Rust library to detect the operating system type
Include this into your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
os_type="1.0.0"
In your code:
rust
extern crate os_type;
let os = os_type::current_platform();
println!("Type: {:?}", os.os_type);
println!("Version: {}", os.version);
Or to provide different handling on different operating systems:
rust
match os_type::current_platform().os_type {
os_type::OSType::OSX => {
println!("This is probably an apple laptop!");
}
os_type::OSType::Ubuntu => {
println!("This is running Ubuntu Linux!");
}
_ => {
println!("I can't tell what system this is.");
}
}
Right now, the following operating system types can be returned: - Unknown - Redhat - CentOS - OSX - Ubuntu - Debian - Arch - Manjaro
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.
