libfetch

Simple but reliable library for fetch tools written in Rust 🦀.

Note: it is experimental and early version of crate

Overview

It's hard to create a cool fetch tool for Linux, so this library tries to simplify the process. The library does not call any other programs, such as "uname -n" or "uptime". It tries to fetch the operating system information in a more reliable way.

Goals

• avoid unsafe blocks (but not always possible);
• avoid calling external programs;
• multiplatform;
• simple API;

To-Do

• write tests
• add support for Windows and handle unknown OS

Alternatives

• Macchina-CLI/libmacchina
• GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo
• FillZpp/sys-info-rs
