definitions not |
| exported by Linux's headers but nonetheless needed by userspace. |
| |
| # Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) |
| |
| This crate currently works on the version of [Rust on Debian stable], which is |
| currently Rust 1.48. This policy may change in the future, in minor version |
| releases, so users using a fixed version of Rust should pin to a specific |
| version of this crate. |
