This crate helps you to detect the current desktop environment.
It was inspired by the detectDE
function from xdg-util.
Run the following command in your project:
cargo add detect-desktop-environment
```rust use detectdesktopenvironment::DesktopEnvironment;
fn main() { match DesktopEnvironment::detect() { Some(de) => println!("detected desktop environment: {de:?}"), None => println!("failed to detect desktop environment"), } } ```
This library exposes two symbols: the detect function and it returns value: the
DesktopValue enum. All the variants are listed below in the "Supported environments"
section.
