Windows Implementation Library for Rust

Documentation

This crate does not provide raw FFI bindings to Windows API (the winapi crate is what you are looking for). This crate does demonstrate what a Windows Implementation Library could look like in Rust ("à la" https://github.com/microsoft/wil in C++).

The winapi crate is doing a great job in providing the bindings for Windows APIs. What winapi does not provide is a safety wrapper arroung those APIs (with error handling, resource management, ...).

This "wil" crate aims to present what could be a safe wrapper for Windows API.

If this crate is massively missing that something you need. Feel free to create an issue, open a pull request.

Example

This example is not correct... (yet)

Cargo.toml: toml [target.'cfg(windows)'.dependencies] wil = { version = "0.0.1" } main.rs: ```Rust

fn main() -> Result<(), {

let token =
    Token::from_current_process(TOKEN_DUPLICATE | TOKEN_QUERY | TOKEN_QUERY_SOURCE)?;

let token = if token.token_type()? == TokenPrimary {
    token.duplicate(TokenImpersonation)?
} else {
    token
};

if !token.is_admin()? {
    if token.can_elevate()? {
        println!("user is not an admin but can elevate to one");
    } else {
        println!("user is not an admin");
    }
}
else {

}
