Crate nix

Source
Expand description

Rust friendly bindings to the various *nix system functions.

Modules are structured according to the C header file that they would be defined in.

Re-exports§

Modules§

  • dir
  • env
    Environment variables
  • errno
  • fcntl
  • features
    Feature tests for OS functionality
  • ifaddrs
    Query network interface addresses
  • kmod
    Load and unload kernel modules.
  • mount
    Mount file systems
  • mqueue
    Posix Message Queue functions
  • net
    Functionality involving network interfaces
  • poll
    Wait for events to trigger on specific file descriptors
  • pty
    Create master and slave virtual pseudo-terminals (PTYs)
  • sched
    Execution scheduling
  • sys
    Mostly platform-specific functionality
  • time
  • ucontext
  • unistd
    Safe wrappers around functions found in libc “unistd.h” header

Macros§

  • cmsg_space
    Create a buffer large enough for storing some control messages as returned by recvmsg.
  • ioctl_none
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that passes no data to the kernel.
  • ioctl_none_bad
    Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that passes no data to the kernel.
  • ioctl_read
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads data from the kernel.
  • ioctl_read_bad
    Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that reads data from the kernel.
  • ioctl_read_buf
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads an array of elements from the kernel.
  • ioctl_readwrite
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads and writes data to the kernel.
  • ioctl_readwrite_bad
    Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that reads and writes data to the kernel.
  • ioctl_readwrite_buf
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that reads and writes an array of elements to the kernel.
  • ioctl_write_buf
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that writes an array of elements to the kernel.
  • ioctl_write_int
    Generates a wrapper function for a ioctl that writes an integer to the kernel.
  • ioctl_write_int_bad
    Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that writes an integer to the kernel.
  • ioctl_write_ptr
    Generates a wrapper function for an ioctl that writes data through a pointer to the kernel.
  • ioctl_write_ptr_bad
    Generates a wrapper function for a “bad” ioctl that writes data through a pointer to the kernel.
  • request_code_none
    Generate an ioctl request code for a command that passes no data.
  • request_code_read
    Generate an ioctl request code for a command that reads.
  • request_code_readwrite
    Generate an ioctl request code for a command that reads and writes.
  • request_code_write
    Generate an ioctl request code for a command that writes.

Traits§

  • NixPath
    Common trait used to represent file system paths by many Nix functions.
