# cgroups-fs [](https://crates.io/crates/cgroups-fs) [](https://docs.rs/cgroups-fs) [](https://travis-ci.org/frol/cgroups-fs)
Native Rust library for managing Linux Control Groups (cgroups).
This crate, curently, only supports the original, V1 hierarchy. You are welcome to contribute
Cgroups V2 support.
## Prior art
* [cgroups](https://crates.io/crates/cgroups) - it does too many things (e.g. creates cgroups in
the subsystems that I don't plan to use, parses control files that I don't plan to use).
## Usage
First, add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
cgroups-fs = "1.0"
```
Next, use it in your crate:
```rust
use cgroups_fs;
```
## Examples
```rust
use cgroups_fs;
let my_cgroup = cgroups_fs::CgroupName("my-cgroup");
let my_cpu_cgroup = cgroups_fs::Cgroup::init(&my_cgroup, "cpu")?;
println!(
"The current CPU shares in `my-cgroup` control group is {}",
my_cpu_cgroup.get_value::<u64>("cpu.shares")
);
```
Please, find more examples in [the documentation](https://docs.rs/cgroups-fs#examples).
