Overview

Library for detecting the operating system type and version.

Based on os_type. 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.

Usage

To use this crate, add os_info as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] os_info = "2.0.0"

This project has serde as an optional dependency, so if you don't need it, then you can speed up compilation disabling it:

toml [dependencies] os_info = { version = "2.0.0", default-features = false }

Example

```rust let info = os_info::get();

// Print full information: println!("OS information: {}", info);

// Print information separately: println!("Type: {}", info.os_type()); println!("Version: {}", info.version()); println!("Bitness: {}", info.bitness()); ```

Right now, the following operating system types can be returned:

• Unknown
• Android
• Emscripten
• Linux
• Redhat
• RedHatEnterprise
• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Arch
• CentOS
• Fedora
• Amazon
• Alpine
• SUSE Linux Enterprise
• openSUSE
• Macos
• Redox
• Windows

If you need support for more OS types, I am looking forward to your Pull Request.

Requirements

On Linux based systems this library requires that [lsb_release] is installed.
