Library for detecting the operating system type and version.
Based on os_type by Jan Schulte. The main difference of os_info is that this library separates completely incompatible operating systems by conditional compilation and uses specific system API whenever is possible.
To use this crate, add os_info as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
os_info = "0.6.0"
```rust extern crate os_info;
let os = os_info::get();
// Print full information: println!("OS information: {}", info);
// Print information separately: println!("Type: {}", info.os_type()); println!("Version: {}", info.version()); ```
Right now, the following operating system types can be returned: - Unknown - Redhat - CentOS - Fedora - OSX - Ubuntu - Debian - Arch - Redox - Windows - Alpine
If you need support for more OS types, I am looking forward to your Pull Request.
On Linux based systems this library requires that lsb_release is installed.
