Status:
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.
To use this crate, add os_info
as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
os_info = "2.0.2"
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 }
```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:
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.
